Newcastle fans really do think they are more attractive than Man Utd. Even though Man Utd are at their lowest point for years, they are still getting to a final pretty much every season. They are huge and always will be.
Its great to wind the deluded ****ers up though
finished 16th, no champions league yet still a bigger draw ….
The fact United are still much much bigger than City after the last 15 years they’ve had tells you how far behind Newcastle are. Not even worth mentioning in the same sentence.
That’s fair enough. He’s honoured his contract. **** for the club they don’t get a big fee but they’ve priced him out of moves last summer and this (so far) so that’s their own doing
It is as much a fact of life as is night following day. Man Utd are one of the biggest clubs in the world. Occasionally it has been reasonable to say that they are the biggest, though not right now.
Even though they are losing some traction in Asia, ( they like to support the winners there) and their finances are an opaque mess of intractable debts, obligations and money seeping constantly out into the Glazers' pockets, still they are one of the biggest clubs in the world.
Anyone who has found themselves among ordinary people in other parts of the world, even pretty far out a few times in my case, will tell you the Man Utd is the name they ALL know. They are bigger than that lot, us and Boro put together, and no amount of wishing it wasn't so by these needy and inadequate characters is going to change that.
This doesn't bother us. It doesn't bother Boro. But it eats away at that lot's flesh and has been doing so since the nineties when after a couple of good seasons they thought, and often stated loudly, that "Man Utd are our rivals now". It was always an itch they couldn't scratch, now it has morphed into a scabrous flesh eating sore.
I think Le Bris really likes him and sees him as part of the seasons squad. Wouldn’t you think if he’d had multiple offers, he’d have sounded out the powers that be, as to his Sunderland future? I’d be amazed to see him leave and I think Le Bris has coached him into a niche role: wide player drifting deep into centre mid, which might be a real option for some games or more likely, parts of games. Just my opinion mind.
There is something in this. And for all Paddy's talent, he works extremely hard. I just have a feeling that if he's here all season he might have a surprising impact, even if he isn't a regular starter.
Well really, it needs saying. They don't know their arse from their elbow that lot.
I think he probably knows this is his last shot at the PL too and I respect that he’d want to stay with us even if he’s not a starter. As much as I don’t want him starting week in week out because I do think the full backs in the PL are just too physical for him in terms of pace and strength on the ball, he can defo make an impact off the bench.
He will have a impact, but wouldn't say it's surprising the lad has bags of ability and was a major factor in our 2 promotion seasons
Miller has just gone for 1.5m. I reckon this is just linking that sale to Hibs well known interest. Personally I think he can do better. St Pauli were linked earlier in the summer and have a decent track record of signing Aussies.
