Class how Newcastle are completely reliant on Sunderland's results to buzz off. We might be woeful but at least our memories stem from our own team getting 6 in a row, great escapes or Wembley weekends. The Mags however, have Burton and Portsmouth to thank for their kicks.

Said it before and I will say it again, if you cannot see what Jordan Henderson contributes to any team he plays for, I don't think I can discuss football with you.

The worst thing about all of this is that if we’d appointed Alex Neil on the Monday morning after Bolton I’d have been content with that but nearly two weeks of fannying on and getting our hopes up about Keane, leaking stories everywhere has made us a laughing stock.

Sunderland AFC is a football club that throughout its proud history has given hope and relief during tough times to thousands of working class and economically deprived people. To see its home used to peddle the message of austerity politics and despair makes me genuinely sad.

Don’t even care if I sound like a loser of whatever, I’m proud as fuck of that second half, seemingly out of the game and down to ten men but we dug in and competed brilliantly. Most I’ve known an away end stick behind a losing side as well. We’ll be absolutely fine!

Phil Parkinson must take all the credit for the way this has turned around, good positive football, mentality is spot on and we took the mick at times today. If we keep this up and go up I'll send him a double sided letter of apology and personally deliver it.

Now people are rattled because our fans went mental over a last minute equaliser after being two nil down with ten men? What do they want? 'pip pip chaps, well done but remember it's only Walsall!' have a day off will ya? Football is all about being in the moment!

Don’t want to be ‘that guy’ but I really feel for people who don’t support their local team/dad’s team. There’s a lad at work who supports Liverpool but is from Sunderland and I’ll guarantee we all felt more pride in winning the League one play offs than he has LFC winning the CL

Tin hat on, Tony Mowbray is not exciting or adventurous in any way but we don’t go down under him and think he’ll stabilise us top half Championship over time. Far from my 1st choice but he won’t be a disaster. Will hopefully give us foundations for someone better down the line.

The people two rows behind me at the match would have been raging at this move, from “fucking about it with it!” at the back, to not “getting it in the box” at the first time of asking and then combusting at Pritchard threading Cirkin through to score rather than “hitting it.”

I’ll get slaughtered for this but that’s a good result. Controlled large parts of the second half and these never concede at home or lose for a reason. Frustrating but to still be in the play offs at the end of this weekend is absolutely fine.

No worse crack in football than, 'they celebrated like they won the world cup, was only Bradford ffs.' Bore off man, after years of losing every week I saw a team full of players that want to be here, had a good day on the drink, saw my team win and had a lovely old time.

This bottling narrative can get in the sea. Bottlers don't go 12 league games unbeaten and come away with four points from two games after going a goal down. If we don't get promoted, we've only got ourselves to blame. I've seen us bottle it lots of times but today we didn't.

The problem with spending over ten years pretending to be morally outraged by Mike Ashley is that when you turn a blind eye to actual murder because the people involved own your football club you look like a bit of a knob.

Our ambition is to win the league, if you want to win the league you've got to be beating the likes Peterborough, Oxford and Charlton. Going in with an 'ooo it's a tough start' mentality and you're making excuses before we've even started.

Tell you what, Hoffman is great isn’t he? Not only did he make an outstanding save but his reading of the game is superb, mops up potentially dangerous situations so well and gets attacks going again. Aggressive, proactive goalkeeping which is great to see.

I genuinely wish I was Rafa Benitez, gets paid millions per year. If you lose, either Mike Ashley or the players get the blame. But if you win the odd game then there's a campaign for you to be included in the new years honours list and plans for a statue are made.

I completely get the reservations on Roy Keane, I really do but when I look at the other candidates not one name inspires me or makes me think it’s the right fit. Would far rather take a gamble on Keane and the risk that goes with it.

Tbf mate, it was a miracle we got in. You were 3-1 up against a team that hasn’t won in eight games and you bottled it so thanks for that. At least you’ll always have the ‘we sang the national anthem proper loud’ trophy to cling on to x
This Sunderland ‘top 6 miracle’ is such bollocks. You had a £40m player on loan all season. Turn it in

Hi guys,
A polite reminder that it wasn't the SAFC social media guy's decision to not sign Yann M'Vila on a permanent basis.
Shouting at the club's Twitter account with your keyboard will not rectify this.

Great how Denver Hume, aged 23 with nearly 70 first team appearances under his belt is shite and people will drive him to Portsmouth but it’s a shame we’ve let go Josh Hawkes, 23 in a few days who has only ever got regular games in League 2 and The National League.

In Saint, Lord, King Rafa's final season you finished 13th on 45 points.
In the last season under the worst manager in the world ever, Steve Bruce you finished 12th on 45 points.
But don't let the facts get in the way of the Geordie nayshun's tears.

1) We are in the third tier of English Football.
2) Parkinson has averaged just under 1.5ppg since his arrival last October.
3) We've won two games in nine.
4) He took us to 15th in League One last December.
5) You won't have seen us kick a ball throughout this.
Sunderland, just outside the play offs with a game in hand, sack Phil Parkinson.

On what planet is 'the top' where Newcastle deserve to be? Mental how being a good side for a few years in the mid 90's skews the perception of their history.
No, I’m not a Newcastle fan, but I can’t deny how happy I am for the fans out there who have suffered with Mike Ashley for all these years.
Hopefully this is the start of a new and healthy beginning, and will take a great club like Newcastle back to where they belong, the top.

I'm not saying bring back Roy Keane but January 2007 after nearly letting a lead slip but winning 4-2..."Any injuries Roy? Not yet."
November 2020 1-1 vs Fleetwood "When they kick down that bit of a slope there's always going to be that period where you're under pressure."
