He doesn’t lack passion.
He’s calm. Unlike some of our knicker wetting, always catastrophising fans.
“Xhaka’s off”, “Brobbey’s out for the season” , “Xhaka is going to prison for 5 years”.
Just exhausting. I’m glad he doesn’t get caught up in their PTSD induced bullshit.

All this FFP and PSR stuff is getting boring. Strip away the mythical “cartel” nonsense and it’s simple, City and Newcastle fans want mega rich owners to spend what they like, hence Newcastle fans suddenly becoming City’s unofficial legal team.
United, Liverpool, and Arsenal weren’t handed their position by the Premier League. They spent generations winning trophies, building support, and growing revenues, just as Real Madrid and Barcelona did in Spain.
Do the rules need changing and ambitious clubs have room to grow? Absolutely yes, but rules also exist to stop clubs buying an advantage through inflated or disguised revenues.(City)
And cut the morality act.
Newcastle and Villa fans aren’t leading some great socialist revolution to save football, they want wealthy owners to spend their way to the top. They weren’t hamstrung by PSR for the previous 70 years or more, they were mostly just shite.
Argue for different rules by all means, but stop rewriting 70 years of history and dressing a billionaire’s chequebook up as Robin Hood fighting the cartel.

we're told this movement isn't racist, yet we're repeatedly presented with evidence of vile, racist abuse.
the fact that mps are willing to support and excuse this behaviour is sickening and shows how far the normalisation of racism has gone in this country.

If you can sit here as a fan, and this post winds you up. Then that should tell you everything you need to know about yourself.
It's clear and fucking obvious as to why we celebrate this.

Wonder whose side people will take, local football club icon Gary Bennett, or a temporary politician

I genuinely don't know why anyone is shocked that a Reform Council has withdrawn its support to fighting racism in football.
Why would a racist party support an anti racism initiative?

Football is part of Sunderland’s identity. It brings people together, gives young people role models and has a reach across our communities that few other institutions can match.
That is why the work of Show Racism the Red Card matters here. The charity was built around the power of football to challenge racism, and its work has reached thousands of people in #Sunderland.
Leadership is ultimately about responsibility — not only for the decisions that go well, but also for those that cause genuine concern.
The decision to withdraw support for @SRTRC_England has understandably prompted strong reactions. I believe the right response to such concerns is openness, humility and for the council to have a willingness to reconsider.
#Sunderland has a proud tradition of standing against racism. Whatever our politics, that is something worth protecting. If a decision has been mistaken, or offence has been caused, there should be no shame in acknowledging it and putting it right. Let’s have dialogue and conversation that leads to reconciliation and understanding- @ReformUkWear @GedGrebby

You heard that right.
Reform UK in Sunderland have pulled support for Show Racism the Red Card, calling them ‘a politically-charged organisation with an agenda’. That agenda is driving racism out of football.
Sunderland stands against racism, even if our Reform council doesn't.
