I don't think Richard Desmond (owner of the Daily Express) understands how newspapers work.

What a fucking put down that is. Big Mike has just laid the Smackdown on the Daily Jabroni right there.

Why should they ignore it?
If a paper is printing clear lies about a club they should be called out for it.
They have and they look like cunts, especially as the Daily Star have came across as more professional.

Why give them the satisfaction of acknowledging it?

@blefuscu74 no signings, no director of football, no chief exec, no reserve team manager, no Europe, no cups, no nowt. Drift.

#Nufc are once again in first place in the race for 8th.
Christ if were banning journalists. Please, please. No mention of Sunderland's league position. Pathetic.

Saying that, sports journalism is absolute toilet in this country, so maybe if clubs did ban them for just outright making stuff up then everything might get a little bit better.

It's just a bit embarrassing how biased a lot of the journos are. (Bird, Caulkin and Douglas). Right up Sunderland's arse, and trying to undermine Newcastle at every opportunity. Seriously in Douglas' end of year review, he stated that Sunderland (20th at the time) were having a better season than Newcastle, he claimed Newcastle's season could be summed up in one word 'underachievement' before saying how marvelous Poyet is and blaming Di Canio for everything.
I can't stand them, I feel like they view themselves as rebels, but are really pandering to the lowest common denominator. Plus this absolute gem from Simon Bird (facking cunt);

@brianjnled a simple "thank you" to "the nationals" who bail Journal out with quotes every week would suffice Brian. Biting the hand etc.

Simon Bird is a cunt, though.

More of just writing what people want to read, rather than an honest impartial assessment and match report. Sunderland fans are backing Poyet and the team, so journalists aren't willing to criticise, Newcastle are unpopular so journalists are eager to criticise at any opportunity.
Number of negative tweets about Sunderland being beat at Arsenal - 0
Number of negative tweets about Newcastle winning against Aston Villa - 13
No negative tweets about Sunderland getting beat of Hull either.
Anyway, I know I have a go at the Newcastle crowd, but fair enough, there was no anti-Ashley/Pardew/Newcastle chanting today, and no excessive having a go at the players and Newcastle won the match. Villa fans bizarrely were chanting 'Lambert give us a wave' early on and 'you don't know what you're doing' late in the game. How bad can Joe Bennett possibly be? Incidentally it was Joe Bennett who didn't clear his lines for the goal...
Poe
And aye, if you think about it he's a Newcastle fan and wants the best for his team - just like anyone. And Sunderland are surely expected to get humped away to Arsenal?
Our performance today was flat, devoid of ideas and was won by a moment of individual inspiration. It deserved criticism.

As far as Newcastle are concerned, have you guys wrapped up the Remy deal yet, or is there an actual possibility that QPR get promoted and he lines up against you next season?

We really need someone who can take corners in the summer. Santon's deliveries were religiously poor and while Dummett's corner taking was better than I thought, we still need someone with accuracy. Though then again, the fact we went 2 whole years without a Premier League goal from a corner until Norwich turned up last November means nothings changed in that regard.
Poe
And no, I don't think we put a clause in the Remy deal so he'll most likely not be signing for us.
Which means we need to find a great striker this summer too due to the ineptitude of Ashley/Kinnear/whoever deals with transfers.
I worry for us next season.

Apparently this has been handed out for pushing the ref and swearing at him heavily for not sending off the Leicester captain. I'd say that and the incident when Paul Ince was found guilty of throwing a bottle at a fan and pushing over/threatening the 4th official after a game was way worse than the antics of Pardew at Hull, yet he'll probably get the "made example of" extended stadium ban.

It'll probably get more than this did: http://www.exeterexpressandecho.co.uk/Alan-Pardew-receive-punishment-Yates-heabutt/story-20738068-detail/story.html
I suppose its the fact I didn't watch it live that's made me think "really?!". I mean, I first heard about it on my phone about an hour after it happened, as I was at the cinema during the game. Seeing the BBC Sport site say "headbutt" made me think it was like Zidane at the 2006 World Cup Final, not the sort of nudge he gave after being pushed in the first place. I accept he should get a ban as it was a pretty dumb thing to do, not least in a football stadium full of cameras, but it feels more underwhelming.

Oh joy. More bad news.
