@RokerReport I recall at the time there was a trialist striker called Chima Okorie (ended up at Grimsby I think) and a winger called Diallo (long before the upgraded Amad version arrived).

Bonus point if anyone can name this trialist...

Just for fun... two players that almost signed for Sunderland in the 90s but, for various reasons, didn't! Can anyone name them? #SAFC

@ColeFusionHQ Not one of mine but heard somewhere of a guy who had one leg longer then the other so his bobbed from side to side when he walked. He was called ‘the sniper’s nightmare’

British nicknames are an unregulated industry. a 5'6 tradesman called Anthony is professionally known as Shetland Tony. a man who lost an eye is called Keth. a quiet man wore a yellow jumper once and became Mumblebee. what's the best nickname you've ever heard

@TheNewWorldmag @jamesrbuk He’s transactional. He’ll be expecting something in return from those that have profited.

The president is probably not directly part of insider trading - but those close to him could well be ✏️ @jamesrbuk thenewworld.co.uk/james-ball-the…

Sunderland have won just four of their last 24 Premier League matches played on Sundays, with all four wins coming against Newcastle; they're now winless in 19 Sunday games against all other opponents.

@EastMidRailway so what do you suggest we do in the circumstances? We’re on a fixed train but you can’t guarantee seats.

@Jonstaward Good evening Jon, unfortunately we are unable to reserve seats for you this weekend, this is due to the east coast mainline closure for engineering works. Our apologies for this. ^DJ

@EastMidRailway Hi. Just noticed that my booking for tomorrow from StP to N’ham only had seats reserved on the outbound leg. How can I reserve seats as one of our part my won’t be able to stand for the length of the journey. Thanks.

@paddypower @DinaldAndy Absolute state of this lot….

@DinaldAndy It literally did m8

Newcastle's downfall can be traced to the moment those fans were filmed singing: "We’ve got Christian Ronaldo cleaning the boots, cause we’re the richest club in the world."

@therealmissjo …and by choosing to take this action in the public domain, she’s made herself a ‘rejection’ for pretty much any job she applies for.

Imagine being Shelby Caughman. A 35 year old ecologist who was not invited to an office party and so sued her company. Not only had she requested not to be invited to events, she was on long term sick leave for agoraphobia, ADHD and autism and only returned to the office to resign. What a waste of the court’s time and resources. Needless to say, she lost the case.

@phveektordrayne most prof. sectors have conflict policies that should be communicated clearly. I sympathise if that wasn’t the case here, and the married bit makes no sense at all; cohabiliting? siblings? same potential or perceived conflicts could exist.

My colleague got called into HR today. Not for misconduct. Not for performance. For getting married. He works in engineering. His fiancée works in administration. They met at work, dated quietly for years, and finally decided to make it official. HR told him something neither of them saw coming. “Once you’re married, one of you has to resign. Company policy. We don’t keep married couples.” Just like that. They said they’d prefer he stays, his role is “more critical.” Meaning his fiancée, who struggled for months after graduation to land this job, is the one expected to go. She hasn’t even started wedding plans yet. Now she’s updating her CV. Imagine planning a life together, and your first joint decision as a couple is: Who sacrifices their career? He sat at his desk after the meeting, staring at his screen for almost an hour. Didn’t write a single line of code. Some colleagues say, “That’s policy. Nothing personal.” Others say it’s unfair and outdated. I keep wondering… If a company can decide a marriage costs someone their job, what exactly are we building careers for? Is this professionalism… or control?

Any ideas how to get a response from #SAFC to get a password reset so can dish out Leeds tickets? No reset emails arrived in inbox or spam and ticket office not open until 11am 2moro.

@SunderlandAFC trying to reset ticketing account password to distribute tickets for Leeds, but no reset code is coming through (inbox or spam). Can you advise please?

@afneil Sycophantic toadying. What would you expect from Infantino?

God they’ve now invented a FIFA peace prize. What have we done to deserve this?

@SAFCCR Think it was as much scouting the situation with Getafe as it was scouting the player. A bargain for a CB who looks completely unfazed by the PL.

@LNER I’m on the re-routed LKX-ADN service. Was no consideration given to a set down in Sunderland for the Bournemouth football fans heading there given it’s going through that station?

@SAFC_BreakWear @SunderlandAFC @SAFCsource I think Le Bris likes the physicality he adds up top. Isidor isn’t the strongest and if it’s Talbi and Le Fee either side then that’s a 3 that are missing some muscle. If Brobbey was in, then I’d imagine Talbi would be more likely to start.

RLB's starting XI for Craven Cottage! 🖤 #FULSUN

@LNER any chance of a response to this?

@LNER Thanks for the new car park ticket machines at Newark. Not only does it slow everyone down by only allowing receipts via QR code or email, but the URL provided is blocked by my company system. I’m guessing I won’t be the only one…. How do I get a receipt?

@santanderukhelp I’ve tried 3 times this week to speak to your motor finance division to arrange collection of my car at the end of its PCP. Each time on hold for 20 mins+ before giving up. I’d like someone to contact me so I don’t continue wasting my time. Thanks.

@Finnair trying to check in and both website and app get stuck. Please advise.

Hi @HKeshmirshekan I came into possession of this painting by ‘Massoud’ which originated in Tehran. Can you tell me anything about it? Happy to make a charity donation for your time. Thank you, Jon.
