Played well but most of the time he was just ticking things over under little or no pressure. The whole team needs to shift 15 yards up the pitch and get beyond the ball and provide options to the bloke in possession. Too many men behind the ball, too conservative and a lack of options in the final third. He's not the problem but we need to change the approach.

Looked awful, generally does in most games imo but I keep hearing how he's solid enough defensively from a few people so I begin to doubt myself...and then I see him play dreadfully again and again. It's not a coincidence, he's just fucking bang average on his best day.

Genuinely hope he's bookmarked this thread and looks at it daily. Opens it to hopefully expecting to see someone, anyone, giving him a bit of praise or credit. Like a stupid, slow, fat, fucking pig wandering around wood in the hope of finding a truffle.

The hatred I have for this wanker is probably very irrational like. If he got hit by a train tomorrow afternoon I'd organise a fucking barbeque.

Two home games in a row up next. Need 6 points there.

The main worry is the fact Fulham have given the rest of the shite in this league the blueprint to stifling and beating us. We lack a cutting edge, we're slow and cautious in possession and can't defend set pieces. Sit back, soak it up and play a big lump up front, play for throws and corners and exploit our inability to defend them. The rest of the league have watched that and now know our weaknesses.

Wish this fucking spacker would just fuck off for good. Offers nothing, nothing at all in any area of the pitch at any time. Fucking piece of shit, hate him, absolutely fucking loathe the little cunt.

If he's going to insist on 4-2-3-1 then he's got to change the personnel. Playing 2 sitting midfielders like Hayden and that other cunt isn't going to win you games or get you promotion from this division. Got it wrong tonight and needs to adjust the system or the players he chooses for the roles imo.

Looks like he's watching his agent take a shit in his kettle. Fuck him.

Feeling strangely confident and optimistic so I'm giving it the beans. 10.

At the training session yesterday they did a crossing drill, pretty standard stuff I'd imagine, but Gamez and Perez delivering from the right with Dummet and Ritchie from the left.

If Benitez has seen something in him then fair enough, I'll be honest though, I've seen fuck all in him to justify signing him.

Gayle. Got a feeling he'll get an absolute hatful this season.

Bayern giving Inter an absolute horsing atm. 4-0 and only played 35 mins.

Nah, what's weird is claiming landmarks from other cities as your own. Do you get the Angel of the North too, and Gateshead's international athletics stadium? How far south does it go? Do you lay claim to Dobbie's Garden Centre at Birtley? F*ck it, I'm having Seaham Hall as Sunderland's 5* hotel Wondered when it would happen and what would cause it but never expected it to be Seaham Hall. It was always inevitable once we went down though.

Chuckling away to myself for ages before I realised he was on about the player rather than the poster. Fucking 'new' button.

That's all they want and the very best they've ever known. It's all relative.

The lemon is significant in the Paris riots of May 1968. YouTube Bye Bye Badman which is on the first album.

As much as I'd rather not say it, they'll be fine for the foreseeable. He's perfectly competent and will have them safe every year by March.

Good appointment unfortunately.

I live an area of Sunderland that rivals anywhere in the North East. Are you Scotch? The only ones that could even be considered is Cleadon or (clutching a bit) Ashbrooke?

Nah, the fucker will dust off his copy of Charlie Hughes' coaching manual and his percentage shite. Portugal and Greece have both won a major championship by grinding results out and it'll be the same for England. Might even work but it won't be pretty.

Absolutely lifting appointment if it happens. Probably worse than Taylor getting the job in 1990, at least Taylor had achieved a modicum of success before accepting it. This will set the national team back at least 15 years if land-whale gets it.

He'll be devastated.
