One side or the other will have to prove that the contract has been broken by the other side. It'll be messy if it goes all the way but I think they'll settle out of court, as the article suggests.

Exactly this.

Carved apart. Excellent passing and movement off the ball.

True but is there anything left to spend for the new bloke? Keane spent loads of money in the last 18 months or so.

Good news: the club's in turmoil, lost 6 of the last 7, no manager, Man U away at the weekend. Bad news: they might get someone good.

Curbishley wouldn't surprise me either tbh.

Ex Sunderland player. Available immediately. No compensation to pay out to get him. He's looking for a job....

Allardyce. Nailed on.

Only a matter of time now...

Us? I think he means because they knocked us out. Ah right.

Us?

You've always got a chance when Dawson plays. Awful defending from Jenas too btw.

*hopes JJC sees this*

Horses for courses. Playing Stoke at home should be a case of us lining up with the intention of causing them problems from the first whistle. Hope Kinnear isn't going to be too cautious. Fucking go for them.

This obsession with Delap's long throw is starting to annoy me. Pretty much everyone I talk to is shitting themselves about how we're going to deal with it.

He could have been a canny player for us. He wasn't. The end.

Credit where it's due, that's a sensible piece. It outlines their aims and is far less aggressive than some of the shite they came out with a month or two back. Dimplomacy > Boycotts & protests

Really... 4,000 ? Bloody hell. Capacity 45362 Attendance 41169. I know attendances are down everywhere but some teams tend to escape flak and others get panned for it. Let's see if it's even mentioned eh?

Over 3000 empty seats too.... They'll have an excuse though obviously. EDIT: make that over 4000. It's late.

So Scolari can say the ref was biased and he escapes a charge......Kinnear says a ref was Mickey Mouse and gets charged. How does that work then?

Out for 3 weeks aint he? He's not playing so yes.... Completely missed that.

Scousers 0-0 Wist 'Am. HT Could do with Torres banging one in to keep them within a game of us.

An added aspect of the decision will be Owen's contract situation. If Kinnear holds out any hope of Owen re-signing then he's going to do everything possible to keep him sweet. If he's fit, he'll play him imo.

3-1 win. Owen and Viduka 2
