Fucking hell, what's getting into people recently ? Is it the sun or no signings ?

Football ?

No idea who they are but if they are new age "red wall tories" then they aren't tories as much as virulently anti-labour, in the way an ex lover can plumb the depths of hate when spurned.

And mine.

Just leave it altogether then ? I'd say its just as critical if you get the right player. Look at RB in our set up.

Is there a date for this yet ?

I'll watch as it's part of a bet (handicap, France handicapped and Wales).

Has any of this anything to do with us possibly pursuing Barella ? Look, I know we are getting antsy with not hearing anything yet but fuck me the last couple of days have lead to some tedious exchanges on here........ and that's coming from me FFS.

You know you're going to sign him now don't you ? It's the way the football God's work. Had Grealish kept his gob shut, Miggy has another hard working but no end result season.

You'll find they've been starting next to him

Offset by seemingly fantastic coaching and the hit rate of their youth products going on to make it at a high level even elsewhere. I'd love to know what our standing is like in the game now for development.

Slightly mitigated by having Stewart back (is he staying ?). Or at least having the summer to get a forward sorted.

Is it only exciting because of his surname ?

I was at the last Sunderland friendlies, 1981 I think, home and away over 4 days....... who thought that was a good idea, fuck me, Roker Sea front was like an Andy Capp fight, a moving cloud of dust with limbs sticking out. Edit.... just checked and aye it was 81 and crowds of just under 10,000 and just over 10,000.

Yeah, I'd take nothing from those friendlies as a guide to the league games but I do like friendlies against teams you don't normally come up against.

Wouldn't be surprised if there was, but one a quieter behind closed doors affair.

Just looking at the pre season line up of games and there's some gap the between Brighton game and the start of the season, a whole weekend in fact. I wouldn't be surprised if there's another game in there, quite possibly a home game like last season.

Got to say for all it was only about 12hrs in Milan centre I wasn't overly impressed. Certainly not somewhere I'd dream of living.

It's the law now I think

When do sky etc announce their games ? I'm struggling for 4 homes before Christmas.

Never feel too strongly ? Is that since your ban

Look back a page or 2. Someone has nicely posted them all. Away after 4.

So we come off worst........ never !

Looking a bit deeper that's a fantastic run in to the end of the season. Both Liverpool and Man City out of the way before the end of January.
