There was a lad in Westerhope ASDA today with the new Sunderland top on. I didn't threaten him or take the piss, in fact we just went about our business.

That, to me, is different to saying " we plan on doing this" which to me sounds like "sell the crown jewels to reinvest" whereas what he said was more "if the right bid comes in then that's the way it goes".

Did he say its what we plan to do or something we may do ?

I thought the past tense might've been because he's now 58 and probably hasn't competed in over 20yrs.

He's now "lost his faith" fwiw.

I'm not sure he was in that way. More so in the "I'd love us to sign Isak" way than the "Daily Shite is saying we're after Isak" type way.

Get your eyes checked.

We were in Kardemena (I've told the story before in here), what a couple of nights.

Is Hall a LB then ? Says himself he's played more in midfield, wing back and left of 3 at the back and he's having tll9 learn the position.

Or he's going back to prison.

Permanent though, not loans.

Based on Mitchell working with him in the past and currently being unemplyed. 2+2= Hedgehog.

Basically like we have done the last 2yrs ?

The successful applicant will have to use the necessary buzzwords in their interview as well. Experience not essential.

When do we take the "opener" out of the thread title ?

Anyone else read that and just hear a middle managers voice who nobody would actually realise if they came into work and didn't actually do anything ?

It's Douglas.

Remember Eddie Howe on Harvey Barnes when on tour in the States ?

The first quote is every manager at every club. The second is as I said earlier, someone new comes in, is he supposed to say "I've never met him before but we all sing together" ? Was the questioning the same when Ashworth came ? No. Why ? Because there was no "England job" in the equation.

I had the idea of Panini sticker cards for adults. Porn stills consisting of maybe 20 stickers to make the one scene.

I don't think he did, the fact that he's a media front runner for the England job has done that so each question is looked at through that lens.

A new sporting director has just come in and Eddie isn't going to bullshit with "yeah we're all 100% on the same page" when everyone knows theyve barely met. Eddie is caged with the media, he doesn't play games through the media, hes a master of saying stuff to the media that sounds meaningful but is actually fluff to fulfill media requirements.

I can't imagine it being any different last season if he'd been asked "do you still think you'll be here at the start of the season? " his answer would have been a similarly caged never say never type thing but I'll stay while I'm happy......just now people are asking the question and looking for every blink and pause to mean something.

Re Argentina and their racism shenanigans. It's surprising cos they're not exactly Aryan are they ?

Exeffingzactly !
