David Icke - Son of God

Cabaye whipped a corner in with some pace in the first half and every fucker just stood there. I think they were in shock. Shame as it was begging to be attacked. I think Sissoko suffered from a lack of space in the middle. Still mighty impressive the amount of times he'd just run into a pile of Stoke bodies and emerge with the ball, but his passing was wayward.

Stoke's gameplan has always been to stifle the opposition and hope that something drops when they launch it up the pitch. The only way you can really open them up is if you score early and they're forced to chase the game. It was always going to be a much more difficult game than most anticipated.

The bloke in the Corner who, in a lull during the first half, shouted "Tony Pulis is a paedophile". I think it was the same bloke who squealed "WHAT A BALL!" when Debuchy over hit a cross and it landed at Santon's feet. He made me LOL.

Getting his own back after nearly being brained with a pizza box during the battle of Old Trafford.

I watched him walk off and he didn't like, at least not from where I sit.

I used to loathe him during his Hollywood tackle days pre-relegation, where he was adored despite being an absolute fucking liability. I love him now, like. Still not the greatest defender in the world but much more assured and reads the game better than he used to. Stevie Fistpumps

Dat front six

Bobbins according to my Mackem supporting mates. Absolutely nee pace, dire crosses etc.

Lost 4-1 but they won a half under Bally.

I saw a thread on RTG in which the first sentence of the first post said "Now Laudrup is off the table, who do you want to be our next manager?" Off the table? He's was never on the table you mad, mad cunts They're also obsessed with Martinez which is hilarious for two reasons - first of all he only gets his team playing for about three months every season, by which time he'd have been chased out of Sunderland for having them in the bottom three, and secondly he turned down Liverpool lasts summer. Poyet seems to be the second choice, which must be due to the fact he has a winning record against us.

I'm not usually one for arrogance, but I can't wait to play these. Sissoko and Cabaye will have an absolute field day with that non-entity of a midfield.

Literally everything brummie predicted is coming true. That man is a fucking sage.

JENAS!? http://www.reactiongifs.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/mj-laughing.gif

I'll be happy with any result here. I enjoy watching Sunderland lose but I'd absolutely love to see Arry take QPR down.

One for the 'happy clappers' and one for the 'doom mongers'?

Pardew Fuck tha h8rs!

It's almost as if he's actually injured. Bugger off with your common sense and your logic. He's clearly been shipped to Argentina by the club as part of a conspiracy where he feigns injury and they pay his £80,000 a week wages until the summer when he leaves for less than his market value. They need to get the Warren Commission looking at this, like.

Tell yer ma to close her legs Awful.

Two weeks later...

It's not the non-league man. I just seem to remember some of our games from the championship never being shown at all Trying to watch away games in the pub when we were in the Championship was an absolute pain in the cock. I remember watching the Watford match on what I assume was the Italian equivalent of Channel 5 where they had adverts (fucking adverts!) during the actual game.

Whey that's just daft. He deserves almost all the credit for Sissoko's performances. Granted he didn't come up with the idea of signing a defensive midfielder and using him in an attacking position but he's utilised Mo really, really well.

That sums it up really well. At 0-0 he wasn't desperate to get a goal and that is totally unacceptable given the circumstances. The only change he could've realistically made would've been Marveaux/Obertan for Jonas and even that would've been churlish considering how well Jonas and Debuchy linked up in the second half. We had no other game changers on the bench. Yet Luke Moore has changed the game for them by shuffling the pack and sending Michu back to run midfield. Last season against Man City, Mancini took a striker off for De Jong to release Toure, who scored within five minutes. You don't always need a "game-changer" if you think about it enough. Pardew is embarrassingly poor at doing this because he's a tactical dud. Sometimes as a manager you have to do stuff to change the game that goes beyond hoying Shola on. That is all he knows. You talk an obscene amount of shite Wullie Luke Moore did absolutely nothing when he came on other than stand prone and swing a leg at the ball while our defense disintegrated around him. I like Laudrup, but it was not a tactical masterstroke by any stretch of the imagination. Michu did little when either up front or in midfield today. It's pretty clear there are a small number of people on here that will not accept that we can get dealt a bad hand and Pardew can't be held accountable for it. He's damned if he does, damned if he doesn't. I never said Luke Moore did anything (other than score the winning goal), I said Laudrup shuffled the pack by bringing him on. You obviously think a manager can only change the game by bringing on some sort of super-sub. Damned if he does, damned if he doesn't. We're 15th ffs. Most teams in the league would have beaten Swansea today, they were appalling, very much "after the Lord Mayor's show" and yet they still won. Not at all, however when you're playing the best football of the game and are looking good value for a goal I don't believe that you really need to "shuffle the pack". You talk about Pardew being a reactive manager however I struggle to think of any managers who'd have made the changes you were so clearly crying out for in the same position. The old adage if it ain't broke don't fix it comes to mind here. Laudrup's changes were reactive because we'd taken the game by the scruff of the neck, however by your logic he should've played his hand on the 17th minute when they were all over us. I also think it's pretty apparent what I meant by damned if he does, damned if he doesn't. Had he made s substitution and the result been the same you'd have been on here tearing strips off him for making changes when we were in the ascendancy. I've gave the man jip this season when he has got it wrong, I was on here practically calling for him to be hung drawn and quartered after the Reading game, but he did everything right today and he's still seen as public enemy number one by some of our support. It's absolutely mental stuff. How can he have done everything right and lost that game? Swansea had clearly been on the piss all week and would have been beaten by most other sides in the league. I don't know how you came to that conclusion considering they took the piss out of us for the first half hour.

That sums it up really well. At 0-0 he wasn't desperate to get a goal and that is totally unacceptable given the circumstances. The only change he could've realistically made would've been Marveaux/Obertan for Jonas and even that would've been churlish considering how well Jonas and Debuchy linked up in the second half.

Most teams in the league would have beaten Swansea today, they were appalling, very much "after the Lord Mayor's show" and yet they still won. Anyone would have scored that goal against that comical defending. That's why he was laughing his arse of for scoring his 2nd goal after more than a year. Taylor's tackle was absolutely fucking sublime. Moore must've though all his Christmas' had came at once when he dove in and missed by a good three feet
