No doubt we'll get the old speil about not "Allowing ourselves to be held to ransom" even though it's entirely by our own making that we've put ourselves in a position where we can be quite easily held to ransom and any club run by someone whose brains are not in their moobs will quite rightly do so.

http://www.mcfc.co.uk/News/Club-news/2011/August/~/media/Images/Home/News/Players/2011-2012/Samir%20Nasri/fifa12_samir_nasri_large.ashx?h=281&w=500&as=1 What the fuck is supposed to be going on here anyway? What's Rooney doing back there? Who the fuck is that and why's he standing with his back to Nasri casually watching him score a goal over his shoulder?

That's always my main concern when losing an important player. Barton and Enrique so far It's no longer a concern for me, I stopped worrying "Will we replace them with someone as good or better" a long time ago.

So Nasri moved to City because of the atmosphere, funny he didn't go to a club that can actually fill their ground.

Pony up the fucking money. They know we're desperate, they know we've got cash from out going transfers, a situation which you have engineered yourself you thick fat fuck. So chalk it up to experience and put you hand in your pocket.

There's no place for that at this club. Drive, ambition, pride, it leads to people standing up to Ashley and that's why it's crushed at every opportunity. Hughton was chosen because he was a humble guy who did what he was told, but through the law of unintended consequences he was a nice enough chap that he created a united dressing room where people would stand up for one another. That was too much power for Ashley's employees to have, so out the door he went.

3rd choice goalkeeper.

Can't help remembering that last time I laughed at them getting knocked out a cup we then went and got beat by Stevenage so I'm holding back for now

Brighton were shit, we were by far the better team, they played hoofball, we'll still finish above them etc etc.

Oh my, that would be absolutely fantastic! This. Please please please please please be true. Gerraway man

By the laws of the game if a player already has a yellow he can't then get a straight red, it has to be yellow followed by red. Regardless of the infringement. lolwhatno

All I remember him doing is getting disposessed 3 times in about 5 minutes.

Or, you know, not having his team of cloggers give away 17 free kicks.

Sick of hearing about "poor Arsenal" or "belegered Arsenal." Yeah, those long suffering Arsenal fans, must be hell for them. Also see Liverpool last season.

A bit like saying "This is the funniest episode of Miranda I've ever seen." But a fair enough analysis all the same.

Don't mind as long as they don't ream us.

Expect that moment to feature on thus season's "I wuz theyr" advert.

They've got a thread about it, as if it shows that the only reason they've beaten us once in the last decade is MAG REFS! Why is Mag their favoured word for us by the way? They use it more than we do to refer to ourselves, I quite like it as a nickname. Guess when you talk about a team as much as those lot it makes sense to use as short a name as possible.

Who do we want to win? Do we want to avoid Norwich or chase Stoke?

Wasn't the elbow from Raylor about waist height? Was a comment on my FB status. First reply from another mag "Northeast Brawler Champions 2011 - eat it you yorkshire fake cockney fuck."

It's basically what gives us the upper hand even in times of crisis. "Cannit wait man, we're gonna batter them, hope it's 4 or 5 nil, fancy such and such for a hat trick, we're going got Europe, they're a yo-yo team" Then five minutes into the game "Shit, why haven't we scored? They've had a shot! Why aren't we all over them? How come there are two teams in the game? Fuck, what if we don't win? FUCKS SAKE CLEAR IT SHOOT TACKLE HIM BOO! What if we lose, PANIC PANIC BRUCE MAN WHAT ARE YOU DOING WHY DID HE MISS THAT SHOT, IS HE A MAG?! IT'S BECAUSE BRUCE IS A MAG! FUCK OFF STEWARD ARE YOU A FUCKING MAG? BET ALL THESE COPPERS ARE MAGS, AND THE MEDIA! THE REF'S A FUCKING MAG! AM I A MAG?! Wait, blacked out for a second there. Ah, fuck, we've lost again."

I'd be amazed I'd such rumours didn't exist considering what Moyes has been saying. Consider it pretty unlikely mind.

Just got this from a Spurs fan: I've just watched the highlights and winning that game is nowt to be proud of. It looked to me like 22 cloggers in a shit kicking contest! How there was only 1 red is beyond me. Not including Larsson's goal keeping. Cabaye and Cattermole should have walked and if Ryan Taylor had caught Gyan with the elbow he swung he'd have gone as well.

After we beat them 4-1 they were lining up to give us "2-1" gestures

Love the fact their board is named after 'their song'. We've got a 19th century Geordie folk song in local dialect and in having a non-football song we're part of a select group of teams like West Ham and Liverpool. Sunderland choose their song from something like this http://www.capitalcateringsupplies.co.uk/Now_36_cd.jpg
