Bluesquare have us, the mackems and Fulham on the same odds to win the league. We're above Blackburn, Bolton, West Ham, Stoke, Wigan, WBA, Wolves and Blackpool.
It's right it's held in high regard because it's traditionally given to our best centre forward and we've had some absolute crackers of those. But it shouldn't be held back just because we're not doing well enough to have a world class centre forward to take it on.
Yeah, he took it really well. Could have lost his head when Gazza turned up with a fishing rod and the nets turned into five-a-side ones, but he kept his cool.
Their tactic seems to be to be unapologetic about being a selling club, meaning they can have a punt on promising your players like Moses because their agents know that DW won't stand in their way if anyone decent comes after them, and the net gain on transfers keeps the money ticking over. Of course it's a risky business because the players ahve to realise their potential, do well enough to keep them up and gain enough interest to keep the cash coming in (What happened to all this stuff about N'Zgobia going to Arsenal for £11m?)
Had a dream last night he scored an equaliser at Old Trafford to make it 1-1. Happy for the lad, he's no world beater but at least he's improving - which is a novelty for a club whose players are usually in a state of twilight years, career nosedive or stagnating unrealised potential. Guess it's a rare positive in our collapse that we're actually being forced to develop players and increase their value for a change.

Would be good if true, Rooney fucking loves scoring against us. Could always be those "mind games" though, he always seemed to play his strongest side against us after that 5-0 no matter how shit we were.

Sunderland manager Steve Bruce says he is holding talks with Sol Campbell over a possible deal for the defender.
I presume there's no copyright problems with player names any more? Just remember playstation games having players like Des Fardinand and Chris Sotton.
Does anyone give the slightest, tiniest fuck about the third place play-off? Even stat dullards like Motson only ever seem to say a team got as far as the semis in x year, or their best world cup was when they reached the semis, rather than saying they placed third.
