He'll score more than our forwards will and in arguably a worse team. #Fuming

Seriously. If Ashley was really out to troll the fans he'd have Shola's contract wrapped up through 2019.

Already assuming the role of forgotten man.

All about Santa and booze tbh. Fuck the religious side, apart from the times at school when they forced your into carols and shit who really does it? It's still a religious holiday though, innit? Or at least it has been since those mad Christian cunts hijacked our lovely pagan festival. Quite a few people celebrate Christmas while railing against religion. Rather hypocritical by the standards we've set for Cisse. I bet few of those who celebrate Christmas aren't as keen as giving shit up for Lent either. And since an all in or all out policy for Cisse and his religion has been adopted by some on here it's only fair anyone criticising him either stop celebrating Christmas (no holidays, no presents, no watching The Snowman) or, alternatively, throw themselves into Christianity. All of it. Even the shit bits. hahahahahahahahahahahaha no. 1. Christmas isn't even christian in origin - it's a borrowed holiday. 2. Compared to gambling/lending/drinking, it's not a specifically condoned or prohibited act. It's not mentioned in the bible at all, except I think a passing reference to the (pre-borrowed) heathen practice of decorating trees for a festival. There's no similarity here. None. Give it up.

Those fingers are fucking interlocking jesus christ

To be fair it was reported almost from day one that we'd have a problem with the Muslim players over this. Cisse was consistently mentioned. Best I could find on google (from 1/9/2012 to 1/6/2013) was a few articles from the start by local clerics/imams about it, usual daily mail troublemaking although I think there was a telegraph article in there too. Nothing actually from the players themselves. And then radio silence. I reserve the right to be disappointed in him for leaving it to the 11th hour to start this.

Yeah but do you really expect he had no idea they would be on the shirt? Come on.

I'm curious as to why all of this is kicking off only just now when Wonga was announced in September of last year.

So ... who gets to decide what's minor? Why isn't lending as minor as gambling? I haven't been following this that closely tbh, so in the grand tradition of online forums I'd like to offer my uninformed opinion: he's looking for a way out and is using a selective application of his religion - thinking (mostly correctly, I might add) that faith-based-justification is currently a politically and socially unassailable reason for anything - to get it.

Should probably let him know that everyone picks and chooses anyway so, really, it's ok, and ergo, concordantly, there is no such thing as a hypocrite because you can make up whatever rules you want to follow in a religion and say you're of that religion and best of all everyone has to respect it!

Four years you've been banging that drum. Hooper's better than any of the striker's we've been linked with. I'm banging the drum because I'm right ;-)

Aren't you a Sunderland fan now? http://i.imgur.com/VmLFWKP.gif

Our DoF has two assistants, fwiw. http://24.media.tumblr.com/a8f51fb42a5838e3a7f77fa043d90ccf/tumblr_mm8u8d6cCl1qz8x31o1_400.gif edit: I feel like this is way more dickish than I wanted it to be. Nah. You're responding to a guy whose idea of low points was going 2 years without a trophy "right there with you toon army *taps fist to heart twice* solidarity in suffering."

Mick Harford will probably be the manager. http://i.imgur.com/XVqjiTC.png

Man City in a month's time. This will be epic.

still a little tired from the europa league probably

yeah?

Very sensible return indeed. 1 in 3. Not so many that he appears arrogant but not so few as to be deemed worthless. Quite acceptable.

still 'ing at that fucking anelka gif :lol:

If it's not in bold he ain't sold.

holy fucking shit, does anyone really think someone took a look at wayne rooney and decided the best thing for him would be to bulk up? Or do you think they told him to hit the gym to work on his endurance/fitness levels? and another shocker: some people actually walk out of a gym weighing less than when they went in. strength is not 100% correlated with muscle mass anyway, give it up.

I think I've said that before too. My feeling is that there is only so much frustration with him one can take before the excess starts overflowing into the anger category.

Shit did I just describe the Ancelotti system then? I thought the Ancelotti system was a diamond with 2 out-and-out strikers. He mixes it up tactically but he favors the 4-3-2-1, used often at Milan, Chelsea and PSG. zonalmarking has some good writeups on it.
