Why are you laughing at Boro's odds exactly?

What he is, is a class act.

St Hotch Potch Park is the one that makes me wonder. What does it even mean?

Only thing it says about Allardyce is the "conflict of interest" between him and his son. Sounds like fuck all to me.

The stuff it says there about us doesn't sound too bad, says NUFC cooperated fully apart from Souness and Mini-Shepherd. Those two can go straight in the slammer as far as I'm concerned.

It was fucking obvious Souness was on the take, I'd love to see him be someone's bitch in Durham prison. Allardyce on the other hand is bad news for us. No surprise at all for Kenneth Shepherd to be involved.

That was brilliant. "Kevin Kyle's scored but the flag's up, the sunderland fans all around me are going wild, they think they've scored! You haven't! Sit down!"

Didn't see most of the first half, seems that Carson was quality then but his goalkeeping for that second goal was shocking. Paul Robinson-esque, looked like he needed at least another week to get down to it.

and yet we still finished above you. Again. Yeah but we know our defence is shite, which sort of scuppers your argument really, doesn't it?

Yeah, I'd go along with that theory. That way if the decision goes Sheff U's way they can merely swap them and West Ham around, rather than redo all the fixtures. Not really as there'll be policing issues if Sheff Wed are at home on the same day. Wasn't that what Tom, and kingdawson, said? Didn't even read the first post in the thread or what Tom quoted actually. You tit. I'd agree that it's not a coincidence. Too unlikely.

England have had their chance and might well have blown it, they should have had a simple six points from these two games. Leroy Lite, honestly I despair. Absolute shite. His celebration should have had him hauled off, fucking arsehole.

Good post. We look like bitter Spurs fans or the way Boro fans are going on about Viduka when our fans come out with stuff like this. He's gone to Chelsea, good luck to him, let's move on.

That was absolutely appalling, not something I hope to see from him in black and white.

Didn't he say something a few weeks ago about wishing players played for football instead of money? Seem like a right dickhead, I'm afraid to say, not that we didn't know that already, but he's come to a new club looking for a fresh start and he can't even put pen to paper without kicking up a fuss out of greed.

Pretty shit that we've had to pay his fucking clause off, meaning his new club suffers. Least it's done.

19's Portsmouth.

I've got a man of the match tankard that was awarded to Kevin Scott. Another useless fact for you there.

Milner? Where's that come from? You've got more chance of signing Milburn, man. I like the way you think he's a possible "injection of pace" btw, the one thing he is not. Yakubu pulled in 15 goals but didn't score at all in the last 13 games, it'll be interesting to see how he does without Viduka, he's a good player though. Dong Gook Lee is absolutely fucking hopeless and Aliadiere has got a hell of a lot to prove in the Premiership. You've not got much in your midfield. Rochemback's up and down, Cattermole's dreadful, Boateng's on the slide, Morrison's out of favour, Johnson's unproven, Downing's good when on form but I don't think he had a great season last, Arca's been good for you though, obviously less said about Euell the better. Tuncay's a surprise signing though, a good free since you've put most of your eggs in the Woodgate basket, got to give credit to Southgate for that one, if he's as good as everyone seems to think he is, you should be ok. Like us, you left it late to pull yourself free of relegation but you've lost your best player, so he'll have to be, depending on who else you sign.

blueyes.gif First fixture I look for, not been let down yet.

Viduka returns to the Riverside almost immediately too, I've not been there for a couple of seasons, but think I will this time.

Away on Boxing Day again!
