Hoped at least one of VdV, Bale or Modric picked up a red against Man U, but no, the miserable c**ts let me down. Can see us getting a thumping.

I've defended all three of the ones you picked out, but then I'm not one to get on a players back and instead place a bit of faith in their employers who see them more than a couple of hours a week. As it is those 'black sheep' have all played a part this season, just support them as long as they are here. Simples. /That doesn't mean I don't call them ballbags when they fuck up mid/post game mind.

Ca't see that much to laugh about. Good deal for both clubs I reckon.

I think Redknapps media lickspittles are just speculating that a ridiculous ofer of £40m would be almost impossible to turn down despite being told that he's simply not for sale. There is no chance that we're asking for £40m, or putting any sort of price on his head imho. Not a chance.

Come on lads, get 'em while they're hot! http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/mens-sunderland-10-11-home-shirt-small-large-geordie-sizes-available-9-very/852575

Immense today. Fucking immense. Love the bloke.

It would go down as a massive achievement for Hughton if we did I guess Souness gets the credit for that season then. Narr, Shearer should get a hell of a lot of credit for our promotion mind.

Two words: Sebastien Bassong. 1 word: Relegation That, plus a few more words: (ala Duff, Beye, Martins et al) Didn't want to stay. Good riddence.

Ah come on. The Enrique twitter thing was funny, and another one today - Pardew says Harper pushed by fan but plays it down. "Shouldn’t happen ... but nothing malicious in it. Don’t want to harp on about it."

Pardew if a funny fecker sometimes.

No. I don't want to see any of our better players sold, but he is one of the few who I really can't understand being associated with any of these figures; let the board worry about shit like that. I just care about who turns out in the shirt for us, and the ones who I'm proud of, I want to keep. £10m, £30m, £50m, who gives a toss. He is a player who could help the club get somewhere, a local lad, and a future England international. Why would anyone want to give that up? /Let alone adding to the feeling of the inevitability of his sale by continualy speculating in fkn threads like these.

It will. It fkn shouldn't. Depends on the manner of defeat. As usual. Whey, true. With the players we have out, I'm far from confident we'll get any kind of result. But if we go out there laying down and asking to be bummed, then I'll be as angry as anyone obviously.

Tiote's high energy and drive should have given the attackers more freedom. Pardew wanted to progress, so took the gamble. At the time I was wary, but if it had paid off, who knows. As soon as he was sent off though, and there is a degree of hindsight here, it ended up an absolutely dreadful decision. Can't see us wining against the scum without Tiote in the team. stupid gamble to take given that he walked off the pitch with a tight hamstring a few days earlier, chasing a league game maybe, not a cup game though. it's hardly a priority. That's the thing though, Pardew seemed determined to go somewhere in the cup and make his mark. If the gamble worked, great, but it was probably a gamble that shouldn't have been made. As I said, I wasn't happy with bringing him on at the time.

It will. It fkn shouldn't.

I am quite surprised by that because Harper is not azz licker like STaylor or some others ..... I son't care as long as he is doing something good. Are Simpson and Jose azz lickers?

How's Bafra's relationship with Benzema? Come on son, put a good word in for us, t'would be immense.

Not a chance we'll beat them. Sorry. http://stevebalsamofan.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/default/fingers%20crossed.gif

Not sure it's an absolute, but it's certainly a trait I admire.

I don't think Pardew was attempting to use an excuse like that or came across like that in the slightest. Ridiculous thing to say.

Agree that it's not a particularly big deal (unless it does affect the players adversely in the long run), certainly the stuff about Jose's twittering. But how Hughton came accross in interviews was a breath of fresh air for me when he first took over, and is the only concrete thing so far that I miss.

It's just him being more mouthy that's annoying so far. Might get used to it if by some chance it gets as good or better a reaction as Hughton did from the players.

Great to see the club keeping hold of him. Hope we get to see more of him soon.

I agree that we done the right thing avoiding this disaster, but what makes you think what's been written is true? I can believe it (though it may be slightly exagerated). It certainly fits in with Pards quote about how new players should not expect to just walk into the team.
