Wow Gaitan Theatrical.

We're looking good. Decent forechecking from Moose, Marv is playing the PG role like he lives in Orlando and Simpson thinks he's Kaepernick. Forechecking f***ing hell. How was Cisses homerun? Got the slider off the sweet spot, sent it over the short porch. Only guy able to do that. Legend. Hall of Fame next. Roc Nation signing him up next.

How are we? I'm on the train now on my way home from the airport. How are we getting along? Send me a pm anyone who has the power to help a fellow supporter out with some kind of analysis. And let it not be Semtex or Mike.

Right. And education gives us knowledge. My education has taught me a lot about fascism and how fascism and racism isn't inherently linked together. I do understand what you are trying to tell me, I just don't agree whatsoever with your position in this matter. If Di Canio hasn't dropped a player or sold him or treated him differently because of his race I don't see why it would matter if he was a racist. If he can keep his views to himself and manage Sunderland in a professional manner I don't see why he should be lynched. After all he's free to think whatever he wants as long as he does his job in a professional way and keeps his views to himself.

Are you kidding me? I've questioned his real beliefs and whether it's just not an image he tries to put on. Because if he was what you are trying to make out he was and it interefered with his job he wouldn't have 5 black players he managed at Swindon playing for him regularly. I posted couple of questions, you didn't manage to answer one of them, enough man. You are trying to tell me that it's an assumption that his views hasn't interfered with his job even after I don't know how many years in professional football without getting into trouble associated with fascism except for the salutes. Get lost.

You'd leave Sissoko out for Perch then? Worst shit I've seen. That's even worse than the average Pardew thinking. Fuck me. -
This really.

Dortmund vs City in the group stage.... in fact Dortmund regularly, they always do this that is their main problem they play great stuff but they miss double digits worth of chances all the time. Didn't see that game, was it as bad?
-
Malaga is oging to win this, I haven't seen a team miss this many chances.
-
Too late. Fecking dortmund can't score...
-
How is that even possible...
-
Be lovely if he got some sort os suspension or some sort of action taken against him. Fucking knobhead. I love his nothing worth knowing can be taught, well that's probably cause no one can teach you shit thug. Back to the cell man, break is over.
-
Real -1 + Dortmund = 3.1 times the money or something. Definitely worth a tenner.
-
I keep thinking what values they gave him. Either way he has abandoned them if his press conference is anything to go by

While I can hardly deny you're better than us, it should be said we were missing quite literally an entire team for the first game, and still a fuckload of players for the 2nd. Think it'd be a close game nowadays. What's in my opinion easily underestimated is how the bug clubs from smaller competitions like Portugal or Holland can concentrate on their European campaign and still remain competitive domestically. In the bigger leagues, you can hardly afford to play less than at full strength, so these squads play many more high level games. To say a team like Benfica or Ajax would automatically be a top 5 side in the Premiership by virtue of their domestic dominance (even that is questionable in all honesty in both cases mentioned) or their results in Europe is a bit naive really. So, if we can win to arsenal, liverpool, and draw in old trafford, do you think we couldnt beat teams like west broom, swansea etc... lol ?? I cant say we could win regulary against united, city, etc... but against the other small clubs ?? I dont agree with you in that point... I think I've made my point clear. I'm from Holland, and I know first hand a team like Ajax can beat Man City in a single match, or maybe even in a knockout situation in Europe, but they would never be able to seriously compete with them in the Premiership because they wouldn't be able to rest players, or play at 50% in the second half the weekend before because they're already 3-0 up at half time against some no mark Eredivisie team. It's just not the same thing. But seeing as you seem so extremely convinced you would easily compete for the top 4 in the Premiership, you must be all but certain that you will beat Newcastle in this upcoming tie. We are just a lower table Premiership side after all..? just one point: Dont compare top portuguese teams with top dutch teams. Porto and Benfica are much better than ajax or psv, sorry. Rightio.. I also notice you have conveniently ignored my question about how confident you are about beating NUFC? Can I take it you don't want to go on record as saying you are as supremely confident as your arrogant behaviour suggests? I actually believe you are wrong. Benfica would definitely be a top 6 side in our league. I'd rank them above us and Liverpool at the moment. And fwiw, definitely don't compare dutch teams to portuguese teams as the portuguese league is far superior than the dutch league at the moment. I don't care how much you want to turn and twist, Benfica is a better team than Ajax and would definitely compete for a top 4 spot in our league. I'm not saying htey'd be a top 4 team, but they'd definitely be among the top 6 teams based on quality. This is however irrelevant to our game as exactly like you said any team can beat any team in a knockout situation, yet you wnt him to go on record saying that they will definitely beat us? pathetic. I fail to see how you can say Benfica would definitely be a top 6 side in our league if you are willing to concede that results in a knockout competition are not very representative of a team's strength. They've not even been a dominant force in their own league over the last decade. What I do know is Benfica's team looks good on paper, certainly, and they appear to be doing well this season (can't say I follow the Portuguese league intensively however). I respect them as a very tough challenge for NUFC to overcome, possibly too strong. But I really fail to see what Pardew has said that is so condescending about Benfica being able to challenge in the top 8/10 of the Premiership, if indeed he said it at all. I haven't read upon what Pardew said earlier. I say that because Benfica has been playing very good football, have very good players and have been playing well in Europe all season. They were really unlucky to go out in the group stages as they drew a first game to Celtic and then lost to Barcelona and Spartak Moscow in a freezing stadium. Saying they'd definitely be a top 6 team might be an exageration as they might get massive injuries. But Benfica is a huge club historically, and have a good youth system and good scouting network. Had they been in the PL they'd had the money to keep hold of many players tbf. What I mean is that I definitely believe them from what I've seen to be a better team than us and Liverpool hence the top six. Everything could happen though and you don't know how they'd perform at Stoke on a cold monday night. It's all irrelevant though I just find the portuguese league superior to the dutch
