Does our crowd ever get behind us before we actually manage to score? Also, these 'tactics' are for away games at places like ManUre. Does Allardyce know we're playing at home?

Why do 'modern' managers hate 4-4-2?

We. Need. A. Creative. Midfielder.

Viduka's been fucked enough times now by their CBs and this is getting ridiculous. Shearer would've kicked one in the face by now, and gotten away with it too.

Go on Smithie!

Their CBs are looking alright so far, what with out long balls and all into the box. If we can put'em under a bit more pressure as we're finally attempting to now, and pass along the ground, Martins' pace can be utilised. Right now he's a wannabe left-winger.

Hardly negative thoughts. We're all just calling it as we see it. Truth is neither negative nor positive.

It's ping-pong, motherfuckin' ping-pong in the center circle. PASS THE BALL.

We have no fuckin' shape in midfield.

Carr being raped. Harper, however, isn't. Fuck, howay Stevie man!

Just saw the goal. What a fuckin' goal. Screw all of you lot. Howay The Chopz! I hate Sunderland -- I have to spell it all out so that you narrowminded people understand. And yes, it's only two games in, I'm not kneejerkin', but attempting to provide food for thought.

http://www.newcastle-online.com/nufcforum/index.php?topic=37510.0 Nugent: 2 games, 0 goals. Fell, slipped and missed chances in tonight's game. Chopra: 2 Games, 2 Goals. Discuss. PS: I hope people don't think I have something against the former, I want both these lads to succeed. But some of the comments in the thread mentioned above, where people rated Nugent far higher than Chops, now seem a tad suspect.

Nope I would rather chop some bloke on here's balls off. Oh so you're into that too? Do I need to lie down?

Yes, and no. You could play through your skin, make a fuckin' name for yourself, and actually have a chance of moving to a bigger club. And go down as a successful footballer. It's all your personal goals, at the end of the day. If your personal goal involves becoming a professional footballer, and it's something you've been chasing since you were wee lad, going to training sessions and playing on windy nights when all your mates were out partying, giving up education for the ball, then when a Premiership team headed by a revered former-player comes along and offers you a contract you can't turn down, offering you a chance you've been waiting for, then saying 'no' on the grounds of "... ugh, but they're Sunderland, like. I'll pack it in or keep playing in the First Division, and pretty much say goodbye to all my hopes and dreams I've been working towards," then you'd be one brave man. Or incredibly stupid. Or incredibly insecure and weak willed.

Oh fuckin' right. If you actually have a choice, I'd even choose fuckin' Derby over them lot.

Some real infancy goin' on in this thread now. Surely then real poverty means nought? Is Lee Clark a traitor, why do we count him as 'our own' now? Fuck off, if I had to slave to make ends meet, or play for Sunderland, I know where I'd go. And I'd even go as far as to say that I'd become a fuckin' Paki and play for the Pakistani cricket team if India forsaked me. Raul is the flagship for Real now, but everyone knows his heart belonged to Atletico when he was young. Millions of such examples. At the end of the day, when the pension starts, you want savings to back it up, mate. Simple as. Then pride will mean nought. And who is to say where your heart can lie? That'll never, ever change.

Sorry if this has been posted before, why wasn't Enrique playing?

As Bobby would say: "Well, we won the first half 3-0, but lost the second 1-0. Not good enough, Carl Cort (Ameobi) should've held the ball better."

Yeah, mate. Coverage was decent, switched over to soccercentral after the match. C-Lounge? Dropped off wor lass there once and told her to have a good night. She met me 45mins later in a right twat'ish mood. Shite. Don't go. Some nice R. Kelly-type girls in there though . The Woody Allen in me had to be shot down. They do, however, have a sort of pool party going on year-round, which can't be a terrible thing if you're in the mood / drunk enough.

A paradox, surely? Any prem team, even the top ones, would take a striker onto their books if he's able to get into double figures in his first full season? I'm just saying, you know. We'll see how the lad does, anyways. Happy as heck for him. Not the fuckin' mackems, but it's two teams I despise, so at least it's entertaining.

They've changed my mind, Setanta. Hats off!

Get a paper route. I work at Staples. My mom is willing to pay for her own Indian channels, but she says my grades will suffer and all that. Anyway, I think it's better that i pay for ir on the internet, that way I can pay for it myself without anyone knowing. I was just having you on, mate. Good lad, though. Oh God, welcome to the world of the urban brown person, mate. Those ATN and Sony 'serials' have what driven me, and millions, to pubs across town when footie's on. When I got a proper job the first thing I did was buy a separate telly, with a separate Rogers box, and with all the footie channels I could possibly afford. PS: Bonk - just got home from a night out, and remembered to turn to channel 429. Fuckin' hell! It's really there. Fuckin' rugby, though. Had a shitty night too, fuckin' C Lounge.

Whilst being surrounded by plastic Spurs and Liverpool support? No thanks. Here's a link to Setanta Canada's Schedule: http://130.94.23.190/SSCDN_live_schedule.htm They've got all our matches on until the end of November. This is better than what was on offer. Howay Setanta! You won't find many plastic fans in the Gloucestor, the others, definitely. But what to do, nothing beats a pint and footie. The Setanta Canada schedule -- how on earth do I get Setanta here? Can I order it through Rogers? How much? (Apologies if it's been mentioned here before) NM. Seems like this is only Broadband. Sucks. It's like Homer says at the beginning of the Simpsons' film: why pay for something you can get for free? DJ, you jackass, you work for Rogers!!!! CHANEL 429 IS SETANTA IF YOU HAVE DIGITAL!!! FREE TILL SEPT. 11!!!! Also, if you'd like to go and catch a match at the pub, lemme know. Tomorrow is out, but next weekend could be good. Fuck! 429.. . you serious? You do know you just made my day, right? And hey, I work for the Rogers Home Phone Department, you should know that we have no idea about anything other than what we've been trained in . Yeah, about the game, sounds good. I can't make it tomorrow anyways, I'm workin' all day. I'll definitely let you know about next weekend. You frequent the Gloucestor much? What are your regular watering holes?
