2 complete morons.

Fighting amongst the best is the problem though, the best teams have squads to have a go at Europe while also finishing around the European places in their domestic leagues, and we dont. The Europe League is so shite at the start that a side like Newcastle are basically guaranteed the group stages and this adds games to our fixture list that we could honestly do without. I would love us to be back in Europe again, but only when we are ready for it.

We dont have a squad to play in Europe next year. If we made it into the Europa League the fixture congestion would begin to show on the Premier League table. We are still aiming to stay up next year, certainly for the first few months anyway.

Last week I was all "I'd have took a draw before this" etc. But 2 weeks in a row is fucking shocking.

Fucking NUFC world keeps turning off on me

Bale off injured

HOWAY THE LADS

He could get back to the kind of form he had a couple of years ago here if he settles well. The team spirit at Newcastle is brilliant, so if he came and wanted to stay he would have to half those wages. If he got back to form of old he would be a brilliant signing for us, particularly if it is just a loan to start.

He will be talking about Newcastle in a bit. Definitely worth a watch.

How long is he going to get away with shit stirring to the media?

This was my favourite:

Interesting fact. If you take Bent's goals out of Sunderland's side, they would have scored the least amount of goals in the league with a pitiful 18. Its crazy selling a player who is that important, and they won't replace him properly either.

Now I know how the mackems feel about Bent.

Bent seems to me as the kind of player who needs to be the main man at a club, certainly since he went to Sunderland anyway. Last season he was a one man team and was a hero on Wearside. Since Gyan has came in, and to a lesser extent Wellbeck, Bent isnt seen in the same light and Sunderland are no longer seen as relying on him. If he goes to Villa, scores a few goals and they stay up, he will probably be seen as a bit of a hero again in the eyes of some Villa supporters.

£4.5 million up front

I can't see Wigan selling Zog or Rodallega in January tbh. They need to survive the drop, if they sell either or both they are doomed to relegation. Not a lot of clubs sell any of their big players in January anyway, which makes this even stranger. The best they can hope for are the likes of Keane or Owen, both are absolute shit and both are more likely to go elseware.

Not even that, but the thread said he posted it today, yet the quote from Twitter the person put in clearly says the 9th January

I like the thought that he put the request in at exactly the same time as the media reported it Just went to look at that link, and the board's in complete meltdown. Can't access it. Its working fine for me, im loving it This is the post, check the date of the tweet, the thread is called "Bents Twitter 9:19AM this morning before the request":

Bramble, Owen and Zog in the same team again as well

RTG is in complete disarray now that there are more Sunderland threads than Newcastle threads on the 1st page of the forum.

That celebration is bloody great I wonder if he will keep it next season or use a new one.
