Colos Short and Curlies

I don't get it. I thought his hands were tied due to the type of player Carr was identifying? Yet this week he is after Cabaye, Remy and Ba. He'll be getting Ben Arfa in next

I'd argue that for a French international there would be benefit to playing at a club with Sissoko and Cabella than at a club with no other French internationals, even if there will be little in the league placings of the mentioned clubs

BBC - US investigating Sepp. It's all falling into place

Couldn't think of anyone worse from that Arsenal era though :-)

I know, but he might have someone he has in mind as a trusted #2. Hopefully it would be someone absolutely class who he's played with. Bergkamp with any luck. Or Wiltord knowing our luck

I wonder if Liverpool are going to suffer a Gerrard hangover effect like we did with Shearer? There's going to be a lot of pressure to get him back in a management or coaching role, may impact on who they can bring in if and when Brenda moves on

Slightly annoying that it's the yanks who are saving football - we're going to be forced to call it soccer in return

At least this years shirt has a sewn on badge. Small victories

what sort of f***ing childhood did you have? Apparently it is an actual thing Didn't everyone do that? 'Tell ya mother I saved your life, but don't tell her I pushed you'. Next you'll be denying that anyone has ever crouched down behind someone in order to let someone else push them over you. 80s/early 90s school playground japes man, or as the youth of today would put it 'top bantz'

Hate this British thing. You wont see anyone suggesting that Chelsea down to Southampton need to recruit British in order to progress, its only reserved for teams struggling in the bottom half. To me that means, buy British if you expect to be struggling, cos in the main they are crap but run around a bit

Thomsons face was a peach there

I think that's wishful thinking tbqh. Ashley doesn't give a fuck about even his most senior personnel in his main business. These knobs leaving NUFC are not even collateral damage. With any luck he'll fuck Liar off too and bring in a whole new regime with a different mandate. Highly doubtful though. That's not entirely true. A lot of the senior bods in his emporium of tat have been there for a long time and are trusted friends to MA. He very much cares about who is running SD

Its not like they didn't have a wad of cash to replace him (or his goals) with. 5th after losing Suarez to injury on the first weekend of September so no chance to replace him would be decent, 5th after having the chance to spend in the region of £100m is not

I might even have a bit of respect for him if he goes full Zidane and butts Pards

Would a referee dare send off Steviiiiiiieeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Geeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee today? Would love that to happen

Spurs and Man Utd Good. Spurs look on the beach with today's performance

I'd stick Jonas/Colback at full back and have Abeid, Anita and Sissoko in midfield. Cabella, and Aarons wide with Perez through the middle. West Brom are going to sit back so we need Anita to be picking passes, not Colbacks disappearing act. But of course it will be Gouffran and Riviere up front, with Colback and Sissoko centre mid

Johnny Vegas and Carver

Best looking girl in Sunderland, by virtue of having her own teeth

He couldn't even hide properly, a number of shit passes and a soft as shite free kick broke his cover. Amady Faye was better than this joker

Although I'm fully behind the AO boycotts, I'd love a full house giving Carver the sort of reception that Pardew got against Cardiff or Stoke.

Should be manager and captain, but no we get unused sub and no mark go coach trying to pacify fans.

Warburton's been confirmed as leaving Brentford for the last few months Warburton didn't want to go, a different scenario altogether for motivating players. Not a defence for Schteve though

Lascelles can play next week can he not?
