Leave the transfer window without filling one of our most pressing positions, stop-gap immediately injured. Highly surprising

Didn't sign one of those desperately-needed positions, couldn't even loan Matt Targett ffs

It's amazing just how blatantly they act the cunt EVERY single transfer window and yet we continue to hope anyway, right to the bitter end. 11m net spend, sweet Jesus H Christ man.

Leaving personal feelings of despair to one side, he needs to walk away for his own sanity. These incompetent, ignorant, lying cunts will never ever change.

Yep. Selling him is stupid enough, not getting market value (for an English striker with unrealized potential due to constantly moving around or lack of usage) and not squeezing every last penny out of the buying club is downright incompetent.

And when we sell Gayle, we're basically break-even

Reminded me of that time Scott Parker ran himself to physical exhaustion and just had to lie by the touchline for a minute Think that might have been in a home game against Arsenal. Didn't he end up with a big lump of cotton wool in his mouth after taking an elbow in the mush for the cause?

The toy ambulance in mid-air, not once but twice, is fantastic. Just watched the BBC interview, seemed a lot more upbeat in general, not just about the win.

Lejeune could be even better, look forward to them being a partnership

Merino was very good on the ball but a lot of the freedom he got to express himself was down to the work done by Hayden, excellent today

Unsung hero tbh. Goalline clearance at one end, followed by a goal at the other. Brilliant today along with Ritchie and Hayden.

Great win and even better that it came from an excellent performance.

Where's our LB ffs?? How can it be so fucking hard to find one? Can barely remember the last time we had a class LB

Terrible defender according to Chelsea fans. Best going forward and/or as a winger Pretty sure a lot of them thought De Bruyne was shit as well. Well renowned bastions of knowledge those Chelsea fans.

You don't think he'd let Riviere leave? He hasn't even been given a number FFS. Was thinking more about De Jong when I said that. Riviere man ... what a ridiculous time he had here. Just awful. Why would any sane club want Riviere? You'd be actively admitting you don't want to score any goals ever And SDJ has been about as reliable as a Trabant trying to get around the Dakar Rally I'll believe these deals when they actually happen

Proper pass that

Is it? <b>Are you actually staggering around?</b> The local lads that spring to mind are adored and legends. Shearer, Beardsley, Waddle, Gazza, Ben Arfa, etc. The s**** ones are called out for being s****, not for being local. Easy myth to bust. Picturing someone reeling around like an extra from the Walking Dead at the unfairness of it all

He played one game got injured and returned to Chelsea because of it.

Failed to make any impact at Watford on loan according to that article. Don't know when that was or how much he played but that sounds shite tbh, hardly inspires confidence. Still, a signing

They'll rise in late August, if anything, the absolute fuckwits

Looks like Mick Hucknall got it on with our Matt...brutal

He's got a threshold, Mojo. He's got a threshold for the abuse that he will take. Now, right now, he's a f***ing race car, all right? And Mike's got him in the red. And I'm just saying, I'm just saying that it's f***ing dangerous to have a race car in the f***ing red, that's all. He could blow. Sounds like fiction to me.

Enjoyed the way Shelvey avoided the (admittedly crap) tackle from the defender to setup Atsu, subtle bit of intelligence

Holy s*** That's bonkers that man. How could they not know where they were in the league table? I knew where my team was in the division when I played 5-a-side at the Rec man

Jonny Gently in that thread is a good read: https://www.readytogo.net/smb/threads/smoggies.1379067/page-4#post-25857849 "Typical of the jealousy of Smogs and mags who have aspirations way above their capabilities. <b> However we are loved by other fans because we are everything the mags purport to be </b>. Quote 'Man City fan'. Of course the difference is we know we're crap and can take the p*ss out of ourselves. The mags and smogs by and large can't. They still live in a Bobby and Bryan Robson wonderland. So sad so funny. " Where on earth does this notion come from? That Sunderland are "loved" by other fans. What exactly is it that they "are" anyway? Far as I know, they're a total non-entity as a club, haven't won owt since the 70's and are more generally known for racist fans and an empty stadium with rubbish on the pitch. Creased at the patter
