that's assuming he doesnt get halfed again during those 30 games, which i'm fully expecting. absolute pain in the arse this, if there was one player we needed to have a full pre-season it was him

if incoming deals can be judged in hindsight then why cant outgoing deals?

fucking hell man

nowhere near enough, we need to find the money to pay all of his wages upfront as well

has he gone then? or going to holland?

and villainy

he's already here?

i'm sure they'll take his already premier league standard diving to the new heights of champions league class

i'm pretty offended by the accusation that he was 'attacked' in a bar to be honest, what about all the shite he's 'attacked' us with? like condemning the abuse that carroll got. just because it was printed in a programme and wasnt said face to face it doesnt make it any better. man walks into bar full of people who rightly hate him and gets called a cunt, and that's news?

how did he look last night then?

When it's sung about Shola it's usually done in good knowledge that your word isn't going to be tested. i was thinking that as i typed it actually! that song has been sung for so long about comedy players that aren't gonna score that it's no wonder people actually did it when it happened. i remember it being sung at a hartlepool friendly about someone? although they were just a number at the time because they were on trial, maybe bassong or ranger? 52 i think they were. either way it was a safe bet then as well.

he went to one of the bars for a pint before the match?

to be fair if you gonna go around singing 'if (insert player name here) scores, we're on the pitch' . if they actually score you've gotta follow through on your promise really

Been there, done that. Conclusion is always Ashley is a twat. Indeed, but whats the point of all the negativity. Do not listen to what the club/Pardew say, let the action speak, and judge when its over. If its shit, go bananas on Fatty it's not negativity, it's a natural (for some) response to what's gone on previously in relation to what we're likely to see in the future unless something changes (mike's state of mind with regard to club finances) he doesnt care how bananas we go

well anyway you spell it, yeah i'd agree

seriously? no wonder i was so confused

out of interest, what is? How good the players are? Mental suggestion I know. surely the business takes that into account?

out of interest, what is?

I wouldn't worry about it as there is as much chance of him going there as there is of Sunderland being declared European City of Culture 2011. seem to remember brummie saying there was more chance of him being appointed manager of villa than mcleish. i'm not worried about it but it seems possible, are villa really that much more an attractive proposition than the mackems? i cant see it. and one thing i know for certain is that if bruce needs any more motivation to go all out for him, then being seen to get one over on us will be ample. Ask Darren Bent. Oh, and thanks for dragging up the McLeish thing I said *slits wrists vertically, horizontally, diagonally* sorry mate, i'm not sure you lot are in as good shape as when bent signed Of course we're not, it was the McLeish thing that got me going. We've sold two players, one of whom we've known was going for months, and another of whom went yesterday. In fact, he stil hasn't actually signed. So long as we replace them properly, we'll be fine. I can't help thinking that Downing out for N'Zogbia and 10 million pounds in is a bit of a winner of a deal, though. If we can then persuade Scott Parker to come and finish the Given deal, that makes: Downing = Scott Parker + N'Zogbia + Shay Given. I doubt anyone would suggest that is not a good result. Still, let's see what happens. I wouldnt be surprised if we didn't get any of them and the whole thing went to tit. yeah i'd swap n'zogbia for downing any day of the week, downing's always been over rated imo. i agree mostly with what you're saying in terms of the squad, but the elephant in the room is scottish, i'm not sure how fine you'll be.

essentially the words mean nothing, we all know if the right bid comes in he'll be gone, so what you need to put your hope in is that the bid doesnt come.

i'm not sure if the gloating will be bearable if he goes to them like

Opposed to his usually trim appearance? normally just fat. you can actually see his kite now

he looks fat as fuck
