Can I have Sunderland at 19th and Spuds 20th too?

Owen was alright when he first signed for us. If he was even half the player he was in 2005 we'd have nothing to moan about.

The run leading up to it was even better. Wish we were in for Armand Traore, we'd be set at LB for a few seasons to come if we had him. Wasnt Traore shite even against as shit team like us? What, like the whole Aston Villa first 11?

Well, if giving a damn is all that counts, Duff wouldn't be a bad captain.

How true

Next question is why the hell would we want yet another left winger.

I'll just bite the bullet. I'm not his biggest fan, but we needed him more than we needed the 12m. And worst of all, the 12m we got from his transfer seems to have disappeared into thin air.

I talk about Fight Club

Easiest starting fixtures for a decade maybe.

They are currently sitting in a CL spot however, and might want to think twice before weakening their squad.

Playing with Owen (on current form and in his current position) is rather like playing with 10 men, tbf. Can't we just stick him back in the "hole" behind the striker like Keegan did? At least he does well there.

and welcome back

Heh. If Jonas, Colo and Bassong were all his doing, he's winning me over. Kinnear doesn't seem to mind anyway.

Frankly, nothing too drastic. A little stability for a season or two will do wonders for the club.

If we had two Bassongs, we could push Colo to DM and never see Butt/Smith on the pitch again... *crosses fingers*

They've also got Palacios, and frankly even Koumas or Brown would walk into our midfield right now.

Owen isn't even our most important striker. [Can open, worms everywhere]

A bit harsh on Carlton Cole. He is very physical and strong striker and on his good days can cause problems for certain. Coloccini at the moment tends to pick up the best strikers on the teams we face. I think its a big ask for him at the moment. Colo reminde me a bit of Carvalho, with a Terry type beside him i.e. bigger stronger experienced guy, he would be a lot better off. Colo will struggle against the Carlton Coles and Drogbas otherwise. I think it was an absolute tragedy we didn't keep Faye too partner Colo really. From the replay, it looked like Taylor was meant to be marking Cole, and when Colo noticed that he slipped past Taylor, he tried to cover for him and it made him look quite bad.

If only Taylor wasn't a complete retard.

It was the hair tbh. Nile Ranger rubbing off him already

Goal-scoring records would have been set if it weren't for him. And they still set their season's best in spite of him. Sigh.

If Jonas was English, he'd be crucified. Makes me laugh how so many people can call Butt a complete waste of space five days after he was excellent against Spurs, yet Jonas gets away with being consistently mediocre Butt wouldn't be getting half the shit he's getting now if he had been "mediocre" today.

Its true that we deserved nothing from the game, but we lost both the game on horrible officiating AND 3/4 of our back four in a single day. I'd say its one of those days alright.
