wormy

Anyone betting tonight then? Just wondered if they thought Lyon away to Benfica @ 4.00 is good odds? Thought that was quite high.

Yeah.

Of course not.

I just can't get my head round what the point of that guy's post is.

Great way of putting it, I can picture it even better now!

Yeah right, they couldn't even give it a fucking rest in the post-match interview.

Even discounting Keane he had a shocking record of buying. And I don't even think about the pricey flops, how many players did he bring in for very little to average money and they turned out to be utter dross? Just didn't understand the point of most of his signings.

You are also a worm Cheers for that man

Fucking ridiculous how they're pushing this story. And I still don't believe this 'the club want to wait till January to be sure he's the right man'. They offered him a contract at the start of the season did they not? They set a date a while back to review his contract. Just because they won't pander to the media like Shepherd would have done, and are going to stick with that date, that means they're leaving him hanging? In my opinion Hughton clearly doesn't have a problem with this, and it doesn't look like the team does. Can't believe this bollocks non-story has got so much of an airing based on absolute shite drummed up by rags I wouldn't wipe my ass with. /Rant over.

That he's got muscle fatigue problems? Well, not exactly! At least he's taking precautions so they can get the best out of him.

I'm a dirty southerner, and I wouldn't offend the good people by calling myself a Geordie. Whenever people call me it after saying I follow the Toon I'll always correct them with 'nahh, not a Geordie unfortunately, wish I was'.

Do we know how Tooj's masterplan was recieved?

Fantastic for Barca.

Fair comparison that, Disco.

Someone asked while watching the match about him. Asking if he's England material. I just said, potential, still a lot of work to do. And then he went and pulled a performance out like that. If he can keep that sort of level of performance going then there's no doubt he deserves a shot with England.

Or even just move the 5, -, and 1 keys all together somewhere on the keyboard, a bit more subtle.

Hasn't that been said for around 7 games mark, then 10 games already? I just feel this whole season is going to be a bit topsy turvy.

I've actually been waiting for this. Felt that it was couldn't be that easy to talk negatively about that 8 year old and a friend or relative was gonna be about..

These past 4 pages have been fantastic to go through! Think I might start reading this thread all over again on slow afternoons!

Aye, I called Shola a great man. Alan Smith was definitely there too, and I heard Harper was as well, must have been most of them... Ha ha! I got some cracking pics! Harper was there aye. I seen Ranger, Best and Campbell somewhere too - not in there though! you can't say that without letting us have a deeks! The 3 amigos! http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=463562113104&set=a.387903998104.157589.747773104 Jonas' fashion sense is fantastic!

Tooj well done man! That's immense, the 5-1 under the keyboard is just genius

Can't believe all 3 promoted teams are still hanging around the Europa places I get the feeling this is going to be a weird season with a lot of twists and turns.

In one of the rags today he had the best out of 10 rating of any Sunderland player

Aaron Hughes was generally a nailed-on starter, not a sub. And to be a good sub, you have to be somewhat competent. He's a terrible RB and just as bad at RW. Is there any evidence to suggest he can play somewhere else? Still never understood why we got rid of him. For the wages he must have been on and a personality that never caused problems, was a fantastic servant and useful player. Hell, would've still been important for us to this very day.

I think Dowd is trying to hide that he secretly enjoys it.. If he doesn't.. He should put in a sexual harassment charge on Bramble, that would be epic.
