Bang on Mick. Agenda's a plenty.

Sure does.

Aye, it's the players fault Ian. He's a right little bugger. Fancy forcing his Manager to discuss his availability all fucking summer. Nasty, nasty man.

Probably the clubs. Why would they want to risk the sale of the a prized asset by chancing him getting injured. It's been obvious all summer that we've been attempting to flog him.

The state of that bench is an absolute disgrace. It's 2013 and we're fielding 2 x Ameobi's and 1 x Obertan. FML.

If he doesn't appear in the lineup today, I reckon he's as good as gone. Aye - the fucker will probably be on strike now, munching on his frogs legs whining about how unfair everything is with an N'Zogbia-esque frown on his boat race.

Yep - a good mate of mine is an Emirates ST Holder and he can't understand it at all.

You'll probably find we're the ones who've made it public to up the fee/generate further interest. We've been publicly generating interest all season by bigging the fella up. I wouldn't be surprised if this is Ashleys way of getting the fans back for slagging his drinking partner. 'don't sell Cabaye, we'll fackin' show'em Joe'. Pack of cretinous cunts. the question is who benefits making this public, us? no not really if anything it hurts us. Arsenal? Makes them look like they're doing something in response to the defeat and wengers on the case to sort it out trust wenger hes about to go on a spending spree blah blah blah If we've intended to sell him all summer, I'd argue we benefit immensely from having this interest made public because any other interested parties have to either shit or get off the pot. I happen to think he's the one marked as the sacrificial lamb this year and he's probably also (rightly) pissed that he was sold the dream by Billy Liar (AP) which has turned to shit. As you can see, I'm hugely cynical when it comes to all matters NUFC these days.

Just the sight of that smug fucker annoys me. I hope he gets ridden up the bullet hole by all of his horses, one after the other.

Agree with that Alex. No excuse for not having a replacement lined up. It's not like an extra CM would go amiss in the event any Cabaye sale fell through. Unfortunately not the way these guys think. I'd suspect the opposite tbh. Anita, Bigirimana, Cabaye, Tiote, Gosling, Sissoko all battling for 2 or 3 spaces. Expendable as fuck. Anita and Tiote would be the starting pair, I guess. I don't think he sees Sissoko as a middle of the park type of player. This leaves Bigi and Gosling in the event of an injury/loss of form or the more likely occurrence of Tiote kicking someones head off.

He's 27, in the middle of a 5 year contract and (I assume..............) he's pretty much at his peak value. The older he gets or the further his contract runs down the less cash we'll get for him. I can see where the temptation would come from to flog him.

Yup - bang on.

Could well be why he's talking about it so much. Bang on. Commission.

What? Like his mouth?

His negative quotes when it comes to retaining players is fucking infuriating. His team is a reflection of him. Reactive, negative and ambition-less. Fucking sick of this constant dumbing down of fans expectations as though we are some two bit club who should be thankful with what we've got. I remember a time when we were smashing transfer records and playing good football. And he is a reflection of the owner. That I totally agree with but sometimes it's better to say nothing.

Just got to drag JFK out of the pub first. Should be announced about midnight.

Definitely the one player of the 3 we've been linked with I was most keen on signing. Really hope it works out.

Stupid question but...........what difference does it make having all of the homers together?

Is there one? Yep - was cracking last season too but this year it's not working at all. I thought the app was for 12/13 and they will release another one for 13/14, which ofcourse means you'll have to pay again. I have no basis for this other than a guess mind. Can't remember but wasn't it free?

Are you a tailor?

I was at the airport in Amsterdam yesterday and half of the Sunderland youth side were eating pizza and mcdonalds. Even Mackems deserve to treat themselves every now and again. The poor souls normally load up on cheesy chips 7 days a week. A McChicken Sandwich is like anyone else going to the Ritz.
