Nicely unnecessary and disparaging from Kenny there!

I was going to say, it would be a medical miracle if his posts had improved that much.

What has it been erased by exactly?

Strongly disagree! Though I was about 19 when I saw it I think, so my opinion might be bollocks.

Simpson's improvement and consistency has been impressive IMO, he just doesn't quite come up to player of the season level for me.

That is pretty much his special move, hunched over like an actual bull, shuffling as if he's about to flip out and charge at something nail. head. mind-bogglingly frustrating people can't see this in football, even at the level i play at (the bottom) i can make a run with the sole intention of dragging a defender with me to open up play but the person on the ball thinks i actually want it near the corner flag and tries an impossible pass to get it there when there's someone open in space different example to jonas and the space he creates but same principle i'd like to think we'd replace jonas with a more consistent attacking threat at home but keep him around for cover and away games myself...no way we should ship him This is pretty much my take on him too, his weaknesses are glaring but he consistently buys space for other attackers and his running and knack of winning set pieces very often brings us off the back foot. Finally, some sense talked about Jonas.

I dunno, you've been quite restrained in this thread.

It's really only surprising because we're so used to footballers not answering questions or saying anything of note. I don't think it's wise of him to say stuff like this, but it's entertaining to read!

Yeah, I wasn't responding to you specifically, just the tone of the original articles. TBF he does call Dabo a pussy, which I guess deserves a headline or two!

Hardly re-opening the feud.

Bonjour. You what?

I've decided I need to learn French properly for all these juicy Ben Arfa morsels.

Oh.

Yep. The 'group of lads' is at a pivotal point at the moment, with the Nolan, Barton and Enrique situations. Our team spirit could very easily collapse with the loss of one or two of those. We need to reward this squad for what it has achieved and use it ad a springboard for the future.

I'm at peace with Kevin Nolan playing for us now, with all his abilities and limitations. It feels good!

Smudger always has to be on HBA's team in training like.

If Corinthians aren't based in Sao Paulo that's a weird situation.

Absolutely ridiculous of that fan to sue Sunderland, did he not think that a training session might involve some footballs flying about? At the end of the day it will be to the detriment to all fans because clubs will move to closed training sessions. What a mong.

If they say "gis half a quid", they're a charver.

Well the bloke's not psychic, returns from injury are never exact.

Barry is awful, it's one of life's great mysteries how he has so many England caps and Rafa was so desperate to sign him.

Been saying that for years.

Yeah, I was offended by that chant as well. But now I wonder, is it really just factually accurate and not racist at all?

Those quotes don't justify a very solid conclusion. Sounds like Pardew is just making an educated guess about when HBA might be ready to include in the squad.
