Fuck it. We'll end their unbeaten run and break their morale, giving Fergie his 5 billionth title.

Even if we were offered him back, I'm not sure I'd want him back at this point. We could get better for the 10m+ in fees and 70k or so a week he would cost surely. I'd also be concerned about the effect his relationship with Steven Taylor would have on the dressing room.

Hatem is an awesome time-waster. Pardew blatantly told him to just go fuck around with the ball for as long as possible.

How do you give someone a hamstring injury? I dunno, but I can't bring myself to wish a broken leg on anyone anymore since Ben Arfa happened. Unless they're Japanese.

Who (if any) is playing Spain this weekend and how much would they accept in exchange for a nice, niggly hamstring injury on Silva?

Meh, where would Chelsea be without their talismanic 50m striker banging in the goals to keep them in the title race? Oh, wait...

Don't see what's wrong with them. They're quite boring but I don't find them offensive in any way.

Shame, but having an actual squad feels really good

I'd grudgingly accept Sunderland getting a point if it meant we could be 2nd for a week.

Thanks, for that. Really interesting. Losing Enrique still boils my piss and seeing them gloat over what a fantastic buy he was for them irritates still. But Ryan Taylor holds his own I suppose, statistically speaking. (But that's probably down to our easy schedule ) I really have to wonder though what the writer was thinking while putting the article together. Why was Ryan Taylor included for analysis at all? I'm happy he/she/it did. I don't think I would've bothered. Because he wanted to include the starting left-backs for all the teams challenging for a CL place?

If we signed Maiga it's pretty much play on the wing or don't play at all for him. You'd hope he'd make the right choice.

:lol: ...I'm well biased in hating him because he's both Danish and playing for Sunderland, though. But still. Thank god. I thought I was the only one hating Denmark :lol: I can't imagine the kind of hate I'd feel if Sunderland ever signed a Japanese player.

Surely at this point criticizing Lovenkrands is just beating a dead horse. A really, really dead horse.

Hi HTT, I'm a minority. It's not just the white people.

We could use a right-footed right-winger who could actually hug the flanks and cross. Haven't got one of those. Unsure if Hoilett is suited for that role though.

Come January he'll potentially be behind, Best, Ba, Ben Arfa, Ameobi AND Maiga, so we could really just sell him and still loan out the young talent anyway.

33-man squad? I can think of at least 8 problems with that...

Very well played, that. Without doubt, nice to see common sense prevail for once. If I was the ref I'd be scared shitless of the stick I'd get if I even tried to book him for that. Tragic story in any case. Wouldn't wish that sort of thing on anyone.

Helped out a lot defensively as well. Didn't think he'd be able to learn how to do that.

Jesus Christ, how good does that make Gardner and Cattermole then.

Add Jermaine Pennant to the rather extensive list of players who were supposed to "destroy" Raylor, but haven't.

Not a lot of teams get to be in that position at the Britannia I suppose.

Made the exact right tactical choices in the second half. They weren't fun choices, but they were the right ones.

Anybody got a screencap of the League table I can save for posterity?

Third in the league. THIRD IN THE FUCKING LEAGUE
