That was just about the most effective way of making me feel even more anxious about this season. I hate being unbeaten man. In some ways it's worse than being genuinely terrible.

Debt doesn't really matter for a club like Man United. No matter how bad their financial situation gets they'd always be able to find a buyer if they had to.

What? Made me feel old. Is that really ancient history? No it wasn't It's been less than 10 years since he retired man. If he's ancient history, so is Shearer.

How did the lack of bad thoughts work out for Celtic? Ki has scored 4 in 10 from central midfield so far this season, so I really don't care how Celtic are doing in their little mickey mouse league. To be fair, my best wishes haven't exactly been of much use for both them and Hamburg

Fergie, Wenger, and Bruce should have all figured out by now that my bad thoughts will destroy them if they keep benching their Korean players.

Love how he actually had official club lettering ironed-on instead of just scrawling it out in magic marker too

He seems to be a bit counter-productive in general given that the point of having a right-footed right winger is to have him be able to hug the touchline and put in crosses. Obertan likes cutting inside more and he couldn't put in a good cross to save his life. Might as well play left-footed Marveaux there if Obertan is going to be drifting inside anyway.

No worries. He's making it one way or another after one of Man United, City, or Chelsea slaughter us 5-0.

We even had a joint team with the Commie bastards at the U21 WC in '91. But no, the Scots can't play football with the English.

Be careful what you wish for. We could get sold to foreign owners who make noises about investment. Then they could turn out to be Venky's.

I think it's important to have some players who can swing crosses with the foot that corresponds to the side they're playing on - neither of our left sided players are left footed, although obviously Jonas put a rare tremendous left footed effort in yesterday and if you put Marveaux down the right, it's another player who has to check back and that can slow attacks down and the crosses are rarely as effective. That would only leave Simpson as the one of the four who can put them in naturally, and his crossing is shit. I'm aware Obertan's hardly David Beckham but it's a lot easier for full backs to defend against wingers who effectively can't beat them for pace and put a cross in, no matter how quick they are, because at some point they're going to have to check back. mate i'm fully for putting Jonas on the right and Marveaux on the left, dont think we'll see it this season though If Ashley's spending in January() it wouldn't hurt for us to go out and buy a right-sided, right-footed midfielder.

I think I actually feel worse when we're doing well than when we're doing shit When we're nice and mediocre there's nothing to lose and I can just enjoy the matches. Now I'm constantly anxious about Pardew walking or Ba's knee falling off or something else ridiculously happening and throwing us into the shitter.

On there they were also saying Ameobi is always capable of scoring the kinda goal he did on Sunday and that he's 'clinical.' To be fair if I was another club's supporter I would probably think Shola was class given that he only gets in the media when he has one of his one-in-ten blinders and nobody cares when he's shit. A non-Newcastle supporter's memory of Shola is probably something like "Crazy long-range effort against Chelsea, powerful strike against Sunderland, beautiful finish against Spurs..."

Andy Carroll = 8.75 million Pounds per goal Demba Ba = Negative infinity Pounds per goal. Problem?

He was signed after I left for basic training and left before I came back. (I was cut off from the outside world for about 4 months) It's like he never existed for me. Him and KizanwhateverIcan'tspellhisname

I just sat down at work and did nothing but read posts on RTG for half an hour. I'm not even a Geordie and I'm obsessed

Ridgewell would be a good fit I suppose. Would prioritize a fullback upgrade on either side though. Don't think we even need a striker at this point.

He's going to start next game just to piss all of us off, isn't he?

It's mid-October. We're unbeaten. I don't understand how this is possible

We'll never find out. All black men look alike you know. And I suppose Korea doesn't look like a massive family reunion to you? I have to admit it's kind of creepy to play for Sunderland and then wake up with no memory of it afterward.

We'll never find out. All black men look alike you know.

Evenly matched draw with one of the best teams in the league. Still fucking unbeaten. I'll take it. Worried that the Premier League will have something to say about Hatem and Shola coming on with the wrong squad numbers though.

Shola's wearing the 10 and Ben Arfa's wearing the 23 right?

WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO SHOLA

Fucking hell Shola's been amazing
