NORTH EAST TOP DAWGS!

And they score!

Sunderland lining up 4-6-0 for the Arsenal match. Classy attacking football befitting of the "Barca of the British Isles."

Ban. I don't care if asking for ban gets me banned. BAN!

Just hypothetically, how high do you think we'd have to finish to have him starting alongside Terry at euros? 7th? 6th? 4th? 1st?

Never mind not being good for the fans, that's not even good advertising. Anyone with eyes who sees the place on tv and come away with a negative brand image of SD.com: "tacky and cheap"

Hart Richards Terry Cahill Baines Wilshire Parker Gerrard Sturridge Rooney Young Subs GK: Ben Foster, Declan Rudd DF: Phil Jones, Chris Smalling, Phil Jagielka, Ashley Cole MF: Theo Walcott, Tom Cleverly, Adam Johnson, Frank Lampard, Gareth Barry FW: Andy Carroll, Danny Welbeck, Darren Bent

Don't be silly. Nobody sane would leave him out even if he does miss two games or the entire group stage for that matter.

I'd love to see Wenger as England manager. It would either be awesome or hillariously funny and as a neutral I'll take either.

Season ticket at my local club(k-league) cost me about 50 quid and includes all league, cup, and ACL matches. Obviously the circumstances are different, but football in England is pretty ridiculously expensive by any standard. Exactly I paid $130 AUD for my season ticket and that includes all friendlies, club merchandise and discounts on away tickets.Just extrodinary to see how much people pay over there. Who is your team by the way and more importantly do you love the Og Monster. FC Seoul I was prepared to be rather fond of Ognenovski before he pulled out of a move to us at the last minute a few months ago.

Maybe part of the problem is fans who believe that a qualification campaign where you finished first is a failure just because you didn't piss on every other team in the group from a high distance.

Blatantly playing harder because he feels threatened by wor Sammy

It also helps that he's not actually shit

Quinn and Bruce in Korea this weekend to watch Ji and sign a cooperation agreement with the kfa. Good thing I'm not at home while they're stinking up the place.

Don't really see much of a difference on the pitch between Hughton and Pardew. If there's one factor that validates the decision to replace the former with the latter, it would be Hughton allegedly allowing the likes of Barton, Nolan, and Smith to take a larger leadership role, which worked great in the Championship but obviously would have been problematic in the long term. Unfortunately none of us really know for sure what happened behind closed doors. Tactically neither has really ever done anything special. We're better now because we have better players.

I'm actually getting pretty certain at this point that Mimi either is Ben Arfa or is related to him by blood

It's a lot easier for a smaller club to keep a good goalkeeper than players in other positions. Then again, we shouldn't have to worry about it at all given that we're looking at a title challenge and champions league football.

I think he should start on the right wing. I realize he might be better up front but we need to bring him into the side somehow and Obertan is the only one of our attacking players that's droppable atm.

:lol: We have internet, man. How did you find Abuja? I am not from that area of the country, obviously, but I've always felt it was an extremely boring and dry city. Relatively clean and safe, though. Somehow missed this good news as well. Jonas is a consistent and hardworking player. I think he fits in perfectly with the new talent we've brought in, so this news is nothing but encouraging. Business. Not by choice. For the record, your government is legitimately terrible to work with and your airport workers should all be consigned to the deepest spheres of hell - but only after a four hour security check. You're still my favorite Nigerian though

Sorry, late to the party. Stuck in Africa with little to no chance of an internet connection. (FAO Baba: I'm in Abuja!) But... Woah? Really? This actually happened? Not only is this good news in the sense that a key player is staying, it also sends a larger message that we're perfectly capable of tying down our best players to new contracts despite what happened with Barton and Enrique. Bodes well for Colo's chances of putting pen to paper as well.

Checking On the score while waiting for my connection in Hong Kong. Looks like a fabulous game

He's surely not coming back. I can't imagine him being on good terms with Ashley and we wouldn't be willing to pay his wages or even his knockdown transfer fee (which would probably still exceed 10m)
