Shola and Raylor in a fantastic combination of fail.

Barton has switched flanks with SWP? Warnock doing us a favor?

No subs, Jesus Chirst. Just fuck off.

Seriously, if Santon on for Taylor doesn't happen at HT, I quit life.

QPR aren't actually being that creative in attack either. The difference is that they just have the easy option of "pass it to SWP -> watch Raylor fuck up -> profit"

We did not wait 16 days to watch QPR play solitaire.

Oh look, Wright Phillips got the ball again. Ryan Taylor fucks up, again.

Pardew should be sacked on the spot if Ryan Taylor isn't off at half time. Pretty much single-handedly (almost) losing us the game so far

Can't believe I waited two weeks for this shitshow.

Just stop it with Ryan Taylor man. We kept faith. It didn't work. Stop. Now.

Man, England internaitonal Jay Bothrooyd is such a piece of shit.

I would start taking notice of how every time the ball goes to Wright-Phillips on the left flank, they almost score a goal. I would start now.

Wright Phillips doing a wonderful job of reminding Pardew that Ryan Taylor isn't a left-back so far.

I hate Man United. If you haven't lived in East Asia you don't know what hating Man United is like. It's like the McDonalds of football clubs. Liverpool for the obvious reasons. I think I'd hate Chelsea if Didier Drogba wasn't such a thoroughly likable human being.

This doesn't work because there is no absolute certainty about Raylor costing us a game - or even killing us It's not impossible to survive a game of Russian Roulette either. Depends upon the variation of the rules in use? Anyway, it's a silly metaphor for this. Know what you're trying to do, but he's nowhere near as much a liability as you're implying. He is man. He's a fucking calamity waiting to happen at right back, never mind left back. Just look back to the relegation season. He managed to go 4 matches without dropping a clanger and scored a couple goals on the way, credit to him, but the sooner this state of affairs is over the better.

Just because you played Russian Roulette 3 times and didn't die doesn't mean it's a good idea to try it again.

Wow, I was out on the piss last night and didn't notice that Gyan had gone and Ji had scored

Surprisingly well-written compared to the steaming pile of crap they usually come out with. Decent PR exercise.

There's a Japanese company in Sunderland? Thanks, I finally have a real reason to hate the city now

I doubt we'd ever take the chance to bring him back even for something like 10 mil. Mike Ashley seems like the kind of person who holds grudges.

Not an excuse, just an expectation. Obviously it would be easier for us to sign players in the Championship given that it would be the equivalent of Man United trying to sign players in the Premiership. Fees we ended up paying were pretty minimal as well. If you look at what our January business in the Premiership has been for the past few years, you'll get a general idea of what to expect from January. The answer is nothing or something pretty close to nothing.

Anyway, the point being that the usual thing to expect from a January window is absolute fuck all. That would be true even if our owner wasn't tight as fuck.

Which was eight years ago and arguably our only successful January business since. There was Nolan, but most of us were livid that we had signed him at the time. And Williamson/Routledge I guess.

I honestly can't remember the last time we made a January signing I was happy with. (And that includes pre-Ashley) It's a terrible time to be on the market, and if we can't even get deals done in the summer, it's fairly obvious how we'll react to the rampant price-gouging in January.
