Poor Klopp, if only he'd have waited a little while longer.

At tht point Cabaye was done for me, but to his credit hplayed his way in to his dream move. The mighty Crystal Palace. Well played career moves, Cabaye.

It would be the most amazing thing in PL history tbh. Trying to see the pundits explain it and try to squirm around the fact they won

Why? You don't like fairytales?

I have no idea why anyone would ever think Rafa would fit in at Real.

I celebrated as fuck. There's life in my fandom yet.

Mitro is god. God is Mitro.

Cisse smiling makes me just as angry as when I see Pardew.

Eurosport bought the rights to the Norwegian leagues today, will introduce a seasonal "All-Star Match" starting with the 2017 season

Killing someone is a stupid thing to do. The fans we have that are that stupid still go to the match, supporting the team not the regime.

This forum is mostly sane. Would assume a lot of the ones still going to the match are on the intelligence level of the RTG lads.

its not just colback though, everything nufc is horrific to him, he does it to keep his canny mag title, its sickening Everything about NUFC is horrible though, to be fair.

Sima tells Sunderland fans that Colback is the worst and shit. Guy tells the truth to other guys. What is wrong here? Does the other two people want to defend Colback? What even is life?

If they ever decide to redesign the club badge, that in Latin should be incorporated somewhere. That and 'Ambition costs money' Ambitio sumptuum pecuniam

Yes. Astounded.

Roger Kint is currently placed 420th in the world. I, on the other hand, somewhere down below 1.1 millionth in the world.

If the argument is that the next generation wouldn't go to matches because they were available on TV, it's a shit argument. Pretty much anyone with any sort of know how can get an illegal stream of the 3pm PL matches if they fancy. This will no doubt increase in the future with the likes of kodi becoming much more prevalent among people. Televise the games, cash in the money, spend the money on grassroots. Simples. We do it over here and even matches played in the league below our main league get every match be available and some of those teams play in the middle of fucking nowhere. If we didn't televise matches, my hometowns local team would have been bankrupt a decade ago. That said, we also have a betting monopoly where all the money people lose go to grassroot sports rather than rich companies, and I still choose to use Unibet. The only real issue is that the money generated from 3pm televised matches would be grabbed by only PL clubs rather than used on the smaller clubs. If this could be solved there's no issues left. No young cunts will go to the shitty ass local matches in the future anyways, they want instant gratification and Manchester Uniteds, no time for Salford Citys. Just televise the fucking matches, everyone can already watch every match in HD if they so please.

I've put £75 on Liverpool -3 @ 13.20

Carr simply does as he's told which is to buy young, Foreign players for as little an outlay as possible, from smaller leagues who will then in turn make the club a tidy profit 2-3 years down the line. You simply can't run a football club in this way when this is your only transfer strategy. It's just not flexible at all and has left us in a position where we have a young squad, devoid of any leadership which regularly goes on ridiculous losing runs because there's no figurehead(s) in the dressing room to get the players back on track. You can see it on the pitch. We go a goal down, heads drop and there's not a single player on that pitch who is capable of getting a reaction from his teammates and taking the game by the scruff of the neck. The fundamental problem is that NUFC is not run like a football club and decisions are not made for footballing reasons. It's always going to be a recipe for disaster. You're right on a number of things. Our squad does seem to lack a leader figure and that affects the squad psychology negatively. It's a failing of our recruitment policy, as that's a key factor when looking to bring in players. Every model for player evaluation includes a player's mental attributes as a fundamental pillar. Either our scouting team is shit at assessing this aspect of a player or the people making the signings aren't paying enough attention to that area. That's one problem. The recruitment policy relying on cheap players from foreign leagues and unproven kids obviously isn't going to be as successful as blowing wads of cash on proven signings. But there is merit to the approach when it's done right. Going two windows barely signing anyone, lacking cover in essential positions, and missing out on targets because of haggling over the odd million or few hundred thousand here and there - that's not what I'd consider "doing it right" but it's not my money. If that's the approach they want to take then there's not much anyone can do about it... but they really need to be investing in other areas to develop the cheap players they bring in. There's definitely some quality among the players that we have. We just haven't managed to form it into a cohesive team. Partly due to lack of investment in certain areas, partly due to the psychological aspect you mentioned. However, all of this comes back to the same fundamental problem; the team lacks a footballing vision. The most successful teams when it comes to buying cheap, developing talent, and promoting from the youth ranks all have a footballing philosophy that runs throughout the club. Players can come and go, managers can get replaced, and the club philosophy remains. The philosophy informs the scouting policy, the recruitment selection, how the youth teams are organised, and allows for interactions between all parts of the club to be cohesive and all-encompassing. It allows them to build team after team. We don't have that. We don't have a philosophy and we can't get one because we're not being run, at an operational level, by football people. We need someone who knows football - preferably good football - informing every part of the club. It doesn't matter who the manager is until we get that. If the business team, scouting team, youth team, and first team aren't all on the same page then we're going to continue having these problems. If we hadn't burned the KK bridge, he'd have been an ideal candidate for a Director of Football-type role to advise on this stuff (ok, maybe not the youth development - but the rest of it). Until we have someone like that in place the manager is basically irrelevant.

Much more interesting teams to play in the Championship tbh, would welcome it. Fuck the PL.
