They're playing Chelsea, though. Chelsea will also be playing three "defensive midfielders".

Honestly, I wouldn't begrudge any big, well supported and historic club from getting investment and going on to win things. The only problem I have is a club like Man City who inflate the market to absurdly ridiculous degrees.

Just point out that the Chelsea team had a combined 374 international caps, and we had four players starting who have never started a PL game. The result as much as it was a good one for us was an embarassment for Chelsea and its featured players. Exactly. Don't even know why I've bothered to respond again. They're barely football fans. They're a twattish bunch of spoilt c***s, is how it looks. Yep, exactly my first thoughts. I've given up arguing though, it's a waste with plastic supporters like that who don't know what it's like to follow a real club. I was about respond to the 'big club' jibe, but yeah it's just a waste of time. Chelsea were f***ing nowt till Abramovich turned up. Devils advocate, but Abramovich's first match in chrage of Chelsea was a CL qualifier. IT's not a Man City situation. They were a serious club before.

No there hasn't. The 'No' people have just said you can get them anywhere else. That's not a good argument as the point is we could discuss them openly in threads without the forum be sued. That's better than any of the arguments so far. People saying the forum running costs would be better suited have a point. But there isn't a thread for that (for reasons Andy has now stated) so it's a moot point at the moment. But you've already said you're not in which is fair enough but if 30+ others say they're in what's the problem (again, unless the admin say it's too much of a headache to organise)? There's no reason to fight to make a point you're not interested people. You're not in; which is fair enough and as definitive as can be. No need to justify your decision Maybe the biggest problem is next season when it has to be done all over again! However, I accept it aint gonna happen The financial cost to the members, and the cost to the administration in terms of time, energy, and effort are significantly larger than the benefit of being able to see fixtures without opening a new tab on your browser.

You want me to spend my hard earned currency to feed the ever expanding ego of "The Greatest League in the World"?! Rubbish! Please, man. I can get all sort of obscure statistical data on the internet free of charge, yet I'm supposed to pay for something that is generally common knowledge. Anyone who pays for this is a fool really. Not worth it at all.

I can tell you from experience that it is difficult not to pick up small things when you spend a bit of time in a place, but I've spent a lot more time in Yankee than McClaren has in Germany without completely changing the way I talk. The only way this happens, is if you desire the change.

Agreed. Agreed, it's almost as bad as pretending to be Nigerian on a Newcastle forum. I cannot really think of any situation where pretending to be Nigerian would be of benefit to me on the internet. Depends who you previously posted as I suppose. I think you are taking the piss because I genuinely have no clue what you are on about. The fixture thing just seems ridiculous. You think it would be common knowledge. Does the BBC aggressively copyright its television and radio schedules?

That's bizarre logic.. Also I don't believe anyone here constantly browses that forum, nobody is that sad surely. I pop across if I see a talking point in the Chron/Journal/or here about SAFC. That board has resident NUFC fans I cant think of any SAFC fans who post regularly on here. I'm not criticsing anyone by the way. I'm constantly having banter with fans of rival teams/countries in my everyday life. It's good for football. I just find it odd that people are denying their interest in SAFC despite spending their time trolling their bloody message boards. Wish it was that clean cut. What do they say - form goes out the window in a derby match. Still reckon it's too close to call. I think score draw, probably 1-1. The teams are really quite even. Two average Premiership teams with a few nice players. No one will be dominating anyone. Even when they beat us two years ago, they weren't much better, if at all. We were just in disarray.

Like when? Everton for a start. He couldn't be arsed. I wasn't at SJP obviously, so I wouldn't have seen it as well, but I've heard this a few times and it seems ridiculous to me. He was a winger playing the role of lone striker as Everton were putting us under heavy pressure. He ran around a bit when he got the ball. I don't know what else people want.

you dont understand , you didnt grow up here, I'm not claiming to understand, man. The obsession has to be mutual for things to be interesting. Derbies like Fulham-Chelsea where only one side cares are rubbish.

:lol: :lol:

The freekick wasn't that impressive, imo. He hit where the keeper should have been, but Turnbull decided he didn't want to be there. Nice power, though.

Terry hasn't had a good game for other 18 months for me. Bollocks! I know of plenty of people that agree with me tbh. All of you are idiots, then. The top centreback fro England and the Premier League Champions hasn't had a good match in eighteen months? Ridiculous. The opinion is so obviously nonsensical that it doesn't even warrant a serious response.

Anyone who is constantly browsing the Sunderland forum to laugh at their obsession with NUFC is in denial about their own obsession with SAFC.

Not scared of Kalou. His athleticism and eye for goal are very useful when he's playing with better players, but he really isn't a top quality footballer. He probaly won't stand out that much.

That's harsh. He did well there. Criticism is too much.

Poor from Turnbull. If he can get it up and over from that range then it's just too good. You can't let him score on that side.

I actually like ranger a fair bit watching him. Unlike Shola, he is mobile and energetic. He should be upfront.

Jonas is trying to do too much. Just keep the ball!

Kakuta

That was ridiculous.

I'm actually fairly excited for this. Didn't really ever get to see too much of our youth products.

From an outsider perspective, Spence seems to be very much the typical consumer of British news publications. The first thing we must figure is why the woman saw fit to go to Titus Bramble's hotel room.

Fellaini and Biyaletidinov. Maybe the prices is slightly off, but I think I am not far off.
