What happened with Harper then?

Thats a booking then baldy

Howay Joey lad

Howard Webb fuck off man you baldy cunt.

It's kind of mirrored the 5-1 so far, Sunderland miss a sitter, we dominate.

Nolan

What match was it where the ref overruled the linesman, sending the keeper off even though the lad he took out was offside?

You know very well what I meant by that. Early October is still the 'start of the season'. He still didn't really 'play' though did he. We're talking a handful of games (two?) and thats being generous.

In the sense that the fan's get on Jonas' back like they did with Robert. Two frustrating players. Does something poor in the game and you can hear the abusive shout outs and groans go right through the ground. The two of them combined would be one of the best LW's in the world. Robert was one of the best LWs in the world. No - he wasn't. He was exceptional for us for 2 seasons. Utterly brilliant. But he was not one of the best LWs in the world. He was during those two years, some of the things he did on the attack were truly unstoppable.

There's a bit of discussion here about it: From: http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=458915&page=6 Cracking read that, the Durham miner's map bit is particularly interesting.

you forgot Routledge and i don't think there's much between him and Jonas either. There's a fair bit between him and Jonas, tbh. imo is much more suitable than tbh on this occasion. You're wrong. He's not, tbf. he is tbh. Not iyam

Who's this Enerquie? Or Enerique for that matter?

Foster, deary me!

Has started 3 games. We all know he is unfit and past his best. Does that mean he doesn't count then?

He's talking about the current situation as I read it like.

As sensible an addition to this current talk as any. Wages are wages, unless they're going to bankrupt us - unlikely with Ashley in charge - then I couldn't give a s***. Sure, some of them are robbing a living but they would be even if they were on £10k a week and that's classed as nothing these days. People talk about wages like they are playing FM (I bet half of the time that's where they get their 'info' from) and it's embarrassing. Dave in our accounts it said our expenditure on wages in 2008/09 was 72M, that is fact. So the figures bandied around are not far off the truth tbh when you fill in the blanks, also it was widely reported the ashley forgot to put relegation clauses in the players contracts hence why the papers reported how much some of our players would be earning in the championship. I'm shocked we had I would say Enrique, Nolan, Guiterrez are all on around 50k. Smith, Barton and Coloccini around the 60-70k mark. Carroll and Saylor on around 40k mark now. Raylor, Simpson, Routledge, Shola etc 25k. Are you forgetting Owen, Martins, Viduka, Keegan, Shearer, Duff, Gonzalez etc who all left? You and all the 'agents' online at the moment seem to be overlooking this.

I love how people bang on about how so and so is on this much whereas so and so is on this much. 'But it was true! It was in the Sun!'

Gerrard's wasn't a red? What planet are you living on?

When you slow it down and analyse it, there's not a thing wrong with it. He's in control, he wins the ball and doesn't lead with the studs. Unfortunately I've no faith in the FA to realise this.

Was told of a lad from work that wor Nile is barred from TupTup Palace as he was causing a bit of aggro about the place. I think this is well known anyway, but when the bouncer told him 'Do you not realise youre a footballer and you cant go around acting like that?', he replied 'Am a gangster first, footballer second.'

What happened to kirkland? Looked like he was in a bad way. Edit* concussion. It didnt even look like he hit his heed.

I love that octopus-like thing he does with his legs when he swivels on the ball. Its both hilarious and brilliant!

It was written in the stars this like. Fully deserved his standing ovation and he'll never forget this night. Keep it up and prove us even more wrong.

Some idiot on the SkySports website comparing this signing to that of Alan Smith as that was the last time we signed a player who'd broken a leg. What a gimp.
