West Ham is after Chicarito. Release clause at 13 mill. A steal in today's market.

He could be the scorer of Sunderland's last PL goal for quite a while.

I really like Durmisi, having watched him playing for the national team and Brondby. He is a very hard-working and aggressive LB. He loves to dribble, set-up a one-two and shoot. I would think he is not as capable defensive as offensive, but I can't really remember his defending. €10M does seem a bit high for him, but probably todays market.

Just saw that their odds of promotion is 9/2. Also Villa is the favourite.

None of this feels real to me untill we get a strong enough link, for it to get its own thread. I really can't wait for that thread

I would love us to get Dollberg from Ajax! He is rumoured to almost every big club in Europe, but has just talked down going to Manchester United or City, since "it is important to keep playing". He will probably cost too much for many clubs, so maybe Rafe+playing time could get him.

If Hull, mackems and smoggies goes down, with the teams going up and villa+norwich staying down, this might actually be one of the most likable premier leagues in a lot of years. For me personally there is not really going to be any clubs outside the current top 6 that I dislike, and a lot of clubs with decent history/fans as well.

I love that Villa goal - a complete drop from the keeper and then the entire defense slowly falling to their knees in despair. I feel for hughton though.

Not from the Newcastle, but I would actually rather have them in the PL to be able to beat them twice a year. Especially after our recent history against them. Let's just beat them for a couple of seasons, then they can vanish into obscurity.

now that you mention it. The fans will certainly be cheering against their own side just to spite us

That is funny

If this result stays it will make for a great last round! They will still have all the pressure on them.

Draw is (almost) the same as them losing. Yeah there's no difference is there? Apart from GD which is irrelevant as ours is far superior. Well I they lose both and we draw, we are champions. But since we will certainly win draws does not matter.

Draw is (almost) the same as them losing.

Promotion will be a great achievement and all that mattered imo. This is a tough league! Have anyone noticed how Villa and Norwich are doing? Were we really much ahead of them when we went down, if we do not take the manager into consideration? My primary disappointment have been that not many of the younger players have really broken through, but I blame that more on the players themselves than Rafa.

Shitty game. Shitty ref. Shitty goal

The amount of mistakes on each side is staggering.

Defense and Darlow seems shaky as shit so far.

I really hope not, as I'd hate to see Hughton miss it again.

Cardiff...

YEAAH :)

we'll win this still. would give my left testicle to watch this.

YEESS!!

Good call ref!
