If there's one thing Wearside has nailed, it's that any manager with a home record as poor as Bruce's would have been hounded out of NUFC, and a lot of other clubs too, absolutely ages ago. I really think Bruce lives on his Birmingham days, which still weren't that successful when you study it.

Gonna copy that, I think. Odds are good.

nufc.com have a bit explaining about it on the right-side column, I think. Pretty sure they said if there's proof of purchase then it's fine, aye. I kept my ticket cos a steward on the way out was saying we might get refunds or reduced-fee/free entry to another match by way of compensation.

Exchanged my Fiorentina ticket for this. Looking forwards to it.

Deserves a lot of credit for not allowing Smith to go near the pitch. I'd like to think we'd have seen Shane Ferguson in some capacity too, had we not needed to replace Williamson through injury.

He looks like someone's lesbian grandmother. I thought he looked absolutely ridiculous in that bulging Sunderland shell suit he used to prance around in on the touchline, but having seen the cunt spilling out of his suit last weekend, I've come to the conclusion that he's just a fat repugnant lump of shite regardless of his attire. Hilarious tactical manager too. Need a goal? Just throw on all the strikers off your bench and take off the supply line.

I'm glad he has faith in the younger players on the bench. Many managers would bring on shitty 'experience' or make no changes at all. Vuckic and especially Shola Junior changed the game for us.

he is a useless waste of time. sammy is a better bet now

Give the lad a long contract! He's a fucking hero.

I mean, on my way down past the shop tonight, I'll be claiming £4 and probably placing a 50p/£1 bet on the Toon game tonight. I think that's about an acceptable level of claim/spend to not feel awkward about it.

Aye, I often check them online before I head to the shop so I have a rough idea. I told the lass I was quite embarrassed claiming £1.28 or something a few months ago and she said "oh that's nothing, a bloke was in this morning getting 25p back"

Krul R.Taylor Coloccini Williamson Ferguson Obertan Gosling Vuckic Marveaux Ba Best would fucking love to see that (with Sammy getting minutes as a sub), but sadly I expect Lovenkrands and Smith to be in the equation

I much prefer the shop now like, I spend less, and I generally seem to win more often (that's probably co-incidence). I wish sometimes I had the nads to ask the odds, when I stick £1 or 50p on 5 or 6 dead cert teams and get the slip back revealing a win of between £2-3 and I wish I'd never bothered, that's pretty annoying, and quite embarrassing going into the shop just to collect that fucking tiny sum of money.

Scunthorpe was apparently the second choice location for where they were going to film Mad Max.

Oh boy, some straws to clutch at!

About time too.

This thread is nice and optimistic and has me quite pleased, as the Roux fella is seemingly quite the player. Love how negative Dave is in here btw. A real top effort

HT Udinese, FT Draw at 15/1, just a pound

I'd love Dempsey. No chance, mind.

That shitty translation comes out positive.

Battling draw at Swansea, narrow defeat to Chelsea will keep him there IMO.

What was the 11 he started?
