Pilko

Been some superb clearances and tackles from O'Brien and Bruce.

No Jose, we reckon.

Don't think he'll play, spanish translated: "going home ... had a high fever to play while traveling and at least try. hopefully the team to win today and move on to the next round."

Got a fiver on Becchio scoring.

ITV TITLES FAIL

Maybe they reckon Miller is the new Cascarino?

Space between word and question mark. Fucks sake, man.

I've been thinking this was on Sunday all week. get in.

Apparently Bruce has been convincing players that Sunderland is closer to Newcastle than Newcastle

Aye but so's Shola.

To be fair, last January was like that and everyone (bar Best at the time) turned out to be a good signing, even Hall.

Glenn Whelan?

Bentley's expression is ludicrously punchable. A good player on his day, but I'm seriously glad he's not bringing his ego to the club. http://i.thisislondon.co.uk/i/pix/2011/01/BeckhamBentley_415.jpg is is that?

Cos he's got like 2 or 3 green positions and 3 or 4 orange ones on FM innit.

= we get Larsson, I hope.

I like Cheik, Tackle and Goal.

Stanislas would be ideal, I'm sure he can play on either flank or up front. Bags of pace and energy.

I'd have Noble or Stanislas like.

I think Ferguson will start like. Jonas needs a rest.

I'm not happy with the wingers at all. Routledge is hit and miss, Ben Arfa's injured and Jonas is dog s****. Bentley's a right winger though, yes? Barton is excellent at right midfield, Routledge is s****, but areet for coming off the bench and there's LuaLua to come back in a little while. I agree about Jonas, I wish we were signing a left-sided winger as there's only young Ferguson to compete for that position. What about our last signing? Not much talk of him, but think his name was Ben Arfa or something... I'm hoping Ben Arfa plays off Carroll. He won't even be at full tilt till about August anyway, what (major) use is he till then?

Wright-Phillips is a complete and utter waste of space.

Can't help but feel this is like the Duff signing - strengthening a position that we're more than happy with.

Cisse would be incredibly underwhelming.
