Depends what you expect us to do

Woohoo, Wearside is here. Its been too long mate, we've missed you. I love your balanced views, good natured banter and punching skills. (please dont hurt me, please dont hurt me.....)

Heskey and Dunne Can't foresee any disasters there

I knew there'd be some bad news around the corner.....

What the fuck happened to Silva, Nani and Captain Rooney? 23 points with 3 to play, man. Bloody awful stuff.

More excited for this than most other games. Its a combination of hating international breaks, hating Spurs and loving the wave of optimism up here. Whack the game on Sky and it has it all, really.

So much goodness in that article, I genuinely love the guy. But his daughter has a Geordie accent? Priceless. Stay here for life, Colo

Seems like Llambias has lost another bet.

To be fair to Moat, he dominated long spells of Rathband. Reminiscent of Brazil 1970.

Thought exactly the same thing. Surely a few Brazilian teams belong ahead of us.

Remember - its better to be a hanger-on with the champions than to actually play football. A valuable life lesson from the cunt.

CB competent.

Can you still buy that in the shops or is it an online job? Not sure because I bought it online. I'm sure it'll be in a shop somewhere, though.

Aye I got 'The Ball is Round' a few years ago and I've really tried - but theres a lot there. I kinda just stopped reading. When it gets past WW2 it might get more interesting. 'Why England Lose' is a fun read though. Agree about the Lyon section....basically saying that using 'the wisdom of crowds' to sign players has done wonders.

That'll be the magedia though. No way are we bigger than the mighty fucking Sunderland.

Wildcard used, now its business time: Given, Ruddy P Jones, Bosingwa, Kompany, S Taylor, Enrique Silva, Ramsey, Nani, Bannan, Ben Arfa Rooney, Best, Sturridge (until Adebayor is back) BRING. IT. ON.

Reckon he's playing. Thanks

Whats the latest on Adebayor? For fantasy league purposes...

Lets hope he can pronounce the officer's name.

By keeping him, the club are losing money but getting rid means he's won. Its not fair The only fitting punishment is forcing him to Doncaster on loan.

Subbed off. Don't worry lads (and lasses), he's safe.

Booked. Blanc should take him off now, just in case.....

because we aren't on the training ground day in day out to see if ben arfa,marveaux and santon are ready to start yet, also if putting two or three of them in may be a little too disruptive when it isn't a dire necessity. it's not as if they've just missed a game through suspension. for what it's worth i think we'll see the same starting line up as wolves and and that will be the end of that 11's run regardless of the score. I agree that too many changes might backfire, but we know Santon is a better LB than Raylor and that he's ready to be given a try (played for U21s and well for the reserves). Can understand not wanting to split Best and Ba up though.

I hate this idea that we have to lose to bring our good players into the team. Why don't we just pick a team that can beat Spurs? In other words, Santon and possibly Ben Arfa in.

Hmmm, I don't think we play the mackems for a while.
