Phew!

Blackburn? Blackburn Rovers? This Larsson kid is a mentalist....

Ohhhhhh fuck right off with this. Bothroyd is shit-a-palooza.

My worry is Pardew. Chris Hughton was here for the 5-1, knows how bloodthirsty they are and knows what the rivalry is like. I'd trust him to prepare the lads well, whereas we don't know if Pardew saw the 5-1 or has a clue about how intense our derbies are. Its the same fear I get about foreigners playing in it for the first time. Hopefully its just pessimism and he does alright.

Actually feeling really relaxed about this derby now. Nobody can take away our great day last Halloween - as long as they don't slaughter us back, although if we're capable of a 5-1 they are too. But I think the strong personalities in our squad (Nolan, Jose, Barton, Carroll) won't let that happen. They'll beat us obviously, but we'll put up a lot more fight than they did. Gosling is a massive risk, but to be honest its a much better option than Smith or Guthrie. At least playing Gosling has a chance of paying off!

The Sessegnon and Hammill deals are frustrating, like. Strange to see Yakubu at Leicester too.

A new striker, an Enrique contract and I'm quite happy like. A back up left back or midfielder will be a bonus.

you're gonna be disappointed on sunday

really don't get good vibes about this guy. i wonder who #3 on the list is....

yeah thats the upside. but pessimism is a monster....

Fucking Blackpool Was really banking on them to get relegated but thats them totally safe now. Also, if Liverpool picked up some form they might have helped stop Sunderland finish in the Top 7.....so that is probably over too. With Blackpool staying up now, this relegation scrap is VERY interesting.

Awww man, I always thought I'd thought #2 up by myself

Just noticed the news. Absolutely mental decision.....theres so much corruption in football.

thats the same logic that dumped James Perch on us!

Your halved home kit from a couple of years ago is one of my favourite all-time kits

Hmmmm haven't seen BEN BEN BEN ARFA round here tonight - coincidence? Anyways, I think I'm in love. Sweet dreams, mimi xx

Ameobi's 2nd vs Sunderland should've won

this last page ....also, as a male i think its only fair that i throw my hat into the ring. Hi mimi!

Messi deserves it, definitely. He's just phenomenal at the moment and his goal record is scary. I really love Xavi too, its a shame they couldn't both win it!

so maradona has been offered a job which isn't available yet? and he knows about this a month in advance? i thought only mike ashley knew how to do that.....

Had a dream that Charlie Adam joined Spurs last night.....frightening! For that price I'd like to buy him but even if someone else does, Blackpool would plummet without him - so not exactly bad news. We really should be doing all we can to get Vela, it makes so much sense that it hurts!

dbent sounds really needy. thats a few rtg references he's made now...

unless his legs are physically unattached to his torso, carroll will play.
