Doctor Zaius

Thread I think the 'looking for number 5' came from when they started and 'Looking for Eric' had not long been out (2009 fwiw). But even then, that film isnt a documentary, its just a film with Eric Cantona in

He's hanging the players out to dry there like but i'd have so much more respect for him if he admitted in some shape or form that he got it wrong today. "You can talk about tactics or whatever...." Your fucking tactics is what cost us today. The way you set your team out was wrong and your opposite number well and truly did you over. One of my Sunderland supporting mates was saying how its never his fault, he never admits any sort of culpability for how his team performs and its bang on.

They've sacked off doing the film altogether didnt they? Basically said they didnt realise how hard it was to make a documentary and that they could no longer be arsed

alrite Pards. I was wondering which muppet would come up with something like this. Defending, to some degree, is part and parcel of a wingers job. Yes, to a degree, but we should have competent full backs able to compensate for it Not many full backs can deal with an overload created by the winger failing to track their wing back though, as was the case today. In all fairness though ASM isnt a wide midfielder that suits 442 and we were always going to get over run playing that 'system'. A semi decent manager would have recognized that.

This is the worst I've seen us play in a long time. So bad all over the pitch.

Needs to learn to track his runner like. The game isn't all forward runs and creativity like. You have to do the dirty work too.

Absolutely pathetic decision that second one. He's not being picked up by defenders because he's fucking miles offside. That's why he's fucking active. Absolutely mental how the fucking powers at be have ruined this sport like. Ridiculous.

VAR is absolutely ruining football like. Not a penalty today, not a penalty yesterday either. Fucking pathetic.

Why do people bother to host illegal live football streams? Do they make a decent amount of money from the ads? Surely the ones that use the likes of acestream dont, so is it just a fuck you to the TV companies? I mean credit to them like, but it seems more hassle than it'd be worth unless there was financial gain.

Absolutely love hearing that podcast get slated for having woeful craic like Being a good writer doesn't necessarily make you a good orator, nor does it mean you have the persona or humour to excel on a light hearted podcast. I've found some terrific football writers to be woefully boring through the medium of podcast.

£173,000 is owed to a former manager for a promotion bonus from the National League. He was owed £200k but £27,000 had already been paid. That seems ridiculously high? £200k promotion bonus to the manager of a non-league club? That does seem mad. Was in Macclesfield working for a few weeks last year. Not a bad town really. Sorry to see their troubles Aye, I've been to Macclesfield and it's alright. One of those places that sounds like it'd be a shithole just from the name.

Aye, the ramble has gone to shit. Best thing about it was the fact that they've done it for years together and as such it seemed effortless, was just four mates chatting about football. Now it seems forced, the patter is terrible and not in a good way. No need to have it every day too, content seems stretched. Think I might bin it off unless it goes back to just the four of them again.

Hendrick in ahead of Almiron is pathetic like

Anyone think Gillespie will start? Was first choice for an Motherwell last season tbf, i'm not even sure Darlow would get in n SPL side.

My Dad is a Blues fan How does this happen? A lad I know his father is a Spurs fan yet he's an Arsenal fan. I simply wouldnt have been allowed to support Sunderland like. I'd probably have gotten away with supporting someone else but not Sunderland. Yeah but this city has 3 clubs in it, families are split, too. Ah fair enough, I guess its more polarized up here with Newcastle and Sunderland being one club cities.

Gonna nail my colours to the mast and say I don't think we'll go down. That team is good enough to stay up and proboably kick on towards the top half with a good manager. We'll scrape around 15th imo.

Whos setting up the league then?

Someone on twitter said he looks like all of The Strokes at once.

I always find the opposite argument weird- sir bobby is no mug and wouldn’t have someone completely football brain dead as his assistant Bobby also had Mick Wadsworth as his number two before Carver. I’d suggest he had a little bit of a blind spot imo. Also had Mourinho like

I thought we were knocked out under Robson? 1860 Munich was it? I think we won it when Parker was here, there's a picture of him holding the certificate looking glum

Thought Diamanti was absolutely class on his day

John Carver in Wylam, was sat on the table opposite me. Even more prune like in person. Sat and watched him lick his lips for a while.
