Willy Boly it or willy place it, that's the question

Was having a chat with a guy I met recently, and we got talking about football. He asked who I supported and when I said NUFC, his reply was, "you lucky b******"! I asked him who he supported, and he went on for about 20 minutes trying to justify why he supported Sunderland. Apparently went to uni there, and met his wife to be, who was a Mackem, and promised to support Sunderland for life if she went out with him. Rues the day apparently As far as the game is concerned, I hope the new lads truly understand what a win would mean to us, and I'm relying on the likes of Coloccini, Krul and Tiote to make sure we don't slack whatsoever. High scoring game, with the lead changing back and forth, and a 4-2 win to us eventually. Ba, Cisse x2, Simpson to score.

Thanks S Korea for posting that win. Means Lebanon reach the final round of qualifiers for the first time in our history despite going down 4-2 in the UAE KSA knocked out at this stage has me feeling very good

Cyprus: Big derby yada yada Not as big as Liverpool - Everton or Manchester derby yada yada (which they never seem to fail to mention when talking about the Tyne-Wear) They also always like to remind the viewers that cypriot legend Nick Papavasiliou "starred" for Newkkasol, as did legendary cypriot league player and coach Temuri Ketsbaia.

Just noticed Cisse in that

Never really realized how much of a knob jockey Reina is. He refused to give Cardiff any credit yesterday and kept saying that they deserved the win and that the best team had won

Better be unbelievable love! My first trip to St. James (to watch us vs Reading in the Championship in 09) cost me about 3k sterling in total for 2 days

Just been watching the highlights of Tiote against Man Utd. and fuck me! Absolutely monumental performance from him that night. Completely dismantled Man Utd's attack. My how we've missed him! Welcome back son. Looking forward to some Cheik buzzing around in midfield again.

Who's wearing 45 in the training pics? Is it Dummet?

Bread Friedel

Daniel Stirridge

dodged a bullet there?

Bloody hell. Who does a club like Wolves have to choose from? Bruce?

For real? I best check

Hope Man Utd truly trounce the scouse shite and send Suarez home in tears.

Any more proof needed that Suarez is a massive cunt of the highest order?

Good to see Darren Fletcher out and about. One of the few likeable footballers and a very good player.

Dalglish "mentality's never been a problem for Luis Suarez", like he's some sort of mythical demi god. He's mental alright

That was so contrived. You can see it was hard work for him to smile and claim he loves it there and loves going into training every morning

With an expectationometer.

Fuckin hell f***ing hell what?! That Big Sam is a better manager than Pardew? Look at their records man I know he's hated here but Allardyce is a very good manager who always gets the best out of his sides/clubs. Why Blackburn sacked him I do not know, they would comfortably be sat in mid-table right now. Allardyce gets results. West Ham will go up under him, guaranteed, and if they keep him, they'll stay up, guaranteed. Pardew is a gamble that is working right now but you just know under him it could go massively wrong, like it seems to have done at all of his previous clubs. So you don't think it's at all possible that someone like Pardew could have learned from his previous mistakes and has now become a better manager than he was over all, as his previous record suggests? This notion that "previous record" determines your level at present is ridiculous, and it goes for players and managers. It's all about the present.
