Their team is going to "meh" the opposition to death.

Seen reports that the deal for O'Shea, Brown and Gibson was £11m transfer fee. If Gibson is supposedly valued at £5m, does that make it £6m for for those two? ...yes.

Been hacking his phone too?

You know what I like about you, Sewelly? Absolutely fuck all.

I really don't know where you got this idea from. I seem to remember talking to you about Newcastle when I first met you so I assume you took it that I was a Newcastle fan. And aye there are a few actually, a bizarrely high amount. This town has good taste. Need to go into the town with your cousin? (the Everton fan) btw, he sounds like he likes a drink or 10.

But I haven't stopped making stuff up ffs. Actually I honestly thought you said you used to be one. Ah well.

If anyone's interested, I can show you all the sights and sounds of Darlo. We have pubs. Like, actual, real pubs with actual alcohol. It's great. Ahead of the times.

Similar to you, really. After all, you were an Everton fan, weren't you? 2 can play at peddling bullshit.

I take that as a highly offensive comments. We've got cous cous and everything.

Meh, watched Everton since a young age. Went to Darlo matches as well as a bairn, just chose Everton. At the time, they were hardly an improvement.

Yeah, why don't you come down here then and say it to my face? We could have Pimm's!

"Arsene, did you get my written transfer request?" "Non. I did not, err, see it."

"Arsene... I don't know how to tell you this but... I mean.. not to be rude or anything.. and I know how much you've helped me.. but.. err.. ahem... I err...."

O'Shea's a decent signing IMO, he'll do alright for them but it's interesting to see how he fares with vastly inferior players around him than what he's used to.

Where from?

Surely you'd play Bardsley? He was pretty much your most consistent player last season.

Completely knacked isn't he?

Argies play tomorrow, whey 01:45am So like tonight... if you know what I mean? Against Colombia, might stay up for that like. Might do the same, though it better have a goal every 4 minutes.

DER FROM MAN U!!!

Just truly... average. Middle of the road. Mediocre. Meh. They'll win enough to stay out of trouble, they won't win enough to progress. Simple as that. Actually, lose Gyan (sold without replacing or injured) and they'll definitely be finishing lower than 10th.

Are Sunderland just hell bent on creating the most average team ever?

Aye, though did I read correctly that the April one is at your place? First time in a while it's been that way round isn't it?

True, but equally I wouldn't expect Barca to be on top of their game. Could see Malaga getting a draw. 4-0 to Barca it is.

Not the easiest opening fixture for your lot VI, interesting to see how Malaga will look.

Betis vs. Sevilla first day!
