I liked it when he said "Not only has he gone behind my back, in front of my face, he's lying".

It's an outrageous waste of time.

No fucking way.

They'll be fine in the league now IMO, it's tight down there (they're 6 points off 10th) and they're on more of an upward curve than most of the sides down there.

It was my question, Perch counts. I just meant non-youth player, like not including players that aren't going to play for years.

I basically meant that I wasn't including Olivier Kemen tbh.

Mugs.

Got Jonas, Harper, Simpson, Perch and Ranger off the wage bill, which is probably about £100k/week. Probably just about cancels out Remy's loan fee/wages.

Let's see if their performance is anywhere near as humiliating as ours was, then it's maybe the same.

I'd assume never. If it happens then it's quite clear what Kinnear's mandate is, take the flak for a few quid.

When was the last time we went 2 transfer windows without a permanent first team signing?

Fucking minging.

And still other clubs manage to get to quarter finals, semi finals, finals and even win cups. Sure, someone has to win the cup. We might win one sometime. I'm sure if we made some decent progress in the FA Cup we would start playing stronger sides. That doesn't mean the point I made isn't correct. We wouldn't have even had to have given 100% to get further in the cups the last few seasons, nowhere near.

So you and Ian basically disagree then, sort it out between yourselves.

Dunno mate, do you?

Sorry, I was being a bit uncharitable actually as I forgot about our Europa run last year, which was a canny effort and about par for what I'd expect or perhaps even a round further. Still feel like the negative tactics 2nd leg against Benfica weren't necessary though - you'll never convince me that a 20 minute blast beats a concerted 90 minute effort as an approach because that's not the way I look at football.

There are different levels of rubbish - I can recall various quarter finals, semi finals and finals we've got to since I was old enough to start following the club. I think Pardew has had 7 chances now and we've never made it past the second hurdle.

That's fucking outrageous, he's expected to put up with racist abuse and not try to stop it because of a mistake he made 20 years ago?

I'm not, personally.

We're f***ing busy. wrong thread I guess Sorry.

We're fucking busy.

Cheer for Sunderland in the final. It'll be a wake up call if they win. It wasn't a wake-up call when Middlesbrough won.

As someone who has been prattling on about us taking the cups seriously since I was about 10, I'm ever so slightly peeved.
