Fucking Chelsea. Hate them.

Fucking hell, Lampard.

Didnt you suggest Anita as an alternative? I thought HF's point was just that we dont have a striker on the bench of a better quality than Shola, hence pointing to squad depth. Shola seems to come on in response to us playing it long, not the other way round. If that is the case then bringing on Anita would be odd. As for your point about how wonderful the arguments have been on here, surely the end of the season, with all the stats, facts and figures to hand is a good time to reflect on whatever has been said before? I find it incredibly farfetched to think that Pardew sees us resorting to long ball and hoys Shola on to utilise it, and I'm amazed you don't. Players panicking and reverting to a style that isn't historically suited to them individually when a goal up or drawing just seems like absolute rubbish to me. It's far more feasible that the instruction comes from the bench.

There's not much of a level of confirmation there at all, though, given the relative absence of any context. True, what else can we add to it? You'd have to weight it against teams played against. And also the period of the game that the player was on the pitch for. I think more goals are scored towards the end of the game for example and we're not comparing players that have played 90 minutes at a time in every case.

That's what she said.

Not many on the list I saw that were better. Ben Arfa vs Villa and Cisse vs Southampton (which isn't an option either) are both better. Cisse's isn't on the list? That's easily the best goal we scored this season.

This season was a waste of time, the Championship season was great and I got on about 25% better with my girlfriend during that time period.

Fenham Mag is proper original, an absolute pioneer.

GOLF ANYONE? Count me in you fucking trifle. No need for that like.

It's all about money and fear and knowing your place these days. Do you not think that's a canny belittling thing to say? A bit I suppose. I do think that's the crux of it though, people are terrified of doing a Leeds because these days when you fall off the edge you can really fall a long way.

It's all about money and fear and knowing your place these days.

"Grandad, were you at the Cup Final when we won our first trophy in 58 years?" "Yes, child..." "Well you got relegated 3 days later you fucking mug, HARRRRRRRRRRR".

Get in!

Not really, I'm that fed up with never having anything to truly celebrate. If I could get a ticket for the final it's a no-brainer.

Cup.

I think the joint Villa-Sunderland badge deserves another airing if Wigan win today. There was a joint badge? Aye, it was a total cringe crest.

Well summarised.

It's been even worse than when I get involved, stay clear.

Yep, that sounds like a pair of mutually exclusive concepts alright.

Love that track.

Changing my work password to incorporate the words "Pardew" and "Out" doesn't seem to have had the desired effect yet then.

It's not like.

LOWLIGHTS MORE LIKE.

They can't be so stupid to keep him on, I still can't buy into it. Before Sunderland I'd have thought they'd have been pissed off after having tried to bail him out in January, if they're still willing to retain him after those 2 monumentally shameful home performances and nowt impressive beyond them then I give up. They can't be watching properly.
