Bobby would be proud.

Couldn't care less. Just get it sold. Marley would do a better job than this ape.

They are my pick. Written off before the season had even kicked off. If they can keep everyone fit then they're going to be difficult to beat.

Roeder revenge? We've probably got it coming.

People don't hang about, do they.. You think that's fast? You should see them when they're breaking into his house.

Surprised they let him in.

And the point of that would be? other than allowing the makems screaming "where were you when you were s***" at us should we get promoted.. Leave the protests to the b****** tree huggers.. I've renewed my season ticket regardless of what the club does.. and will continue to support the squad regardless. So are you saying nobody should bother going to matches and supporting the team? Supporters support through thick and thin. That's all. I'd be providing my support by trying to get rid of a cancer at the club. Giving Ashley reason to stay by lining his pockets doesn't prove anything other than he's right when he thinks he can do what the f*** he wants and we're daft enough to just go along with it. So Cristian do you have a season ticket? I guess not because it would be foolish for us that do to stay away and give them up, once the club is on the up and the fair weather fans decide they want back myself and many more would probbably have to wait for one to become available, If you honestly believe that staying away would deter Ashley then do so. I support my team through the good times and the bad, it's like a marriage and we take our vows. We held protests and got the point across, staying away would only serve to be detrimental to both our club and it's players. Giving Ashley reason to stay is what is detrimental to the club. Not spending any more money has minimal effect in comparison to the piss-poor running of the place. And don't get me wrong, I'm not saying don't support the team. If you've all ready paid for your season ticket then fair enough. All I'm saying is to not line his pockets any further. It only takes a little bit of will power. If enough people do it and the fat twat is told exactly WHY they are doing it then hopefully he'd be bright enough to cut his losses and fuck off. I admire your romantic notions about "supporting through and through" ... but it's not relevant. I'm not saying go away and support Sunderland. Just stop putting any money into the club. I also thought the flippant comments about protests in general were fairly ignorant. Protest is part of the reason you're not living in an overtly oppressive society.

And the point of that would be? other than allowing the makems screaming "where were you when you were shit" at us should we get promoted.. Leave the protests to the bastard tree huggers..

So predictable... yet we keep falling for it. It's hard to know who is thicker, him or us?

Fucking ridiculous! Hughes is horrendous! Turning English football into a shambles! They'll break the top 4, mind.

Any lookers?

Supercoppa I'm guessing.

Ashley knows he is out of his depth.

I'm sure Pepe's brute force/kick them while they're down method would work a treat.

Inter 1 - 1 Bari Deserved point for Bari. Inter by far superior but rarely looked arsed. Catania 1 - 2 Sampdoria Cassano ran riot first half. When Catania went a man down there was only going to be one winner, however they left it late. The winning goal came in the 93rd minute and the goalscorer broke his nose in the process. Genoa 3 - 2 AS Roma Good result for Genoa. They troubled Roma throughout. Totti's goal (Roma's second) was either a genius touch or a fluked deflection. Palacio came on at about the hour mark and seemed to take to Serie A immediately. His dribbling and running caused Roma problems and very nearly got on a scoresheet in the last 5 minutes. Juventus 1 - 0 Chievo No surprises. Nice goal by Iaquinta. Diego didn't seem to be fully fit but quality shone through. He didn't last the full 90 minutes but left the pitch to a deserved standing ovation. Lazio 1 - 0 Atalanta Fair result. Atalanta barely had a sniff. Livorno 0 - 0 Cagliari Meh. A couple of freekicks that tested the Cagliari keeper but little else. Palermo 2 - 1 Napoli Daylight robbery. Napoli well and truly mugged. Udinese 2 - 2 Parma Parma did well and the result was perhaps unfair on them but the equalising goal from Di Natale was something special. Everyone who criticises Serie A needs to see that goal then maybe you will understand why people love Italian football despite the sometimes negative and cynical style of play. No doubt the highlights will be up on sportitalia.com tomorrow. Interesting point: all three newly promoted teams; Bari, Parma, and Livoro, all managed draws. Early days yet but Genoa are top of the league.

Does Hughton have all his badges? Are badges even an issue in the championship? Would they then be an issue if we get promoted?

Amauri hits the post from the edge of the area. Great run from Diego to create the chance: ran with the ball from his own half and took on 3 Chievo defenders before squaring it to Amauri.

Quagliarella is supposed to be good. I haven't seen much of him. I've never paid too much attention to Udinese. Most of what I've seen he's been playing for the national side. Other than that he's fantastic on FM. Just missed an open goal. I'm giving everyone the kiss of death tonight.

That Iaquinta goal was unstoppable.

And naturally Palermo go 1-0 up.

Simulcast for the win

Napoli are causing Palermo to shit themselves. Hit the woodwork twice in the last couple of minutes. Hamsik had a goal ruled out for offside 10 minutes ago, too. If he was off then it would have been by millimetres. Really harsh.

Chievo almost gave away an indirect freekick 2 yards out. Shambles at the back. And Iaquinta almost got a second there. Miracle save from the Chievo keeper. Cannavaro is playing like a beast, too.
