Love that What's the story behind this one?

What's with the the people in the main stand dressed in white to make the T-Mobile T? Takes advertising in football to a stupid new level.

Also, Muntari is obviously much better than Tiote simply because he has more medals.

See they're starting to turn on Agent Shambles.

No we couldn't, would've been a point behind.

After shit loads of poor officiating this season we get done over by one bit of good officiating. Fucking linesmen.

So close!

Kuqi just wrestled down in box. No pen.

KUQI TIME

Ben Arfa in the stand.

Phew, Nolan off line.

These subs might just work despite how mad they sound. Extra bodies in the defense with Ranger and Best up top in the hope of snatching something on the break.

same Same here, went down just after the Jose cross.

Looks somewhat disinterested. he'll start playing ass soon as he gets over the amusement of having Elmander on his wing. If he's anything like me, give him until half time

Lovely corner from Raylor, no-one there though.

Chicken dance! Chicken danced for a second then realised who it was against and stopped.

is so, so much more the a DM. What a player.

No. Barca have had Leon dressed as Messi for the past 10(?) years. We managed to succesfully recover him this week.

Pardew, clearly not content with the their wives only, has moved on to trying to chat up the players. http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5097/5477007868_37b62a68c0.jpg

No wonder he had a face like your avatar in the press conference then.

Aye but he'd be calling in the debt from himself which would be a pointless exercise unless we start making massive profits which isn't going to happen any time soon. And everyone knows our accounts are going to be poor for the Championship season. It was the shock of how unexpectedly poor yours were. Our accounts will be from our worst season for years while yours are from your best.

Your right, but your issuing more and more shares to a club that is still worth £60m for example. It's a bit like qualitative easing, the Bank of England has been printing money into the economy which makes every note you earn less worthy. If sunderland continue like this they are on the road to ruin. So because Sunderland aren't a PLC and have one owner who assumes 100% control it is put simply, a personal loan that has been worded in a more fancy manner than the way Ashley does it? And the mackems fall for it as they fail to see past this fancy wording. Totally and completely, utterly wrong. The money Short has written off(close to £60m at last estimates) cannot be recovered by Short,I will repeat this again,THEY CANNOT BE RECOVERED BY SHORT,this is the facts. I love the fact you are comparing Ashley to Short,it's incredible in all honesty.Mike Ashley, still at last accounts had a £111m loan that needs repaying to him from NUFC at some point,that is not just going to disappear you know and Short has no loan at all like that at SAFC. Ashley or Short...hmmmmmm it's a no brainer mate. Neither can Ashley though unless he finds a buyer. I'd imagine it's similar with Short, when he goes to sell he has to sell these 'extra shares' which have been converted from loans so the value of them is added to the value of the club. Similarly to when Ashley tries to sell, the value of the loan will be added to the value of the club. No? Also, I never at one point said Ashley > Short just that you are quick to call him for a similar practise to what you applaud Short for. No,you are wrong and there is a big difference. Ashley's is a loan that can be called in at any point he wishes and that £111m debt is a debt against NUFC,while Short has converted the debt at SAFC into shares meaning that debt can never be held against us even if things went wrong. In simple terms NUFC still have a big debt against the name while SAFC don't. Debt is not a major thing though as long as it's managed right,look at Man Utd heavily in debt according to last accounts but it's a 'manageable' debt due to the revenues they have coming in. So Ashley has paid off our debt and converted it into a personal loan to the club which he will expect to be returned when the club is sold. Short on the other hand has paid off your debt and converted into share value which he will expect to be returned when the club is sold. Sounds like it all comes down to nothing more than being worded differently to me.

Dave Whelan may have put Brucie off Whelan — who is renaming Wigan’s ground the DW Stadium from next season after his new business venture, through which he has bought the fitness clubs from JJB, his former company — is angered by the behaviour of Ashley, who is a stakeholder in JJB and runs Sports Direct. “I don’t trust him as far as I could throw him,” Whelan said of Ashley. “He’s got what he deserved at Newcastle. Newcastle are a very big club and you don’t go in there and lower all the standards. He turns up wearing a replica top in the boardroom. No class whatsoever. The minute he arrived there and turned up in the boardroom in a replica shirt and jeans and a pair of trainers, the club was gone.” Whelan maintains that there is no chance of Bruce working for Ashley at Newcastle. “I don’t think you will ever get Steve Bruce going to a club that is run the way Mike Ashley runs it,” Whelan said. “He knows he could go and he knows he could go to Newcastle. Would he go? No chance. I don't doubt it but I've never seen such a logical move in football management (in recent times) not even attempt to happen. Shep tried to get him once while he was at Brum. I was always keen on pre-SAFC. Was that not because he'd literally been at Brum a couple months? He too was definitely very keen on us.
