1964

Jesus, when the Nelson Mandela foundation see that shithole of a city they will be making a donation. Perhaps that's the point it's actually a plea with Marty on the mike at half time screaming 'just give us the fucking money' with a backdrop of Pennywell and live music from The Angelic Upstarts.

Glad I didn't go now

Sorry but there's a little bit of me just died!!

Sorry but what happened to Marveaux? Have problems come to light with his passport and he actually not french enough?

Very impressive, tired in he 2nd as the pace isn't one he's used to but excellent debut

Aye. Baloney ftw And re-sign Pistone

If we get him lets buy Shaun Maloney as his partner, would make beautiful music together in my opinion

Talking to a Liverpool mate of mine who compared the two clubs to actors. We were Mickey Rourke, occasional bouts of brilliance but largely in the press for the wrong reasons but with a lot of charisma. He compared Sunderland to Keanu Reeves, occasionally OK to look at but utterly bland and never anything worthy of more than 5 minutes of attention. Typical arrogant Liverpool but not without a grain of truth. They are just bland, nobody but us can be bothered to hate them and anyone that says they like Sunderland usually only say so because they hate Newcastle. Funny little town.

He's French speaking, get him in

this is FM, ridiculous

And of course they have the odious Nigel 'I'm a geezer' Kennedy as their celeb supporter

Is this a 'now' potential signing or a summer potentual signing??

They should all be squad players, we play Tiote until he gets booked then bring Sissoko on for the final 85 minutes

To be fair to Harry he isn't hanging out his car window, it's just that every time he opens his window his face falls out

Who do you think is partnering Mbiwa?

Williamson's feet are allergic to the ball

I normandy hate these 'pun' threads

I'm bordeaux of this

You utter shower of wannnnkkkkkkkers

By all account Remy had a pen in his hand and was about to sign, there is no way it can be further along unless he is halfway through writing his name. ;D He only had the top off and was questioning why he was using a crappy Sports Direct pen to sign his contract. Dekka told him he could have it free with a pair of territowelling sports socks. At that point Remy spotted Redknapp suggestively rubbing his Mont Blanc, and the rest is history....

well f*** me, he's right What does it say I ca't see aresaboutfacebook

'Not signing anyone has been like a new signing as it has given the lads increased confidence apart from the lad we did sign who wishes he hadn't, he needs a confidence boost and I'm confident that the confidence gained from no signings will help the senior players like Shola in that..... undoubtedly'

Yeah potential to be a great window but I think most fans lack faith that it will be, urgency is needed but I think excuses are being readied, I think a lot would welcome a good old panic buy at this stage. Is this serious?

FFP only counts if you expect to play in Europe doesn't it? Not a likely contingency there.

News just in, Gateshead plan to scupper the transfer and stop him crossing the Tyne in a multi £ offer. Pardew has said it's difficult to compete with the southern sides..... etc. etc.
