God dammit. If nothing else, this week has shown all our modus operandi. "Why hello Siem de Jong, aren't you surprisingly cheap? Just sit tight for a year or so..." "Well goodbye Monsieur Debuchy, wow, hasn't your value just shot up! Ka-ching! I mean, au revoir, miss you..."

And THREE threads about Debuchy! Enjoying the world cup mackems? Jozy was outstanding as usual.....

I'm no mathematicienist, but... http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/mathieu-debuchy-arsenal-transfer-could-3789496 12m in >>>>>> 6m out. Tidy profit for day one of the transfer window.

How is that even possible, pretty sure he's under contract. Its been deleted....looks like some Sky journos employ the RTG method of invented bullsh*t + internet = true

@GraemeBailey Newcastle close to finalising deal for long term target Siem de Jong. Ajax midfielder available on Bosman free. Class act, good signing. Eh?? This is making more sense now....

Whatever gave them that idea?

Aye I'm sure "the bairn's" gutted! Ah haway dad man, thats gonna cost about 60 quid all in.....can I not just have some Lego? Shurrup son, he's representing the lads on a world stage... *ping* Ah, balls.

Good lad. Always wanted to play for us. Jeeeesus.....negotiating with ashley must be like trying to haggle in a Monty Python sketch.... "5 million, I'm robbin' meself"

Aye, just checked over at the special-needs class, their "We're not bothered, who care's, he's sh*t" thread has passed 100 pages of red hot seething apathy!

Canny funny that like, especially as its from the official account. Although it does confirm what we all know about the mackem mindset, bitter small-time f*ckers!

Any clothing featuring camo print is the mark of an absolute sociopath. And probable psycho-in-waiting. Also, look at his f*cking hair. Has he put it on sideways?

I imagine that tartan has some historic significance which the fans (including half my family) will either (a) not get or (b) bore the arse off anyone willing to listen. Either that or its an ad campaign by Magners. whatevz.

To be fair, when Ian Wright described the weather as 'biblical', Hoddle started to have visions of the End of Days and all that stuff he said about the handicapped.

That first picture reminds me of something......

wow I think we should take down the "howay the lads" sign in the tunnel at st James and replace it with this quote While we're at it, can we take down the SJP gates and replace them with those 'Arbeit Macht Frei' ones. Seems more inkeeping with the current regime.

But seriously - Meh. To Jack Colback I say a considered 'Meh'. Cabella offer rejected? Accept colbeck on a free. Not disappointed, not angry just......lowered expectations thoroughly met. Welcome jack, try not to be too mediocre.

How do you let yourself get in such a mess physically? I mean, there must be a day when you look in the mirror and think "hang on, didn't I used to have a chin? Wheres my cock? I really have to switch to margarine...."

Transfer window alight mutch?

Where's Mickey Rourke with his electric whip when you need him?

Would love to stove his heed in. Or pay someone to do it professionally. The c*nt.

I imagine he did...if that painting is anything to go by, perhaps he was curling one out in the away changing rooms of Gethsemane and squatted on a thorn bush. That t-shirt man, why am I not even vaguely surprised? Could easily be altered to read 'The Great Ape' and still be as relevant.

Looks like it. I know living in sunderland must naturally lower your expectations, but they're actively shouting it loud and proud: "We aren't as sh*t as you think!" They'll be bringing out commemorative t-shirts next, mark my words.

Is that meant to be Di Canio next to Jesus? I'm not sure the Catholic church will be very pleased at being associated with such a renowned....actually, never mind.

My in-laws find it hilarious to ask my lad (nearly 5) who he supports..."Manchester". Not city or united, no suffix, just 'Manchester'. And f*ck it, who am I to argue? Let him dream (until I forcibly crush those dreams with a NUFC shaped guilt-hammer in a few years).

Including all sorts of tag-ons, caveats and small print. 60 Million? Aye whatevs. Lying c*nts.
