How pathetic a fee would that be, anyway he's not that daft.

IMO they were perfectly entitled to want better than Pulis, I wouldn't wish Pulis' brand of functional but deathly staying up with no ambition for long on any club really. They had bought players to play better football too The problem was the stupidity of appointing Pardew.

The Shadow Over Sunderland. Didn't realise H.P. Lovecraft had been to the North East. To be fair rather than inspire despair, imminent consumption by an elder god may lighten the place up

To be fair shop stocking NUFC stuff in sunderland has nothing on the Leeds branch of HMV which for the longest time had a massive picture of Brian Clough (as played by Michael Sheen) up, not sure they really thought that through

yeah possibly, but ashley not being prepared to include any relegation clause in deal with staverley will have put off any other investor. The man's an idiot.

anyone wanting to invest is waiting to see if we are relegated or not. No chance of anything between now and end of season.

went to southampton match and now going to this hope i can get a positive streak going...

It's because we're rarely in the opposition box to be fair

Shockingly changing managers so often hurts long term thinking

That Salah goal when most the watford team were in between him and the goal

It's easy to see how he's kept the squad on side despite all the stuff he says in press about needing better players etc

That's just lovely

?s=19 indeed.

He'll stay and may even get them further in the champions league next year. It's odd how managers get so stuck in on a play style that they can't adapt at all but his methods clearly no longer work and only he can't see it, can see him going the way of Wenger stubbornly refusing to change albeit not going to be at a club with that kind of patience. I do think he struggles to get commitment out of players who aren't in the underdog mentality. They have bought poorly for all that money though.

Ashley won't spend, he wants to sell up, any money he can suck up first he will

I think he's fine, could probably do with a better coach to make him more ruthless. If you judge arsenal players as potential league winners they will come up short, but you know very good mid table players

Still can't get over them sacking the chief executive for hiring him and leaving him in place.

Favourite thing that de gea does that would be infuriating for a worse keeper is how often hedoesn't move and lets shots fly very narrowly wide as if he's much more sure it's off target than anyone else in stadium

Speaking of red mists if Mawson had connected that would have been two red cards for them. What are they doing.

wtf was that, he hit me in the face by accident with the ball LETS BREAK HIS LEGS

Southampton sacking Puel for finishing 8th has gone well

I want an upgrade (not going to get ever) he's too inconsistent, not just rid without anyone else in. Still do, I don't think he's consistent enough for a team hoping to do better than scrape along bottom of the premier league. He is capable of being better than that but not reliably. Still, for all that, good game today, hope he keeps it up

Wasn't far off doing that today with that aborted throw that went straight into the turf. Was going to say, managed to miss how that happened, think my brain had looked where the throw was going and then was like wtf. Bit dodgy hope doesn't repeat

Essentially 5 of the teams below us have to get more points than us between now and the end of the season and I think that's now pretty unlikely, some are absolute stinkers of teams. A few have the quality but not enough.
