Deuce

I do think quite a few have greatly underestimated the strength of this league (some going so far as to put money on us going undefeated, which is totally asinine), based largely on our experience from 2009/10. It's not remotely the same league it was even six years ago: the PL doesn't exist in a vacuum, its good fortunes do somewhat trickle down. These are teams that are gonna play us tough and push us around. We may yet go on a roll and I think we've got both the quality in the squad and the right man to lead it. But these early results don't really surprise me all that much.

Are you being serious with the Benitez/Pardew comparison son? Yes I am. In fact the turgid stuff served up in the 1st 2 games has been a lot more negative than Pardew. At least Pardew didn't play Anita RW for a full game. For that alone Rafa should fuck off back to Liverpool. There is an institute people like you can go to you know. Cambridge?

Could it have feasibly fallen low enough to *squints at cuecard* leave the ... atmosphere?

We need quality. Too many of our signings have been bang average (if not all of them), if we get promoted the likes of Diame & Ritchie aren't good enough for the EPL. Sign some quality. No more championship journey men. The same Ritchie that is just coming off the back of a good season in the PL? And Diame who was one of West Ham's better players a few years back.

Some massively fickle dickheads among our fan base

He absolutely deserves the benefit of the doubt given that past achievement

Don't refer me to him please, I'm better than that. Refer? I think you mean compare Nees.

Neesy

To be fair, I've never been massively comfortable with the idea of you and Neesy representing the rest of us in real life, like.

World of fucking rats, Fwancis

Hayden with Diame and Shelvey ahead of him IMO

Spotted a ginge walking down the street sporting that green dafabet Sunderland kit today. In the middle of Bumfuck Nowhere, Pennsylvania, had to do a double take.

My first ever home game. We lost. Be thankful you also didn't lose your home, to a fire. Like the Shrewsbury Town lion.

Class because it's unique. Shit because it's, well, shit.

Good job he's not ruining every thread by constantly posting s**** Did Greg just respond to himself through joey

See now this little incident *should be* well down the list of grievances due to its utter irrelevance. Like hating Stalin for his choice of pomade.

Step 1: Lift toilet lid Step 2: Throw money directly into toilet

It's Gary Gardner not Craig if you were unaware http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_md13h3vcsi1rp73x6o1_500.jpg

Yup. Yup.

like he's returned for a testimonial

I normally hate the "X club must finish Top 4" when the same is also said about 6-7 other clubs, but there's really no excuse for them. Much as I'd love to see Mourinho and that club fall flat on their faces.
