Tiotes Witch Doctor

Not that it matter that much in the grand scheme but I think we've missed a trick not giving it to Mitro, would have really spurred him on I think. Again its just a number at the end of the day but Gayle does not fit no9 for me either. All the best to him though of course.

Mbemba has to start surely?

I'm genuinely fascinated to see the starting lineup and even who will be on the bench, nice to have options. Got a feeling he might have Diame in no10 and put Perez wide left. I really want to see Aarons play though, I might have mentioned that a few times.

Big, powerful, strong in the air, good shot. Added bonus in that he idolized Shearer. Just the better fit for that shirt. Gayle is not a #9 player. So you reckon he will score more goals than Gayle I take it with all that praise? All that praise? I just pointed out his strengths. Gayle might very well score more goals, but he's still not a #9 player. Agree.

Happens at every club when they lose a player though, hes suddenly the worst player ever, pretty much the "hes shit anyway" attitude. He might very well be shite and loads have said he is but as long as he does a job as a squad player I'll be happy, hopefully Rafa can work with him and improve him too.

Aye but how big is his nearest river? If he's rocking a 50km tadpole then that explains a lot. Dare you to PM him asking that very question

Not gonna happen tbh. Sels Janmaat Lascelles Mbemba Dummett Ritchie Diame Sissoko Aarons Perez Mitrovic

Think I'm starting to agree with Dave

We really really don't need a left back like

99 problems and an injury is all of them.

They should change the name of BBC Newcastle to BBC Tyne & Wear apparently http://www.readytogo.net/smb/threads/bbc-radio-poopcastle.1259298/

Also would have liked someone to ask about what he thinks of Anita and what his role will be, his thoughts on Aarons and also if he thinks the likes of Gouffran, Riviere, Thauvin etc... can play a part.

Think he was effectively laughing off the Barca link, can't see there being any substance, could be away in Jan though if he does well, worrying.

Literally about 20 minutes worth of calls in that hour. What a fucking shithouse Lowes is and that station, fuck off. Rafa though.

Still a small glimmer of hope in the Knockaert deal, I thought it was already dead and buried.

We've got fans talking shite and Mick Lowes asking him what kind of toothpaste he uses, what a nightmare.

I'm all for a bit of Rafa love but this is getting cringey as fuck now. Ask him some proper questions man ffs!

Sunderland fan alert.

STOP TALKING ABOUT MOYES

Wish Lowes would stop talking. Just let Rafa present the show.

Hoping its Mitro personally, could be the making of him.

Left wing back

What do you think about the weather Rafa, 15 celcius? Good temperature I'd say what about you?
