I feel bad for Bolton. Never should have been relegated if things were fair. They sold Cahill, had Holden and Lee go down with bad injuries, and then Muamba.. That's some terrible luck.

Yup, he's one of my favorite players to watch and seems like a pretty likable character compared to many of the other star players in this league. Hope Chelsea and Mourinho fail spectacularly now.

Cash and Marveaux for Cabella. We don't have to pay full price and Sylvain gets to play with his older brother, everybody wins.

this is shit.

Anyone else getting some weird Amish show instead of the game?

After his completely useless substitute appearance against Arsenal, Shola gets the start?!? It better be Pardew crying out to Ashley for a striker in January.

The title of that article is "Newcastle United looking to add to their squad in January", then he spends the rest of the article ruling people out and explaining why we might not spend in January..

Don't understand the Ben Arfa criticism.. Our most creative player to that point in the game was our RB, someone had to do something since nothing else was happening.

Even Sky noticed!

Yup he doesn't even win us headers anymore, much less offer anything on goal. It's a shame with a few quick fixes we could have a interesting season, instead we will just slide back to 9th.

Shit. The ref sucked. We weren't good enough going forward. A draw would have been fair. Sky are trying to say that Arsenal turned in a champions performance here but I thought they were pretty average.

let him play a full 90 against Cardiff first. He looks promising but getting his first start (of the year) against the league leaders isn't they way to break him in.

Was just going to post this.. He gave it his best shot.

:lol: :lol:

Would have been fine with 15 - 20mill over the summer for him, but now with the team playing so well his price had to have gone up.

They were always going to spend and spend until they got themselves back into the conversation. Fair play to them, I guess. The higher they are now the more entertaining the collapse will be later.

A foreigner probably wouldn't even be named 'Johnny' anyways. Xenophobic bitter cunt.

They are more likely to offer him higher wages, and wasn't that the issue in the summer? I can't really see us doing anything this winter. We are in a comfortable league position and don't have an injury crisis (so far) like we normally would at this time of year. Two great excuses for them not to buy anyone. Perhaps if we move Marveaux or Obertan on we might get someone in.

Adam Campbell ‏@adamcampbell_ 46s Nice of all the Sunderland fans to get in the Christmas spirit and go to the match in fancy dress as plastic chairs

actually pretty enjoyable to watch. we seem to have a few promising players at that level, hopefully we can bring at least one of them through. it's a shame we can't ever show our games if clubs like Barnsley can.
