I read some Sunderland fans blaming this current money-strapped predicament on these two 'mercenary' players yesterday (Djilobodji & Ndong) Blood sucking leeches apparently. Of course it's nothing to do with the club officials who agreed the transfers & contracts for them both, which the Sunderland fans were subsequently very happy about. Nah, players' fault for signing the contracts.

Love Mitrovic, and he's obviously a very good striker who will likely move on from Fulham for a hefty fee in a few years. However, we have (ish) Solomon Rondon now, and he's gonna light this season up for us, I can feel it.

you do know we're talking about José Mourinho right? the man utd manager Indeed, we somehow ended up with Rafael Benitez, the Real Madrid manager - so I wouldn't be ruling anything out. Especially as his (Jose's) stock falls somewhat. You're out of your mind. I wouldn't rule out an Allardyce / Sherwood combo. Either Manager / Assistant or Hippo Head as DoF. Tbh I'd have been out of my mind to believe we could have Benitez in charge a few years ago. As I said, Mourinho's stock is falling, maybe he goes elsewhere after Man Utd, likely abroad, and then perhaps he winds up somewhere like here towards the very latter stages of his career. It's not beyond the realm of possibility is all I'm saying.

Couple of years too soon I reckon, but I've felt for years now that Mourinho will end up in charge here at some point.

Ngl when I see that top I do actually think of the Soham murders before Beckham or Van Nistelrooy for instance. I was the same age as the two girls & the pictures of them in a similar top was sort of burned into my memory. That said I reckon the fact we used to get regularly concede 3/4/5 goals against Utd back then meant I didn't hold on too firmly to the memory of it.

They should weld a statue of it onto Bobby's or Shearer's shoulder outside the ground. Nice touch imo. @LeeMarshall9

Yup, Silva all day. Boycotting that poll though, severe lack of hoss.

What's it's name? James Perched

As if a steward would do anything if you approached them to report an issue (not that they should mind, don't think their job is report maintenance issues with the ground when there's 50,000 people to look after)

Didn't realise he was back in the Wales squad. (obviously didn't read the above post)

Just look for the person doing this on one of the tables when you walk in. You're a bonny lad KI, why were you seeing that lass from the Sage? (it's a joke, it's a joke)

What are your thoughts on this VI, as a Catalan (presumably)?

Awful.

Interpretation of rules seem to change from game to game, and from ref to ref anyway, so I don't think it particularly matters that VAR will be used in some games and not others. If anything it will help to show how glaringly necessary it is, and how the games it will be used in will be more enjoyable knowing more correct decisions are being made.

Shelvey & Dubravka are equally as good and as important to us as Lascelles imo. I don't know a goalkeeper I would/we could replace Dubravka with, his game is complete and he seems like a good man too. I like Oblak for AM, but that's the level we're talking for someone better than our goalkeeper.

Yup Man I hope something gives. This club literally needs this man.

Hardly surprising imo, he's looked pretty awful whenever he's turned out for us in recent years (albeit not much - although in preseason he was absolutely dire). Not convinced he will ever be a PL footballer, but best of luck to him wherever his career goes from here, the City & Palace games are pretty memorable ones thanks to him.

We tried that once

Used to think he was class when I watched more oversees football & more champions league, don't know if he's still any good like.
