Kid Icarus

Don't think he's in the police, think that was just a story people came up with for why he stopped doing it when it was just because he didn't want the attention he was getting, could be wrong like. I knocked about with him at college at the time he was doing it, really canny, very talented kid.

He definitely looks smug but doesn't sound it too much, whereas someone like Andy Brassell is the opposite I think.

Look at Horncastle man. Sitting there like there's no way we'll solve the riddle he's just set.

Think Chiesa would be my dream signing above everyone else like, love his style.

I know context changes things, but in previous situations where we've been in relegation trouble, if someone said we'd go into the January window, sign Trippier, with Ramsay, Cantwell as potential signings, and a striker in the mix, with Howe as our manager and a few points from safety, we'd have thought we were dreaming. Ramsay and even Cantwell would have been pipedreams under Ashley.

Nah mate, I heard all that. Just before he said all of that he said it had been narrowed down to 2 clubs then spoke about Villa and Liverpool. If those aren't the 2 clubs he was on about then it seems like an odd way to phrase it

The article? I'm literally watching their Transfer Show live where they just said that Villa and Liverpool were the 2.

Course he could. Guaranteed starter and Gerrard and Perslow are there.

SSN reckon the final 2 were Villa and Liverpool and that Villa seems more likely at the moment.

SSN saying we're after Cantwell. He's never really done anything for me. His play's nice on the eye but that's about it.

The media team will have been watching final cut tutorials all day

I'll believe it when I see him in The Black Garter drinking a FUCKING PINT

Traore's not even a bad footballer it's that I've never ever seen a player as bad as him for turning to shit as soon as it comes to playing the final pass or finishing. It's almost impressive to see a player dribble past 2 or 3 players, play a 1-2, then perfectly pass the final ball to an opposition defender. He's been like that everywhere I've seen him, if Conte turned him into a wing back with a good final ball he'd immediately be one of the best out there.

His first full 90 minutes since October. Definitely worth asking about. Maybe we have, who knows.

Posted this before, but if we're looking for a proven Premier League striker who's not playing and has the right attitude, look no further than Danny Ings.

I'll take a morning of this over the actual decade of "this cunt signed yet" we had. and ahuh ahuhuh, apparently we've offered them a curlywurly and a 20p mixup but they're holding out for some monster munch!!!!!!

I'm pretty sure all of the bedwetting is just people joking about the bedwetting.

This is taking a bit too long for my liking. Doesn't bode well for the rest of the window considering how quickly we desperately need to get players in. Amateur hour, just like the whole Emary episode.

I've mentioned before that I'd be happy with Ramsay on loan. The only thing is that the midfield needs way more steel than it needs craft and he's 0% steel, 100% craft.

Howeh, I thought the italics were a dead giveaway tbh

Anyone feeling concerned

Was having a read on there yesterday for a laugh, but the palpable toddler rage so many of them have on there, while being canny funny to read for a bit, is pretty unhinged and unhealthy like. Some of them sound like they're posting themselves towards a nervous breakdown. Many of them will never allow themselves to believe that if they were in our position they'd not only continue supporting Sunderland, but that they'd lap it up en masse, because believing in the hypothetical (our fans wouldn't do that!) and unquantifiable (having class) is all they have left to hold onto. If you can hold onto the idea that your fans would do the best, most morally just thing, or that your fans and club have more class, ignoring all of instances that show the opposite, it's a way of feeling like you have something over another club that's worth much more than money and success. That's not a criticism either, a lot on here were the same about Man City and those things - history, identity, community - are more important than money and success imo. What they haven't grasped and what they either wouldn't grasp until it happened to them, or wouldn't give a second thought as they completely 180d on everything they pretend to care about, is that the "what is a club in any case" rhetoric is a naïve fantasy that they might hold dear on an individual level, but isn't as important to everyone else as they might think it is. (Speaking from experience there ) Even then it's their impotent rage that's the most telling. They don't give a single shit about any of the heinous things KSA does outside of the context of them owning Newcastle, let alone any of the heinous shit going on elsewhere that could be called whataboutery. Everything is framed in that way - "look at all these terrible things KSA do, they own the mags!" As if the families destroyed in Yemen or in KSA give a shit about which football club they own. Their supposed moral outrage is just as cheap, shallow, and sickening as the supposed adulation of the knackers carrying KSA flags.

His nickname in the England squad is Stewie Griffin. I thought he reminded me of someone.

RTG really is a special case like. I know a few mackems in real life and none of them are anything like the knackers on there.

Only if he's driving to training when Adam Pearson's there.
