Sunderland are a regional club, stuck in the lower leagues, this could be the lottery win they dreamed of, their owners couldn't give a shit, we all saw how easy they rolled over for us last season. Its easy money for them and they would probably get some free stadium upgrades chucked in.

If we get an injury to a centre back on Saturday we'll be back in for him like a shot

We are starting the season with only 3 of those though

Man City could be looking for a player

You know, in the old days someone would have put a picture of Sonia's snatch up by now to cheer us up.

To late for transfers for this weekend anyway, no time to get bedded in.

Gambling commission, I'm not sure what the IBAS is

I've currently got an ongoing complaint with the gambling commission about Bet365 (they refused to pay out on a bet I won because of responsible gambling) its like hitting my head off a break wall, they are totally in favour of the bookies

I'll be in

Chelsea hired their new manager based on stats and style of play, I think they could be shocked when he doesn't match his EPL stats with his championship ones

Just to long to wait with to much jeopardy for a small payout, the odds are canny but a £5 bet wins you £22.5, thats a long wait for that sort of money, so an increased stake is a better option, however I'd be stressed to bits every week just waiting for a goal, I'd be looking for something like 10/1 for that sort of bet

I'm not taking no 9/2 on a 9 month bet

Chelsea still don't have a shirt sponsor, I wonder if they are waiting for the result of the Man City case next week to sort it

A new manager that is like 14 years old

You did say to keep Mitchell and Howe segregated and not pick off the Howe wish list.

Shearers goal scoring record was amazing, but it would have been so much better if he didn't come to us. Legend.

See ya Eddie, its been emotional

I can't believe more hasn't been made of the EPL bailing Man Utd out with the covid loan and the Glazers putting the cost of the takeover onto the club instead of paying it themselves.

Load of shite, I can't see West, Spurs and Chelsea finishing above us

Not in my opinion

Mitchell, poor start 2/10.

11 changes from the weekends team

Asworth hasn't struck a bat yet, he's just signing players Ten Hag wants

Not sure he's a threat to football, but he will fucking bankrupt Chelsea, he's Peter Ridsdale Mark 2

A new 9 year deal, he still had 7 years left on his last deal
