Sunderland are going to employ Shreeves to inform every fan in person if we get to the champions league.

Who wants Messi and Ronaldo when you can have a penalty taker like Shola.

Where are people getting tickets? £65 a pop for the cheapest from Liveolympictickets.com seems steep.

I was just looking at a site that said Bet365 were offering 80s in March http://www.sportsbookguardian.com/blog/long-odds-on-villa-to-go-down-worth-a-punt-10681.html Damn it would have been good to jump on that.

Really? I only got 16/1 when they were in the top half so I'd love to start using your booky.

To be fair to shreeves, he didnt know he was talking to a reet Derek.

We might get Messi cheap after this

Everything everyone said in this thread is wrong or obvious.

I'm sure in a month, if we've finished 4th and Chelsea are due to play in the champions league final, people will still be asking about this.

Have you seen the title odds for next year? Chelsea 5/1 Liverpool 18/1 Tottenham 20/1 Newcastle 150/1 http://www.paddypower.com/football/uk-football/premier-league Can't find top 4 odds, but we'll be the outasiders for that too.

Yeah. The year prior to relegation was an utter disgrace with regard to transfer policy which was totally slash and burn. It's understandable to be wary for some time since then, however, there's very little you can point at in the transfer market that hasn't worked perfectly in the last 2 years. We've sold player of the year winners and close runners, but we've replaced them with better. Lets hope they carry on with this mentality and strategy.

We only turned a profit in one of the last 5 windows.

FWA's 1. Van Persie 2. Rooney 3. Scholes 4. Dempsey I know Scholes has had a big inmpact on Man U reclaiming first place...but howay, 13 games?

No erections in the kitchen.

Did you not have to enter that shite ticket lottery for the football?

9/1 to be attended by the physio exactly 4 times I love Paddypower

Owen's supposed to be fit again next week according to physioroom. Wonder if he'll come on and win the title for man U at man city. In similarly unlikely events, Drogba 14/1 to be booked for diving in 90 minutes tomorrow night. Gorra be worth a fiver

You'd hate us then, we're a proper 5 past 3 brigade, and a scout always gets sent on a mission to get the round in at 3.40. We still rip the piss out of anyone that leaves before the final whistle like, that's the important one.

Had a tenner on Villa at 16/1, which is still a good bit wider odds than they are anywhere now. Considered laying it off with a few quid each on on the rest of the contenders, but probably not worth it with Bolton and Blackburn odds on. Unless someone can do the sums better than me.

You must sit very close to me then. Do you go with your son and both nip for a piss after 20 minutes of EVERY FUCKING GAME

The average fertility of earth women is now 2.5. 60 years ago the value was 6. it's getting close to 2.1 which would be the replacement rate. It could quite soon drop below that, which would mean overpopulation would be on the path to recovery, rather than worsening.....except for all those people living over 100, life expectancy will be 106. http://www.un.org/esa/population/publications/longrange2/WorldPop2300final.pdf The best weapon in our fight against climate change, the pill and homosexuality.

You're trying to convince yourself you'll be happier with a worse result. Bollocks, we want to be in the champions League as soon as we can. So fuck if we get knocked out straight away, it's still 10 times the Europa league money, however well you do....

That's what I was waiting for. Shamed by the nightowl. Haha. Fucking champion.

We'd have made a loss last year were it not for the Carroll sale. Champions league would have a huge impact on what kind of offers we can afford to knock back, without anyone necessarily becoming priceless. It would also test Ba's priorities in terms of cash over competition, the only top performer we can't hold to their contract irrespective of offers.
