Agreed - he's brushed it all off with the usual platitudes and soundbites. 'Aarons isn't really a left back...Taylor has played his second game in 6 months'. He's blissfully unaware that this situation is actually partially his fault.

This is Charnley you're talking about here...

Pardew lost 6-0 at home to Liverpool and wasn't sacked. There's no chance McClaren is going here.

What is the point in staying up just for more of this though...

Dunno like, I'm starting to think we'd concede fewer if we simply forgo having a central defense at all.

Taylor I reckon. Probably with a penalty being given away thrown in for good measure.

Not knowing Ashley.

Holy fuck. We're going to be annihilated.

So this would be why McClaren has set up us to defend previously then.

So predictable.

That's the spirit!

I'd like to say something to the effect of 'If Sunderland can beat Man Utd...' but the latter are so shit right now that it'd be meaningless. At least we're going for it, as you say.

I'm uncharacteristically confident. Based on their League position, I'm going to assume Chelsea are more or less on West Brom/Bournemouth's level at the moment. I'd fancy us to get something against them.

Aarons at LB it is then.

if Everton could just get a goal, this wouldn't be such a day after all, even if we lose.

West Ham equalised...

Bournemouth losing though...

As fucking annoying as that is, you have to laugh at Man Utd

Fuck.

Was just gonna say that myself. Sunderland look the more likely to win this...

Right but, with it in the private sector, are those using the service not paying for both running it and the profits of those who own them? So Renton's right, ultimately, more money is being spent on them now - just the cost is focused on a smaller group of people.

I'll chalk this one off to not having a family...

You sound like someone speaking from experience, so I'll just commiserate with you on this.
