You could convincingly argue that Elliot basically had the ball by the time it happened but I agree that Coloccini had no business getting involved. Fletcher would never have gotten there. At the end of the day, Sunderland are fucking rubbish. I think this current side is the worst iteration of their team that I've seen in the past 5 years. If jammy penalties are all they have to hope for then they're doomed. It's patently obvious that we're a far better team. The only annoying thing if we go on to lose this, for me at least, is that it'll be 3 points thrown away.

No chance was Fletcher going to get to that before Eliot, although fucking moronic from Coloccini. No need for him to make that move.

It will to me to be honest. I'm only mildly enthused by this rivalry at the best of times Sunderland are a nobody of a team and about the same as a city.

Whatever happens today, we're a much better team than Sunderland. They're utterly shite.

Sissoko seems to have decided that he wants to score this week, which is actually not doing us any favours... He needs to go back to assists.

Every game, I make a post stating that Tiote is a total liability and shouldn't be playing. Every fucking game.

So Sunderland are basically going to try to kick the shit out of everyone. That seems to be the gameplan.

Generic small time football blather thread 2015/16
Rayvin replied to The Fish's topic in Newcastle Forum
True, but Sherwood had it coming for being an utter bell end in general. Remember all that bollocks about his win percentage? -

That's Sherwood gone... -
Maybe the hope with Tiote is that he provides some muscle for the first half, gets booked, and then is withdrawn again at half time.

A fair counter argument to be honest - it's more likely, I concede, that capitalism piggybacked on such movements rather than actually created them (although I'd say that the latter is feasible for the globalisation angle). Either way the outcome is that both movements have pulled wages down and maximised profits. I'd say this was the single most important reason that either movement succeeded.
-
I actually have some sympathy with this line of thought - not that feminism hasn't done wonders for women's rights, but like globalisation, it's been developed to make the rich richer.

That's interesting - still though, even for things like trucks, they've been 'gendered' have they not? So the kid has picked them up not because they're a male toy, but because he likes the wheels, and that they move etc. We've then given a truck a label as a boy's play item, which has meant that you've decided your lad is a 'boy' in his mindset. My little sister has lego, loads of toy cars, and a toy castle, pirate ship; she enjoys dressing up as a knight (and had a birthday party in which she all the kids came round as princesses or knights, and she insisted on being the latter). She even has a toy crossbow. I'm pretty sure she isn't going to grow up wanting to be a man though. She just likes the toys and has been protected from forced 'gendering'.

I kind of agree with this - I personally feel like trans people are socialised into it somehow, but I'm very open to a counter opinion that notes some kind of genetic marker or something. I also fully empathise with those who feel like they have to do this, as no matter why they're doing it, the desire is real. Also enjoying watching modern feminism attack itself - was always inevitable at some point, once they ran out of actual issues to address.

The point is though, that by working with Saudi, our governments support what they do to their citizens.
-
We should win this. The record above is a Pardew era catastrophe and while much of this is the same team, much of it isn't. The only concern is the defence, but honestly, if our shakiness at the back encourages our forward players to take control of the game as with Norwich, then I'm more than happy to concede a couple.

Probably not worse, but Saudi is at least theoretically contained within a sovereign state. ISIS are most likely their expeditionary force... For clarity, I meant worse than the status quo in various middle eastern countries, not worse than Saudi - i.e. we go in to a country and either support what's there or replace it with something horrifying.
-
Would you accept that the UK government, through it's continuous arms dealings with Saudi, actually has a hand in supporting this medieval barbaric power? So, granted we point the finger and wring our hands about human rights abuses, but we're basically enabling them at the same time. That makes us utter hypocrites at the very least, and entirely unconcerned, beyond meaningless rhetoric, about human rights abuses at the worst. We like to say we're enlightened and 'not medieval' but we've invested a lot of fucking time in the Middle East and none of it has been about bringing in democracy. We've tried to either maintain the status quo or bring about something worse (ISIS).
