Happy Birthday Alex and HMHM!

I would take it into consideration personally and it would certainly make your application for a position more attractive. Any manager would be stupid not to take these things into consideration. For an internal position though, you've got to also factor in office politics and your general ability at your job. For instance, what do you do now, and what are you hoping to be promoted into?

Surely you've got to question the timing on this one - they could have waited a week until the election was confirmed. This is the BBC playing fast and loose with impartiality.

Mass psychosis?

Diaby's been out for over 6 years of his career...seriously? That's crazy...

The mental image of that...

At least he remained professional about it.

What the shit Is that for real?

Can someone answer something on all of this for me - why is this all just happening now? Have I missed some kind of major event that's kicked all of this off, or were the press just bored a couple of weeks ago and decided to make a story out of something that's been going on for years?

She gendered the debate way too early and lost my attention pretty much as soon as she did. It didn't help either that she'd not come up with any solid policies by the time I actually voted. Before it all started she was the one I was going to vote for, but she's made such a general fuck up of her campaign that I lost faith and stopped listening.

I feel kinda bad for finding that funny.

Let me get this right, I<3DC has been away from these boards for a bout 6 months and turns up again because he thinks Borini is that impressive a capture, it's worth gloating about. Fuck off man. You've signed a guy who couldn't get a game ahead of Balotelli last year. This might actually be the most depressing chain of posts I've seen him make. Trying to find joy in absolutely fuck all. It's like the problem Sunderland has on a citywide scale, personified in a single knacker.

Encouraging, if you believe it.

Being fair though, he did get 7 goals that season he was on loan with them. Hugely impressive number. To put it into context, when Shola was the same age playing for us, he also managed 7 goals in 25 games (26 to be exact) when he was the same age (as Borini was two years ago). They've spent £10m on their own version of Shola.

Hugely underwhelming. They've now spent three transfer windows chasing a player who spent the entire of last season warming a bench at a team that's only about 10 places better than they are. Good for them if they're happy about it, I guess...

Seriously? Man Utd are one of the highest budget, slow motion train crashes imaginable. What on earth are they even doing anymore? There's no team building, just money being thrown at problems.

I'm fairly happy with the transfer business we've done, but we've not really seen them play properly yet. It's been mostly backs to the wall kind of shit (largely due to being reduced to 10 men yesterday). We aren't going to set the league alight this year, that's for sure. But we're not going to end up in that utter clusterfuck that happened last year either. I'd take a left back at this point, but I think we're well stocked in strikers between Mitro, Perez and Cisse (and some of the forgotten...). Maybe Mitro and Cisse can take turns being suspended.

BBC reporting that we've not had a shot on target in 209 mins... (although not on target, there was the crossbar rattler last week at least)

We're defending well, generally

True

He'll have gone in to 'let him know he's there' or some such bollocks. Old school stuff. Problem is, we're now going to have every club we play against trying to get him sent off. Can he handle that?

On the plus side, we're defending well. Generally.

Agree with this. He's come over here with a rep, talked up kicking defenders and whatnot, and he's just seen what the result is.

Close up shop now like, damage control. What a fucking waste of a game.

Fuck.
