Hate the way they do that as though the NE clubs have no right to buy decent players. They were absolutely convinced he was off to either Spurs or Liverpool and I'm guessing can't for the life of them understand why he'd go to Sunderland. In many respects it's comparable to when we signed Owen and the journos couldn't get their heads round why he'd choose us over Liverpool. Massive statement of intent from the Mackems and one you have to commend. Understandable why they're chuffed to bits - lets face it we would have been. I just don't like the touted inevitability around the reselling of these signings. On our side, you've got players like Cabaye and Ben Arfa talked about as massive profit makers. Now, the mackems make a good ambitious signing in Whickham and the same is said of them. That sort of mindset is never going to get the NE back as a top footballing region. Of course, I don't mind when Sunderland flog their best players

Some might say he's a cu-

Canny signing. Journos already talking about resale value. Bit depressing this selling climate around NE clubs.

Be glad that you did it in that mode. I'm trying to get through the campaign in veteran mode and I'm stuck on mission 3. Given it a good double digit amount of attempts. It's fucking impossible You ever try COD2 on Veteran? No, my first COD was Big Red One. Why? Was it virtually undoable? It was basically a test of how much frustration you could take before packing it in. Your bloke could take very little damage and you were up against super soldiers and you know what COD's like for its big set pieces with loads of enemies on screen. If you've never played COD2 though, you should get it and play through it, it's my favourite one.

Aye, sorry, CT. Was a bit out of order before. Should really be enjoying the sunshine fanny today instead of this.

Got big feet like?

Aye he was like. But I reckon assuming he does start next season, if he wants away to a club in Europe he'd need to shop window himself again which is only good for us. True. I fear that if he does say he's going to stay on (even if it's just until January), the club will take that as reason not to get some decent LB cover in. I know we have Ferguson but he looks better further forward.

Tell you what, I'll take another year out of Enrique as long as he realises he's going to have to work his bollocks off like everyone else. Toward the back end of last season, he looked like he was a player thinking about where he was heading next.

On that note, Chronicle is saying we're not in for Sturridge despite Villas-Boas claiming he's available from £6 million. Can't believe we won't try.

Really, I only believe NUFC stuff if it comes from Stevie

One step toward the world of Mad Max.

tbf i thought you were one before this like Fair point.

I realise I've basically come off like a cunt in this but it doesn't matter what happens, tomorrow night he's going to be posting "Erdinc deal fell through" credited to some Twitter knacker anyway because he knows it's going to get a bite of cunts like me.

Maybe if you weren't such an obnoxious prick, we wouldn't be discussing it.

A kid I went to school with won 250k on a scratchcard and the first thing he bought was a moped.

Pallion The only place with a pizza shop opposite a brothel.

The SPL is fucking shit like. I'm sure that third Kilmarnock/Dundee clash of the season is a heartstopper.

"Cunt" is just what Scottish people say when they can't think of another word and need to keep their sentence going. "Aye, we're going down the, erm...cunting paper shop"

A scratchcard

I literally think people have got to be banned from posting stuff from Twitter. Its baseless shite that's ruining the board. It's.not exciting, it's tedious and when you've got people like Craig who know their football more than most, thinking about leaving because people are posting fantasy football ramblings and acting like excited 14 year olds, it's time to change something.

Added Ant and Trophyshy on 360. I'm Flirty Bertie. Top tag.

Got all them on Oblivion and Assassin's Creed 2 on the 360. Oblivion when I was ill and had fuck all to do and AC2 when my net went down and the only page I had open was a map for all the feathers. Well on my way to Platting Pacman DX though. It's fucking mint.
