The Fish

Big fucking tart.

Sels Gamez Hanley Good Haidara El-Mhanni Hayden Barlaser Lazaar Perez Mitrovic Bench is really strong Rob Elliot, DeAndre Yedlin, Paul Dummett, Jamaal Lascelles, Jonjo Shelvey, Matt Ritchie, Yoan Gouffran.

According to the unbiased BT Sport, the first goal shouldn't have counted because it wasn't a foul, it was offside and the wolves players are poopyheads

Wolves are currently beating Liverpool 1-0 at Anfield. Lose this and it's 1 win in 8.

Had a Chilli last night and all.

That site rated the latest Resident Evil movie higher than Hacksaw Ridge?

Well, that wasn't very fucking clear now was it? Jesus wept. Got pretty shitfaced last night, woke up hungover and I may have gone too far the other way with the coffee this morning.

he ran a poll about who should start up front, the options were Barlaser, or Perez. Someone corrected him by saying Barlaser is a midfielder so he said "I know, but he played centre forward against Birmingham". I corrected him and he replied with that monstrosity. He's deleted that tweet now like. Yup. I'm in trouble with the other two lads that do the podcast. One of the listeners offered us two tickets for the Oxford game at face value (and P&P) because he couldn't go. He posted them down to the address I have for the other lad, but I didn't realise I didn't have the flat number so they got bounced back to Newcastle.

Expecting a very similar line-up to the Birmingham game. Which according to this guy means

Objectively, Sunderland's position is nigh impossible. They can't afford to splash the cash to buy survival, they haven't an underperforming core that a new manager could spur to safety, they don't have saleable assets to raise cash and they're rock bottom, so it's not like with a couple of unlikely results they can get a bit of a gap. At the same time, they're so riddled with debt, they can't, in all good conscience, accept relegation and plan for a rebuild in the same way as someone like Burnley or Norwich could. Normally you'd say relegation could be an opportunity to get rid of the mercenaries (as Villa and ourselves managed), a chance to consolidate and rebuild with a better vision of what they're after. Forget about other Premier League sides, which of their players would walk into a Championship Playoff team? Pickford, Defoe, Kone? Would they stick around? Defoe knows West Ham were keen this window, could Palace or their ilk take a punt in the summer? Pickford is a highly rated English goal keeper, I'd not be surprised to see top half teams give him opportunities that a Championship Sunderland just can't. Kone is on wearside against his will and would surely leap on the first outgoing flight should they go down. After that, as has been said, they're a mix of has beens, should have beens and never will bes. Can they rely on the likes of Anichebe and Rodwell in the 2nd tier, in the same way we could rely on Shelvey and Lascelles?

Crystal Palace have just spent £14m on Sunderland's 2nd top goal scorer. Patrick van Aanholt. Allardyce has just spent more on an ok left back, than Sunderland have on anybody, in their history.

Really enjoyed Hacksaw Ridge, quite often saw the actor rather than the character though. Garfield was all right, Vaughan was amusing, Weaving was decent, but the performances on the whole were straight out of a 2nd tier tv crime drama. The battle scenes were incredible and while it leant heavily towards Hollywood at the end I think the majority of those combat scenes were as jarring and uncomfortable as SPR.

What's that then?

I think they're impressing and will likely be in a strong position in the Play Offs, but the lead Brighton and Newcastle have built is too big to see another club nab an automatic spot from either of us, without a shocking loss of form.

Reported.

Nice that when he asked for directions, they all sent him the wrong way

Or people had to vote for policies, unaware of the party that has submitted them. If the populous had the wherewithal to see through that obvious obfuscation that pool wouldn't be permitted to stagnate as often or as quickly.

fuck off man, she's real and everything. Martin's met her.

You're sassy this morning. Espresso enema?

Churchill said Democracy is the worst form of government apart from all the others. I think democracy is brilliant if everyone is playing by the rules, but they aren't, so it's horseshit. Democracy works if the populous are voting after consideration and for the betterment of society and themselves, but they aren't. I love my better half and she's intelligent and all the rest of it, but she votes Tory because she always has. My sisters vote Labour because they always have and that's what my Dad votes. Drives me mad.

Churchill said it better than me, but yeah.

No, I'm not saying they consider something unfair and support it anyway, I'm saying they don't consider it. They frankly don't give a shit that the overwhelming majority of muslims are not bomb wielding lunatics, they couldn't give a shit that foreign aid can actually provide jobs and customers for domestic companies, they couldn't give a shit about a whole heap of stuff. Certainly not enough to learn more than what the commercial news station that pushes their political party's agenda is telling them. Generally the voting public are wilfully ignorant, reactionary arseholes and shouldn't decide what happens to a country any more than the weaselling dickheads they vote into power to represent them.

Absolutely, also I think his understanding of the game means he could be a decent coach/manager in the future. Mind you some cracking players who read the game well have utterly failed at management, so what the fuck do I know?

I dunno, I was told that the pizzas from Franco Manca are "class" and that means a lot to me.
