The Fish

I try to get the captain to talk to them and if that doesn't work it's normally the "there's plenty time on your contract" shtick.

spectacularly petty.

Jesus and Gamez?

I do think Defoe has an affection for Sunderland, but like you say; Last chance of a big move, moving close to home, moving back to a boyhood club, moving to a better team...

If more intelligent people engaged with the average person we wouldn't have Brexit or Trump in the Whitehouse.

Aye it's the twitter bellends, declaring that if we don't sign a host of players we'll not go up. 2nd Para is spot on as well.

Taking nothing for granted, but the collective panicking is ludicrous. We were never going to walk the league, so while every loss is disappointing we shouldn't piss our pants.

We're 2nd, not 8th No team has more wins No team has scored more We've the best Goal Difference We remain 5th in the form table despite our little wobble We have the appeal to attract Premier League players to the 2nd tier We have the funds to afford those players in January We have the right manager to identify and convince those players We have the best manager in the league We are still odds-on to win the title, let alone get promoted.

Ahhh Motsonisms.

I'll save them the bother "Does Mitrovic feature in your plans?" "Yes, absolutely, he's a very good player for this cloob. I have a good squad and some will play now and some will play another time."

Aye it's bullshit, Felipe Vizeu has been stalked by bigger clubs since I bought him and it's cost me wages and promises to keep him. Despite him being a top striker, he doesn't feel there's enough quality up front so I signed Gabriel Barbosa for £32m. Not good enough, Vizeu still wants the strike force strengthened. I've the best attack in the league, he's the league's top goal scorer, There's strength in depth all over the pitch. How can I make him happy? Oh aye, here's another £20k a week and a signing on bonus that it more than some clubs spend on a player.

Is he? I was thrown by the "to the good". Plus it's pretty fucking early so I'm not up to my normal awesome speed yet. Oh Christ it's actually not that early, I'm just still half asleep. Honestly thought it was 7:20 ish

Imagine Defoe is convinced to stay, the window shuts, and his ankle goes. No Defoe, no replacement, no hope.

It means you have to put $200 to receive $300 back including your $200 stake. If you put £12 on you'd get £18 back. If it were 2-1 you would only need to put $100 on to receive $300 back including your $100 stake. If you put £12 on you'd get £24 back.

Well, we'll know that "Dickied" is a synonym of "jinxed" if we don't win, so you've got that sword of Damocles over you.

Ah, cheers

Gullit also dropped Lee and Barton, didn't he? That says more about Gullit's ego than it does anything else. You said yourself Murphy hasn't featured and given Rafa doesn't give him subs more than 15 minutes or so I don't think leaving Mitro out is a big two fingers up at him. I honestly think he's just giving Murphy a spot on the bench to keep him happy, Mitrovic motivated and the squad rotating. Just like he gave Murphy 2 appearances in the EFL cup games. It's rotation not punishment.

excellent, where the fuck is that?

A simple work around would be to rename the positions 1st, 2nd, 3rd...19th, 20th etc. as text rather than number. I've done something like that before and I'm sure there's a better way but off the top of my head I can't remember.

Anita is a bad example, he's getting game time, so if he were dropped from the bench for Curtis Good, eyebrows would be raised. It's like if Hanley were fit, you wouldn't care which of the 3rd and 4th choice centre backs were on the bench. Would you assume one of them had a bad attitude if Elliot or Sels were on the bench?

Yeah, I was/am livid. What kind of felching cock rash blows for half time during a corner routine?

I'd play ET ahead of Colback, the useless ginger bollock.

WELL CHOOSE YOUR WORDS MORE CAREFULLY FUCKKNUCKLE!

You're assuming Short will be able to sell them. They make fuck all despite having comparatively huge attendances, their commercial income isn't anything to write home about and without the Premier League money coming in their already troubling debt will surely only increase? Short may struggle to find a buyer for that hot mess.
