Howay

You'd love Jordan Peterson on Joe Rogan's podcast (can get it on youtube iirc). He's a Canadian professor and his craic was that SJW are taking over Canada. Of course you have to stomach Rogan being canny annoying, Peterson comes out with some fairly dodgy stuff in all iirc. No idea how much of it is true because I've never even been to Canada let alone lived there I just remembered the podcast and you saying that brought it up.

Think Tom is looking at the bottom right of the page, it is more attention grabbing than hearing some tramp from Sunderland embarrass himself.

Sounds like a lie as well which makes it even more pathetic. I also wouldn't glorify turning him down at that time if it was true as he would have probably improved their defence.

Aye that's it, I realize my last post seemed like a bit of a pop at DIame, Diame tries that's why I try not to give the lad flak despite having a similar issue of lacking much technique I just worded it poorly. The last bit about him just kicking the ball off people's shins is spot on any run was just him bouncing it off people, sometimes it worked and he got the bounce but then he inevitably bottled the shot or made a shite decision, other times it bobbled out of play or the player was successful in the tackle and he put his hands on his hips and didn't bother trying to win it back. Sissoko was probably one of the few players that have played for NUFC that I have really disliked. I don't have those feelings towards players like San Benito Anita, or Raymond Colback as they do at least work hard, it's just they lack in the aspect of being football players. Sissoko was also odd in the way that he wasn't frustrating in the way players like Ben Arfa or Robert were where they had immense talent but they didn't always give their all, he was an odd mix of shit football player who rarely put any effort in and I've genuinely no idea how he has made it to where he is in the game. It of course also doesn't help that he spent most of his time at NUFC inferring we were a little club that was beneath him and he's a superstar that should be playing at the highest level. We bought the cunt for buttons from Toulouse and he spent the next 3 seasons battling relegation, I've no idea where he got that attitude from. He then moved to the 3rd best side in the league and now thinks he's big enough to give a "it's me or the manager" type of demand . Lunatic.

So is he going to look for a move to a bigger side? I guess the reason he's not performing now is because they're beneath him like how he never bothered his arse for NUFC. I honestly don't know how any team could possibly rate him higher than the 5-10m bracket (which is still high for him imo), he's on a very similar level to Diame I reckon and honestly he puts less effort in. He lacks any sort of technique, his runs are only ever successful due to his athleticism, his passing is poor, decision making is poor, shooting is horrific (in fact he rarely is even confident enough to make a proper go of it and often opts to just side foot it to the centre of the net so he registers a shot on target). He's a bottom half of the PL player due to the combination of his lacking ability and his total lack of effort, if he tried hard he'd probably be in the mid to slightly top half bracket I've no idea why Spurs ever thought he'd improve them. I'm glad it's going shit for him because the bloke is a cunt tbh. Hopefully he either rots in their reserves for another year or ends up at some small French side or club like Hull.

Bunch of Jeremy Clarkson wannabes tbh.

They were a lot more interchangeable back when that pic in HMHM's avatar was printed iirc. I think people have picked sides since the clubs put different spellings up but they are interchangeable as HMHM say I think.

According to Transfermarkt Rafa's agent is Manuel Garcia Quilon, wonder if he's from the Wirral... Edit: An ESPN story backs up him being Benitez's agent as well: http://www.espnfc.us/real-madrid/story/2461433/rafael-benitez-would-be-happy-to-manage-real-madrid-agent about 2 year old but I doubt Benitez would change agent that much. tbf a few posts into that thread the mackems have cottoned on that his agent is that Quilon. Why would you even bother posting something like that ffs. Also I thought they were all over the moon we had him because he's shite and he took us down, why are they all hoping he leaves? Fish is all over that thread btw, I don't know why you bother Dave they're fucking bonkers. This is a cracker: "I heard similar from a media pal weeks ago (I posted it on here but i think it wasn't on a dedicated thread) had it confirmed again by a poster who has already commented so it could have legs, tbh I'm not arsed either way but I suppose any unrest up the road is welcome." So he heard Rafa's leaving and when another poster on the forum 'confirmed it' so that means it could have legs . I overheard a bloke in a suit say Sunderland are bankrupt and if they go down they'll be put into administration, anyone fancy confirming this to give this one legs?

At times, but if he becomes one of the weaker members of the squad we'd have a pretty strong side by that point.

Agreed, a bit of extra creativity is needed then a partner for Shelvey and a CB. Dummett is shite but could do enough in a squad whose aim is to avoid relegation, I'd look to improve on him in January or the following summer if we didn't improve on him next window mind. I agree with what AH was saying about the bottom of the PL, it's fucking turgid tbh and I'd fancy the current side with a few key additions and Rafa as manager to stay up. Shelvey would be one of the last people I'd bother thinking about replacing, he can be inconsistent and a fucking divvie but he's a PL level player, as much as the pundits have made out that Mooy is the best CM in the league Shelvey is far and away better than that sideways passing fanny.

No chance whatsoever of a player like Son, he plays most weeks for a CL level side. I'm not overly worried about Gayle, he was often Palaces top scorer in the PL despite not starting all that regularly iirc. He's a good finisher and will get goals, it's going to be creativity that's more of an issue as you say which is why we need a creative attacking midfielder to play the role Diame/Perez have been occupying. I'd love a forward line of Sigurdsson, Ritchie, Townsend, and Gayle. I suppose Sigurdsson is a big question mark over if he'd come mind, as if Swansea stay up he might fancy just staying there since he's already had one move not work out.

I left off Gamez and Lazaar as I've not really seen enough of them, if they're not good enough to play over Dummett and Anita it does make me question them but maybe there's some other reason they're not playing. Sels isn't even close to being good enough currently so I shudder to think how many goals we would concede with him palming the ball into onrushing attackers like Aguero, Zlatan, etc. I've made absolutely no secret of my disdain for Vurnon San Benito Anita or Jack Raymond Colback, even their middle names are shit man. Dummett isn't good enough either but he's fine as defensive cover for a tricky position, however if he's still a fucking starter we've done something wrong. Sammy is a bag of shite, Gouffran's contract is up and I doubt we'll extend it. Atsu for 5m is a no brainer imo, even if he's only utilized as a sub/rotation option he is a real threat against tired full backs. De Jong is talented enough but he can't stand up without his lungs exploding. Mitrovic will be off if Rafa stays imo, Murphy isn't a PL player. Diame has been poor a fair bit but he can still be a handful, similar to Dummett in that if he's starting we've done something wrong but he's a fine option. Hanley is a Championship player, hopefully we buy a good CB and then either Clark or Lascelles become the back up, not opposed to having him as 4th choice mind (or 5th depending on whatever the fuck is going on with Mbemba).

Aye what Strawb said, they definitely don't factor in your relatives credit scores into your credit score that wouldn't make sense and would be extremely unfair.

Wouldn't it also fuck the credit of the actual owner of the property too if that were the case? As far as I'm aware credit score is based on things like amount of credit available to you, % of those credit lines you're currently using, on-time payments, length of credit history, etc, as ewerk and quiff said it doesn't attach to any property, unless we're all being razzed by the Fish here. You will probably get a fair bit of his mail which can be a pain in the neck. The previous tenant of our apartment is in jail now and we got a ton of his mail, usually letters from lawyer firms and court date letters, eventually we started leaving them in the postbox by the door and the postman wrote a note saying "does this person live here anymore? circle: Yes No"

Aye was going to say what Quiff and Ewerk have said, it's the old tenants debt so it's nowt to do with you.

Gayle will surely be ready, has 2 weeks to get his fitness back up and recover more from the injury.

Very true, just didn't want everyone thinking I was a divvy for thinking their position would change. It'll be even funnier next year when he leaves and they're scrapping to avoid relegation with Burton Albion.

I was more meaning the plight of them as a team in general as opposed to their position, but aye the position wouldn't change

Yeah, I think he gets really panicked and makes rash decisions. It's something that he can hopefully grow out of as he experiences more situations in games. I was hoping he'd make a bit more progress than he did this season mind but he has had a handful of very capable games which gives hope.

That could also explain Gamez and Lazaar's lack of games as well.

I agree with most of that but I'd not want Loftus-Cheek as he's completely unproven, I'd also not fancy doing them a favour by giving him PL games after they refused to do the loan at a time it was more beneficial for us. Abraham is on the Victor Moses 5 year plan and will go somewhere he will get starts, and Rashford is on the Jose Mourinho "I've no idea what to do with younger players" plan. I think if we are to loan players in the PL it would be better to get experienced players who aren't getting games at top sides rather than youth. Other than that I agree we'll need to spunk a fair whack of money, hopefully the 30m is being held for that rather than just Ashley being a tight bastard...

I agree, he's a very capable passer of the ball and he'd fill that missing number 10 spot well with his passing. As you say he's slow, it would have been great in this league when we've been camped outside a lot of oppositions boxes and just needed that killer ball, the PL may be different and we may need a more mobile player there although there is a lot of shite at the bottom of the league and he could prove to be a very handy rotation player for Rafa (if of course he can remain fit which is a big question mark, he can't have played in more than 10 games for Ajax which isn't promising at all).

I think Thauvin's clause was they'd buy him if he played 3 times, he's obviously played more than that so aye I think that one's done. I expect SDJ will be back mind, no doubt the physio team are excited to have their mate come back.

That all blends into one mismanaged nightmare for me, Pardew - McClaren, Cabella - Thauvin, .
