Howay

Maybe they could go and get some utter crank like Pearson, they seemed to think he was better than Benitez so they're welcome to the fucking horrible cunt.

He did aye, Townsend is a good player. He's seen as a one trick pony type but when your one thing is as devastating as his it's a pretty good thing to have in the side. They're hard to compare as they're very different players, I like Ritchie and I think he brings a good attitude to the team, he's also possibly more consistent than Townsend (hard to say mind as Benitez had him performing every week really but we'd need a longer run of games to see if that was a streak or a norm), but Townsend is probably more of a game changing type of player on his day.

Aye those things as well, I don't think he tackles at all or if he does it doesn't resemble tackling, for a bloke built like a brick outhouse he's a right tart. I honestly don't know why people keep trying to defend him in that Spurs thread, as I say it's not like he's a new comer to the league, he spent 3 years playing shite at us and now he goes there at 27 year old, plays a few shit games and they're going "he'll come good man" no, no he wont.

They're complete and utter mackems tbh. Of course they're a well run version but they still have weird chips on their shoulders regarding their better rivals.

I like the ones still defending him, how many years of PL football does the bloke have to play at a shit level before people just accept he's shit? He has no ability to control, pass, or shoot a football, if you can't do any of that as a footballer you're not much good. It's unbelievable that we got £30m for the utter heap.

Aye, I just went with CT's build stuff as I thought if he could manage it then it would be straightforward, I suppose it helped me figure out what I need which is really just Exodus. Now I know what everyone, yourself included, was meaning by saying it's bloated as anytime I opened it there was 20 things updating that I'd never heard of and it ground the thing to a halt until they were done (or crashed it).

"Fuck it the Knight Ryder's getting both"

Well after initially having one of those builds on and getting sick of booting it up to find a blank menu and having to faff on for 10 minutes updating everything and restarting to get it working I sacked it all off and have just added Exodus and a few others to the blank Kodi. It's a fucking million times better, no random crashes, works every time I turn on, etc, game changer as Gloom would say.

Was just posting the same, what a fucking loon. You could even see him really trying to think of something good before coming out with that drivel.

He has fuck all else to do but figure out what's going on at NUFC and he doesn't have a fucking clue.

Honestly man it's like a bloke in a pub. The plight of that collar man, he turns up to work in that disheveled clip? "well a bloke like Rafa will always be looking for targets so yeah I think they'll sign some players in January" What a fucking scoop, then he starts getting bold saying there will be some surprises 20 seconds after showing he has no evidence whatsoever that NUFC will even sign anybody other than he reckons they will .

Aye I worried a lot of it would go right over my head and it would be a lot of insider type jokes relating to that industry, but they've done a good job at limiting that. I think T.J Miller and the lad who plays Jared do a good job at balancing the show out so that it's not overly tech related, I laughed when Jared pulled out SWOT analysis and mentioned he had other corporate tools hidden around the house, that mix of industry gives it a wider audience.

I don't know if anyone has mentioned it on here but I've finally got round to properly watching Silicon Valley, I'd seen random episodes in the past and didn't think much of it but I thought it was class watching it properly from the start. They're only 30 minute episodes so I have blitzed through it the last couple of weeks and now I'm waiting on season 4 .

I doubt he's arsed, as others have said he's completely driven by money, the only other thing he hangs his hat on is the fact he's never been relegated from the PL. This Sunderland side are complete dogshit, he knows they have no money to spend on players, so he'll know his chances at saving them from relegation are pretty close to zero. Aye he'll not get a upper mid table side but he'd no doubt get an offer from a side who are in a much more tenable position and he'll go there, it might not be this season but I can't see him going to the mackems for a combination of reasons (he was already on his way out, and the whole "I've never been relegated" spiel). Saying all that I'd be happy if he did because I think he's a dogshit manager and wouldn't stand a chance at keeping them up (again he needed two imploding sides to survive last time), it'd be brilliant to see both the tramps and that smug twat relegated.

There's no way Allardyce would go back imo. He loves that he can say he's never been relegated from the PL (despite the fact he has been majorly responsible for sides going down) and this lot look as good as down. He's the sort of bloke who will get another PL job so he doesn't have to just take the first one offered.

Big eyes has a one match touchline ban which will be served during the Bournemouth game.

Aye that's what I think as well, I'd either play Diame alongside Shelvey (perhaps that would be too aggressive mind) or not at all. As you say he takes up striking positions, he also doesn't really track back much where he is so he is basically operating as a forward anyway. His finishing is also very poor from the positions he gets into evidenced by the sitters he misses.

Sold him for that and then bought a bloke that Chelsea paid 2m for and played once for 8m . They're staggeringly bad at everything, total mess of a club and it's really time for them to sink into the lower leagues.

Agree with all of that, we're getting the results but we're playing a bloke that's doing next to fuck all. It's similar to when we went 11 unbeaten with Obertan playing and Pardew kept refusing to change him because the results were good. I still think Diame could contribute but as I said in another thread I think he'd be more of an asset to us as a CM, Mitro or Perez playing close to Gayle would do more than him there.

Last time we played them was the day of THAT Stevie Taylor goal, really knows how to read the atmosphere that lad.

Lowest team we've faced since Rotherham, hopefully Gayle is back even though Mitro has been doing well (which is great to see) it's important for him to stay in this scoring run and keep confidence up.

Aye Ewerk is spot on, they pay absolute fortunes for the shite they have. They paid Adam Johnson more than he was on at City iirc and he was on about 60k a week there so you'd have to assume he was on close to 80k at the Mackems. Defoe has been their best signing for as long as I can remember, they never really have players that are much good. Genuinely can't think of a time they had a player of say Cabaye's level, they're just perennially shite. Shit club with a shit structure, shit owner and shit managers, the fact they fucking love Allardyce shows what a fucking shower they are.

5-0 to Rafa's yogurt slinging wank baskets.

Just saw the highlights, Mitro's first was quality and his second was a good header, followed by a bit of shit keeping but he had the good response of following it in and it was an easy finish for him. Their goal was hard lines really, balls along the line like that are hard to defend.

The standard of refereeing in this division is a fucking disgrace. Chuffed with that mind, coming away with a win away from home against a team that has beaten the other supposed contenders when we played poorly is a positive sign.
