Howay

:lol: I love how the Sir Bobby thing is always escalated, from watching some games now and again to him basically being a massive lads fan. Honestly man they're sad as fuck, as soon as there is anyone connected with us there is a mad dash to declare he's a massive lads fan (a fucking daft phrase to begin with) as if anyone not from Sunderland (or with some trampy family members) would actually give a fuck about one of the worst teams in Premier League history.

Vieira's nee Jamie McClen, that's a real box to box midfielder.

I thought the same when rumours he may get the sack a few weeks back started so I went onto a Swansea forum to get their side and they seemed (for the most part) pretty frustrated with his tactics and team selections, they've also only had 1 win in 11 or something. I know he had that good season but Pardew had one here and the majority wanted shot of him too, I rarely see Swansea play so the people who watch them every week would know best (as we did when watching Pardew compared to others who just yelled about beating bigger sides and 5th place finish) I really think the move has been made to bring Rodgers in which is probably a smart move tbh.

Yeah I mean there's nothing much we can do until Jan (short of trying the Sissoko option, which in all honesty is worth at least trying), a left back and CM would be my priorities in January mind. Saying all that your first point about how we can persist with them is exactly the major issue because that's exactly what we will do with an owner like Ashley, we can probably just about manage with them so we will continue.

Aye I know you don't like him Anorthernsoul but the lad being a good pro isn't a negative. I don't think he brings much at all to the side, he played well against Liverpool by being clean in possession in our half, going off what HF said earlier it seems once he got into the opposition half and nearer their box that's when he become pretty ineffective and that's the issue really. We have 2 CM's who contribute basically nothing in the opposition half, they struggle when their options are less and they have less time to make a decision, we really can't persist in playing both but Anita is the better of the two. If he can put in performances like he did against Liverpool regularly he will be very low on the teams list of problems, he will need a CM partner in Jan mind unless Tiote can miraculously capture some form.

We give the mighty Northampton a right kicking, do you guys mean you want them to try further than the 3rd round? Fully expect Watford to humiliate whatever squad we put out, if we go under-strength our lot will probably be too shit and if we put the first team out they wont be interested in playing Watford.

Colback with 69% of his passes complete, considering the majority of them seem to be 5 yard side-ways or backward passes that's fucking atrocious.

Aye it's fucking hilarious, they moan about stuff like that but still declare their shithole town as being better than Newcastle. Agree with the Fish that they have some brass neck calling our stadium a landfill, ours is historic and is right in the City centre, meanwhile there one is a shitty bland stadium made in the 90's which may as well be the Madjeski or any of the other flat pack type shite. Going back to the wanting to tie themselves to other teams they use the fact their ground is named the Stadium of Light to do that as well. Bunch of fucking losers, forever in our shadow and all that.

:lol:

"Tell you somethin marra, them Vikings that landed on Holy Island actually landed on Seaburn beach first I heard they had red and white shields, so massive lads fans it would seem. Since then all of the Nordic countries have been massive lads fans."

I feel a bit for Dummett as he has the desire and commitment but he simply isn't a Prem player, saying that Mike Williamson has managed 150 Prem appearances so he could well get more.

Aye just Paul Dummett struggling to bring a dead ball under control instead.

I watched half of the first episode and it seems they changed a few of the characters backgrounds and where they are. Juliana seemed to be in the Pacific States rather than Carson City (or wherever she starts in the book) maybe it could be starting before where the book was set? As I know Juliana makes references to how she used to live in the Pacific states. I'll be giving it a go as well like.

Ighalo vs Colocinni part 2? mint...

:lol: As if some bloke in Rotterdam is watching that tragic Sunderland side as well as watching Sparta.

Penshaw Monument always cracks me up, it's on their fucking club badge as well as if to signify Roman history or something when in reality it was built in the mid 1800's.

Sparta Rotterdam, really trying to force some link to Rotterdam I guess

Btw the Feyenoord link they always spout off about, did it just come about after we gave Feyenoord a few kickings in Europe and they took a bit of a disliking to us so some Feyenoord fans went to mackem games or was it before that? Fucking hilarious trying to find any team in red and white and claiming some affinity with them. I just find it class that some nob made the post on the same day I was griefing them for it on here.

Funnily enough the day I posted that this thread was put up on their forum: http://www.readytogo.net/smb/threads/another-foreign-club-with-a-link-to-sunderland.1169416/ "Another foreign club with a link to Sunderland?" Why are they so fucking desperate for these sort of links? My only guess is that since they've basically never played in Europe (a kicking from Ferencavaros or whatever aside) they're trying to pretend they have any sort of presence in Europe.

They should put pressure on this lad to do his:

:lol: Those pics are class.

:lol:

The fat lasses christmas avatar is up, the one on the left of the picture reminds me of the marshmallow man from Ghostbusters is that the look she was going for? it was probably meant to be 'sexy sailor' or some other failed attempt.

They're fucking knackers, I never saw any of the posts Scoobos was referring too but I've no doubt some were being disrespectful towards the incident and jealous (as the 'closet mag' shite shows) towards any attention we get.

He just has no ability on the ball whatsoever, it is something that is exposed less at CB. At left back he is often asked to overlap or initiate attacks (without just launching it forward), I can't remember which game it was but in a recent one the ball came to him in the opposition half at nothing more than a roll and he took three ridiculous touches just to get the ball moving in the vague direction of their goal (wouldn't say he really had it under proper control) it was horrific.
