literally my exact thoughts after reading that article.

Knew something had to be up with that.

84 pace, 86 dribbling and 84 shooting. Pretty decent up front

I'd like to think he just really loves Tall Trees.

Gets trapped in your suit though, could be a disaster if it's a particularly potent bit of flatulence.

Boro are about to name Karanka their new manager. Canny drop down in lifestyle for the bloke going from a city like Madrid to one as hellish as Middlesbrough

He must be taking the piss? decades in professional football, the stories he should have and he's going on about what books he has in his house? what a fucking knacker. The story about Martin Corrigan is wonderful too, I actually considered giving the book a read but seeing these excerpts puts me right off.

Only 8 points behind Arsenal now .

Brilliant result and an utter stunning performance by Tim Krul. That 2nd half was excruciating to watch but worth it at the whistle, 6 points from 2 games I expected nowt from.

Dawson's a canny player, normally solid. We're just really exploiting his lack of pace well with Remy.

Shocking dive and disgraceful decision. The commentator on the channel I watched it on was absolutely desperate for Chelsea to get a pen kept saying things like "I feel like the ref will give a pen", he seemed chuffed when the referee decided to give one in the last minute. We'd never hear the end of this if it was the other way round and won West Brom the game, Jose's record would be finished and they crying and whinging would start.

Aye Boruc is ok but his eccentricity is so high he is prone to doing some mental stuff. I just replaced him with Jason Steele from boro and I'm more solid defensively.

Aye I'd like to see Arsenal batter them like. I keep hearing people dismissing Arsenal as "they always fall apart" which is odd as wenger has already won the prem multiple times. They have a genuinely good side especially with ozil in there and Giroud looking a real handful every game.

Quality bloke, surprised at the mention as well. Hope they win the league this year.

Nowt at all, utter shithole to be honest. The air show is okay for kids but it would be a lot better if they just held it somewhere nicer.

And yet large parts of Sunderland make those places seem like Darras Hall.

Having a canny game with Southampton, finished 8th and won League cup in season 1 after buying Mateo Musacchio for £2.3m and Honda for £1.5, Mateo struggled all season but he's settled in more now 2nd season, Honda can't get a game as Ward-Prowse has become really good very quickly so I loaned him out to Fiorentina. Expected a decent budget for season 2 and got £7m sold Schneiderlin for £16m to Madrid as he had been unsettled for a while, and I got given £6m of the £16m, so went and got Jordan Jones from Boro, Fabio Borini for £2.2m, Sebastian Coates for £1.7m, Jason Steele for £750k and then I spent the rest (with future clauses and adjusting my wage budget) to get Stevan Jovetic. The chairman is still unhappy I didn't buy enough star names or Italian players, but I'm not exactly sure what he was expecting with £7m. So far looking a bit more solid defensively (scored a lot last season but also conceded a lot), Osvaldo (Prem's top scorer with 26 1st season) has carried on scoring for fun. Through to the group stage in Europa league and 2nd in the prem after 8 games. Enjoying the game so far tbh, seems to actually run better than FM13 did on my laptop.

Aye classy player.

Aye don't do owt for the fans Alan, grovelling prick.

I miss Robert like, he was a complete nutter.

Agreed. Although I do agree with HMHM's point that any attacks against Ashley is a good thing, even when it's coming from a former Ashley groveler. What a shite situation it is tbh, I can see Gemmill's point about not going and the points the lads that still go make, if I still lived back home I'd have a rough time making the choice too as I love going to the match but he really is openly taking the piss knowing most will still turn up. My dad packed going in a year or so after I moved away as he's completely disillusioned with what Ashley is doing and it makes me furious knowing Ashley has done that, a bloke from Benwell that went to nearly all home and away fixtures (excluding most euro away ones due to money) before I was born and every home game and the odd away before I moved countries. A few of his mates that have always went have started packing it in as well, it's a real shame to see such apathy forming in what Stevie and a few have labelled the more hardcore fans. Just praying that he sells up asap.

I don't really understand the banning of journos like, is he really that precious? I guess he more likely just wants to generate lots of press off the back of this, if that's why then he's achieved his goal again. I'd like to see the national papers etc participate in a media blackout to see what would happen (of course they'd never ever do this the Mike Ashley circus guarantees them website hits etc).

Really hoping this parasite moves onto Rangers, they suit him better than us as he can win SPL titles with little funding which will probably give him lots of easy good press rather than working to generate bad press like he does with us. Of course there's always the possibility of someone worse coming in...
