Howay

Aye howay CT man you'd honestly select Perch to start if Cabaye was out? I'd far rather see Ben Arfa, Vuckic, Abeid or Gosling fill that void than a very poor right back playing out of position. I wouldn't, smiley might. Bit over analysis chaps tbf. I started off saying I'd take a point. I would. Fair do's, I'd take a point too btw.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/16661074.stm That picture of him man, how he can criticize anyone when he dresses like that.

Once Ben Arfa is fully integrated and playing week in week out we'll definitely not miss him. I'm of the same opinion tbh his twitter escapades are just becoming worse and worse.

I agree and really dislike Warnock but Barton should just let the man show himself up and get on with his game rather than constantly having to voice his opinion on everything.

I generally agree with that but in the case of Barton the man is a gobby little shitehawk with violent tendencies. So no, I don't think we'd be better off. Anyway my question was do you think he's been badly missed? From what I've read recently and his recent twitter rants he'd of been a negative to have for the atmosphere of the team, I agree with Leazes that from an ability standpoint having him in the squad would be good (we'd of not seen Obertan as much for a start) but I feel that the detriment he would have brought to the squad and his one man mission against Ashley and Dekka (whether you agree with his points or not it doesn't do our team much good) were too much of a negative to want him in the side currently. Plus how many players would really want to come to a club where the players led by the heroic Barton and Nolan are having a very public war of words with the Clubs ownership and management.

Suarez and Daglish say it doesn't exist.

He should just get back on the booze, at least then he could blame a certain amount of why he's a bellend on being intoxicated. Honestly man it's like he's replaced alcohol with Twitter, the gap between his stopping of drinking alcohol and finding twitter is surely his least controversial off field and most consistent/prolific on field period of his career. Now he's little more than an Alan Brazil type (albeit with actual knowledge of the game).

I like these quote alot, getting Colo signed up on a good contract puts us in a great position and it's a good statement of intent that we do want to hold onto our best players (aye I know unless a mental bid comes in like the Carroll one).

Agree that Bartons been a mug by even mentioning the bloke, but I can't believe Glitter has people defending him and calling Barton a hypocrite because of 'his own checkered past' comparing a few assaults to a child molester . He's asking to be on Piers Morgans show in all, wouldn't be surprised if that attention whore did interview him. They are both cunts. We all know what Glitter did was worse but we don't need joey chopper barton to be the one leading the charge against him Agreed he's a cunt but I wouldn't jump to Glitters defence against him like people are.

Ahh no idea it was originally from caughtoffside just seen people on about it on here, I'm more worried about Krul than Ba tbh.

This is the thing like, also if they're so MASSIVE why do they have our reserve goalie as their first choice keeper? the bloke who couldnt handle Leeds in summer Using their stats from before they're bigger than Manchester United and Arsenal combined, I wonder what their opinions are on Portuguese clubs similar league in the fact that only 3 have a shot at winning it (guess that makes it a bit more of a challenge than the SPL to start with). If you read the thread we're the Geordie Malaga trying to compete with Benfica they're saying This is the thing like, also if they're so MASSIVE why do they have our reserve goalie as their first choice keeper? fucking idiots. Historically we are a better supported club than them, all they have over us is they beat 5 teams to win the European Cup. Regarding the Forster situation they're countering that by saying our keeper is a failed Falkirk back up goalie. They believe it all you know, all of it, and they have no comprehension or understanding about how insignificant they are, I mean you can go a year forgetting they even exist! Apparently "MONs Celtic" was better than any toon team ever too. I think the team that went down were as good ffs. They make ye laugh though. Failed Falkirk back up, it's hardly like we bought him off them we loaned a what? 18 year old kid out to them and from what I remember at the time he did an ok job in an abysmal Falkirk side, plus if our keeper's so bad what's it say about Foster if he can't get a game over him. I agree they're a funny bunch like, fucking better than any toon side? fucking hell Not a single player in their current side would make our starting 11 imo, Scott Brown might make the bench, Gary Hooper's their star striker man Scunthorpes Gary Hooper. Kenny Miller and Kris Boyd have been two of their rivals best strikers recently and they played for the worst team in premiership history and a woeful boro championship side. It's an insult to any Prem side being compared to them, if they were to join the Premiership they'd be relegated iirc the side we had under Roeder played Rangers and pumped them 4-1 in pre-season, we finished 14th and Rangers beat Celtic twice and won the title.

Put Wigan in that league and they'd win it with their team, honestly man it's like claiming league two titles and johnstones paint trophys as achievements.

Can Ba even move during this window? he was still playing for Hoffenheim a year ago as of today and iirc you can't play for more than 3 clubs in a year. He moved to West Ham on January 28th so maybe that's the only time he could move? I don't see him going this window, more worried about the summer.

If he wastes loads of chances and he has scored 37 in 65 games, how many chances are one of the worst sides in the Bundesliga creating for him like?! Even if the mackem has seen this lad's every match his opinion is as flimsy as any football fan's. Aye I thought the same he claims he's watched every game but he was talking as if they were flying high . The second point is key like if this lad was so knowledgeable why are Sunderland not paying him to scout for them, doesn't stop the mackems lapping it up like. I've never seen the lad play myself and the stats, while impressive, guarantee fuck all. But I'm very much looking forward to seeing him play for us and the meltdown over the water over his signing has already paid back some of the fee. Can you imagine a similar reaction by Newcastle fans if he'd gone to Sunderland? What a bunch of fucking idiots. Aye I agree the stats, although good, don't mean he'll be a success. I trust our scout team enough to be excited by this, agreed that their reaction is absolutely mental I posted a link in another thread to them having a thread all about 'let's find targets that knocked them back for us' and included Gardener (I'd never heard us linked to him) and Larsson (who I thought we'd give up on when Birmingham pulled the deal the window before). Either way I don't understand why that matters to them I guess they're back to looking for other things to pick at us over as the few year blip of them finishing above us is (hopefully) over.

The mackem that reckoned he wasted loads of chances posted something showing he has 9 goals from 60 shots, sounds like he's not too good at analyzing players tbh as a goal every 6ish shots is a good return for comparison David Villa has 18 goals from 121 shots over all the games he played this season (cup and league) and I wouldn't say Villa lacked composure. Seems like a lad just trying to look knowledgeable to me.

Agree with that, good post.

It's was over 100 years ago. Long before subs were used. I think we won the league that season and Sunderland lost 8-1 to Burnley or someone like that in the same year. If that doesn't sum those fuckers up A mackem I know used this as his defence after BOTH the 4-1 at the stadium of shite and the 5-1 from last season his fucking granda wasn't even born when they beat us 9-1 the daft bastard, just ask them the scorers there's nee comeback. This one is really cringeworthy http://www.readytogo...ad.php?t=664917 a whole thread looking for people that they think snubbed us for them, oh dear. If we ever went head to head for a player and were willing to offer the same wages and transfer fee the player would choose us over them guaranteed.

Divvent let the facts get in the way of a good yarn man.

Sorry for the mental post but it's good to finally be able to look a bit more positively at things (not in your camp just yet CT but I'm more understanding) and be excited for our future once again as it's been quite a while since I was. The camps have all been flattened. We are now just one big happy family. Team Carpe Diem tbf Aye it's there or there about.
