He loves taking up that position in the box, finally something comes of it. Lovely feet from Bruno in the lead up.

Longers!

Toon Flight radar has picked up an unscheduled incoming flight

Expecting Moyes to have one of his players injure Gordon is a new level of delusion for the seething whack jobs, truly are the scouse mackems.

More like Anita Vurnon.

That's a low effort picture selection @Monkeys Fist surely you can do better?

Absolutely; I was a very close repeat observer of the I know where it's at and Never Ever film clips.

She had aged well, especially if you take personality into account - that's why I had the caveat of in the 90s. She's probably the only one who has improved with age. Wouldn't say no to any of them, though I've had to close my eyes with Posh these days.

Here's hoping.

Think it currently prevents them from registering any new players. Only a day and a bit to go in the window so don't expect they'd sort things out that quickly with all the moving parts involved.

Doesn't their embargo mean they can't bring in any new players themselves?

Possibly this massive Norwegian from Sheffield United on loan initially. That way if he works they can keep him or else they can stick with their original plans for the summer.

Yes, you're right. Should have just said Sporty.

As per Gloomy and Wyki was looking forward to see how he could fit in. He was the fittest he had ever been and genuinely motivated to earn a spot in the team. On some level he knew that this was his chance to go out on a high so he was doing all he could to make the most of it including being positionally more diligent, defensively more active and generally more disciplined, the three biggest criticisms that have plagued his career. He matured a few seasons too late to be honest. I thought he had triggered his extension here, but that must not be the case. Howe believed in him and was all set to bring him back into the rotation before his second injury. Perhaps now Shelvey sees Longstaff embedded and Gordon and Isak taking another forward/midfield position making it harder for him to crack a spot. If he doesn't go he's the kind of depth we should keep IMO, someone different and skilled who could potentially offer a lot of value in training.

Aye and my point when I started writing was supposed to be if you're going to make a story up go all out, don't be like I had sex with one of the Spice Girls in the 90s and then say it was Mel B.

He's called up Stevie Taylor to see if he has any ideas.

Even if it's true it's more or less indication that the "group of lads" reluctantly went thinking it was going to be absolute shit. Best case is they got drunk enough to have a good time and told the Mackems that despite it being Sunderland they still had a decent time. And more likely is they had to twist their arms to go in the first place and then were so desperate for them to have a good time that the visiting lads would have felt obliged to tell him that the fans were 'brilliant'. Apart from that even in his embellished retelling the other comments aren't even particularly complementary. Can you imagine being so bitter that 17 years after an opposing team's player retired you'd still be singing about them in a game that doesn't even involve their old club. It's absurd.

Joelinton not so sure about the latest addition to the gold tops.

Craig if you're not careful.

Lascelles won't have been happy about Murphy snatching his title of Master of Shithousery with such a flawlessly executed manouvre when he'd worked so hard for it. I daresay he'll be head down in the newly built Centre for Excellence in Shithousing trying to imagine a way back to the top.
