So am I! saw them at Glastonbury, the lead singer was like a gibbon... Still on the 90s theme.... Shola, our budgie, is tweeting along to "dirty epic" by Underworld

lets get this right...des is a plumber for a local authority, surrounded all day by the worst type of spongeing scrounging scumbags the north east has to offer?

Sunderland need to win it to get into the Europa League http://www.premierleague.com/en-gb/news/features/european-competition-qualification.html

Don't want to be an apologist for Manu but its bacon face's squad, no proper investment for 5 or 6 years due to the Glazers leaveraged buy out (rvp papered over a lot of cracks) and without Rooney and the aforementioned for most of the season. Having said all that, apart from tonight watching them this season has been a joy

If you looked further back in this thread you'll find some other troll had mentioned this earlier today. No need to thank me

Do we have any traditions that are deemed criminally offensive in 2014?... http://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2014/jan/21/football-fans-charged-yid-spurs-matches Wiil the call this "Baddiel's Law" in the future?

pass on my regards to your daughter and her fellah CT, you really are getting a lot of totally underserved credit for your tiny role in this happy event...my failry reasonable parents turned into jabbering fuckwits the moment the first granchild appeared, but it would appear you've already been on that course

Footballer managers, CEO's of FTSE 100 companies & other assorted corporate fucktards..... anyone else get instant millionaire status for being fuckin useless?.... If Allardyce and Pulis go down this season it may send a message that stoneage tactics no longer work in this division to any great extent, you've got to play some football...

He's always like that with me

Which de Jong?...we've been linked with the two brothers?.....not their backward in bred cousin Nigel?

your rightish, but there's not enough made of Ferguson having the officials in in his back pocket where Moyes this season hasn't. For me it's having an effect.

Well yeah, they're not exactly the same type of player as we speak.If it all pans out how it's looking this weekend though we're getting a player who plays pretty much in a different area of the pitch. Anita is 24, old enough to know his trade but still young enough to develop further, add more more strings to his bow etc. Theyre both predominantly passers of the ball, that's their main function in the team, and Anita is good with both feet. One thing Anita will have to work on is his goal threat but with Cabaye taking most set pieces he'll get a go at it. He's not scared of a challenge either but sometimes appears easily shoved aside, whilst Cabaye is pretty uncompromising physically, verging on being a dirty bastard at times. Perhaps if it goes through Sissoko will play a bit more centrally, try to punch holes in central defences with his power and pace, and this Cabella will play wider. Not sure really, but I don't think we're getting a direct replacement in this window at least. That's why I think Anita will have to step up and show a bit more, and I do think he was earmarked for this when he first came to the club.

Aye, we'll forget about his F.A. empowered campaign of subtle cheating to gain an advantage for a quarter of a century, that's probably got nowt to do with why they're struggling this season....

Shankly had won the title in 72/73 and beaten us in the cup final in 73/74 so it's fair to say he had a canny side....Paisleys side won the title and European cup the season after he retired under Joe Fagan....Dalglish won the double after he took over...they had it fuckin sussed back then, no doubt about it. Hillsborough eventually finished all that though. I think Dalglish had PTSD when he jacked in in 91 and they've never been the same since.

Go on then, who is the greatest?...

Some legacy bequeathed by "the greatest manager EVER!!!" Mind when Sir Matt finished up they were relegated within 3 or 4 seasons.... I wonder....

Is this Cabella lad just another talented Frenchie who is available and comparatively cheap? Most of our signings in the last 3 years have struck me as being of that nature, with Pardew getting the job of piecing them together somehow. Without Europe this season he seems to have sussed what to do with who and we've had some very good performances, with Cabaye at the heart of most of them. Him leaving would leave a huge gap, but wee Vurnon as many have mentioned is looking more and more the part. If there is indeed a "transfer policy" and I'm not giving enough credit to Graham Carr & co, then perhaps we can see that Cabaye's replacement ("if and when" ) is already here and has had a season and a half to get used to the premier league? Or is that crediting the club with too much common sense?....

I think when the nuns are taking the cock it may be time for the Catholic Church to have a fuckin proper word with itself

If Arsenal are serious about winning the title would signing the likes of Cabaye make sense? If there is a bid, one look at the league table would tempt anyone, World Cup year or not. He's off in the summer for champions league football anyway, if he can squeeze in a league title as well before then he may think its well worth it. He's been mostly very good this season, and on occasions (like the last two games) utterly fabulous.

We usually do the frightfully poash Alburfera for a long weekend round Euros/WC time but I was informed over the festive period that this year we're having a change....Benidorm for the England v Italy 11pm ko weekend
