Have just been reading RTG to see how their race for strikers is going and it is predictably amusing this far With the caveat that they may well get in a striker, the chain of events seems to be as follows: 1 - Stewart Donald spends January giving it the big un about the mighty financial power of Sunderland and how 'most championship clubs would want the budget that SAFC has' 2 - Maja, a totally mediocre striker but also their only outlet all season of note, is sold. 3 - Donald claims they will get two new strikers in no problem. 4 - They arse around with a bid for Will Grigg. Deadline day comes in, Sunderland bid £1.5m, Wigan turn around and demand £3m since 'most championship clubs would want Sunderland's budget'. Sunderland mysteriously go quiet. 5 - At midday, it is announced on SSN that an unnamed PL striker is having a medical with a view to a loan move. Nothing is then heard about this for several hours, until eventually SSN reveal that actually, that never happened. Meaning it was a ruse to make SAFC look less desperate than they actually are. A ruse seemingly bought by no one. So as things stand, they have one senior striker in the squad, and he's beyond terrible. It could all change, but they're absolutely frantic about it. The thread that was started about the PL loan player at lunch time has his 70+ pages in a few hours

He'll stick it out to the end of the season I think and then go once his contract is up if Ashley is still the owner when that time comes.

I am in complete shock that Donald has turned out to be nothing but a bullshitter. Who saw that coming?

Might be the blind optimist in me but I reckon Muto has more than he’s shown too. Could be coming back off an Asian Cup win as well, providing Qatar’s extraordinary doping plan doesn’t prove too much.

He's been given 23. Nee pressure like but Shola will be ensuring you do that number justice!

I'd also like to know why we need a loan rather than paying in installments like everyone else does.

Cats are predators tbf, just living up to their mascots.

Creased that he's give it the big bollocks about having money and now everyone is demanding more for transfers

I wonder if the discount we got on him after a year of playing hardball is more or less than the loan fees we've paid for Kenedy as an alternative to just signing him earlier.

I think I might go for the greens next time out.

Me neither. I hate the lot of the cunts. Democracy? Idiocracy more like.

Big loss

More cover would be good but we’re still in a better position than we were you would think, even in wide positions, as those who’ve been allowed to leave are probably cover at best. And I seem to remember Perez having played wide a bit. He’s not good enough to play as a no. 10 anyway but he’s played there because we haven’t had anyone else

He can whip some balls in to Joselu. Can't wait

Quality that we've got these 2 in. I dont want to be the one to put a downer on it but lets be real here, we know we were scouting Almerion through the summer so why the fuck didnt Ashley just pull the trigger then? Its so fucking frustrating man, think about what it took for him to spend some mon- uh.. take out a loan The dreaded hope is back now.. maybe he will fuck off after all this summer and Rafa will sign a 5 year deal with new owners. LMAO

All in all not only is his running of the club absolutely pathetic, it’s also shady as fuck. Won’t be surprised to see him done at some point for some sort of money related crimes.. I just hope the club isn’t dragged into at as well

That’s chocking.

Do please fuck right off

Take it. If it's shite you can always sack it off and go back to what you were doing before. Unfortunately society is now at the point where you need to earn a decent wage if you have any desire to retire and live comfortably the right side of 70.

The thick cunt will be along soon to put you all right

i'm starting to think may's strategy might pay off. her masochistic resilience is all about running the clock down, so we get to a point where labour panic and back her deal because it's that or we go over the cliff edge. the tories certainly don't want to be remembered as the government that oversees the economic ruin of no deal - it'd make them unelectable for a generation or more. the question is who blinks first: does may soften her deal to get it through parliament, or does Labour facilitate her shitty brexit vision because the alternative is too terrifying to contemplate?

Do you accept that Corbyn doesn't actually want a second vote and in fact wants a unicorn Brexit. Who was it that first demanded A50 was enacted again? This is what happens when you end up with a rebel with a sixth former's grasp of politics and economics behind the wheel of the main opposition party. I'm just surprised anyone is surprised.

At least it’s not hard ons for little kids eh.

Enough Tory rebels seem to vote against her, that a Labour leader with an actual plan or point of view could capitalise, but it doesn't matter because the country has no leadership at all. This is the worst kind of 'governing by consensus', it's a collective of people who have no idea what they're doing, no overall strategy or goal, and as such they're voting all over the place with no unified outcome in mind. Hence we get contradictions like yesterday. That is why we'll end up with No Deal. May - and this is fucking unbelievable for me - actually has to win this. She has to. I actually want Theresa May to win now, mostly because it gives me an extra 2 years to escape. That's how abhorrent this has become. She's created an absolute nightmare and has somehow managed to get to a point where I actually support her because, and it depresses me more than anything to say this, Corbyn has utterly failed to take a stand on this and create meaningful opposition to it. Just as Renton and ewerk, to be fair to them, have said for years. Even in the past two months he could have changed the course of this by just fucking standing up for 48% of the country. Corbyn will never be PM - not because he's too left wing, but because he's a fucking coward.

From the point of view of maintaining the country, this is an absolute disgrace. No one in Labour should have voted against anything that was going to make May's life easier on political principle anyway, but to take us right to the edge of the abyss with no plan whatsoever, and no information suggesting that there is actually any positive outcome from no deal, is irresponsible to the point of surely being criminal. This is major economic harm we're talking about. When this goes through, honestly, I think there should be a political inquisition. What is also clear, is that Labour's stance on this is making the whole thing even worse. The reason parliament is all over the place is mostly because Corbyn won't wake the fuck up. May can't wake up, she needs to go on with this delusion, but there is nothing compelling Corbyn to do the same. Nothing. He is now another person prepared to throw the country under the bus to win a GE. The thing is, I won't fucking vote for this. Even if my vote was the deciding vote between a Tory government and a Labour one, I wouldn't vote. I am done with supporting this hopeless mess of a political system. None of them give a shit about what is best for the country minus a few principled people across the house - there is no one to rally around to oppose the government because Corbyn refuses to be that man - it's pathetic. Beyond pathetic. It's doubtful now that No Deal will even break the Tories since we seem to have allowed them to manufacture a way to blame everything on the EU - so the only good reason for no deal to happen is now out of the window. Honestly, I'm looking at this and just thinking yeah, maybe I should just fucking leave the country. Maybe I should.

Corbyn.
