Got round to watching Locke, another good performance from Hardy. It's surprisingly engaging considering the plot.

I wonder if he'll take up Eliis Short's Ice Bucket nomination.

A number.

All Villa with the BT coverage, Lambert talking like they were outstanding, they were fucking woeful.

"We know we need to threaten the goal with goals". Fucking great insight Alan.

We've played some good stuff in the two games but lack any cutting edge up top. De Jong should have buried that chance.

1968-69.

Danny Welbeck anyone?

As much as we know exactly what this regime is all about, the total lack of any sort of enthusiasm in terms of signing a goalscorer this month still fucking sickens me. This will be a long and tedious season without any shadow of a doubt.

His teams in 2014 have lacked any sort of cutting edge, we are so easy to play against. We also lack any bite, giving the opposition far too much respect.

Pardew's tactics are fucking shit.

De Jong and Tiote both ruled out on sunday.

Over the past year there seems to have been a whole load of new bars rear their heads in the city, mainly of the Craft beer or Cocktail bar variety. I read that Lola Jeans of Tynemouth are opening on market street soon. What are your views on city centre drinking these days and will any of the influx of new bars have any longevity?

Starred Up, fantastic IMO.

Agree with this but he's still more solid than Taylor.

They definitely could have been a bit more creative with the writing of it, so much scope to take the story real gritty.

Like you'd class visiting London as a holiday, more like community service. Although saying that the Englishman is the minority so similar in that sense.

Gillingham away.

Watched Boyhood, good concept but not worthy of the high ratings, it's a bit boring.

"Typical sunderland, three days until the start of the season and we still haven't sorted the striker situation, instead wasting time coverting a player who it seems pretty clear is not arsed about signing for us. No doubt once again we will be the football equivalent of being pissed up in a nightclub at kicking out time, desperately prowling the dancefloor tapping up the fat birds."

Very strange move. Good luck to him.

There's no chance Tiote will be sold, Pardew loves him.
