I think a lot of football fans are for one reason or another, very much led by the media. Everton have been a fairly recent 'crisis team' and so they're now inevitably tipped for relegation. I agree that it's ridiculous, but judging by your average fan's reactions to the Pardew era here, it doesn't seem as though critical analysis of news sources is a high priority.

Moussa Sissoko signs for Spurs for like £30m or WatEVA

Insightful. -
Good bit of bonding with the father-in-law, that
-
I bet that's gone down well. It's true mind, I can't remember watching Sunderland ever play anything approaching attractive football. I may have blanked the Phillips era though, when they were admittedly a pretty good team.
-
I appreciate the pointers - I'll let you know my thoughts on the two you mentioned at least. And yes, I've signed up with Majestic as well so I'll give them a look.
-
It goes without saying really, but Fox News is an absolute disgrace.
-
I'd settle for the new manager not having to carry out a full squad overhaul following the sale of several key players.

Normally I get it from either the wine section in Fenwicks or some of the standalone wine stores you get in small country towns. Clitheroe has a particularly good one (not that it's worth visiting for any other reason really - I go quite frequently though as my g/f's family live there). I wouldn't say I have a preferred source as such, but you find much more variety in the smaller establishments than you would from supermarkets or anything like that. Anything closer to home that you'd recommend?

I thought the trailer looked pretty good actually - made me laugh a couple of times. Are those just exceptional highlights then, to draw adults in?
-
Thanks for the input. I'll start looking into what you've said, quite fancy giving both a try - I enjoy beer too tbf, but red wine has particularly got me in the past year or so, all the more now I've been able to try multiple different kinds.
-
I'm groundlessly confident that Ashley will have hired someone other than Carver within the next week or so. There's been no positive words said about Carver whatsoever.
-
What would you recommend from the French wines then? And I agree on the snobbery, but I had the feeling that if I went on about it too much on here I'd get pulled up on it very quickly I'll have a look out for a bottle of the Barolo anyway, not one that I've tried.
-
Wondered if Pardew might potentially do us a favour at the last and keep Palace up at their expense
-
So I got bought copious amounts of red wine over Christmas (fair way through a bottle currently) and have startlingly begun to appreciate the differences between certain kinds. I'm not sure I ever thought I'd get to the level of wine snobbery required to do this, but there it is. My favourite currently is Montepulciano. I think Italian reds seem to be my overall preference. Also discovered Bourbon this winter, which was a joyous moment...

A year ago I would have said the same thing but ultimately, I think it's one of those things where it actually bothers me less if I just accept that this is the way this stuff is. Agreed on your latter point - and I actually think the signs are good in that respect. Wenger doesn't look poised to make a move, and he's supposedly the only one interested. -
Do we reckon Sunderland might yet get relegated, or is that wishful thinking? They're starting to look a bit precarious.
-
I think, whoever we get, we should remember that a serious alternative is Carver. That prospect alone should buy the new manager some time as far as we're all concerned.

No point in getting worked up about it in my opinion. I'd actually rather the players were honest about it than just jumping ship without any notice. The only thing I find frustrating is that the club, normally through Pardew, would now start hawking him around the PL. Since Pardew isn't here, maybe this won't happen. -
That is a bit of a cheap goal tbf... Janmaat not doing us any favours blocking Krul either. Unfortunate.

All reasonable really, even though it stings a little to hear him talk about going to a bigger club. -
4+ probably. Same as I did every time Pardew guided us to such defeats.
-
I'm just pleased that we didn't disgrace ourselves to be honest. Would have been very easy to do so. Moving on to the next game now anyway...
-
Very true!
-
Very clever...
