The chairman is flying in for the match at the weekend apparently - cue the speculation

A Graeme Jones 10 game losing streak followed by a drawn out process to replace him with someone with pedigree only to give it to Michael Carrick in January. Fucking Saudi Mike Ashleys this lot. In reality, we'll probably go for Bournemouth's manager, and try and poach Semenyo...Or it's all bullshit and Howe stays and we try to poach Semenyo anyway.

When Klopp did it he evolved the tactics to dominate possession - they still pressed relentlessly whenever they were out of possession but because they had more of the ball it was less evident. It's the same as Pep, they press less purely because they have the ball more often than not. Also with Klopp it was noticeable how much shitter they became when their midfield became ancient, and leggy. Howe's approach is sustainable but we need to be far better on the ball for it to work. We played some far better stuff last season when he had us sitting deeper with fast counters using the pace of the front three.

When Luke Edwards says that Mitchell and Howe have buried the hatchet keep you eyes peeled for Saudi embassy workers leaving the training ground with bin bags filled with blood soaked training gear labelled EH. I'm sure it'll be fine.

Dennis Wise decided Modric was too lightweight for the premier league. Dennis. Wise. Pint sized Dennis Wise.

I look forward to making it 3 ballots entered with zero tickets. Meanwhile some devious bastard from New York City gets 10 tickets, free return flights and an all inclusive stay in the hilton.

This works on the basis that it would be trademark mackem to take something that clearly says "six things" and give you bonus things - none of which help their cause.

Aye, just play miggy and tino down the right since neither go near the touchline. Game on.

Here are six things to do in Sunderland: 1) Macking shite at the Glass Centre 2) Roker Beych 3) Leyve 4) Are yeh in mag land yet? 5) Honestly, marra there's nowt else. 6) Pleyse tack yeh penis owt of that sea bird.

That's a mask tbf

Footnote:

I've already shared the one pound fish man video today so I'll spare you a repeat. But this is that.

Aye. For them.

In that case all of the players on that green table were Ashley players and Fat Sam is a lying, history rewriting prick. Also, technically Sir John Hall fucked Ashley over too because it meant he had to pay off a con artist he never wanted to appoint. So it wasn't all bad. Probably saved us from having Pardew or Kinnear a lot sooner than we did.

"Howay pet, let's try and make a normal one and then we can drown Adam in the bath. Don't worry about that pet, look at him. Everyone will believe it was an accident."

Trip Advisor Review from 'BigPMitch81' for Yin Yang Massage - "Got a pinkie, but only up to the first knuckle. Barely felt anything. Absolutely shite."

Mackem 1: "Ere marra, aah heard the Saudis are selling the mags beycause the PSR is hampering them, yi nar" Mackem 2: "Hahahaha the teayrs on Tyneside will bey magnificent." Mackem 1: "Aye, aah've heard they're going to sell up and buy Villa, marra." Mackem 2: "Macks sense to me. Buy another teym that's definitely not hampered by the same rewls as the mags."

You can expect that, and hopefully Pep does too and Howe can spring a surprise on you. If we play like we have our defending will be crap and we'll barely ever break on you. We won't dominate possession either

The fella on the right with the face of a man who's just been told what a Thai lady boy will do to your ringpiece for 5000 baht.

From .com. Looks like Smith was later in the window. However, Ashley's 'freebies' included £10m of disclosed fees and an undisclosed amount for Alan Smith.

They sing the one pound fish song and the first one to mess the words up is D.
