He needs to know where the line is.

No.

Now we're fucking talking

aye.

They are a English side. I know theyre scum. But at least theyre British scum. For some reason my apostrophe doesnt work.

Erm, why is everyone writing off Ferdinand straight away? He's a brilliant young player. In no way "Bramble-esque". For the first time in ages I'm very excited by at least two of these signings, with Reo Coker being a kinda "meh" signing, but jesus, I'd take him at the moment.

"We Hate Sunderland... We hate Sunderland..." Brilliant. International Mackem baiting.

Absolutely loved the reaction of the ball-boy when Martins lost it with the throw in! Shat himself! Le Sib bossed the defence there. GET IN!

Martins is having a wee bit of a stinker. Le Sib does NOT look happy.

Or, are we being nice about what is essentially a shite game?

Duff looks lively, and at least we're starting to click now.

Why isn't there an official match thread?

3-1 Toon. Sib, Oba, Butt.

3-1. Couldn't bring myself to put a bet on though.

I'll join in. The Arse are playing wonderfully.

He snubbed Man Utd for us. That's good enough for me.

Imagine if Big Al does take over as Manager at some point, and we get relegated. Will they take it down? Seems a bit soon.

I'm still giggling at the term "He's had as much stick as anybody else...". Stick.. like, cock. Heh.

Agreed. Oh, and Heskey and Rosenior, are RUBBISH. Viduka or Ashton as a new striker if we need one.

It's amazing how much Tony Adams looks like Jimmy Nail.

I know. Brilliant, wasn't it.

Just watched MOTD. A few things: Obafemi is immense. That is all. Bramble barely tried to stop the first goal. Lazy lump of shite. When he stopped Bellamy's later attempt I swear he didn't know where the ball was. Get shot of him. Well done Stevie Taylor for getting straight back up after he (ever so slightly theatrically) went down in the box. THAT'S how you win a penalty. Stevie Harper is the physical embodiment of how erratic and inconsistent we are as a team. Baba deserves a fuck load of respect. I don't rate him as a player, but that takes balls like.

Well at least we're consistently inconsistent.

I was following the text commentary and every other phrase was "clearance by Onyewu". Can't wait for MOTD.

Jesus. What the fuck is with this club.
