The Fish

It's mint not giving a shiny shit about England.

Where'd you find this?

The Baggies?

Also, one of his picks was Fernandez, fair enough. But the reasons? "He goes to the gym, does his stretches and that." That's a low bar Sean, one low, fucking, bar.

Wonder if they'd be so supportive if his lass looked like CT

I'd like to see some movement this week, but honestly, I trust Howe, Ashworth and the owners to make the right transfer decisions. They're definitely going to get some wrong, because of course they are, but if Lille are acting the cunt over Botman, we can still buy centre backs that are significant upgrades on Clark, Lascelles and Fernandez. We can still buy forwards who are upgrades on Wood and Gayle, even if Reims act the cunt over Ekitike. So my eagerness to see some new player holding the scarf is just impatience. What's not been talked about much is outgoings. We have over 30 senior players at the club where maybe 7 are shoe-ins for first 11 next season. 8 really should be moved on (inc Clark). That leaves about 15-20 players who'll either be in the squad or need to be shipped out. Could we see an exodus of >10 players?

So much to unpack from that photograph. Dungeon Master with the bowl cut in the middle looks like he's already got a decent idea how to get his "Dispose of the body" badge. Flag Shagger at the back is has that manic look in his eyes that tells me this could all turn violent, very quickly...

Are you sure? Have you even tried? a little voodoo here, a little necromancy there. You'll kick yourself if you don't give it a go.

It's good. Not as good as Topgun Maverick at an IMAX screen good, but good nonetheless. Topgun is a bit stodgy in the middle, the supporting cast are 2d, but for a genuine blockbuster action film, it's better than the overwhelming majority of films I've seen recently. Yes, better than most of the Marvel films.

Back to San Francisco where we can live out our days together? Sounds dreamy

Scotty gets another one right. You and me Gemmill, you and me against the world. Boys is bonkers and brilliant. Have to be honest, I'm not remotely bothered about the Lord of the Rings thing, I'll give it a couple of episodes but not one of the shows that have tried to recreate Game of Thrones' pull has come close.

Very much the Steve Bruce aura about him. An actual decent manager would have had them safe well before they were. I always said they were staying up and only people drunk on their own self-regard got carried away predicting their relegation.

Moussa Diaby ASM

I never claimed I was, ya mook

The thing about Craig is that he's quite happy to just walk away from a disagreement...

Steady.

The rank arrogance of the man to think that, in a few years time we're going to look back at Bruce's tenure with anything but disdain. Like, when we're likely watching our team play successful football, with maybe a trophy in the cabinet or one on the horizon, we're going to elbow our mate in the ribs and say "Hey, couldn't have done it without Brucey, eh?" Fucking deluded bellend.

How will they feel when they read that their bezzy Millwall mates aren't staying in Sunderland, but would rather stay in Newcastle?

Possibly, but it's an area of real weakness for our squad.

Yeah this feels more like a Glazer type takeover than anything else. Yeehaw, Looking forward to maximising those profit margins lil buddy, Woooo!

I get the sense, that they think they're going back up as (at worst) a Championship squad. But it's not, it's a League 1 squad and not even a runaway winner of Division 3. Transfermarkt values the Sunderland squad at £16.43m, Wigan at c£13m and Rotherham at c£10m Blackpool have the lowest Championship squad value at £14.13m So for next season this gives a rough idea of where they are in the pecking order

Amen

And you're forever lifting things from social media and reacting to them!
