Banshee isn't banned from RTG, he just prefers to have a conversation with normal people.

How old is he like? Are you married Banshee? Kids? Any hobbies or interests outside of football forums?

Quote the thickos in the Di Canio thread and take the piss out of them. Seems most people wre gutted you got rid of O'Neil as they knew he was the problem. Unlike the thick cunts who call themselves Sunderland supporters, most people who had a clue about football knew he was shit and your problem. As for Di Canio, bit of an unknown quantity, opinions on both sides were expressed on his abilities. The main point of the debate focussed on the politics. Have the Durham Miners changed their mind on the back of the new manager bounce or are thy going to wait and see how things pan out next season? What do you do for a living by the way?

Well aye and I think Pardew deserves a lot of criticism but if we are creating good chances (at a rate that is expected from the games we are playing in) then some of the blame has to be shouldered by the players too. Overall he has had a poor season but if he keeps us up, he deserves another crack at it.

If we create a lot of chances but only have the quality to convert what? 8%? Then I assume that people who are critical of the manager expect Pardew to send out a team set up to create at least an extra 10 chances per game. Based on what is therefore needed in a game that has 1 goal in it. Pardew critics, if our chance creation to conversion rate is so poor, for us to win more games we need to create significantly more chances. Given the conversion rate is so low, is this realistic?

How lush?

Going to see Engelbert Humperdinck's Hansel & Gretel tonight. In German.

Inherently equinophobic horseshop. I actually thought of that on Monday.

There will be a campaign to 'protect thoroughbreds from the inbreds' i'm sure. This cunt from Bedlington, either inside his head he thinks he thinks he's Tom Hagen or he has been severely scarred by an episode of food poisoning from a supermarket lasagne.

Is that just to wind up the visitors from RTG or do you genuinely believe there is such a thing as 'normal service' in modern football where each side is populated with people with only limited experience and knowledge of the north east?

I have to say the behaviour of the fans has turned this from a derby defeat into an utter embarrassment. I dont care if the mackems were also smashing the place up, their lot can get embarrassed for them. I was expecting a tough match and all the circumstances pointed to a genuinely difficult game for us (where the fuck did the mackem-esque delusion pre-match come from?) so in the end the defeat was always a possibility. Punching a horse though Its close to hanging a monkey in mentality.

On the news in Brazil apparently. Or at least the Portuguese news channel in Brazil. The horse punching, not the song.

I was praying that we didnt score an early goal. Anyone who thinks that going into an early lead last night would have been good for us hasnt understood a single fucking thing about their experiences at St James park. In fact 2-0 up at half time would have been the most dangerous score as it would have guaranteed Williamson would have had his arse handed to him in the second half. At 1-3 on aggregate early goals against a dangerous attack will lead this team into to a 'backs to the wall' second half, i dont think you have to have watched us that much to know that. Pardew was about 2 centimetres away from getting it absolutely spot on. Thats the distance between where Ben Arfa hit the ball and where he needed to hit it for it to go lower and slightly to the side of the keeper. Small margins indeed.

So if you dont beat Barcelona, you're tactics are wrong?

See Line Woman. Respect. There is a fabulous version on The Cinematic Orchestra's Late Night Tales.

On matchday, i think it is. It may be temporary as they seem to be moving stuff around but if you're picking tickets up today its from the windows on the gallowgate outside 'concourse' or whatever you call it.

Box office is just further up on the right before the first platinum club entrance, matchday box office is around on the gallowgate.

Bit harsh, yes. Forced analogies with Marx's theory of society when the language of strategies and tactics (in sport or business) is based on 1000s of years of warfare. Is what i meant.

What a load of shite.

FYP

I like the buckles. Not just because it rhymes with huckles either.
