[Marc Overmars]

Apparently when Chakma was booked for diving last week one of his pub team teammates started on him. Which prompted Holloway to get involved as well. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Liverpool 3-1 Palace, FT.
Cardiff 1-2 Barcodes, FT.

[Master Splinter]

Hi gays!

Stoke's new possession tactics don't seem to be working, shockingly.

When we play Liverpool, we should set up a ten-man wall to go into half time at 0-0. Then smash them 5-0 in the second period.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sunderland: Westwood, Celustka, O'Shea, Roberge, Colback, Cattermole, Ki, Johnson, Gardner, Giaccherini, Altidore.
Subs: Cabral, Larsson, Wickham, Cuellar, Mannone, Ji, Borini.

Man Utd: De Gea, Rafael Da Silva, Jones, Vidic, Evra, Carrick, Cleverley, Nani, Rooney, Januzaj, van Persie.
Subs: Giggs, Smalling, Lindegaard, Hernandez, Welbeck, Valencia, Kagawa.

Referee: Chris Foy (Merseyside)

Fellaini. :lol:

Money well spent.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Stoke being a pub team doesn't work away, Stoke playing tiki-taka doesn't work away. Beginning to think they might be little bit shit.

Moyes :lol: Why are you even still bothering?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

He's a trier.

[Rors]

United could be 16th when all is done this weekend. Pinch me.

[Rors]

No comment from me on the result earlier, because, well, there doesn't sound much to comment on. The entertainers us,y'know....

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Eggchasing. :lol:

[Rors]

Doing the rounds on 'social networking websites':


I honestly believe Man Utd will win the league under Moyes next season. They'll face stiff competition from Blackpool and Watford though.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Complete waste from Nani.

[Munchies]

This chinese fella for Sunderland is shit, breaking down all their play

[Rors]

:pray:

[Dennis Bendtner]

Altidore is so awkward. Giving Vidic a torrid time though.

[Syn]

Doing the rounds on 'social networking websites':

:lol:

substituting 'championship' for 'league' would've been little bit Wenger pun as well.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Evra cross, Westwood well to it.

[Globalgunner]

He''ll probably screw that job up too. Fergie back in as interim manager by Xmas

[Rors]

:lol:

substituting 'championship' for 'league' would've been little bit Wenger pun as well.

"Little bit? I don't know" etc

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Gardner booked.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

He''ll probably screw that job up too. Fergie back in as interim manager by Xmas

And Scholes back too.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

I'd also like to remind you that when we had bad times here, the club stood by me, all my staff stood by me, the players stood by me. Your job now is to stand by our new manager.

[Syn]

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sunderland 1-1 Man Utd, Januzaj.

[Rors]

Aw, I was enjoying that!! :(

[Syn]

Things are less funny now.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Gardner off, Larsson on.

[Munchies]

:ilt:

ffs

[Dennis Bendtner]

Moize with the nonchalant 'business as usual' celebration. Nah mate.

[Rors]

Moize with the nonchalant 'business as usual' celebration. Nah mate.

He knows. He knows.

[Syn]

Moize with the nonchalant 'business as usual' celebration. Nah mate.

He's at the big time now. What a man.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Altidore's strength must be at 99 but skill left down at 0.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

RVP. :lol:

[Rors]

Beginner's luck......

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sunderland 1-2 Man Utd, Januzaj. What a goal.

[Munchies]

ffs

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Here's Macheda 2.0 to ruin the day.

[Syn]

Who is this cunt?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Shut up Neville.

[Rors]

Here's Macheda 2.0 to ruin the day.

Don't bring him up.... :(

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Johnson off, Dong on.

[Rors]

A fine fine goal, but okay Twitter, with the "new Cruyff" stuff. Yes really. Unless they mean Jordi of course

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Possession was about the same for the first half, Nev.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wazza. :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ki off, Wickham on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nani and Januzaj hauled off, Welbeck and Valencia on.

[Munchies]

Ki off, Wickham on.


Finally, this guy is fucking shit

[Dennis Bendtner]

O'shea is terrible. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cattermole with some sexy control. O'Shea booked, as was Rafael a few minutes before that.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great ball across goal from Larsson, nobody attacking it.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

When did O'Shea turn in to Baresi?

Rafael off injured, Smalling on

[Dennis Bendtner]

:haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

RVP. :haha:

What a miss.

[GP]

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Five added minutes.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Come on Dunderland!

[Dennis Bendtner]

Get it in the mixer

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Get it in the mixer!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sunderland. :lol:

Absolute shite.

[Munchies]

Ah well :(

Sunderland going down.

Had perfect chance to take the lead , didn't ffs

[Dennis Bendtner]

Tim Westwood :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Westwood. :haha:

Cleverley didn't bother doing anything with it.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sunderland 1-2 Man Utd, FT. Sunderland :wave:

Moyes keeps his job. :dance:

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Don't bring him up.... :(

Well at least Doncaster will have something to look forward to...

[Master Splinter]

Clubs like Sunderland are just destined to go up and down for all of time. West Brom are perhaps the only ones to break this eternal trend. Going with more imaginative choices like Di Matteo and Clarke probably helped them improve over the years rather than sticking with the tired and tested mediocrity of Bruce and MON. I suppose Di Canio was a break from the dreary norm, but his being mental was always going to be a downside.

[AFC Leveller]

gutted to have missed out on Remy. Can play wide left or cetrally and has proven he can get goals at this level. 2 again today.

he's on loan at the bar codes so we can always bid for him in the summer. Quality player.

[Master Splinter]

Alan in Nottingham via text: Cleverley's selection is baffling, but why the hate for Jones and Smalling?

Because they're shit?

In multiple positions in Jones' case.

[Syn]
