I agree, it's something we need, especially in a key position like centre back. it's also making sure that player is good though. As has been pointed out we are kind of limited as to who we can realistically expect to sign that fits the bill. I can only really think of 2 or 3 centre backs who are bette than we've got, have top flight experience and would join us. Scott Dann is one of them.

Didn't you just say I was on ignore?

Oh, when he was out injured?! What a surprise!!

Dean Marney once said Turner should be in the England squad, he's never said that about Dann.

Good to see your obsession with me shows no signs of abating.

Jut pointing out that Premier League experience doesn't automatically make someone a good player. Jimi Traore has won the champions league FFS!

That was an awful tackle on Bellamy. Could easily have snapped his leg.

Doesn't it just. At least I can console myself in my dark and dingy bedsit.

Would this be the injury prone Michael Turner who has averaged 20 games a season over the last 3 seasons? Is this the same Micheal Turner that has been kept out of the Sunderland side by the mighty Titus Bramble? Can it be the Micheal Turner tht Sunderland rate so highly they are allowing him to leave for less than half what they paid for him even though Wes Brown is injured and out for the first month of the season? Or is there another exceptional centre half at Sunderland that goes by the same name tht I'm not aware of?

Well that's taken the shine off an otherwise positive first few weeks of preseason.

Odd isn't it. 4 hours after going off line, it's stil going on. Everyones offended And those who were so quick to jump to offence and on the bandwagon now suddenly find it boring to back up their claims. They surely must have read the whole thread to form the opinion there was bullying going on, yet now suddenly can't remember where they saw it and can't be bothered to look for it. There are some serious weirdos on this forum.

No I haven't, he still about, just taking more of a backseat for a while.

You beat me to it. Some of the UAE players look excellent. Technically spot on.

I'm not. But this thread has had about 2 pages of people moaning about other people ruining the thread, when in fact no such thing has happened at all, as Tokoyo has already pointed out.

Just a bit of good natured stuff, it's a fine balancing act. The lads at work say that i've got it nailed. Say something nice but in a way that the girl isn't sure if i'm taking the p*ss or not. Although i'm reminded to this day of a ****ed up conversation with an attractive girl at work but with a high opinion of herself when i told her she was a 6 that thinks shes a 9.

Funny isn't it, the last page and a half have been off all the holier than thou posters ganging up on the so called bullies and trolls and spending 50+ posts arguing and having a go at them about hijacking a thread and inventing some sort of bullying that is supposedly taking place. Oh the irony.

For Spanish also see Italians. Stunning up until they hit about 40, then it all goes down hill. I'm off to near Venice in a 5 weeks for another and expect the women to be as stunning as the city.

No i'm not. I'm describing the two types of groups which best describe the majority of women in my organisation. If i'd said "my work is packed full of 20-40 year old blokes (which is also is) of varying attractiveness. There seems to be two types, either the boyband wannabe, parrot heads with deep v-t-shirts and skin tight trousers,whist the others are fat, usless disasters of human beings" would that also be sexist?

No i dont. Please explain why it is.

I've just been told on the main board this thread is sexist!

I presume the irony is clearly lost on you that you are all doing exactly the same thing as you are having a go at me for.

:lol:

Why? What have i said that is bullying and what about the thread on the lounge is sexist?

I agree, i like women to be ladies, if you know what i mean. There are few things more vulgar than seeing a fat woman with a tatoo on her arm drinking a pint. Regarding the northern bird on This Morning and her hatred of men who like football, then i'm not surprised she's single. Not wanting a bloke who likes football rules out about 80% of blokes and most blokes i know that dont like football are really wierd (although this forum proves that quite a few that do are as well). Couple that with a pint drinking bird and you've got a sealed over gash waiting to happen.

Err, prehaps that's because i dont think the plans look terrible??
