Sour Mash

Didn't sell the full allocation at Norwich last year or Stoke or come anywhere close at Everton.

What is actually offensive about this article? Not the greatest of taste, but hardly deeply offensive either.

Exactly that. Served us very well in the Championship. Put in a decent performance against Bristol City the other night.

How long do you think we'll have to wait for the date of this to be confirmed? How likely is it that the game could be brought forward a week? Would be fairer in Sunderland than playing on the Tuesday of the allocated week.

0-0 draw. Two teams cancel each other out trying to control possession. Small crowd and poor atmosphere on a Sunday lunchtime.

It is. Great to see us tax payers will no longer have to subsidise a house that is bigger/more expensive than they really need.

Maybe they'll be given the day off to attend interviews? Maybe it will do them good to be in a working environment of some kind, we're often told how long-term unemployed get into a rut and bad habits. Maybe many of this country's tax paying populace want to see that those receiving benefits paid out of our taxes are at least giving a little back to society in return.

Block 42/The Northam struggles more than anything these days unless its really, really simple. Had some near me on Saturday singling "Oooohhh Dani Osvaldo" to the Ramirez song. Lambert's song hasn't been sung properly for years.

That's my point.

Yes, that's why we're always seeing articles linking JWP to moves to Chelsea and Man Utd, the same as Shaw aren't we? What about S. Davis and Rodriguez who you also value at £12m?

ANy idea of how many have been sold so far?

Really good read that, has he signed a contract with the Daily Mail for them to do a weekly piece on him?

Steven Davis, Rodriguez or JWP wouldn't go for £12m would they?

He's hardly played for club or country in the last year, so fatigue really shouldn't be an issue.

But Wanyama makes up for any of that by being able to win the ball back quickly, not really the case with Ramirez. See MP’s quotes about our defensive approach starting from keeping possession. For what it’s worth, I’d like to see Ramirez, as he’d give us that potential spark of genius that I think we’ve been lacking so far, but I can’t see MP trusting him enough to give him the game time as things currently stand.

The commentators on the Football first highlights on sky said that MP had brought in Davis for Rodriguez in order to keep hold of the ball more; if it’s that important for MP, can’t see him starting Ramirez in too many games. I think Ramirez must be fit by now, he completed 90mins against Barnsley back in August and another last week.

We're not in the top 4 & aren't going to finish in the top 4.

I know he had a good game, but you typically wouldn't expect your CB to be the stand out performer in a comfortable win against Palace would you?

Interesting to see that it is Lovren leading the MOTM voting by quite someway on here. Wouldn't expect it to be a CB after a comfortable home win against Crystal Palace. Suggests none of our flair or attacking players are really in full flow yet.

Can't remember there being too much moaning about Boruc at all.

Defensively we're currently excellent, but that does sum up Wanyama - gives the ball away too easily, very good at winning it back.

Please tell me this post is a wind up? No-way you can take this forum that seriously Brett.

Too gain the ball back you must have lost possession. Sums up a lot of the 2nd half for both teams.

The barristers wouldn't have advised them anything and certainly would not have advised them to plead 'not guilty', they're not allowed to.
