    This is the shingle most irritating thread I’ve ever read.

    I disagree – it’s measly the best thread I’ve seen for ages.

    It looks like Ben has broken his right leg.

    That cracking noise from the tackle was fuckin sickening ! We sit on the halfway line and we heard it from there ! Hope it aint a break but we all suspected it when we heard it ! :([/quote]

    We heard it from the back of the West Stand. I’ll show my arse if it isn’t broken! :sick:

    We’ll go 1-0 up fairly early on then struggle to kill them off. They’ll put us all through the wringer again before grabbing a very late clincher.

    Not far off!

    You may have given Griff the germ of an idea for his 54F items. And then it’ll go viral.

    I think that one flu over most people’s heads

    In fact anybody thinking of not going will need to send a detailed explanation or a note from their mum to our away support statistician , Mutty.

    Best I get my mailbox expanded then. ;)[/quote]

    Mutley, have you ever thought of changing your user name to Thrush![/quote]

    I get it!

    Disingenuous to say the least.

    There isn’t a snowball’s chance in hell that he will know what that means.

    I wud rather Sunderland stay up they are a great club. Give me them over West Ham, Hull, Villa and Swansea anytime. Also it really pi$$es the Barcodes off not being able to lord it over their dear neighbours. The everlasting vision of Sunderland fans mud-skiing down the Shevy end at Springy always makes me chuckle.

    Surely you meant to say Wet Spam and Dull. Come on, at least get their names right!

    in reply to: Maloney #127406
    Im not slurring the no10 but there must be more to this than the simple, hip?, injury that we have been told about.

    Why must there be more to it? Back and hip injuries can be complicated things.Why assume there is something sinister going on?

    in reply to: Maloney #127354
    So does anybody know whats up and when hes back, if at all.

    Rumours abound of alcoholism/drugs and american recovery camp ,not convinced these are correct, but why no positive news on exactly what the supposed injury is/was and how long to fix.

    Very fishy.

    We are desperate for him to be back.

    Rumours like that are only “very fishy” if there is someone daft/gullible enough to believe them. Total bollocks!

    Sir Stanley Matthews:

    To dictate the pace and course of a game, a player has to be blessed with awesome qualities. “Those who have accomplished it on a regular basis can be counted on the fingers of one hand – Pele, Maradona, Best, Di Stefano, and Tom Finney.

    It’s not remotely important whether you believe it or not, to be honest. You’re not the one being paid to do the job exactly as you see fit (excuse the pun), he is.

    I agree completely but that doesn’t stop me or anyone else being entitled to that opinion or from voicing it.
    You could just kill virtually all debate that there’s ever been about football with that attitude :P[/quote]

    OK, let me re-phrase – what evidence do you have to support your belief that they are actually fit enough? Because “I don’t believe that” is just as much of a debate killer as my “your opinion doesn’t matter” ;)

    in reply to: Meeting with Uwe Rosler and with Jonathan Jackson #127314

    Why would a manager give a fictitious answer to explain his own rotation policy?.

    I didn’t say that he didn’t believe his own answers – I just fail to see that the intensity of Latics play is that high that it neccessitates around half the outfield players not being at the required fitness to be able to play consecutive games.
    Rolser believes that squad rotation is vital to success – he did it in Norway, he did it at Brentford & he talks about it in all his interviews & he believes he needs to do it at the levels he does it because of the intensity fo how his teams play.
    My argument is not that he is lying but that I don’t see Latics style of play being any more intense than many other teams I see – some more successful & some less so. None of those teams make as many changes from game to game as Rosler does which leads me to think that he alone can’t be a special case & that he’s being over cautious.
    Nor do i believe that the players levels of fitness are that poor[/quote]

    In comparison to your volleyed return of the ball, i once punched the ball back on to the pitch from seat M224 in the west stand – no idea why, & it really f00kin hurt!! :blush:

    Any chance of giving Ali some lessons?
