depends how Mr Short sees it , wouldnt hold ya breath

50/1 may be very canny odds come Christmas, especially if a few of their better players leave.

RememberIpswich 2001 and then Ipswich 2002

Remember Reading 2007 and Reading 2008

Would fucking love the look on their faces if that happens to them

You must think so since you reckon only McClean and Sessegnon would get in your whole squad.

What with the top players of Krul, Coloccini and Tiote not letting other teams score, it must have been a corrupt FA who made sure you conceded more than Championship standard Sunderland.

Because it's the busiest football message board in the North East and the craic, after sifting through the absolute cringeworthy drivel, is decent.

Good enough?

Fair enough fella. Provided you realise you are wrong

Also kept 15 clean sheets but I suppose you can use stats to prove anything.

Sorry, I meant match day squad for McClean and Sessegnon. I'll add Mignolet to that as well.

No-one else.

Bardsley better than simpson, o'shea/brown over taylor, richardson over santon, mcclean over jonas, sess over ba. Could possibly say tiote over cattermole, but i wouldn't, which equates to 5 newcastle and 6 sunderland, with left back as the main contentious position as we don't have a proper one

Only half a team better than us then, that's nothing

That is utter bollocks. We are average as fuck with mostly average players (hence the league finishes) but with a few players above average and a few below. Despite which we are on par with your lot apart from our glaring lack of goalscoring strikers.

Care to suggest which players would get into our full strength match day squad then?

So you really think Mike Williamson is better than John O'Shea and Wes Brown?
