I was being facetious man.

For the record though, Merino looks a player when on the ball - when he is not, he is a bit like Shelvey {come on down @Reiver :lol:}, a bit slow to track back.
Manquillo is useless Fish old boy, take it from one who saw most of his insipid performances.
Joselu is awful infront of goal tho' he can hold it up quite well.
Lejeune ? Looks decent on the ball with time, decent in the air and tackle, but boy does he lack pace.
Murphy - looks like he has something about him with his genuine pace. A bit raw, but experience will help.

Leicester are looking good under Puel and could well nick a draw Saturday - a game you really need to win.

That's all fair enough bar the criticism of Merino. The lad has been busting a gut to harass and close down players.

If anyone's nicking a draw it'll be us. Leicester are on form and we are most definitely not.

Depends who we start and how we set up. If we start Gayle, Merino, Shelvey and so on, I'd be confident of getting a point at least. If Diame is in the NE1 postcode, we're fucked and should, by all rights, get docked points for fielding an ineligible "player".

I have to admit to posting on these threads to string them along and see how they'll amuse us next, it's like a never ending gift.

One of the funny things, at the moment, is this 'KingMackem' specimen.

As you know any Sunderland supporter, pretending to be something they're not, is instantly pulled to pieces by other Sunderland supporters.

Yet the Mags will go along with absolutely anything, no matter how stupid.

They never pull each other up or have the slightest disagreement ...... just one big happy Geordie Nation :lol:

Hes a full on tatey that lad, still pretending to be a lads fan when hes been outed more times than George Micheal in a public toilet.

The thing is he seems to be totally oblivious to the fact we all know what he is. The phrase “ thick as a gurkha’s foreskin” springs to mind
 
Looks like that Amanda Staveley has offered £250m it’s on the table until 18th December then no deal.
According to some reports this morning

As I said earlier Janey, it seems Staveley won’t commit without assurances, especially in their current position. After all if it goes tits up at Newcastle they would have paid way over the odds . That is where it becomes interesting. If no deal looks likely does Ashley stick or twist in the transfer market. Rafa will not be a happy chappie as it stands imo

It will definitely become interesting.
He said all along if no deal by Christmas he’d take it off the market. It could be a case of who blinks first, but it’s not looking that positive for a take over at the minute.

The club is in limbo, the natives will be getting restless, the light at the end of the tunnel is diminishing. The hopes and dreams of a whole Geordie nation are hanging in the balance. In Ashley we trust

She'd be better off buying us for £100 million.
Let's face it, both squads need an absolute fortune spending on them.

We're more likely to be in the Premier League next season than you are. Our finances are decent. We've a very good manager. She'd be mental to buy you for £100m.
