My stream is like i'm watching a broken toaster

Emphasis.

The back 4 doesn't worry me and I believe it is a good choice. Sorry but Terry, for whatever reason (maybe not getting a string of consistent starts) has been a bit of a liability at times this season, and I'd certainly not put Cahill ahead of either Ivanovic or Luiz even if he was fit. Bertrand is the only choice for left back, and Azpi simply must start at right back otherwise it'd be Ivanovic on the right, Terry-Luiz in the centre, and no centre-backs on the bench.

Probably best player so far on the pitch along with Bender.

Why do people assume Sunderland will get some magical boost due to having a new manager? Didn't work like that with us.

At first I was going to type the following: "1 thing about Schurrle - He looks like piss when played on the right hand side, despite being right-footed. Like Marin, he likes the left, so he can cut in and shoot. But err, don't we have some Belgian called Hazard doing that? Ah forget it actually, he can play in the centr-oh, wait, no, there's that guy called... Mata, is it? Yeah, that Mata guy plays there." Now upon reflection, I've just remembered something we used to have and that I miss - depth. There's no reason why he can't add competition to Hazard's spot and, if he earns it, start ahead of him (or have Hazard out right or even central some games.) The reported price is rather good in my opinion. He also tracks back lots, which I love.

Y WASNT HE PART OF THE ADIDAS VIDEO? U KNO I THINK IT IS BECAUSE HE HATES THIS CLUB

You would take the view of a player who more than likely doesn't even watch McEachran over 'some random fan' who supports the club McEachran plays for and watches him every time he plays?

Just read that apparently Turnbull had something to do with Josh choosing Boro over other teams............

Fucking boom ^^^

Collars don't belong on modern football tops. I despise them.

If anyone catches who just cheated you win a prize. (A Brazzers log-in. )

YES! CMON BASEL YOU HERBY TEAM!

Oh shit ok that was nice

Moses has been really quite average in most of his last few games. I don't like it.

That's why we need a DLP. Need balls like that every 3 or 4 minutes.

NO BOSINGWA!?!?!? But no, seriously, I think Zanetti is only there for his personality etc. Ferreira was better under Mourinho than Zanetti was IMO. I also feel like Casillas is in there just to make certain people happy. No way would he not have Cech as the best he's worked with. Just nope.

Messi was ready. Owen was ready. Rooney was ready. They were all important fixtures in their senior teams at young ages and I doubt they'd be the players they are today unless they were thrown in at the deep end when they were.

I want this. Probably my favourite alternative kit ever:

So i'm the only one thinking the away kit looks like a Colgate toothpaste box?

I want a youth player thrown in. Don't care who. I guess Ake is the only one who'd actually even get considered though for some reason. Torres will start; I doubt we'll ever see this "Moses starting up top" thing. Marin will probably start and infuriate me again. Bertrand should do a decent job. Lamps could fit in well today depending on the opposition's formation and should have a real chance at scoring. That all said, I think this'll be 0-0, 1-0 or a scoring draw.

Dunno. Sometimes he's just so lazy I could smash my screen. I feel like he'd actually be prolific here, but somehow cause some sort of problem like eat Hazard's lunch and cause unrest in the club because of it, thus preventing him the 'fan favourite' tag.
