    "Tache's to do list...

    Learn how to masturbate.

    Shave my seven foot girlfriends back with hedge trimmers.

    Super glue my girlfriends back hair upon my chest to make me feel like a real boy.

    Go on the Sunderland Board and piss off Mackems through latent racism.

    Go on the Newcastle board and piss off the Geordies through my sheer stupidity.

    Stare at a picture of Titus Bramble and hope one day he comes and sweeps me off my feet and makes me understand what the song 'Like a virgin' is all about.

    Learn my three times table.

    Practice my yoga in the hope that one day I can perform fellatio upon myself.

    Have a pretend tea party with my imaginary friends"

    SB went out and bought mostly players who have premiership experience and also players who will get goals, not necessarily from up front.

    Larsson's set pieces, Gardner got 10 from midfield in a relegated side, O'Shea and Brown have masses of experience, Vaughan is full of running, Sess will be like a new signing and should be our key man if he links up well with Gyan which we've seen glimpses of.

    Then we have Wickham and Ji who have both scored in preseason with both of them rated as one of their countries 'next big things'.

    So yeah, we are stronger in terms of quality and depth. As loads of people have asked before, is your team stronger now? And would it be stronger wiithout Barton and Enrique who will more than likely be off?

    Alright lads, this ^^^

    with regards to your team I think you've certainly improved on last year's squad, O'Shea & Brown will bring a bit more experience to your defense. Can't knock you for selling Henderson to the bindippers either, sometimes if people are going to offer silly money for players you have no choice but accept it. Sess looks like a good player too. Got Bardsley in my fantasy football so make sure you look after him <ok>

  7. wtf? How is what i said racist? I called him an ape because he's slow, **** and clumbsy.

    If i called Andy Carroll and ape no one would care, but just because i call a black player an ape... it's racist?

    Seriously....

    Yeah, calling a black person an ape is racist, has been for ****ing years. Did you grow up in a ****ing farmyard?

    In this case I agree with you that your comments have probably been taken out of context and were not meant to be racist.
    However, the problem seems to lie with your past history and reputation which seems to make people think the worst.

    OK, it wasn't intentional then.
    But in today's world of tolerance and equality , the phrase you used and it's connotations are perhaps inappropriate...........

    At the minute I'm hoping this team will be put out against your lot, how do you think it would match up?

    Krul

    Simpson Taylor Coloccini Enrique

    Barton Tiote Cabaye Gutierrez

    Ba Pavlychenko


    Subs: Harper, Williamson, Vuckic, Marveaux, Gosling, Best, Ferguson.

    Bit of wishful thinking there with Pav ;)

    If not I'd prefer Best.

    It's a pretty decent side, but you take Pav and Enrique out (which realistically is gonna be the case), who fills the holes?

    Barton may be gone (personally, i think he'll remain), Cabaye may still be finding his feet, and may struggle with the sheer ugliness of coming face to face with Catts..

    Such a shame if we don't have a strong left winger to get at the decidedly average Simpson.

    I would hope that if Enrique were to leave that we would have arranged a replacement for him, but admittedly it's hard to see all that happening between now and the 20th.

    Also hoping that if not Pav we have brought in another decent striker before then aswell, but once again its all speculation unfortunately.

    I'm hoping that the lot of your players will be distracted by the sheer handsomeness of Cabaye, he could make a bengal tiger purr with those rugged good looks ;)

    In all seriousness though hes looked like the real deal in pre-season just hoping he can do it in the big time aswell.

    Agreed that Simpson is the weak link in our defence and if Bruce has anything about him as a manager he should be looking to exploit this.

    I honestly haven't a clue how the result is going to go, just hoping its a good old fashioned tussle with no fans on either side acting like helmets <ok>

    I'll second that.

    Cabaye is nee Angeleri mind, although Angeleri is no footballer, so it evens out...

    Pav is not possible mate, 70k a week? No way, and he won't take a cut as he could get that of half the Russian Premier League.

    Shane Long is who you should be thinking of, and he'd be a good buy as well.

    Looks like a more attractive version of Gutierrez <laugh>

    I agree the wages would be a definite stumbling block, its not really in our transfer policy to bring in older players either, Ashley likes em' young so he can flog them on ala, Carroll.

    Long would be a good shout and someone I have hoped we would go for, was banging them in last season, looks like hes off to West Brom though, 6 million apparently, definitely missed a trick :(

    When we signed Angeleri, i was looking for youtube footage, and it mainly consisted of lasses, on their mobiles, just following him around the pitch when the ball was nowhere near.

    He is a handsome ****er mind ain't he?

    He hasn't been given a squad number today, so it looks like the 'beautiful Argentinian' (copyright Simon Mignolet), is off.

    Surely Long would choose you over WBA? £6million is high, but not massively. You missed a trick with NUFC daft Danny Graham.

    You may have meant nothing by it but think before you say things like this.

    Your the type of person to spend two days sitting alone in a room trying to teach a parrot to speak and you come out saying
    "whos 's a pretty boy then"
    Give us a kiss.

    <laugh> Poor guy eh? I feel his pain I get that all the time, I tell the girls to leave me alone but that just makes them want me more :D

    He's a tasty dish I'll give him that one for nothing, so how bad actually is he? I've heard hes not the best defender in the world like?

    Must be pretty bad if he hasnt been given a squad number! Hes no Bramble then? ;)

    I reckon 6 million would have been a decent fee for him but we dont seem to be interested unfortunately, god only knows why.

    Heard from a guy I know on another forum that reckons hes been told a deal for Pav has been agreed at 4 million, definitely sounds like ****e to me, but a lad can dream!

    I can't even tell you mate, we never got to see him play, 3 Argentina managers in a row called him up, so he must have something, we never got to see it, sadly.

    Calling Bruce a racist was never going to enhance his chances, Bruce the racist who signed Titus, Mensah (twice), Bent, Gyan, Muntari & Sessegnon...
