    Call me disloyal

    This is so weird, this anti-Bruce thing. Yes, we had a bad patch after Xmas, but it wasn't a bad season. We finished 10th, we have a decent squad, and we will buy this summer. He's not the greatest manager in the world, but nor is he the worst. If I could press a button and swap him for O'Neill...

    Bardsley

    What's wrong with the photo? It's sexist and sad. If one day you get a girlfriend, she will probably expect a little bit more respect. When you talk to real women, they sometimes talk back.

    Rodallega

    Not sure if he's exactly right for us. Wouldn't say no, like, but would rather nail Danny W down and maybe some dependable 'right time right place' striker who would score 20 ugly goals with his arse and could keep us ticking along. Didn't we have someone like that earlier in the year? It rings...

    SUNDERLAND v WIGAN MATCHDAY THREAD

    As for injuries, we'll see! Brucie seems to be a mix of not knowing what's going on, as in the Gordon situation, and clever, tactical overcautiousness. I wouldn't be surprised to see Danny or Asa or both at Fulham. Very glad for Sess to get off the mark, tho. I think he will bed down well...

    Gyan

    I love Gyan, I think he's brilliant. Buying him was the first sign that we'd moved to a different level. He is a superstar, but the really impressive thing about him is that he doesn't act like one. He's twice the player Cisse was, for example, but he just gets on and does his thing. I've been...

    Serious question---How far have we really come?

    Our first choice XI is probably the best in living memory. We don't have much depth, true, but then we're not a CL club that can keep players happy by rotating. We're playing a different kind of football, with much more control, possession and craft than in the past. I can't imagined Reidy or...

    The season defining game

    Top game, and a good counterattacking display from the lads. I lost most of my fingernails through the second half, tho. Dead right Brucie, the Arse fans are a decent bunch. And the Emirates is a spectacular stadium.

    Bardiniho in hospital

    Bards was great, and I actually throught Hendo deserves a pat for workrate: he was constantly closing down in midfield, and that was the main reason why Arsenal didn't really get going. Because of Hendo and Sulley they were forced to put it down the flanks, which they're not very good at doing...

    For the doom and gloomers

    I thought we were brilliant yesterday. The midfield, which has looked lightweight, was completely dominant. Gyan was motm for me, another excellent performance. Sessegnon was exciting. We look very good going forward. It's just frustrating that we're leaking all of these goals. If we'd won 1/0...

    Relegation still a threat

    Bollocks! Keep the faith. It is possible we could get relegated, but the whole 'magic 40 points' thing is completely irrelevant. To get relegated we need at least eleven teams to make up as much as 10 points in eleven games. Where are these clubs going to get their points from? Most of their...

    Should he stay or should he go

    No, definitely not. Bans should be absolutely a last resort, and only for threats, racism, homphobia etc. We all know the kind of stuff BC posts, it's often bonkers but inoffensive. If you don't want acres of threadage about him, don't reply. And while we're at it, let's stop setting up threads...

    The Phil Bardsley, Craig Gordon, Stephane Sessegnon and the ugly...

    I dunno about the last bit Cest, I think you need a mix of skill and commitment. I'd rather have 11 Fabregases, we could sell 6 of them for for £300m on Jan 31st 2012!

    look how happy he is

    Temper! It's called taking the piss. It means trying to wind people up and get a reaction ... sounds like your mate at work understands how it works.

    Massive risk

    It is definitely a gamble, but then signing a **** overpriced player would be a gamble too. Especially if he had girly hair, an asbo and an ankle tag.

    Transfer Deadline Day Thread!

    What's the best deadline day you can remember? Mine is Keano's first one, when he packed in about five in one evening.
