Just a pity Sunderland have now left it too late to add to there impressive list of premier league winning titles , but onward and upwards , Good times for the North East now that Newcastle have finally found a level at which they can deliver some joy to their supporters
I just assume that when anyone reads Sunderland they automatically associate it with the No 1 league at any given time
MOYES the MAGNIFICENT, Those that say it cannot be done please keep out of the way of those that are doing it
Most hilarious comment of the weekend: "Teams are raising their game against us as they don't want to the first to lose to us" Of course they are David
Well, Chris Waddle used to make sure that he did well playing footie because, as he said, the last thing he wanted to do was to go back and work in a sausage factory again.
The top three idiotic managers this week are, and in order of stupidity.... no. 3 - Ronald Koeman - Lukaku needs to leave if he is to fulfil his ambition = (what he means is) Everton are not good enough for him and any players with any ambition should not come. FAIL! no. 2 - Jose the hwan - Smalling and Shaw are not basically fighting for the team = (what impact it will have is) Loses the dressing room - Does he not realise that Shaw had a very VERY serious injury and he wont risk breaking his leg/ruining his career for the fight..... But at no.1 - It has to be Moyes:::::::::: and after saying at the beginning of the season and I quote "Well, they would probably be right because that's where they've been every other year for the last four years, so why would it suddenly change? "I think it will be, I don't think you can hide the facts, that will be the case, yes. People will be flat because they are hoping that something is going to dramatically change - it can't dramatically change, it can't." Well it fooking wont if you take them to a factory and show the players how **** life really is.... And thats before making the employees feel even ****ter...... As if the employees are going to react any other way than basically thinking.....****ERS! But the funniest thing about all this is.................. IT ACTUALLY ****ING WORKED! THEY WON! So maybe not stupid but DESPERATE! Over!
APPLE PIE Method Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6. Sieve the flour and salt into a bowl. Rub in the margarine or butter until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add the cold water to the flour mixture. Using a knife, mix the water into the flour, using your hand to firm up the mixture. The pastry should be of an even colour and suitable consistency for rolling. Divide the pastry into two halves. Take one half and roll it out so that it is big enough to cover an 20cm/8in enamel or aluminium plate. Trim the edges with a knife using the edge of the plate as your guide. Cover the pastry with the stewed apples and sprinkle with sugar to taste. Roll out the other half of the pastry. Moisten the edge of the bottom layer of pastry and place the second piece on top. Press down on the pastry edges, making sure that they are properly sealed. Trim off any excess pastry with a knife in a downward motion, again using the plate as your guide. Flute the edges with a pinching action using your fingers and thumb. Prick the surface of the pastry lightly before placing the pie in the oven. Cook for 20-30 minutes. When the pie is cooked it should move slightly on the plate when gently shaken. Slide on to a serving plate, dust with caster sugar and serve.
Just been reading some articles about your illustrious owner, he is about as popular as a pigs trotter in Mosul , anything for a little success
My second favourite is good old apple crumble.... Preheat the oven to 190C/170 fan/gas 5. Toss the apples with the 2 tbsp sugar and put in a 23cm round baking dish at least 5cm deep, or a 20cm square dish. Flatten down with your hand to prevent too much crumble falling through. Put the flour and 110g sugar in a bowl with a good pinch of salt, slice in the butter and rub it in with your fingertips until the mixture looks like moist breadcrumbs. Shake the bowl and any big bits will come to the surface – rub them in. Alternatively, pulse in a processor until sandy (don’t over-process). Pour the crumb mix over the apples to form a pile in the centre, then use a fork to even out. Gently press the surface with the back of the fork so the crumble holds together and goes crisp, then lightly drag the fork over the top for a decorative finish. Sprinkle the oats and demerara over evenly, if you wish. Set on a baking tray and put in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, until the top is golden and the apples feel very soft when you insert a small, sharp knife. Leave to cool for 10 minutes before serving.
I'm not impressed. It's weak at best. 3 trophies in the last 100 years. 1 first division league title in 100 years. That's probably as bad as it gets.
