Rumours are that we still owe £10 million, but that’s irrelevant cos the payment terms won’t change. If we’ve arranged payment over 4 years say and we sell him, we don’t then have to whack the money over to them. Frankly these staggered deals are a massive factor in what’s ****ed us. Newcastle pay in full.
Same fake account which had us signing Woodburn on loan so I doubt that he's handed in a request - as Bri says, he's for sale so why would he hand in a request?
Are they really fake? If so my apologies. Theres some sad fekkers about. Could you really be ar$ed sat at home making fake Skysports news stories up .
Can't get my head around this fake account stuff. Haven't people got better things to do, like sticking their arm in a wood chipper.
Aye the @skysportsnewss_ is a fake SSN account which tweets with the exact make up of the original account. It has been right quite a few times mind but it's not linked to Sky at all There's also a tweet they've sent out stating that Mike Ashley has advised that a sale has been agreed for the club - yet there's nothing anywhere in national or regional press. Bullshit account
It would be sad enough making them up at work in your lunch hour or something but these stories came out last night the sad tw@ts. Some people seriously need to find somebody or something to get satisfaction from. Speaking of which wheres Monty been the past few days .
Yeh, I've missed him as well, but more so your recipes, speaking of which, I have looked for your steak pie one in vain, could you please let me know where to find it, or post it again next opportunity.
Of course which Steak pie was it again?. I have millions of recipes and dozens of ways to make a Steak pie.
Well looking at the bigger picture. Sam bought Kirchoff in, Kone and Khazri and they were all instumental in us staying up. Moyes allowed Lens to leave and replaced him with Januzaj, refused to play Khazri and gave Lescott and Pienaar a contract for a year. He also bought Love and signed Manquillo so i reckon that speaks for itself.
I think you posted it about two weeks ago, Coal Man complimented you about it at the time. It involved a pre-prepared steak filling, before placing it in a bowl and then a pastry was placed over the top of the bowl, before being cooked through in the oven. It reminded me of a pie my grandmother (Ganny) and mother used to make, this was a while ago and they used a traditional recipe, and called it "Pie Crust", I wondered if yours was similar, and would like to give it a try.
There you go me auld mukka..... Shopping list vegetable oil 1kg/2lb 4oz braising steak cut into 5cm/2in cubes 1 onion, finely diced 250g/9oz chestnut mushrooms, cut into four pieces 8 small whole round shallots, peeled 400g/14oz carrots, peeled and cut into three 4 sprigs thyme 2 bay leaves 4 tbsp tomato purée 500ml/18fl oz ale 300ml/10½fl oz hot reduced beef stock 500g/1lb 2oz readymade puff pastry 1 free-range egg, beaten For the mushy peas 225g/8oz dried marrowfat peas 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda 75g/2½oz unsalted butter salt Method For the pie, heat a casserole or a large ovenproof pan over a high heat and add the oil. Once hot, add the steak pieces in batches and fry for 3-4 minutes, or until golden-brown on all sides, stirring regularly. Remove the cooked steak from the dish, transfer to a warm plate and set aside. Repeat the process with the remaining steak pieces, then set aside. Add the onion, mushrooms, whole shallots and carrots to the emptied casserole and fry for 2-3 minutes, or until just softened. Add the thyme, bay leaves and tomato purée and stir well to combine. Add the ale and stir well, scraping any sediment up from the bottom of the casserole using a wooden spoon. Return the browned steak pieces to the casserole, add the hot stock, stir well and bring the mixture to the boil. Turn down the heat, place a lid on the casserole and cook for 1½ hours, or until the beef is tender and the gravy has thickened. Once cooked, remove the pie filling from the dish and set aside to cool. Preheat the oven to 220C/425F/Gas 7. Place the beef and gravy mixture in a 23cm diameter round ovenproof dish. Roll out the pastry to 1cm/⅓in thickness and cut the pastry into a circle slightly bigger than the pie dish. Brush a little water around the rim of the pie dish, then place the pastry over the filling and press the edges to seal the pastry to the dish. Brush the pie with a little beaten egg, then place the pie in the oven and cook for 20-30 minutes, or until the pastry is pale golden-brown and has risen. For the mushy peas, in a large bowl soak the peas in three times their volume of water and the bicarbonate of soda. Leave for at least four hours or, if you have the time, overnight. Drain the peas, rinse under the tap, and place on the stove in a large pan and cover with water. Cover and bring to the boil. Once boiled, reduce the heat and simmer the peas for 1½-2 hours, stirring from time to time. The peas should be soft and mushy in texture but not too dry. If they are wet, continue cooking over the heat with the lid off to dry out a little. Beat in the butter and season to taste with salt. To serve, cut a slice of pie and place it on a plate and spoon some mushy peas on the side.
Didier Ndong has told Sunderland he wants to quit the club this month - but Chris Coleman says the deal must be right for Sunderland. Club record signing Ndong is seeking a move during the transfer window just 18 months after his £13.6million switch from Lorient. please log in to view this image Ndong has been out injured Read Sunderland fans' reaction to Didier Ndong's return to trainingPremier League side Watford have been heavily linked with a loan move for the Gabon midfielder, but Coleman has warned potential suitors that any deal will have to be a permanent transfer. He said: "What do we get out of (a player leaving on loan)? If it's a loan deal and he has to play 75% of games for a fee to be involved, he will probably only play 73%. "They must think we have fallen off the back of a lorry. "There will be no loan deals. "We have had a couple of enquiries about Didier but just loan deals and that's not something that's for us unless there's an absolute guarantee at the end of it. "It's common knowledge Didier wants to leave. He sees his future elsewhere but we have got to do what's right for us." Ndong has been out injured since before Christmas but returned to training this week, though he won't be available for tomorrow's game against Cardiff City.
I don’t have any issue with him wanting out, the clubs a mess, he’s young and could develop to a very good player. Delighted to read Coleman’s strong ‘**** that’ stance on a home of an offer, hopefully those words have the owners backing.
