Ye we've stopped up the last few seasons, Wigan did that to and it finally caught up with them... its our turn now, if we do go down, i don't expect us to come straight back up either, the Championship is a hard league now.
We need a few more players, defenders and a striker are ones we need, we need to start replacing the older players in our team, which we haven't.... why not play a few of the U21's, the U21's are doing decent...
Which Kone are we after?
Newcastle are in the same boat.... they need a striker - or they're down, which atm, seems like they'll be in the battling relegation.
Road and Ice Cream?

Happened with Sakho to!
The way I read it, he had 2 medicals, possibly to do with his heart, I dont know, I have tried to find other sources, all I can source at the moment is The Sun and Daily Mail...
If Lorients claim is upheld the punishment could be a Fine, Points Deduction or Transfer Embargo...
Be interesting to see what happens, because is no precedent for this if SAFC are to be punished

Well there you go..... 2 of the most bollock papers going!
I would imagine it'll be a fine, same as West Ham with Sakho.

Definately right there mate, I would not trust the football results in The Sun 😛
Will have to wait and see, there will be some kind of truth to it though, If I find another source I will quote it

Ye, probables just a fine or nothing.... but like you said, we'll have to wait and see.
There were stories 2/3 days ago about Sunderland changing the terms of a pre-agreed contract.
I am putting 2 + 2 together and reckoning that a set budget had been agreed for wages and with the Kirchoff deal going through, something had to give.
Just seen two articles rt'd by @442footycrazy that give an interesting view too. One from the Echo and another from the Chronicle.
Newcastle United have completed the signing of England international midfielder Jonjo Shelvey from Swansea City.
The 23 year-old moves to St. James' Park for an undisclosed fee and has signed a five-and-a-half-year deal.
------------------------
VIDIC CONTRACT TERMINATED
Nemanja Vidic and Inter Milan have agreed mutually to terminate the Serbian's contract that was due to expire in June, according to Sky Sources in Italy.
-----------------
SUNDERLAND BACK IN FOR KONE
Sky Sources: Sunderland have revived their interest in Lamine Kone and talks are continuing.

Rooney - Man of the Match... fuck off haha
I've just realised Aston Villa won this evening!
I was at the Newcastle match, yes it was handball, yes it was a penalty.
However, Newcastle should and could have had THREE penalties, one for a foul on Janmatt and another for a foul on Colback, the third foul drew a penalty which Mitrovic scored.

Handball, yes. Penalty? Not in a million years.
Are you telling me that, when you jump, your arms stay stuck by your side? He wasn't even looking at the ball.
Mike Dean shouldn't be a PL referee, he always makes himself the centre of attention.

Isn't the rule something along the lines of a penalty is awarded, when the incident is deemed to be deliberate?
I have no idea how Mbema can be accused of deliberately handling that ball last night.
