Chelsea have appealed the Courtois red. I'd love to see their grounds of appeal, because it was spot on in my opinion.

Could he expect a further ban if they do not win the appeal...What is it called? Frivolous Appealing or sonething

Aye, an appeal board has the power to increase/decrease any sanction.

Looks like Stoke are signing Shaqiri now! What a signing that will be.

Nice to see Murton back in there, after being out of the National League System for quite a few years, hoping we can beat Billy Town, Murton beat Boldon CA, and Murton draw Darlo at home next round.

Question for Mr Calder, why has Gateshead not entered, it is a competition you aint done bad in over the years, it is a good competition for Reserve and Youth Players

Half Time...

Gateshead FC 1-3 Tranmere Rovers

Anyone seen the fun and games at Chelsea...

Jose Mourinho has pretty much sacked the Doctor, Eva Carneiro for going on the pitch to treat Eden Hazard on Sunday...

Shitty thing for Mourinho to do in my opinion, she was in an impossible position, Mourinho may not have wanted to go on the pitch, but once the ref calls for the medical team they are obliged to go on, and it would go against everything everything the GMC have in place and she would have to answer questions about failure of her duty to care...

Me thinks Mourinho is being childish over this...

Tell you one thing mind, if I was a Chelsea player, I would have a niggly groin injury every week...The perv in me talking there

From Skysports:

SUNDERLAND IN BORINI TALKS
Sunderland are in talks to sign Fabio Borini from Liverpool on season-long loan, according to Sky sources.
We understand Borini has been told he has no future at Liverpool and now could be set to move to the Stadium of Light even though he turned down a permanent move there last summer.

Not sure if i want him back... i'm sure his on a free at end of the season to.

If he does come permanent he is not be worth the 14m offered last year, I would have him, he would be a useful addition to the squad...

The deal I want to see go through is Januzaj on Loan...

Anyone notice Yann M'Vila made his debut with the Under-21's AND GOT SENT OFF

Was Borini really worth the £14m Liverpool wanted this time last year? Probably not in my opinion. If Sunderland can strike a loan deal until he's available on a free, great. If not, he's not worth any more than £5-6m tops.

Not by a long shot, especially for a striker who only just managed to double figures in the scoring charts and only managed at least 3 starts last season

So a bid of £14m should be completely out of the question now, I would go along with the valuatuon you mentioned...

Why cant they just release him and let him be on his way out of Anfield, it is clear Liverpool dont want him, so they could surely cut there losses...Could his current Liverpool Contract not just be given to Sunderland for them to honour, Liverpool...

Lets wait and see I guess, as I also read somewhere he may find himself back in Italy

GOAL - Aston Villa 0-1 Man Utd - Adnan Januzaj

Writing on the cards, he would play and score... there goes any loan deal

Wasn't the Januzaj deal always dependent on Man Utd getting Pedro from Barcelona?

(14 Aug 2015, 7:26 pm)MrFozz wrote Wasn't the Januzaj deal always dependent on Man Utd getting Pedro from Barcelona?

Maybe but his scored now haha

(14 Aug 2015, 7:27 pm)Michael wrote Maybe but his scored now haha

Would love to have Januzaj to be honest

National League...

Gateshead 2-1 Boreham Wood (Bowman 2)

See the North East Teams have served up plates of shite again...Diaorreha(sic?) no less

Couldnt care less about the Scum signing Florian Thauvin from Marseille and Remy Cabella going the other way on Loan, the big news out of all this is how stunning Mrs Thauvin is, bet she would end up having a one night stand if he allowed her to have night out on the toon by herself.

You fancying your chances like Malarkey?
Get her round yours and before you know it - she will be offering you a quick game of Cluedo!

If Malarkey can manage to say 'Cluedo' in a smarmy pseudo-francias accent, I can almost guarantee she'll be going back to Lambton on the promise of a Purple Buzzfare.

Lets go tag team on Malarkey

I will pass on that offer and have her all to myself.

As Davie has posted about deaths in football here in recent months, thought I would share the following

Shoreham Airshow Crash: Worthing United footballers Matthew Grimstone and Jacob Schilt killed on way to game

What a terrible and shocking way to die...

RIP

Oh dear just noticed Sunderland and Newcastle are BOTH at home tomorrow.

Should be interesting... no doubt nothing bad won't happen, i think it'll go alright.

Has happened a few times in the League Cup, the potential for hassle will be drastically low as there is only 15k-20k for those games

Won't be any trouble.

I would be surprised if there is any more than 12,000 at St James and 10,000 giving they are both playing League 2 teams.

I would say between 15k and 20k Lee

In total it will probably be less than about 2/3rds of each average league attendance

When I saw the advert, I instinctively thought Bazza would be ideal.
After his motivational speech at the weekend (mentioned elsewhere on the forum) when Bazza saw Defoe prior to the game and said: 'You better well bloody score today' - that resulted in Defoe scoring his first goal for months...
Bazza would offer a lot more than most could and would.
http://www.theguardian.com/football/2015...ing-fridge

Sunderland squad tonight:

Pantilimon, Matthews, Coates, O'Shea, van Aanholt, Larsson, Cattermole, Rodwell, M'Vila, Defoe, Graham

SUBS: Stryjek, Brown, Giaccherini, Fletcher, Watmore, Gooch, J Robson


Should of started Watmore... other than that strong side but probables get beat.

I seen this on the News earlier...

You have to be quite qualified by the sounds of it, did I hear correct in that the Salary is 60 large a year...

Even though Bazza is not qualified to be Defoes PA...At least he would have a good idea when the bus was due and be able to sort out coach travel...

Why is it based in London, could that be a sign Defoe wants away or have I put 2n2 together and got 5?

Me and you should apply Andreos under the Pseudonym Andre Fozz and bring in your Revolutionary Guard to be his Bodyguard detail
