I've got a plan to improve monetisation

Sell parts of the pitch to brands, and commentators can say "and the winger runs into the Cadburys quadrant at full speed"

Everybody wins

>Pat Nevin on 5 Live: "We have not mentioned Niclas Fullkrug's name since we did the line-up. He is a centre forward, and he wants the ball into the box. Nothing has come in for him."

Literally nothing has changed at Wet Spam then

love this gimmick

C'mon West Ham, score a facking goal!

great half for the first game

Only 2 games have had goals in PL this season. They both involved God Six

>change almost the entire team from last season
>be competitive
says a lot about how shit sunderland's squad was

>>150256185
are villa or west ham the god seventh

>>150256187
they weren't "shit" but they definitely weren't PL capable
they were basically all U23 as well
i'll be surprised if mayenda or isidor score more than 5 goals

Not a fan of Sunderland's shirt numbers

>>150256215
i heard it's required by the league

Absolute garbage blades. Sign some fucking players and get this fraud Selles OUT.

>>150256729
I don't necessarily see a long term challenge for the playoffs, but I think the squad is comfortable in League 1 now so I'll say upper mid table,
