2,3,4,5 kicks in the balls!!!!!!.


That could be us, on the freeway, laughing at squares and eating corn dogs. I'd tip waitresses, you wouldn't but you'd help them with their music. Wyoming, Idaho, Utah...just us and our thoughts. x

Norn, we've worked out between us that the maximum we probably still owe Sunderland is between £1m and £2m.  I looked at the accounts, Dave W seems to have talked to somebody at the club.  It's not a small amount but probably not worth leaving him out over.

And that's the total potentially owing. I don't think it's all for fifty appearances - some of it will be tied up in stuff like European qualification and winning trophies.

Indeed.  Although I bet Sunderland didn't put too much on the winning trophies bit.  "£2m if you qualify for the Champions League?, bollocks Mr Lerner, we'll have it when Benty scores 30 goals if you don't mind!"

I'd guess it'll be both, along with everything from staying up to playing in Euro 2012.

I'm imaging a cross between 'Littlest Hobo', Bill Bryson's 'The Lost Continent: Travels in Small-Town America' and 'Brokeback Mountain'.  With a side-order of 'On the Road' and 'Natural Born Killers'.

The rumour was that £3m was payable on us staying up.  That would tally with what's in the accounts as well.

It all seems feasible and as you said, not leaving enough to leave him out for.

Who is this bloke Bent you're all on about? Details please. Is he part of the set-up or what? Oh, got it, he is a QPR player!

If Lawrenson had any insight into Bent's situation he wouldn't have put "Interesting to read..." which places his opinion at the same level as everyone else.

Not many games to go on, but in true Villadawg style here;s a few stats from the season :-

in all games in which Bent has played (9) either as sub or starter
team goals/game : 0.77, pts/game 0.55

as just sub (3)
team goals/game : 0.66, pts/game 0.66

Games where Bent has been nowhere to be seen (5)
team goals/game : 0.80, pts/game 1.40

Proving without any shadow of doubt - so conclusively that I am tempted to put 'fact' at the end of each sentence - that we should sell Bent pronto otherwise we will be relegated.

I think I've accidentally dropped some acid.

Either that or some of you have.

All PL has achieved is to heap more negativity on the club at a time when it least needs it. Idiot!
