You can't be serious???

Are you his mother? He looks far from ready.

A christmas tree? Didn't that die when Venables left England?

I assume people are taking the piss saying Sammy. Thought he was pretty shit the other night personally. Did well with the goal, but the rest of the time his positioning was poor, and all he did was get the ball and run with it far too long, once or twice lucky to draw fouls from fumbling through a group of defenders when he should have released it earlier. Suggesting Obertan in the Premier League is equally ridiculous. 433 without a doubt. If he has to play 442 to accommodate Ba but damage the team as a whole, we only have Jonas and HBA. Obertan is terrible, and Sammy is probably League 1 standard. Needs to go on loan to somewhere like Hartlepool to prove he can play first team football and learn some discipline before anything here.

Have to say, love this competition. It seems wrong when we aren't in it. Like the season is missing something. The FA ,70 hardly even breaks up the league season much anymore either the coverage is so poor. It's hard to look forward to games when you know you're scraping about looking for coverage. The Europa League is far more enjoyable.

My thoughts exactly. Any player joining would be a disgrace in my opinion, and I mean that. Most normal people see a person before their colour. Seperating people by colour is ridiculous. What about other discrimination too? Hate this Rooney Rule or whatever its called too.

As amazing as Ronaldinho was, I'd put Cristiano Ronaldo ahead of him. That team would score 10 goals a game Good team, but I'd put Matthaus ahead of Redondo and Van Basten in a front two replacing Ronaldinho. At a time when Italian football was much more defensive and the off-side rule was in favour of defenders Van Basten was a fantastic player, such a shame he had to retire early. I would also rate Keane as the best midfielder of the Premier League years, Man U were so lucky to follow Robson with Keane. No luck about it. They bought him and developed him. Too much in football is put down to good or bad luck, or lady luck according to Souness. Ferguson has to be credited for the signing.

Love how you get one of them who can string a few sentences together, then loads of them copy the bitter rant and spread it about passing it off as their own. Haha

The whole loyalty points system is open to abuse anyway. It doesn't work very well. You see the people outside away games with a handful of tickets, and I mean 20+ handing out tickets to fans and taking money. If you had a season ticket and couldn't be arsed, or afford to go to away games, all you need to do is give these guys your season ticket number, they add you to their friends and family and order tickets from your season ticket to give to other people. You get the loyalty point and someone without loyalty points gets to go to a game by arranging it through the guy organising it all. I know people without season tickets, who hardly go to home games, but they still end up at Sunderland every year. I myself have applied for Brugge through someone else because I don't have enough points. Everyone will try to get to games however they can. If you can do it through one of the guys i mentioned, why would you bother your arsed building up loyalty points. I must have been to 40+ away games over the past few years, including Sunderland twice, but im just a simple club member. Not fair on people trying to do it properly, but thats the system so its open to abuse.

Aye, the white boards look shitted than your average shop front.

Wish they would just take the shit white signs down too, not needed even if they want Wonga showing, and appoint someone with a bit of an idea about marketing. The fonts, the colours, everything is shit, cheap and tacky.

There will probably be quite a few cunts in our ranks tbh. Doesn't mean they should be treating everyone the same though.

Probably get some kids to design it and it will end up totally shit.

Our commercial revenue is shocking compared to similar sized clubs. We arent a brand companies want to be associated with. That is Ashleys fault.

It will probably be used as an excuse unfortunately, but in my opinion it should have a positive effect.

If he goes 4-4-2 at Sunderland and that happens again, like it probably would with that formation, then people will start to get restless. It isn't rocket science playing to your strengths.

True. As many said at the time, they never intended on selling the stadium rights on. It was just PR lies to keep quiet the thicker more gullible fans.

It's hardly a wonder our turnover level is stagnant with the type of brand image the club have created. Cheap and nasty. If I owned a popular company, the last last place I would want it being advertised would be next to a Sports Direct banner in the Wonga Stadium.

His main point on the first goal the other night was how it was a terrible finish by Shola. Not sure what he was going on about tbh.

Ive got someone else to try and get me one too. Don't really know them but its the brother of someone at work. He's got the same name as someone travelling in our group though so the same name is on the seasonticket/passport details as on the accommodation, even though theyre different people, and neither are me.

Should have started further down the leagues and proved himself.

Full strength please. The team seem to need practice playing together, and the 'rest' doesn't seem to be doing them much good anyway.

I doubt anyone expects that tbh. Im happy with all of the results bar Villa. The performances however have been poor and we arent making the most of the talent in our squad this season. How you can make the above ridiculous statement is beyond me.

Its our own fault the squad is too thin. Fuckin annoys me when injuries are used as an excuse. We only needed 2 or 3 more in the summer to go in with a big enough squad. Not £10million signings either, just another player who's main position is centre back would have been nice.
