Just offside. Shak will love that. Literally as I finished typing, the git.

Haven't heard Best's name once yet

Dare I say this shows what we can do if we actually play attacking football?

AHAHAHAHAHAHA

Cue Hughton to play 4-5-1 and try and defend out the rest of the game.

Lolz @ Caroll haters

GOAL

ooooooooo

If we don't win the World Cup, expect this to be revisited over and over again. Fabio needs to bow to the inevitable - pick Shola, give him the armband. Foluwashola for England! Catchy.

Anyone want to wager how often we hear the word Terry during the course of BBC's commentary?

Wonder what happened to Colo? When I saw that midfield I felt compelled to start listening to Jizz in my Pants by The Lonely Island. 2-0 Best and Jonas.

Didn't he put "handsome", "marketable" and "young" on the last one?

just read the rest of thread - is the cock and lion the preferred destination? where's that located?

neesy - a group of 4 of us are going indeed. Although two are me and my mate Dave's girlfriends, but they've been lent Toon tops for the cause. I'm in an old grey 80s away top, stop by for a chat if you fancy!

We'll see. And, as Hughton said, we clearly tried to buy Kilgallon but he opted at the 11th hour to stay at Sheffield United...

According to the people on the Football League Show at work he's signing for us on a six-month loan.

Just to keep everyone's sense of perspective, Shola Ameobi has scored over twice the amount of goals in Europe that Sunderland have as a club in their entire history.

Because it's not official - as I said, this is only what a producer said after meeting Blackwell at an interview.

Maybe it's if they're not planning to extend Zurab's loan? Would prefer Kilgallon.

Thought this would be of interest - editing next to one of the guys working from Big League Weekend (I work at SkySports), they interviewed Kevin Blackwell and the producer said that Kilgallon's agreed to sign, not sure whether he's signed a pre-contract or not. This is apparently from Blackwell to the producer, off-camera.

That Boumsong's looked solid in Scotland.

I just like having players in our squad. Sign him up.

How do we contribute? Keeeeen.

Did a work experience at BBC where I shadowed Jacqui Oatley, she's alright, although we were chatting about the Toon and she trotted that usual crap about how "our fans are the problem because we expect too much." Craaaaaaaaap commentator though.

When Ameobi has a piss, the Nile overflows.
