@Sammy_Ameobi Samuel Ameobi Ahhh mannn I've just discovered a gaping hole around the private area of my one piece...back to primark it is! So it seems that he bought the onesie from Primark. Tempted to go get one myself

And so it shall (hopefully). I actually wonder if O'Neill can handle the mackems' expectations. He is a "big name" (amongst the press anyway) so I think the mackems' expectations will rise quite significantly. I'm thinking that he'll probably have a tough time keeping the fans happy.....

Injured I think.

I actually hope we do. Will be great banter.

I still pretty much expect Maiga to be one of our signings in the January transfer window.

Good to see him back

Tiote isn't going to leave in the January transfer window. Pretty confident about that. (Pardew's quotes also puts me at ease I suppose).

I respect the family's wishes to have the tribute postponed. I can understand the reasoning for doing so. We, as fans, can still commemorate Gary tomorrow.

One journalist's view on O'Neill in terms of his dealings with the press: @GrahamSpiersLucky Sunderland if they get Martin O’Neill. The most fascinating, engaging and infuriating manager I have ever dealt with. Great times.

I'd like to know what he's basing this on. Same here. I guess he's basing it entirely on Martin O'Neill being the mackems' manager. I like Stan, but he's a fully paid up member of the MON arse licking club. The president of which is Henry Winter. Vice President, Patrick Barclay. Oh. I just thought of something that affects you lot. MON is the most bewilderingly popular manager going amongst the non-tabloid press. Unfortunately for you, that means you can expect an awful lot of the above (although usually not quite so in yer face). For Sunderland fans, they can expect years of the press implying they're extremely lucky to have him as their manager, and for said press to belittle the club. Great, I look forward to it.....

A new injury?

Just seen Ambrose's goal from last night. What a goal.

Nice story. Good for him

Not a chance McGeady will leave Moscow for Sunderland. Heskey it is.

I feel sorry for those 24 people who follow Wireside.

Deadwood is probably harsh in describing Milner but don't think he should be starting England games.

It's all about a fresh start really. We need to rebuild which should happen as soon as Capello leaves. That is, get rid of the deadweight in the England team atm (Barry, Milner etc.) and start picking the promising youngsters (Cleverley, Welbeck, Sturridge etc.) as well as having some decent experience around (I'd still have Lampard, Terry and Gerrard around tbh). Capello has been choosing some of the promising youngsters, granted, but he also continually picks players like Barry who are not the players to take England forward. Time for the new generation to come in.

On the flip side they're super gash in the league after European games. Yep

Favourite.

Interesting indeed....
