Nobody

Wouldn't boo Bramble, tbh. He was always loyal and whatever

Same 11, same formation.

Do they have to start with a defecit of a couple of goals? Only fair I reckon.

Got absolutely steaming with a couple of mates. Not sure if I've ever been that drunk before

Didn't someone land on his foot? A freak-injury by the sound of it, nothing to do with the boots or fragile feet.

New sig-tastic!

We've got star-players already

Kaboul looks decent actually - carries the ball out of the defence well, usefull on the counter attack i think. Sunderland have controlled the last few minutes though, but have made sloppy mistakes. Aye, bar Kaboul, the Spurs defence have looked really shaky. Jenas spends most of his time walking around, doing nothing...

Oops, Alan...

Smith vs Bolton

Great news

James Yobo, Carvalho, Emerton, Rozenhal Fabregas, Gamst Pedersen, Carsley, Ronaldo © Berbatov, Van Persie Can't say I'm overly excited by my team

Sportbladet (Sweden's biggest daily sports-paper) has us down as 6th, and that's before the signings of Smith, Cacapa and Enrique

My gut feeling says 1-1. It'll be a very interesting game, and I'd be happy with a point

Sunderland is not even in the google spell-checker in IE

First one is class

Want them to beat their own record, but as the FA finds out just before the season starts (and after sunderland had to sell their "best" players) that Wigan, Derby and Reading all "cheated" they get relegated instead, leaving Sunderland up for another year of agony and another easy six points for Newcastle

It'd sound mint if two different songs came from two different ends IMO

I'm half-for it half-against it. I remember going to the Liverpool game in the 04/05 season, and there were singing coming from all over the ground. Although no great atmosphere, it was better than what I saw at the Arsenal game this season, where the Toon Ultras (horrible, horrible name!!) were the only ones singing.

It's June ffs. It's August Now ffs! (been waiting two months to say that!) and we still haven't signed a left back. Actually my point was (although not very well made) we'd already had 4 (this is the 5th) Transfer Windows to sort this issue out! If we go into the season with a right footed, nineteen year old centrehalf as our left back, I for one will probably shout "I don't believe it" in the style of Victor Meldew. (Saying all that...... I don't think we will, I trust Sam to do something!) It was June when I made that post though in fairness. I reckon a left-back will arrive before the window closes though. You can quote this if it doesn't happen Count on it. Bump

Has to be Enrique. Basing that on absolutely nothing.

Harper Solano (Carr)Taylor Roz Enrique (N'Zogbia) Milner (Solano) Geremi Smith N'Zogbia (Milner) Martins Viduka The names in brackets are if Enrique is not fit to play. Unfortunately, I think we'll see Butt and Geremi in the middle with Smith upfront with Martins, as I don't think Sam thinks Viduka is fit enough.

----- Geremi --- Barton ----- FTW. Box-to-box attacker mixer-upper in Barton, while Geremi is the cool, calm and collected playmaker who can play the ball and spread the play - who'd probably sit back. Don't see why it wouldn't work. Agree, and I'd stick Smith in instead of Barton while Barton is injured.

Geremi and Barton/Emre (depending on who we play) with Butt and Smith as back-up doesn't sound half-bad for CM. Certainly better than Parker, Emre and Butt
