Get Xisco, Løvenkrands & Ranger the fuck out of this club before even considering moving Best on.

Probably a Spurs fan digging his heels in.

It´s the "black" troll face innit?

Anderson fucking Silva would be proud of that liver shot

Can´t fault anything he did bar the offside positions he set himself up in. The one in the first half when Obertan ran with the ball Seems like we finally have a great partnership up top for the first time since Shearer and Bellamy.

Post #51 and on man, I was howling!

Subbing on a quick striker when opposing team plays a high line is hardly a ph.d worthy move

Difference between a win and a loss imo. Would be great if true, but players always seem to get fit for the match against us, so im not confident until i see the team sheet right before the match.

Quite the coincidence that this thread was bumped today prior to the match

Probably just as divided opinions on him there as there was here.

Krul Simpson Willicini Santon Obertan Guthrie Raylor Gutierrez Best Ameobi Sub: Ben Arfa, Ba, Cisse, Abeid, Perch, Løvenkrands, Elliott Subs used: Perch & Løvenkrands on at 60-70min, Ba on 85 min.

Agnonlahor will play. They always do.

I fear Aston Villa will tear us a new one WBA-style with Agbonlahor up top.

They have scored some absolute crackers since O´Neill arrived. Im trying to convince myself that these goals could have been scored no matter who was in charge of them, and without having seen any of their games since he took over bar the first game against Blackburn (where they scored two fantastic goals) I hope their general play is still like it was against them. Once the wondergoals dry up, they will start to fall down the table.

4-4-2 with Ba floating is fine and dandy with me as long as there is room for Ben Arfa on the right.

More than likely, can't remember any other concrete links. Tomkins Yeah, apart from him That guy from Chievo?

Simpsons backing off doesn´t seem so bad when looking at this Wolves defense.

Yep. Not sure the promise of 1/3 season of PL football was enough to sway him. Wise decision.

Agree with Goran here. We´ve got a top class striker in, no outgoings of significant note, tried to get a backup CB/RB but will not pay over the odds. Fair enough. Good window. Just shut it now.

One of the best things Sunderland have going for them atm is their energy from what I've seen. Putting Davies and Bridge on the field will eliminate a good part of this. Too bad Bridge deal isn't permanent.

Did any of the Dembas play well today?

oh, and btw. "Astute piece of business" by Shepherds standards was to sell Aaron Hughes, a still young and versatile defender, for £1m and sign Craig Moore on a free transfer.

Shepherd "understood" ambition. That´s about it. Luque transfer being a prime example. Had that been Ashley, we would have got him for what, 2/3 of the price, and on 2/3 of the wages he was offered? That would (at the time we got him) have been a great piece of business.
