We need him. Send roeder back to the academy and bring in sam.

God give me strength. How do you come to the conclusion that I believe everything Managers say? Because I pointed out that Mourinho didnt actually want Duff to leave when some idiot claimed we only sign players nobody wants (basically)? I havent given up on the thread topic, I have followed it around every twist and turn, unlike some, who've never grasped it from start to finish. Allardyce is not better than Roeder, if he was that good, his best season would not be below an average Manager who was picking up Souness' mess, as much as you want to believe its true. Look at Moyes at Everton, he may have flirted with relegation a few times, but he's had them finish in the top 4 and they're not far away again. He hasnt been blessed with the same duration as Allardyce either. Allardyce is another mediocre Manager. If he's that fuckin good explain to me how come a s*** Manager like Roeder can finish above him with the problems he inherited? Could I see Roeder finishing above Wenger? Ferguson? Benitez? Mourinho? Absolutely not, Allardyce, no problem. That wasn't Alladyce's best season. They finished 6th the year before, just behind liverpool

This is Keane's first season as a manager. They were bottom when he took over. ...are two simple reasons. Bottom after 4 games... Fair enough for new. As i've said, there's nothing to suggest h'll be bad, but i dont really think anything suggests he'll be good. If he wasnt a big name player he'd be getting nothing like the hype. Sounds to me like how souness did at Rangers.

Keane may well turn out good, but i dont know what has made people think he will McCarthy stormed the championship with less money, keane hasnt. Why's keane being hyped but mick not? Roy Keane is? He could have fooled me. I despised him and just thought he was a nasty guy long before he came to sunderland

How crap are burnley? incapable of stringing 2 passes together. The commentator's banging on about how there are 20 000 more there than on keane's first game- as if it's something to be proud of. Surely it just highlights there are 20 000 glory hunters there.

2-2 pen. They had one earlier too and missed

great goal just made it 2-1 to burnley. They need to score twice to keep promotion in their hands! Come on! I so dont want them up

get in there, burnley equalised tonight (seems most relevent thread)

I've been a regular at away games since i was 6 and have had no problems. I just stood on my chair. And as i said, they'll bottle it. Charlton said they'd reduce and they actually increased. Unless they can sell them to their lot, we'll get them

On away fans, as someone said, it's between us, manu (and the mackems when theyre up)

Stuff them. Standing is half of what makes away games so good. They usually bottle it anyway

You're making a fool of yourself. I dont like religous celebrations, catholic, muslim, morman, whatever! Nobody mentioned a christian celebration, therefore nobody had the 'opening' to slag it off. Somebody said they liked Emre's muslim one, so that presented the opportunity for a reply, which was that of criticism It's people like you being over sensitive that create racial tensions. As for Dyer's xmas thing being religious, you should know that xmas is no longer religous for most (in the uk anyway) What the hell do you want him to do? You want him to bring up religion every thread to slag off?! Nobody mentioned Solano blessing himself, so why the hell would someoby slag it off? For God (or Allah, Abraham, the Great Spirit, Athena etc. - wouldnt want to discriminate)'s sake. That's what you get with irrational, religous types though i suppose

Aye cos we were going to lose milner. Im glad we didnt.

Was just having a look at the table. All the early leaders have slipped off the pace. Cardiff and West Brom the most notable. Hopefully Luton will put in an effort to stave off relegation. Luton are already down. Derby relegated them

What the hell happened with reading. 1-0 q#when i checked - 3-1 reading now!

Luton ¬_¬ ?

If birmingham and derby win their games, one slip up (draw) would stop the mackems coming up now. Shame birmingham and derby are crap

Paul Bracewell Chris Waddle Steve Caldwell Michael Bridges

I find that quite strange since he was here less time than babayaro so far. But good to hear!

I don't really approve of the above song, but i dont really remember hearing about it for KP. The following songs were sang at the last 2 away games as sunderland had been relegated at the time The old war song "We'll meet again, Don't know where, Don't know when, But I know we'll meet again some sunny day" "Lets all laugh at sunderland Lets alllaugh at sunderland nananana nananana" "You're just the worst team in history!" Last season: "Geordie Boys are taking the piss" More general "Liam O'brian Andy O'brian Any any o'brian Who put the ball in the mackems net? O'brian, O'brian!" There are loads of songs sang over the years though

I agree bobby was right to go, but not at that time. The 5th season was poor in comparison and i think we'd have slipped further the next (though not 14th) Do you know we got as many points last season as bobby's last year

Is he realistic though? If we could get him, i'd love him, but while there's a chance, i think he's unlikely to come.

He was crap in the first season for us, when he was on the right. But the next 2 i liked him

No - That was 2 years previous, when tino put his shirt on the corner flag. You're getting mixed up because we got him from Metz. And im pretty sure the blackburn goal was his only one. I remember wanting to sign him though. I think we wanted to but wouldnt pay their price

I'd just watch footy as neutral. Naturally i'd probably come to take a liking to a team, but not the sort i'd spend money on
