Sunderland outplayed Spurs for sure, but Gomes played well. Sunderland didn't have too many clear chances, best one was the fat man hitting the cross bar. Penalty was controversial to begin with, but Gomes saved easily. First Spurs goal was somewhat lucky, but the second was brilliant. What on earth happened in your signature, btw Niel?

I could not give a damn about the first one. If Ashley spends enough and oversees the resolidification of us as a Premiership clubs then things will be alright. The past can be forgotten. The future is the concern.

He's garbage, rubbish of the lowest type. He's had one mildly prolific season in his entire career. Even for Auxerre and in the South African PL he wasn't exactly banging the goals in. Still, he tries hard, and I'd probaly prefer him to Harewood, who apparently doesn't give a damn. Following from another thread: Moritz Volz. Only 26 as well.

The way he played for us he didn't get to use it much. It was one of the most frustrating things to watch when he would get the ball with back to goal, go on a mazy run in the wrong direction and eventually pass to Butt, who invariably lost the ball. Last year the injury definitely hampered his speed, but it seems to be back now. I watch him a fair bit more than others in this forum because I have other interest in him, and I can say that I think he is a good asset to have because of his style and attributes, but he will never be a leader or great player for Nigeria or any club he joins. He's mentally weak and thoroughly inconsistent.

Amazed that Volz is still available...We should definitely sign him. No clue how a 26-year old with his pedigree is walking around unattached.

Everton have had a horrendous start injury wise, and the supporters should be content knowing they are still contending for their goals at this point. Treading water, before snapping at the jugular vein that is the European places. As for Rafa, we should remember that rising expectations lead to revolution. The bar has been set, and he is falling short. The people want change. Change shall come about. Rafa's days are numbered.

Are Yobo and Yakubu looking fit at all?

Lille-Genoa and Fulham-Roma should be very good games tonight. Lazio-Villarreal could be crucial as it seems Salzburg might run away with that group. Really don't remember them being this good.

an absolute rocket Very similar, only instead of going left and with the left foot, going inside and on his right (weaker foot I think?) Finally, I've seen it, and it's pretty fantastic. Lovely goal. Not as good as Martins v. Spurs though. Maybe it's because I watched that live, but I still haven't gotten over how quickly that ball was in the net.

What about the most traditional cup competition in the world...the E:on sponsored FA Cup (or at least was). Can't remember much fuss over that. And the....Barclays Premier League!

Saw that Arsenal was a new ground not a renaming - so its a bit different tbh. Didn't know White Hart Lane had a change of name Edit: it must be referring to Spurs proposed new ground I guess. A new stadium is different, but it gives the club who has that an advantage when it comes to getting money in. I can see more and more clubs doing this and was only a matter of time tbh. We just set the ball rolling. I don't really even see why this so much different than everything else. The game is corporate, but the club and the stadium will be called what the supporters call them.

He's also playing in the Premiership and is on a three-year contract instead of a one-year contract. I think he feels fine.

Benfica were beaten 2-0 by Braga at the weekend. Amazing you can type Benfica into Google with such alacrity. Everyone said 'Oh Benfica have been class this year x amount of goals x amount of home wins' yet no one had actually seen them or the teams they had played. I even said 'They've not actually played any of the bigger sides.' They come up against one in the form of Braga and they get beat 2-0. They were most likely exhausted from raping Everton.

. thats quite a good idea. easier to get the numbers and cause a bit disruption. it would mean them having to get the police in to clear the protestors. you'd probably get a lot of shoppers joining in too. easier to organize than a huge demo at SJP and would cause more problems. still should have a protest at stadium, but the ones at the stores would allow those not comfortable joining in at the match to vent their spleen. i was talking about this at work today, 500-1000 people walk into Sportsdirect at eldon square at midday on Sat afternoon and just sit down, block everything, tills, doors etc....no one can move in or out and nothing gets sold, then at 1pm everyone gets up and walks to SJP, join in any other protests, then goes to the match. I feel like interrupting the operations of a business is something that warrants the intervention of police forces. Not sure this a bright idea.

Wouldn't want him back. You're insane, then. I would literally take all of these players, back. Except Owen , who I dislike.

Just saw the highlight, reminds me of when Oba did the same against Spuds away few years back. (Closer range, mind) If it's anything like Oba's against Spurs, than I must see this goal. Sounds like a thunder bolt of dynamite. My favorite types of goal. Ok Minister, i've gave you my bank details, when am I getting the $8 million? Bloody hell, man!

When were we "nailed on to be relegated"? It's not like we were Derby or Watford for goodness sake.

Beye sent off. HABIB!!!

To be fair, Rwanda have shown potential and they have a somewhat decent shot of qualifying for the ACN. They have some players in decent Euro countries and are probaly one of the more decent teams in East Africa. Barnes might be on to something.

I don't mind it really, as long as St. James Park is in the name, then that is what it will be called. Ther whole "Park Stadium" thing makes no sense though, and you'd think someone would realise this. The name of the park hasn't really changed, imo. It's not different than a shirt sponsorship. If we win the Championship, we ought to watch for snipers.

All of them are doing quite well it seems , except for Viduka, who is doing exactly what he did while he was at NUFC: nothing at all. Beye will probaly be unhappy with his role as well. Duff seems to already have found better form than he ever did here, while Bassong has basically continued on doing what he was doing here. Owen has been more productive this term, but he still does not look very good, imo. Martins has been hit and miss (surprise!) for Wolfsburg. Scored a double in the last league match, and his started ever since Grafite lost his head. As you know, given has been pretty much the same player as well.

Considering we end up winning by five goals, I don't think it will be a massive deal Still, I do agree about the decision though.

If Enrique goes, it will likely be because he wants to, and the same can be said of Jonas. The question might just be replacing them, imo. Similar to the summer, it would have been nice to keep Bassong, Oba, etc., but they had ambitions and suitors in higher places. The problem is that we brought no one else in. However, at that time Ashley was still "actively trying to sell the club"
