Ketsbaia

He got booked 11 times last season so theres at least one, maybe two. Got loads of cards in his first season too.

Anyone that thinks we'll beat them by 3 or 4 clearly didnt watch us last season. We try not to do those. A horrible, ugly 1-0 home win.

Get in!! More Ba contract stories in the media. He'll either have to sort out his agents or go, imo. Can't see the club tolerating this for much longer.

Does this start Sunderland's friendly alliance with Club Brugge, following on from Villa and Norwich?

that mini one is brilliant

Ridiculous by Brugge there, knowing well in advance how many are going over. The demand for tickets will be insane, so I'm glad I didn't risk it.

Can't see us winning this. Maritimo are better than Atromitos and we were shambolic against those with a similar squad. Hopefully snatch a draw.

Reply #4 I wouldn't expect anything else from those troglodytes.

Neil, whats the latest on Jelavic's injury btw? He made a glittering fantasy league debut for me on Monday.....

You may be right tbh, I can't remember The whole thing is from a while back, so maybe we're both geniuses.

May I remind you all of an ex-avatar of mine.... http://imageshack.us/a/img840/7459/bigsho.png

Shame about Woolnough. I genuinely thought I'd seen him on TV recently. Bit of a shock tbh.

Looking forward to seeing him again. Cant be bothered to make a banner or owt, but its nice that he'll have the touchline to himself whilst Pards serves his ban.

I'm a fan but he was poor tonight. It took so long for Pardew to start him in the league and I fear tonight might've set him back further

Following the Van Persie debacle and the Cuellar substitution, guess who also had Jelavic? Here's a clue: the kid has terrible, terrible luck.

Probably. On the rare occasions he's not injured, he's away in Africa or serving a suspension. Then it takes a couple of games for him to get back into things....

Neville really is a brilliant pundit.

Putting Anita and Jonas on the right was very clever. Credit where its due.

A ludicrous leap. Magical.

Erm...what the hell just happened? A bloody brilliant second half, although to say we were lucky is a mighty understatement By all rights, we shouldve lost by 4 or 5.

Fergie is a twat. If our match stays 1-0 and Baines gets 3 bonus points, Fergie has cost me 34 points. A despicable, red nosed, whiskey faced, haggis man.

Some nice touches but theres really no point in him being there if the others play like that.

This is excruciating to watch. Without exception, theyve all been fucking horrific.

If this was FIFA i'd have forfeited by now.

Pathetic performance so far.
