Defending for the first goal.

Not having a pop at anyone but this Ben-Arfa stuff is a none starter isnt it? He'd be the exact type of player we'd have gone for under the old board, something Hughton said we wouldnt be doing. And when you consider that this paper has already linked us with Erdinc who's way out of our league price wise it's likely that this is bollocks.

Highlights anywhere online?

Not just the 6 starts but the failure to get goals consistently wherever he has been in his career at a lower level.

Best has had time to prove himself. Granted it wasnt very long, but at the end of the day he failed to score in 11(?) championship games for us, add that to the fact he hasnt showed he might have the ability to do well in the PL at any point in his career, could anyone blame Hughton or anyone else for not having faith in him to get the goals to keep us up? He'll get his chances, if he impresses in training/pre season/in substitute appearances this season then he'll earn the faith and change peoples minds. However I dont think he's good enough to do that.

Carroll is better than Jones imo. Jones is fucking gash.

You can, I'm just about to do it for Villa. So you can still buy tickets up there?

gogonileranger was actually Nile Ranger. Nobody can tell me it wasnt.

No doubt some will have read here. Stephen Elliot used to post on the SMB iirc

Shame really. Would they still be in this position if they had qualified for the CL?

Not sure if it was 90K but It would have been massive wages. He was probably on massive wages at Pompey too, which wouldn't surprise me at all considering the state they are now in.

What Diarra? Have we been linked with a Diarra or something?! Mamadou, who looks set to leave Real Madrid.

Didnt we almost sign Lassana Diarra before he went to pompey? Just before Allardyce was sacked I think.

What because we're talking about Sunderland? Whats the problem, they're not Voldemort you know, we are allowed to speak of them.

Wtf? Berating us because we were in the Intertoto cup, a competition they've never been good enough to qualify for? You could go through half the points on there and ask how a Sunderland fan has the nerve to even attempt to take the piss.

Really nice kit Agreed

They've got Mick Quinn and David Kelly in the title too. One was a good palyer if im not mistaken and the other scored one of the most important goals in the clubs history. Like I said in another thread; Morons the lot of them. Anyway I like the whole fuss over the number 9. Its normally worn by our best attacker, the player all the young kids look up to.

absolute morons

Kenny Miller. Thats all.

That Derby game. One of the worst games ive ever seen us play in over the years. Not just because of the woeful standard of opposition but seeing Allardyce go away to derby and attempt t play for a fucking draw. Miller scored a cracking goal too iirc. Having said that, 2 seasons in the prem; 2 goals For Wolves and 4 for Derby as they both finished bottom, 31 this year. Stay well clear please.

Gah Kenny Miller can fuck off. Shite.

Fuck it dont want him then.

Where's this Flamini stuff even come from? I'd w*** myself red raw if he came. Exactly the type of creative midfielder we've been crying out for since Roeder was in charge. Not that any of this will be true btw

It seems they've got an ITK on RTG that's getting everything right. If Wigan are willing to let him go for 1M, it just shows how little he has improved since his time here then.
