Got the ball. Nah he dirty sista She is as well.

Got the ball.

Aye, Coleman does look good. Needs to improve his control when running at pace but never expected him to be as good as he's turning out to be. Nice asset to have.

What about Tony Hibbert. A similar rennasiance http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu216/doyleboy123/HIBBOSCOREScopy-1.jpg?t=1260751344 http://dalystew.files.wordpress.com/2010/08/hibbert2.jpg

You can call one of those fans me. Thought he was weak, went missing in games and generally gash, but I really do think he's improved a lot in the past 12-18 months and I'm delighted to say that. His close control is excellent.

Nice to see they didn't watch much of us at all as anyone who did will know Osman was one of our best players, if not the best, from February onwards.

"The PL is so strong now" Is it? Above us it is, but below? Ah, shit, I forgot. The A-team of O'Shea, Brown and Gardner are gonna advance Sunderland to new frontiers. I was quite disappointed to see Marv's post as up to then, generally, it was alright. Good players, question marks over how we'll progress, easily beatable on an off-day, sure, I agree with all that. Then THAT post.

Capture. Almost as bad as a "swoop".

Nothing much there, surprisingly realistic answers. And then you get to the latest comment where we'd be "lucky to survive in this league much longer". :lol:

Wenger never saw him, though.

Nasri and Modric are only getting warmed up. Just wait for the "will-he-won't-he" Leon Osman to Barca saga.

But it's Shola. Do you not realise the humour he creates? The humour, damn it.

I'd say the dive was FIFA-esque. "Oh and that's a great dive! Unfortunately the ball's already in the net, but it's still good!"

Decent!

I'll be round in a bit - in this instance, I'll gladly go where you've been before. Christ she's bloody amazing.

Bollocks, 14's off.

Oh my.

Keown is the most insipid, pointless pundits ever in the history of forever, ever. In the world. Ever.

Even from here, I can see the horror on his face.

Got a text from Skybet about a free fiver. Deposit £5, and get another £5 free. And this time it actually is a free £5 straight up, no sort of stipulations about how you have to bet. Deposited £5, now got £10 in my account. Hope a few others got this message? Or is it just random when they do these promotions; because I've seen others getting promotional offers when I've got nowt?

Yes, it seems to be a forum full of 90% mongs but am I right in thinking this is their logic? Foreign player signs for SAFC: an exciting prospect, love the ambition the club is showng. For NUFC: lol what a flop he's going to be SAFC pay a big wage/transfer fee: this is a clear message we mean business NUFC do the same: look at them wasting money, will they ever learn? SAFC look for a cheap deal: look at Quinn, Short and Bruce sensibly managing our club, they're class. NUFC do the same: LOL no money hahahahaha Quinn says they're going for a player: Get in, we're after that player. Says they're not after that player: Get in, we're after that player, ol' Niall playing games!

I'm not saying they're all equal, but he deserves to be mentioned. The point is an awful lot of big names are retiring at a similar time.

I'm sure someone else can elaborate but the death of an Italian generation? Pirlo, Gattuso, Del Piero, Inzaghi, Totti all on their last legs.

Cannavaro, Nesta, Maldini. Such superb defenders. Zambrotta to complete the defence is a rather decent addition too.

Ouch!
