No, not really. There's nothing wrong with most of the squad. The major problem is that we've forgotten how to defend. We have two utter fucking jokers in Dunne and Collins, who have been dreadful all season (and were, apparently, out on the piss till 4am the morning of the West Brom game), who the manager won't drop, while Carlos Cuellar sits on the bench. Kyle Walker is going to be a great midfielder, but he is never in a million years a full back. Luke Young has steadied the ship since coming in at left back. Ashley Young will go, and to be honest, that's a good thing, he's been poor for almost two years now, and both he and the club could benefit from a change. At the start of the season, I thought it would be hard to make the top six again. Looking at the way the season has panned out, I now think it would not have been impossible. Having said that, for this squad to have spent most of the season in the BOTTOM six is absolutely unacceptable, and that is down to the manager, I am afraid. Entirely agree about Young. He just isn't playing well enough but you could still get a decent fee from someone. What's happened to Albrighton?

June In - a sense of hope and positivity about what the summer and next season will bring. August Out - the last drops of optimism after Emmerson Boyce is presented as a "marquee signing", closely followed by the capture of Chris Iwelumo on loan.

Loved it last year when he picked a fight with Moyes when we were outplaying them. I wonder who'd win that one.

Probably the best weekend in North East football for quite some time. Well done Whitley.

Where do you need to strengthen apart from get a good striker or 2 KD? A centre back? I dunno, seems a stereotypical criticism but I still think teams can bully Spurs and get up and at them.

I don't know.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!! :celb: :celb: Fuck you Sewelly!

Aye, Wolfsburg's survival will come down to the last day. Them and Munchingladback both on 35 points, Wolf with the better GD.

Howay Darlo btw.

Ridiculously frustrating, year after year.

Not sure. Think Mancini said something (not sure if it was aimed at Neville or not) but Phil wasn't happy about it. Probably just RM being pissed off at losing - as I say, we didn't even have to play well today and we still came from behind against the richest club in the league (world?) to win.

Arguably the fact you were 0-0 at Old Trafford after 10 minutes - just showed your mid-table pedigree in abundance. I'd say Wolves, in all seriousness. That win really got rid of most of the realistic doubts it seemed.

THERE IS STILL DOUBT!

CL medal winning Muntari scores.

Oh Christ, don't let Jo score against us.

I dunno what it is about Man City, past few seasons we've loved playing them. Haven't even played well today.

Bolton level.

Hits a burger scores for West Ham, 1-1.

Osman once again. Best player for a while now. Fucking brilliant header.

Distin, sexy.

The signs were there for a Sunderland win. All feasible logic points to a Bolton win + me betting on it = away win.

I'll have no blame attached to me.

Uh oh.

Sunderland ahead.

I dunno, even if you win today, you could be deducted points for Shola Ameobi's crimes against football. Need a couple more wins, really.
