Haha I downloaded and watched that game yesterday, for the first time since watching it live. Absolutely boss game, the Czechs should have won that tournament. Fucking Greece.

He has absolutely zero knowledge of players abroad like, you can tell that when he does punditry for the WC and stuff.

Masterplan_safc Masterplan Martin O'Neill's last game in charge of a PL game ended with him relegating nufc. Legend. #SAFC Except it didn't, ye daft cunt.

Yep, score draw sees them in the Waffa. Please, Valencia.

4th is ours man, look at the table.

3 consecutive 6th Place finishes with Villa (despite having no money) Read more: http://www.readytogo.net/smb/showthread.php?p=11318001#post11318001#ixzz1fNiqoIaR

BBC journalist on Twitter reckoned we had scout at Twente - Fulham last night. Luuk De Jong and Douglas obvious potential targets.

Tooj in not keen on European #10 shunted wide shocker.

If he did come into the team I think I'd rather play him centrally and Ben Arfa left.

Pards is amazing.

Good stuff, had a feeling he'd sneak on with those that are unavailable.

I like that team too, only thing that worries me is Raylor at fullback with Ben Arfa infront of him.

Simpson wide right?!?

Before my time, but is this the most excited they've been for a manager since Lawrie MackemEnemy?

StanCollymore Stan Collymore Sunderland fans,at the end of 2012/13 season you'll be supporting the North Easts highest placed Premier League team. Quote me on that. StanCollymore Stan Collymore Im not anti or pro Sunderland or Newcastle.Im just going to put some cash on Sunderland finishing above Newcastle next season.

Someday it's all going to come crashing down, and when it does, I'll be laughing like a bond villain.

I don't think he's even a coach so there is no argument there, Pardew is a better coach, but overall, O'Neill is a better manager you have to say based on his CV if anything. Pardew has the potential to go onto better things mind. I get the impression O'Niell needs the right set up and right people around him to succeed whereas Pardew could probably succeed or rather do a decent enough job off his own steam based on his hard work, willingness to learn and of course his tactical ability which has probably impressed me most since he become our manager. I also get the impression with Pardew that he is willing to throw whatever he knows or has learned out of the window for something else if it made him a better manager or brought him better results, the likes of O'Niell are too stubborn, too set in their ways. Pardew is a new breed of manager or coach, O'Neill is old school if you like. Personally I'm no fan of stubborn, old school managers and prefer the European style set-up where the staff and infrastructure stays the same and the coach is just that - a coach. I think there is a stigma around that kind of set-up in this country but I honestly think for mid-range clubs (ourselves, Everton, Villa, mackems etc) it is the best way forward. As much as I can highlight O'Neill's faults it's true that you really can't argue with his record on paper, I just don't think he's the right option for a club trying to close the gap with the top 6.

Really? Wow.

"What an absolutely bitter cunt you are" The guy was being pretty friendly too, bizarre.

Certainly not sure if he's a better coach, as OCK pointed out, which is fundamentally what we need right now. Like you say though HTT, O'Neill would be an unmitigated disaster under our current set up.

Shame, that could have bought them Mark Noble.

Honestly never heard it round here. I'm not from Prudhoe either remember.
