that pace is a pretty decent weapon when used well though, O'neill got his results early on with sunderland by riding his luck and catching teams on the break and i'd imagine he will be trying to do the same again. £10million isnt much really these days, you've got to remember we're pretty much an anomaly in transfers, getting the likes of Cisse and Cabaye so cheaply. I'd say Agbondlahor is a decent player for a middle/lower premier league club, which is exactly what Sunderland are.

He was playing under Alex McLeish though, hardly the greatest manager for a striker to be playing for.

Agbonlahor for £10 million i don't think would actually be THAT bad. Collins though...

the Arsenal coach is hilarious

this is brilliant

just the way the media act every single time we're in a major competition, every time its all doom and gloom in the group stages as we limp through, then all of a sudden they think we have a chance when we reach the quarters and act like its some sort of embarrasment when we lose.

don't know why Cole took one, he looked like he'd already missed when we was walking up, 0 confidence in himself was obvious. didn't think Young was too bad tbh, made the right decision with what to do with it.

Pirlo has been the best player of the Euros by some distance like.

the manager looks like he need to be put on suicide watch.

thats a crackin' finish.

how did that ball reech him, comical defending
