Would play : Krul Anita Taylor MYM Santon Sissoko Cabaye Jonas Marveaux Obertan Cisse Expect to see Simpson (), Marv shifted out of position to accommodate an out of position Sissoko and Perch at DM.

He did a very good job at Swindon leaving them in a good position in league one as well as getting promoted. I think his enthusiasm and drive will give the Sunderland squad a lift, if only a short term one as others have said. Plays decent football too, by most accounts I've read.

What a ridiculous thing to say. How so?

Good appointment. Would have had him here.

Lee Ryder ‏@lee_ryder 18m Sissoko heads over to #nufc fans to hand shirt into the crowd. Probably the only player to emerge with credit today.

Yep. Can't see where the points are coming from outside of these games. Worrying.

Chelsea fucking up my accy

Good thing Perch is on to defend our 2-0 loss.

Thought it was a strange signing at the time. Lightweight, and certainly doesn't fit into our team under Pardew. Might look good at Swansea, maybe.

Listen mate. Ashley has backed this idiot to the hilt. It's Pardew's fault and nobody else's. I don't believe Ashley couldn't attract a better manager, either.

Bobby Ball

'two great footballing sides'

Going to appreciate Debuchy even more by the end of this game.

Williamson was linked with Swansea in the chronicle today.

Obertan over Marv? Awful selection.

Ashley Young really is crap.

Was linked with Liverpool today.

Me too. He's also overrated and I get the impression we didn't do a very thorough character check on him (judging by a few stories I read in the French press).

This for me but with MYM and Perch swapped around.

Think Sunderland and ourselves have an almost equal chance of going down (i.e. an outside chance).
