Well, these things are there to be broken at some point, so if it is Poyet, then hopefully his jinx over us will be broken in a few weeks time.

I know people have varying opinions on him, but for those interested, there's a documentary on ITV at 9pm tonight... 'Being Paul Gascoigne', about his continued battle with alcoholism.

Total Sport should be a canny listen on the drive home this evening.

Haha... be even funnier if it turns out that it was 'Catts' that he chinned. )

Well on SSN, SunderLOL are saying there is no shortlist yet for the next poor b*****d, so maybe something like that has happened if he's been sacked last night, without a replacement lined-up... especially when one of yesterdays papers claimed he had two league games to try turn it around, or at least stop the rot.

Slightly mixed feelings about this. Whilst its great to see the unwashed surpassing us in the 'laughing stock' stakes again, I just hope they don't make the right appointment next time, and/or get that new manager lift again, before the derby match. Crazy how it went so pear-shaped, so quickly. SunderLOL indeedy.

Talksport were baiting him to go on just after the Window closed, to explain himself, but I guess it never happened. Maybe Ashley has him bound and gagged somewhere.... or hopefully doped up to the eyeballs in an old people home as far away from here as possible.

Testimonial replica strips available here... http://sh-testimonial.sondicoprofessional.com/buy-here-9 Hopefully the some, if not all proceeds from sales will go to the charities too.

Momo Sissoko in talks with Reading, and Carlton Cole might be rejoining West Ham.... according to TS.

For deadline day lunacy, nothing will top the Bryan Ruiz 'hijack attempt'.... especially with the added drama of the helicopter being needing to be moved, mid (alleged) negotiation.

Hehe... Lineker talking about palace signing a player called 'Jack Hunt'.... "i needed to be careful with that one" )

Ji hauled off... Norman Stanley on for 2nd half.

s*** ref, it's should have been red/ Aye - funny that Sky aren't showing it any attention whatsoever mind. Straight red. 100% Sky are itching for an upset, like.

Bardsley has been suspended by SAFC while they investigate that comment.

Good site. Yeah, from memory they don't normally put the general gossip/rumours on there - hopefully there is something definite in this.

0/10 WNB Why is "Bazza" so f***ing happy though? At a guess, I assume 'it' was the first to get the new home shirt. Like when 'Lou and Andy' camped out a few years back.

Maybe he just didn't want to go to Portugal?

Better than last pre-season, already then.

or Donnay.

Well its only really since they returned to pre-season training that they've had to wear kit with 'Wonga' on it.

Relieved at this news, but don't know what's more embarrassing..... trying to give Harford a job here, or him knocking us back!

Well he has no standing in the game, other than a reputation for playing like a shaved chimp, his credentials are s***. He's is the square root of f*** all in this game. You talking about Kinnear or Harford!

Educate us, BM. I won't because I like you I genuinely am interested though. What's he done wrong besides be from Sunderland? I need to hate this guy like the rest of you Yeah, BM. We're foreign as f***. This is obviously the newest slap in the face and we want to know what's up. It wasn't actually a slight at you for being foreign at all, it was more the fact that you hadn't heard of him, which tells it's own tale. Firstly, it's Cronyism of the worst kind, secondly, he's never amounted to a hill of beans in his coaching career and now all of a sudden, he has a role at a top (debatable I know) Premiership club, which if you look at his recent history you simply couldn't foresee that coming and thirdly (and least important) he's a born and bred Mackem. or his playing career, really... apart from always seeming to taking great pleasure in scoring against us.
