Agree on Barry Davies. Class act. Moments of great commentary: Lennie Lawrence at Roker Park for LOB's brilliant free kick ?

It's an absolutely brilliant interview.

He does look canny, I suspect the money helps in that regard. He's staying at Mr Nail's gaff in Gosforth.

In Austin, Texas right now visiting family. Just had a beer or 3 with my cousin who is very excited about the Toon coming to the East Coast.

??

That's a great line in there ?

Spot on. Unreal anticipation and reading of the situation

The thing I hate more than anything about football in this country.

Pope Pearce Batty Mitro Shearer That side would have a certain robustness

Hate Derby games. They make me ill. The delight of victory doesn't balance the horrific build-up. Want Sunderland to languish for infinity Couldn't care about Boro. Happy for them to come up. And likely go back down again.

Great post(s) thanks ponsaelius

Totally. Standards, lads. Really impressed with AG, his interviews and overall manner suggest a wise head. Impressive

Another one I forgot ! Like others, still not sure how I got out of Leicester alive. Awful trouble that game

Forgot that one. What a night.

I have total trust in King Edward getting the best out of him. Looks like he's on his way.

Best season: 83-84. Pure exhilaration Best match (non-win): QPR away 84-85. 5-5 draw. Best match (win): Sunderland 5-1 Best moment watching on TV: Bellamy goal away v Feyenoord Best away atmosphere: Liverpool away 3rd round FA Cup 1984 (lost 4-0, Keegan's Anfield return. Unreal support)

Can he finish? That's our most midfield lacking quality. We have legs, stamina, persistence and press. Need some composure. (Bruno aside)

Not forgetting a very agreeable goal difference

It's definitely a bit Carlsberg

Would like to know what he was whispering in Tielemans' ear at full time

He's a magnificent athlete. My MOTM too

Still got my Alan Shearer Testimonial scarf (pristine). Maybe I should wear that on Tuesday.

Nice one, thanks for this ?
