Unbelievable Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 That said, the addition of another two or three fresh faces could entirely change the complexion of a unit already boasting the old fashioned left-wing skills of James McClean, the set-piece accuracy of Sebastian Larsson, the left-footed midfield promise of Jack Colback, the bite of Lee Cattermole and the stellar goalkeeping of Simon Mignolet. Further forward, the arrival of a robust Fletcher-type figure to play off might permit the young striker Ryan Noble to prove to his manager that an unerring goalscoring knack (and the locally born Noble has been prolific at reserve level) can more than compensate for an apparently frail physique.

Here's another nugget: Both can only be increased by the knowledge that thanks to this summer's overseas initiatives, budding Mackems everywhere from Dakar to Dar es Salaam, and Seoul to Sierra Leone, will be tuning in to this season's Tyne-Wear derbies.

taxfree Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 http://www.worldsoccerbars.com/english-premier-league/ten-reasons-why-sunderland-will-be-better-in-2012-13-than-last-season 1. Rock Solid Defence O’Neill has a reputation of producing very organised, difficult to beat teams, and last season was no exception. Sunderland conceded the fewest goals of any side in the bottom half of the Premier League, also conceding less than Newcastle and Arsenal, and the same number of Chelsea. Evidently little is wrong with the back four, and O’ Neill has added Carlos Cuellar to the squad, who previously played under the Irishman at Aston Villa. 2. Sunderland Would Have Finished Higher But They Lost Motivation Sunderland went from teetering on the abyss of relegation to the top eight in the Premier League in seemingly no time at all. With no threat of relegation, and no prospect of European football, the final handful of fixtures that the Black Cats were required to fulfil had little meaning for them, and it was hardly surprising that their form tailed off. Their final league position reflected this as much as the quality of their team. 3. Classy Midfield There are many teams in the Premier League who would like to be able to call upon Sessegnon, Larsson and McClean. Not only have Sunderland held on to these players, but they also have an assemblage of more dowdy midfield ballwinners to accompany them. 4. No Dead Wood José Mourinho has always stated that he likes to work with relatively compact squads. Sunderland currently have a first-team squad of 21 players – which will surely become 22 once they sign a striker – but every one of them is pushing for a place in the first team. This is a healthier situation than having a larger squad with a complement of players who know they’re unlikely to feature in the first eleven. 5. Genuine Competition for Places Sunderland have few stars, but a lot of high quality players, and have genuine competition for places all over the field. Even up front where they are decidedly light, if O’ Neill can find a replacement for the departed Bendtner, then the Black Cats have Frasier Campbell, Connor Wickham and Ji Dong-Won in reserve, with Sessegnon and McClean capable of playing as support strikers.

Wisdom Body Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 That piece reminds of one of those exam questions you get, "Describe 10 causes of depression in crustaceans." You can barely think of 1 but have to write something, so you're stretching credibility by no. 3, transcribing dreams by no. 5, putting random words together by no. 7 and basically doodling by no. 10: "O'Neill's teams are always successful."
