I remember when we beat Newcastle 2-0 at VP in one of his first games and we had about 30% possession.  The analysis was this was nothing to worry about as we won and we will do more with the ball.  It is a very dangerous game to play, however, and running around chasing the ball for 90 mins means we did run out of steam by the time his fabled month of March came round.

 

I've probably made it sound simplistic but I'm sure you get my drift.

 

He's a lazy manager and at 60 he's not going to change his style now.

 

For anyone who can be bothered look at Sunderland and he's doing exactly the same things up there as he was doing here.

 

Craig Gardner has played most of this season at right back, Jack Coleback (a midfielder) played last night at left back.

 

Just like here he moved a hardworking right sided midfielder into the centre like Milner here, he's done the same with Seb Larrson there although I don't expect Man. City to come in with a 20m bid anytime soon.

 

Sunderland have 6 draws from 8 this season so seems fairly obvious to me they struggle to break down sides which was a familiar problem here usually at VP. And they've let in a few late goals this season when sitting back again on a 1-0 lead which again used to happen to us too often.

 

Basically they're a poorer version of what we were and luckily for them Ellis Short seems to have a tighter reign on the pursestrings. They'll be mid table which will probably please most of their fans as I doubt there's any great expectation of top 6.

 

Interesting point made earlier, I think MON does know we were his big opportunity to break into the elite managers section and get someone like Man. United interested and he knows it.

 

I too can see him going from Sunderland at the end of the season, really can't see that being a long term job for him and at his age it could be his last job.

"But Reid, who has been under pressure to sign a strike partner for Kevin Phillips, has missed out on Ajax forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

 

The 20-year-old Swedish star has decided to stay with the Dutch side despite attracting interest from another Premiership club.

 

"I plan to stay at Ajax and compete for a place, even though I know Sunderland and one other English club are in for me," he said. "

 

Sunderland tried to sign Ibrahimovic  :spit:

I love that uncomfortable silence that descends on them when no players are visible.  Nee crack other than shouting at the other team.  Proper pantomime stuff, the fucking children that they are :lol:

The ultimate troll. Well in Raylor! :laugh:

 

The mackems' remarks at Colo and Jonas - "GET A f***ing HAIRCUT!" :lol:

 

That welcome was tame when compared to the one they get when they come to our ground.  The noise at our place is deafening.
