Oh Fist. Brilliant.

He's like Neo in the Matrix, pulling off ninja moves without breaking a sweat. We always hoped he'd be The One.

That means he only has to get 3 more goals the entire season. I'd be disappointed if that was the case. Thats 3 goals in 28 games. Still, I'd wager that Sunderlands midfield doesnt get more than 3 in that time.

They should put a big screen up at St James's like the old days.

Shola's the Hulk, seeing Mackems get's him angry. To Michael Turder : "You wont like me when im angry"

On SMB under the title "Are you getting grief at work?" thread:

Heee'sssssssss a wrecccccccccccccckkkkkkkkking machinnnnnnnnnnnnnne.

65 goals in 165 starts for the toon. Not horrific.

Isnt he 29 ??

If that was in the middle of the pitch it would have been close to a red card. Absolutely abysmal tackle. Wild.

Well, he can only play with the limited players they have. No point in going kamikaze.

If he keeps playing like this (and stays out of trouble) then an England call up cant be too far away.

I haven't had a hero for years (Last one was probably Bellamy) mainly because apathy had set in and they players I looked upto were removed from reality. Oh and Im 30 as well ! However, this bunch of players are really likable and I'm finding I have a new heroes emerging once again. Carroll, Colo, Ricky and I even like Willo amongst others.

Stick to the Toon stevie as your England WC predictions were abysmal !

i'd actually been one of Sholas fans and stuck by him years more than I should have. If he could do that week in, week out he'd be phenomenal. However, that is his main problem.

I always thought he was a good manager. I was young back then though and thought Colin Hendry and Ally McCoist were ace. I was at Uni in that period and my lecturer was Scottish. He always used to moan in lectures about him. I could never understand it.

Its funny how you look back on managers and see different things to people that actually live there. Craig Brown was a brilliant manager for Scotland and massively over achieved for them. The Jocks didnt really rate him though.

We should pick a team that will get a result. Im worried about our high line and Theo Walcott's pace.

i wouldn't be too surprised if he reverted to 4-5-1 for that but would be nice to see him stick to the winning side. you have to wonder whether this 4-4-2 will be strong enough to mix it with the top sides but on this form, we should stick with it against the rest. tiote is the player that makes it work. you need a defensive midfielder of his class to get away with playing one fewer int he middle of the park than most teams put out these days. 4-4-2 away at Arsenal will be a brave move. But you cant really drop Shola or Carroll at the moment.

I dont understand where all this speculation is coming from.

7th place after 25% of the season. Brilliant work.

The fat cunt built his team around him.

Yeah, I have nothing against Blackburn. I cant stop staring at his head though. Its like the size of a box of crisps.
