Yeah? where's those settings? Is it a Sky HD box? If so, change the output resolution (in picture settings) to automatic and see if that works.

With loyalty points and all that. A mate is asking and I have no idea, and I'm also a nosey bastard who's always wondered how your system works. We get a LP for every game applied for, doesn't matter if it's successful or not not. These add up for 3 seasons, then on the 4th season, the last year gets knocked off the back, like a conveyor belt thing. One year advances, so the year at the back gets wiped off. Takes around 18 LP's to get you at seat at St James' which is pretty fair really. It works well. Is yours similar? If not, does it work so everyone gets a decent shot at tickets?

Aye, Hearts pre-season. This case isn't meant to be sorted until February '11 at the earliest. If the lads are proven innocent after all this time then they'll have been banned from the SOL for 2 seasons for no reason at all. Quite sad really how we can defend a player yet shaft the fans.

The ones that kicked and stamped on police dogs you mean? Nothing has been proven yet mate, seems to have been the longest case ever.

It's normally against us!

Supporting one of our players, innocent until proven guilty I guess. If it turns out true which I doubt, I'm sure Quinn will sack him anyway. Just our luck this, he's playing class then he's arrested under suspicion of rape, great. Shame we didn't take the same stance on the Central Station lads though, seems the rules are different for fans who haven't been proven guilty of anything.

Reckon he'll get sent down like? His trial is just before the derby I think so it would help, massively. He's a decent player but wont get you enough goals on his own, which is understandable. Luckily you have something we don't, which is goals from midfield so that helps.

Terrible communication from the goalkeeper (Mignolet) if anything, just a mix up. Then when the corner came in it was the goalkeepers fault again. You'd have to be extremely picky to blame that on Titus. Since that game Mignolet has came on leaps and bounds, looking like a top class prospect now, will be disappointed if Gordon walks back into the side after injury.

Hopefully not. We'll probably finish 11th, maybe 9th if we can sort the away form, although that's a massive if as we're absolutely dreadful away from home, the only time I've actually seen us play well away from home (personally) in the last few seasons was Man United away last season, the 2-2 draw. We are so cagey it's unreal, it's like watching a completely different side. Although I had you down are relegation certainties at the start of the season, I've got to say I've been canny shocked so far. Didn't expect you to sign Ben Arfa, he's a class above and will be a massive help. You've got a half decent side really, but no-one to score a goal and you're relying on goals from midfield, which you are getting so far tbf. I think 15th is probably a realistic finish for you. There are a few worse teams than you who'll go down instead, Wigan, Blackpool, West Brom look good bets so far, IMO of course.

Thankfully he's been solid so far, not a mistake in sight, Bruce seems to have been a revelation for the lad, under Bruce he's cut out most of his errors. Can only think of one major error in the last few years, when he went to clear it, missed the ball and they scored, at the D.W against Man City iirc.

Marina and the Diamonds. And aye, I am, he gets criticized quite a lot by Sunderland fans mind, as soon as we lose he's a Geordie bastard, yet when we win he's the man for us. A lot of fans have clearly got it in for him, you get the feeling that no matter what he does for us, he'll always have the same fans giving him stick. At times his substitutions and and formations are baffling, but on the whole he's been spot on. He'll take us to where we need to be, which is just a solid midtable side for the time being. 12th will do for us so long as we pick up a few away wins this season. Oh, and pics, didn't want to post on here as it's a fairly big image.

Hasn't been proved he's done anything yet. (and I don't think he has tbh) What's your view on him anyway, as a footballer, not a potential rapist? He's been outstanding for us so far, MOTM in every game for me. You just knew it was going too well.

Nah mate, not into that like, probably because I'm shit at it. We've had a few mags over on SAFC-World and they've been banned straight away for just being on a massive fishing trip, I hate it myself so not going to bother here.

Liverpool fan on that 'You're On Sky Sports' now, saying that Hodgson should go and he's ashamed to be a Liverpool fan.

Only thing that's made me laugh today.

Fair play mate, but I know a lot of people who seem to read the SMB and seem to take the general opinion of that, as the view of all SAFC fans, which is just not true at all. Thought I'd just clear any misconceptions up on here if anything happened to pop up. Anyway I'm not here to talk about us all the time, I'd rather hang around this part of the forum.

To get the 'other' side of things I guess.

Mackem in peace here. Registered the other day but thought tonight would be fitting to introduce myself after what has just happened! First of all I'd advise you all to ignore the opinion of 90% of the SMB PF board. They are not a fair representation of what Sunderland fans actually think, and are mainly just an embarrassment, any decent poster on there will tell you the same thing. There's more talk about NUFC there than here at the minute, and most of it is just a massive kneejerk reaction. Not here to start any petty arguments or owt, just for a bit of craic, and to see your view on things. So aye, hope to stick around.
