    Thing about Flash is I just have a gut feeling he won't be ours much longer.

    Good goalies are at a premium and Manure/ Scouse/ Gooners could all do with one.

    Think come Jan he will be away if the money is right (for us) and he can go with blessings cos of our strength in depth.

    The sooner Gordon is back the better, he is our number 1 but still happy with Ming for the short term. He will get better the more he plays but Gordon is a notch above at the moment. Have not seen Westwood play much but he was voted best in the Championship so must be decent, don't think the difference in league is as big for keepers, a shot is shot, a cross is a cross. Its their handling, positioning, confidence which is important.

    Its all part of my cunning plan :) If people keep getting lots of "yawns" for negative posts, the penny will hopefully drop and positivity will abound! Then, when the players and management read these posts, they will go to work the next day feeling much better in themselves, and subsequently take these positive vibes into a matchday and turn in some exquisitely positive performances, resulting in Sunderland challenging for the premier league title <ok>

    Ah! but Ah! But!
    If they read only positive things when they have been ****, they will think they don't need to pull their finger out. :p
    I'm still hoping to see us top four before I die. <ok> :):):)

    Gordon being shipped out is just sure to happen. I'll be amazed if he's still a Sunderland player next season.

    SAFCCrew - are you sure pal?
    Mignolet has been fantastic this season. I was right behind our goal in the last game v Swansea and he pulled off a fantastic reaction save. His distribution is superb and he does seem to organise the back four when need. That's not to say that he is a 'billy big bollox' keeper like Hart is or Schmeichel was - barking out orders overy 5 seconds just for the sheer hell of it. Mignolet is a quiet bloke just like Gordon.

    How can people be calling for Westwood? He's only been with us 5 seconds. I was shocked to see him and without being sizeist (I'm short myself) I was amazed to see that Westwood is only around 5ft 9ins. I'm not sure what would happen if he is in goals v Stoke and their giant team? I watched Westwood closely v Brighton and he looks like he is a real bubbly character and confident lad. I can't see Mignolet being displaced this season though.

    My opinion on mig is to nickname him Dracula st Mary. He likes coming for crosses but seems to get caught by them and this costs the team. Penalty incident and the goal against the mags were both his fault. Better keeper wouldn't have made those mistakes imo. Couple of years maybe but don't think he's ready. Westwood is a good keeper. Better than mig (imo) although CG is definitely 1st choice for me

    Ellis. Westwood (according to safc.com) is 188cm (about 6' 3". Bit bigger than 5' 9" mate.
    Mig may have made some great saves but his mistakes are too costly imo. All about opinions mate
