It's right it isn't his ****ing job. The **** should wind his neck in and **** off! Clarke wasn't even contender for motm, so why is it him he has picked out for his special praise? Sly ****! Also not like he is Alex Ferguson not like Clarke is going to suddenly believe in himself on his say so the daft ****!
Only 4th If KLD would open his chequebook we'd be top. KS has again gone for potential rather than proven players for this level, when is he going to realise that signing kids is no good if you want to win things. Or something like that
Canny interview in the Echo https://www.sunderlandecho.com/spor...rn-regis-le-bris-and-jack-clarke-form-4750281 Dennis Cirkin chats about Sunderland’s lightening start, life under Le Bris and his partnership with Clarke and Jobe…. “Buzzing,” Cirkin responded when asked how he was feeling following his successful return to fitness post-Cardiff City. “But when you score an assist it's always incredible. “But at the same time, I think there's eight or nine more minutes in the game where I have stuff to improve. I think it hasn't probably kicked in yet, the feeling, but it's always incredible, especially at home.” Cirkin appears to have grown in stature over the summer months with pre-season providing the perfect opportunity for the defender to cajole his body back to fitness ahead of the Championship campaign. Cirkin, however, made sure to take a good break in order to return fully refreshed. “I just got away from football and, you know, because of last year, like the repetitive injuries and being sidelined and trying to fight to get back on the pitch,” Cirkin said his his summer break. “So in the summer, I was just relaxed, very relaxed, yeah.” Asked about bulking up during the off-season, Cirkin responded: “I mean, if that's, yeah, if that's your opinion, I can't really say much. I think I have worked really hard to get to this position and it doesn't stop there. There's always parts of my game to improve. So, yeah, I mean, I agree with you, but I also think there's a lot to improve. “I think that's why the summer was important for me, to just get away from all of it and to just enjoy the football, because that's all you can do. So, yeah, I don't really think about it, I just think about the next games and how I can improve. So, it's all good.” “I think you can see the identity in our team and how we want to play,” Cirkin said. “That triangle between me, Jack and Jobe, you know, there's so many early doors, so we've still got a lot to work on, and me personally as well. I'm still learning under the new gaffer. So, yeah, we've still got a lot to learn. “I think we just understand each other a lot,” Cirkin said of Clarke. “And I think we've played so much together now, and that includes Jobe as well, that little triangle where we kind of know what we're going to do, and I think it's a pleasure to play behind them two.” Clarke has been the subject of intense transfer scrutiny for some time now with bids expected before the transfer deadline at the end of the month. Cirkin, however, can understand why having played with him so often. He added: “Everyone knows he’s one of our best players. He scores goals, he works. It’s a pleasure to play alongside him and the understanding we have is really good.” “It’s pleasing,” Cirkin said when asked about Sunderland’s contract management. “I’m pleased for the lads and it’s good to keep the squad together and keep the momentum going. The group spirit we have is amazing so I’m really happy they’re staying longer.” “He’s exactly what you see,” Cirkin said when asked about Le Bris. “He’s grounded, calm and it’s good to have someone like that. Tomorrow for example we’ll be in the training ground having a meeting in the morning about what we could have done better today. That’s kind of the philosophy: what’s happened has happened and we have to look to the next game. Clarity is so important. “I didn’t get as much time as I wanted to work with the managers last season so I can’t say too much but things happen. Every new season is a new start but at the same time, it’s the same group of players with new motivations and new goals. It’s a fresh start to really kick on.” And what about Sunderland’s aims for the season after their lightning-quick start? The Black Cats face a big test in Burnley this coming Saturday at the Stadium of Light. “At the moment we have to just look at each game as it comes,” Cirkin responded when asked about the club’s goals. “We can’t get too carried away. We’ve had two good performances but you never know what’s in store for the next game. You can’t look too far ahead, I just look to every game.”
I'll be hoping Sheff Wed beat Leeds on Friday, a game I'll be watching. It'll make our result look even better, will hurt Leeds and I don't believe Sheff Wed are a threat to us. Incidentally a mate messaged and told me to look at O'Nien when the ball goes to Mayenda for his first goal ... ... Clarke makes a run, to collect the pass, and O'Nien tells Mayenda to shoot. I didn't notice, at the time, but it's funny watching it back
Wow! Better than Todd? In pre-season last year I thought Rigg was our best player. Not quite old enough to have seen him, but I I've heard so much about Colin Todd over the years that to know that we have someone eclipsing him is scary!
Todd as you say grew into a legend Rigg will do the same imo ,at 17 he reminds me now of M'Villa in the way he creates space and time in midfield, really the sky is the limit for him as long as he keeps his focus. .And what a midfield we suddenly have, I am allowed to get carried away a bit now and again.
I don’t believe he’ll be here long enough for legend status. His potential is scary, the interest in him will be huge
If anyone thought the Mags were deluded they've been truly pushed aside by a new kid in town Don't bother with the whole video, it's twenty minutes of listing our goals, our misses and our other chances. But it's all just him building himself up, to the 21st to 25th minute, and it becomes a narrow defeat with glorious Rohlball being played and Sunderland a bit lucky with all the goals, the way we stopped them having any chances and the final result ... ... 'it's not really a hammering, it's just the price we pay for the way Danny wants us to play'. Not since Brendan Rodgers informed us how lucky we were to have witnessed his Swansea team, playing the football the whole country was talking about, has someone so thoroughly convinced themselves that black was white ... ... it's an absolute masterclass
By the look of him I think the neighbour he's moaning about, for power tool noise, ... ... is actually building a set of gallows paid for by Crowdfunding from everyone on the estate
I can't wait to see what this clownshoe has to say about their latest defeat and their place in the bottom three ... ... Danny isn't on a Rohl anymore is he What makes me laugh, with these self professed Vlog experts, is how they always blame how a game swings on 'individual errors', refereeing decisions or a few moments in the game. That's EVERY game you lunatics This is actually part of my Sunday afternoon entertainment, absolutely hilarious.
