    Makes you wonder what he's got between his ears doesn't it. A glowing example of the intellect from down the road.

    As ever, a retort heavy on intellect and the spacebar.

    Good to see after seeing you on 606 nearly four years ago, that you are still acting like a 2 year old. You are nothing but a craas idiot who gives the decent Sunderland lads on here (they know who they are).

    I never thought I'd see anything sadder than a SMB but you are it - a SMB with an unhealthy interest in octogenarians :cheesy:

    I only remember being struck by O'Neill's success when he was at Leicester, as I don't follow Scottish football. Since then he's hardly set the world on fire. A respectable, yet somewhat overrated, manager in my eyes.

    Anyone else get the feeling if we had just appointed Mourinho and given him £200m to spend he would have still just been an overrated pile of ****e as well?

    I'd like to personally thank barcode knobs like you for making today even more pleasurable than it already was by your petty and bitter jibes about a universally recognised football manager just because he is ours now.

    If he had become your manager I'd have been gutted and very envious and would have happily said as much. Tha fact that so many are havig a go at him tells me everything I need to know about how you really feel.

    Gutted.

    Just because you rate him doesn't mean everybody else needs to as well <ok>. Your strange logic is to simply presume that because some people don't share your opinion of him it means that they are bitter?

    Having a go at bitter mags again are you. Bit rich coming from the guy who claimed to quit after a couple of Sunderland defeats, only to crawl back when everything had calmed down.

    No, not really but it does show how bothered your lot are to open specific threads to try and put him down. If you didnt rate him or think anything about him then why bother?

    The bitterness your lot have oozed out todaty has been all the sweeter for Sunderland fans to be fair though, so please keep them coming.

    Been a goooooooood day. Lol

    Do you pracice at being a cock or is it a natural thing. I'd guess natural?

    I know I said you were now one of my little barcode bitches but you really have to let others have ago as well. Just sit in your room and play with yourself till your master shouts for you in future.

    Okay?

    He's a good manager and to be honest he's just what they need.

    Let us sum up. At Villa, he spent a proportionally high amount of money on players to maintain success and when the money ran out (and he was forced to sell Barry) thus did Villa crumble. They had their one shot at a top 4 finish and (unfortunately) failed to get it. Now we have Man City.
    He then walked out on them at the start of the season, specifically because the owner refused to give him any more money.
    He also plays long ball football.

    However, he does, as you say, have a proven track record of success and I suspect the derby games will be very interesting now, if nothing else. We just feel it is our duty to play devil's advocate.

    I don't feel bitter at all, why would any of us feel bitter when we have a good manager who is doing a very good job with us so far? The post you quoted by 'Alain Pardeaux' wasn't insulting or filled with bitterness at all, he even said O'Neill was a respectable manager who he just found somewhat overrated.

    My opinion is that O'Neill is a huge step up from Bruce, and I'll admit, in terms of rivalry, I do wish you had gotten somebody worse than him because he has the ability to get good performances out of your team. But I didn't want him at Newcastle last year before Pardew came and I wouldn't want him now either.

    I'm pretty sure that there's a world of difference between Jose Mourinho and Martin O'Neill.

    Plus I'm far from bitter, I'm really happy with the job Agent Bruce did for you, and am also enjoying the unity Pardew has managed to improve on in our squad since he took over, as well as our current flirtation with a CL spot. If that's "bitter" then I want to feel it 24/7.
