    Forgetting about our summer signings for a moment, how proud should we be of the likes of Hume, Ballard, Isidor etc in how they are stepping up? Ballard to me looked like an unclimable mountain in the playoffs and doesn't look like anyone is getting over him this season either. Hume does not look out of place and let's be honest some very good wingers are not beating him and then Isidor just keeps on scoring and looking threatening

    They have never shown much class mind.

    Always an awful lot, made a lot worse by the entitlement brought on by the dodgy Russian money. Now they are just a weird club, more interested in player trading than building a team.

    They should sell half a dozen of their £30m players and go and find a Xhaka. They can't have ours, but someone like him would show them how a team operates.

    I'll tell you what, days like this are terrible for productivity. Just trying to tidy up after tea and I'm back on here and the internet every 5 minutes!

    Mentioned the badge on the shirt a few times. I genuinely wonder if the players are advised to watch Sunderland til I die.

    I've thought myself that we look like we have a few more gears.

    And there will be Rigg, and Eli and maybe Mundle, possibly others all to announce themselves to this league. A league who didn't know we were coming.

    A lot gets said, a bit flippantly often about a "brand new team". But last week 50% of our outfield starting line up were here last season, plus two of the subs.

    Let's not tell the talking heads eh?!
