    Some good reasons for that:

    1). We're one of the most fouled against teams in the league, if not the most fouled. Can't remember the exact statistic.

    2). Tiote, however awesome he is, racks up yellows like hell.

    3). Nolan, similarly, gets quite a tally.

    In fact, combined, they have 20 yellows, which is almost a third of our entire team total. If you took theirs away, we'd have 49 yellows, a score of 53, and we'd be 9th. The rest of the team is generally good when it comes to fouls and yellows and reds. It's just those two and their hard tackling styles which screws up our position on the 'fair play' table.

    On another note, I'm amazed to see that West Brom and Arsenal have 6 reds each.

    Clattermole has plenty of fight in him. Two red cards speak for themselves. The rest of the team need a bit more at the minute though.

    I think old Perchy's record of a yellow card per game hasnt helped either. We can accept Nolan and Tiote because they at least offer the team a lot in exchange for a lot of bookings.

    That Fair Play table is biased as we've got Joey Barton in the squad.

    Rio Ferdinand will be punished by the FA for his reaction to Balotellis wink and Joey Barton will begin a 3 match ban immediately.

    With those attendances i don't see why some billionaire wouldn't want to buy us. As people have said we have the foundations to be a massive club around the world. Loyal fans, stadium, history and unlike the mackems we get big ticket sales. Something seems to put off people from buying us, either it's being so close to Sunderland it scares them away, or were so far up north and they want to be closer to London, i don't know. We have the 3rd highest attendance figure's in the league this season and didn't we have the 4th highest in England when we were in the Championship?

    I'm surprised Ashley hasn't thought about extending SJP,(apart from the obvious cost) I think we'd easily fill 60-70K seater no probs.

    I posted about this last week. I'm suprised no one sees its potential.

    No he's not I agree. You should be proud to have Mr Milliband on the board, I'm sure he's brought a lot to the club.

    A pair of very large ears to start with. Clearly going for the Mickey Mouse image...

    Looks like he's continued with his losing mentality to me, Sunderland haven't won since he joined <whistle>
