It is indeed. They should have done the pic in front of a Sunderland landmark though. It sends out the wrong message imho.
QWOP/Albert are you both a little concerned about the lack of activity in the transfer market or do you think there will be a late flurry next month? We didn't get our signings in till late under MoN last summer and he struggled to get it all together, although Fletcher did hit the ground galloping in fairness? I don't necessarily believe its better to get them early or late but much more importantly to get the right ones rather than early poor ones (not that I think thats what we have done). Do you think Uncle Joe is just biding his time and has a few aces up his sleeve, or do you think you're knackered and just trying to put a brave face on it? Whats the consensus of fans opinions up at NE1?
