    It's gone upmarket from that picture in 2004. Have a look at Mangaweka International Airport on google.

    Reigning Player of the Year Seb Larsson’s miserable campaign has already prompted speculation over a summer exit from the Stadium of Light.

    A knee injury sidelined Larsson for three months during the winter, yet the Swedish international has not been considered a starter by either Dick Advocaat or Sam Allardyce, with only one substitute outing since he returned to full fitness in February.

    Larsson’s agent admitted last weekend that the 30-year-old is almost certain to leave Sunderland if they are relegated to the Championship, when he will only have 12 months remaining on his Black Cats contract.

    There has to be a strong possibility that Larsson’s five-year stint at the club will reach a conclusion, regardless of which division Sunderland are in.



    Sunderland boss Sam Allardyce was asked about whether Larsson was in his thoughts for a recall to the starting XI, but the implication was that the ex-Arsenal man is likely to remain on the fringes.

    “Seb’s been out injured for such a long period of time and the team has been performing so well,” said Allardyce.

    “I’ve changed (Jack) Rodwell and (Lee) Cattermole around, because Catts came in and really did as well as he has since I’ve been here.

    “He had the ultimate kick up the backside where he saw that his position wasn’t quite as safe as he thought it was.

    “That’s always a good motivator for the player when he gets left out and he’s responded well to that.

    “For me, it’s about whoever we pick being as good as we know they can be on the day.

    “And if they can’t, then they can’t blame anybody else!”

    Watmore could be our saviour today - in the Norwich debacle at the SOL we were really walked all over until DW came on during 2nd half - they could not cope with his energy levels - we need to stop them using the spaces on the pitch to overwhelm us today - retain the ball and give th problems - if fit DW to start for me -they'll be worried about him imo

    What's the crack with these clapper things? Does it give a better atmosphere or something? If it does we could do with some at the sol as the atmosphere in there has been poor this season IMO!

    Why does Allardyce seem so set on playing Defoe in the lone striker role?
    It doesn't play to his strengths and highlights his weaknesses.

    I don't think that he'd function that well with Borini as a partner, but either N'Doye or even Toivenen would give him something to work with.
    Your wingers haven't been on great form and have left the fullbacks exposed a lot, when I've watched you.
    Perhaps wingbacks could work?
    Mannone
    Kaboul, Kirchhoff, Kone
    Yedlin, Cattermole, M'Vila, van Aanholt
    Khazri
    Defoe N'Doye
    Probably a **** idea, but good luck anyway! <laugh>
