Definately getting the buzz now. Always loved the cup, shame I wasn't born until 2 months after we last won it. My favourite memory is Gordon Armstrongs magnificent header in the 92 QF against Chelsea, i went mental for about 10 minutes !!

Probably the best choice with his experience with the younger players. Normally I'm not too interested in the olympics, apart from the 100 metres, looking forward to this tournament though. I don't think it's the same with most of my Scottish friends though !!

I'm guessing good old saggy chops. Imagine the clamour in the press if he did well for him to get the England job !!

Looking at it through red and white tinted glasses i'd like to see Cattermole along side Wilshire, could be a good pairing. Not likely though as he doesn't play for a ' fashionable ' team. Anyone know who the manager is going to be ?

But for less than half we paid for him after a decent first season .... would be total madness. Now if he was to go for nearer £20m and we get two top class strikers in then I wouldn't be too sad.

Laing might well get a fair bit of game time with our injury jinx. Could be the making of him.

This !! The things some people will believe.

I've always liked Anton, always gives it 100% even if he is prone to the odd lapse. If this move allows us to bring in the 2 or 3 players we all know we need then it's worth doing. We'll all know in the next 24 hours .. not much work will be done in my office tomorrow !!

Gutted as I won't be there to see it as I'll be flying home from Majorca. I'm just hoping that the texts I get once off the plane are from SAFC supporting friends and not those from the dark side. I'm still annoyed that we're playing Hibs, 45 minutes from me, the weekend I'm at a stag do in...

You can just see the headlines now ... 'Sess-y football destroys Magpies'.

Good post Syd. Sums up the work involved in bringing 'next level' players to the SoL. As for the hard graft, we've always loved a hard tackler at Sunderland but I loved some of the sexy, flowing football we played last season.

Do you think we'll come back from Germany with a top drawer striker? We came back from Amsterdam with Cana so there is form.

I think you're right but wouldn't it be great !!

He's doing his best to kill me, all this stress can't be doing my blood pressure much good !!

With the 'banter' between us Sunderland fans and those from the dark side kicking off again in the last few weeks it's got me thinking that at least we'll never go to the extremes that the Auld Firm go to. It's unbelievable that parcel bombs have been sent to Neil Lennon, a Celtic supporting MP...
