Forgive my cynicism but off all the posters on here, it’s one who is believed to have a decent track record with inside information that sees Xhaka in Zurich this morning. Some odds that mind.

No doubt that we've signed a lot of 'prospects'. The issue I have with them is that we have A LOT of young lads on the pitch together who are in their first competitive season. When things go wrong, it's easy for young heads to drop. I'm all for blooding youth but there's an argument that on...

He is the manager of Strasbourg.

A new manager appointment is always important. However, I can't help feel that given our league position and our 4 years in this godforsaken league that this one is arguably the most important in the history of the club. I really hope it's not a 'yesterday's man' and one that can unite the fan...

Appreciate it's all about opinions but Hughton would last 5 minutes here. He plays a VERY negative style of football. Our fans wouldn't warm to that. He got chased out of Forest for it.

Get Liam Manning. Young, up and coming, has done a great job at MK Dons, plays football as it should be played.

I've got absolutely no issue with not signing JD on the proviso that another forward is signed. It would be absolute madness to go into the next 10 games having O'Brien and Benji as replacements if Stewart gets an injury. It doesn't even bear thinking about. I honestly think we'd struggle to...

If that’s true I will do a jig in delight whilst punching the air shouting ‘get down you black and white bastards’.

Only 1 year left on his contract. Wolves have a decision to make. Either work him into their first team set up or cash in on him this summer - obviously next summer he could leave for nowt. As much as I’d like to see him here, let’s not kid ourselves that armed with a couple of parachute...

‘Footballer in offer opinion about football for money shocker.’

Chess.com is a good place for online games.

It’s a case of the old terrace classic, ‘you’ve never won **** all’ which taken literally is a huge compliment to the opposition lauding their trophy cabinet.

Lad with no posting history makes post which 90% of the board take as fact. If I’ve learnt owt in countless years of inhabiting SAFC boards it’s that any statement starting with ‘apparently’ is inevitably total horseshite.

If nothing happens anytime soon and we lose 3 of the first 6 games which lets be honest, there’s every chance of happening given the opposition, I really do hope Donald and his cronies see exactly how non-blasé Sunderland fans are about the situation.

Thought there’d been an update there. Sadly not.
