wasn't Garry Bennett-who I thought the world of-once tried for tax evasion in Sunderland and also got off. Presumably enough jury voted the way I would have done if I'd been there

I would rather Sunderland turned out with ten men than play Januzzi.Ten men work for the team and for each other,knowing their jobs and doing them -When he plays we in effect have ten men,but as he is a minus quantity-sells his team mates short,the effect is like having 9 men on the field. Our...

No -couldnt win a game at all. Were as good as relegated early on then Adamson put in less experienced young guns and away we went with league winning form and results. Sadly just failed to stop up. Remember being at last two games both aways Norwich 2 goals down but equalising with a late...

Jimmy Adamson was trying to save us and putting some young lads into the team .My mate said his young lad wanted to go see Sunderland play so we took him .Had barely won a game but in about a week in three games he saw them slaughter West Brom ,west ham and Boro ??? by scores of 6--1, 6--0...

How does Mandron compare with Fletcher? Without really knowing anything about the young lad I would prefer to see him given a game than mr waste the chance Fletch

First match 15/9/56 versus Blackpool-won 5-2 ,looked date up on Google,last match Villa 29/8 2015 even got my ugly mush on to Sunderlnd Echo match report.Still cannot believe I don't look like Errol Flynn(any older readers remember him? but never mind A life of torture has followed -really need...

Sounds just like the job for Billy

Think I saw every home game he played,and several away.What a presence ! To add to the already written he often seemed to tackle his own team mate to get the ball off them to then smash the ball at the goal.His distribution out to the wings was great to watch-often seemed to hook the ball over...

Why do you recommend it ?

Emmerson Thome (spelling?) a Brazilian centre-half gave us good service for a short while

Talking of actors-what do you think of Jordan Henderson,'s acting ability in that advert. It's about the only advert i watch-his facial expressions make me amazed-when compared to the wooden no-ability usually on show in the progs my wife watches..That lad is a star.

I take it to mean that considering what DA took over and the way we played it was likely to be very difficult.Gus had reduced decent players to very poor collectively,and several individuals are not really that good in themselves.I thought for some time we were the poorest team in the EPL -lack...

Jim Baxter was finished when he came to Sunderland.Shipped out of Rangers after a broken leg. His first game I saw was the friendly against Celtic-we were slaughtered 0-5 and then the league started. Versus Sheff. Utd.He scored twice and was magnificent.I enthused to my old man who said that...

Is Jamie Rednap the boyfriend of Gus?He seemed in a particularly hostile mood re SAFC.What was up with him? There was effort and improved performances,individually,better teamwork and purpose and some real bad luck.Some OShea mistakes as usual,Defoe's bad miss,the most obvious and unpunished...

Seen enough of him to know he's worth a run out.Why didn't Poyet play him?-Why didn't Bruce/O'Neil try things obvious to many supporters when all was going wrong?Did they want out-job too big-beyond them-sacked with big contract pay-off? Sounds crazy ,but CVs don't count much--they nearly all...
