Started well there Rodger then came out with a MOTD comment that only a fooligan would expect to happen!!!!

If MoN wanted to bring him back I would bow to his judgement just as I would if he decided to raid Villa and bring Bent back. MoN is the only person whose opinion matters at the moment and I am happy for that to continue.

I find Samba to be a bit of a one trick pony that is, if you play to his strength in the air he will head them away all day but he has the turning ability of a supertanker and anyone running straight at him causes him problems. His size and heading ability bring him to everyones attention but...

Nuggsy will always be remembered for his relationsip with the fans. Anyone who was at Luton that day knows what I mean. Oh by the way 'I was there when Nuggsy scored'

Gutted to hear of Goerges passing, we had the best of both worlds with him in Portugal a couple of years ago, watching Sunderland and then in the bar watching Durham get to the 20 20 final. Top man, generous with his company. RIP George from me and the lad.

Seem to remember Johnson scoring a 96th minute equaliser into top corner of our net, you one of those that leaves early?

Surely the clue as to whether Webb was sure it was a penalty, was in the time he took to give it. He was obviously unsure and as the Northern League ref I was sat beside at the match said 'He took his time to give it, in that case he had doubt and should not have given it'. He gave it on a hunch...

Sid- if it's true that we can get 2-3 quality players in for the 20m then I wonder why Liverpool have'nt done just that!!!!

It's not the player I object to it is the whole ethos of being a selling club lacking in ambition. I want players at Sunderland who are good enough to play for the top teams not players that the top teams are finished with. After 40+ years following Sunderland through thin and thinner I don't...

So there it is, it seems that Henderson is off to Liverpool. That tells me all I need to know about Niall Quinn and Ellis Short. They are content to run a selling club. Despite all Niall's promises and invites onto magic carpet rides we still have to sell our top talent to teams who you know...

The reported fee is matterless as it goes to the owner. Doubt he will re-invest much, if any, of it on players. The wheel or the dice perhaps!!!!

DMS- I will change the pic on a regular basis with other shots of shields just in case you get home sick. Loads of good lads on here as well as the WUMS and to be fair some of the skunks can engage in decent banter from time to time.

The silence is deafening.... and I love it.

DMS- Just set up on here having migrated across from 606. Yes it's the mill on cleadon hills taken in the snow last year. I live not far from here and enjoy the view over Sunderland, SoL and AoL from the 'mill. Nice to see so many of the 'old faces' have moved over with syd keeping us all in...

Everytime my son gets himself annoyed when the Mags are taking the urine out of us I simply say 'what goes around comes around'. I have seen so many instances of crowing from both sides backfiring in a short time that I have developed the 'wisdom of age' and when I feel brassed off about...
