    Jack Clarke <laugh> , seriously mate the only wide men of quality we have had since McGeady have been Mundle Clarke and Watson, and they all played wide left , we have been and still are so unbalanced out wide its ridiculous. Two top class wide men and we would be mid table certs, we have not been as close since the Cheer up Peter Ried days.,

    I think 352 is the best formation for us to play against Chelsea next week, and any of the other big clubs when we play them.

    .......................Roef.............
    ............Muki...Ballard...Alderete....
    Hume.....Sadiki....Xhaka....Enzo..Reinildo
    ...............Mayenda.....Isidor............

    That would be my preferred team and i think it would give most teams a run for their money.

    I remember when they all "protested" because of Mr Walkers. No commentary, not studio rubbish, just highlights. Worked perfectly.

    First it was you’ll not win a game, then it was only west ham, and now it’s you’ve played all the easy games. Make your minds up :emoticon-0102-bigsm I’m just enjoying the ride

    I love the "you have only beat teams at the bottom of the table".

    8 games in...of course we have you daft buggers, we put them there by beating them <doh>

    Well that was a thoroughly enjoyable day! Feeling rough as this morning as stayed out well into the night celebrating! I never felt any nerves or apprehension during the game. Felt we had it well under control. Nordi was clearly MOTM for me. Fantastic performance and to top it off with his first goal was the icing on the cake. Shame about Wilson’s disallowed goal - what a cracking finish!

    He should have had a couple of goals now but I really like him, particularly his work rate, pity that Ballard just couldn’t get a touch on the cross late on, it was an absolute gem.

    Shame Isidor's fantastic finish was just offside.

    Shame the run from Talbi wasn't finished by a Sunderland player.

    Shame Mukiele's shot didn't fly in off the bar.

    But it's three precious points and more proof that RLB really knows what he's doing.

    What is even funnier, is when they’re asked and that’s pointed out it’s because we’ve had the “easiest start any team has ever been gifted in the premier league”

    despite having games against 3 European competition teams. And getting points from all of them!

    And don't forget we also finished behind Sheff Utd, Leeds and Burnley ...

    ... to come up as easily third best team makes our start remarkable.

    I bet not many of the younger fans know we had Semenyo on loan about 8 years ago and we hardlys played him
