Yeah ours are passionless sad bunch of bastard who only give a **** about there pay packet not the team, ****ing ****s.
Just coz you had a fallout on here the other week bonny lad, doesn't mean you have to agree with every post.
I don't agree with everything LOL I have my own views just saying I do agree with what you have to say mate.
Was i the only one shouting "pass you greedy bastard". The little fella sharp shut me up tho, cracking goal.
I was saying that as well, Southgate even said after the match that they were all shouting it. Great work, great tekkers and a great finish, followed by a brilliant celebration!
The Welbeck/Ghana comments are interesting because I am from southern Ireland. A newcomer to SAFC, like. I have been a gloryhunter for almost 40 years. Only started following in 73 because Porterfield shut the **** up of a classmate who was a stupidly fanatical Leeds fan. ââ¬ÅSome say God, we say Revieââ¬Â and all that ****e. Day in day out for months up until 5/05/73. Never mind Johnny Giles. Us kids never liked Giles anyhow. My class LOVED Sunderland after that day. Fast forward 15 years to 1986. Some of the players that Jackie Charlton used for ROI back then 1986-1994: Packie Bonner, Paul McGrath, David O'Leary (Charlton did not like him), Denis Irwin, Tony Galvin, Chris Hughton, Liam Brady, Ronnie Whelan, Ray Houghton, Mark Lawrenson, Frank Stapleton, Robbie Keane, Tony Cascarino, John Aldridge, Niall Quinn (I bet some younger readers did not realise that some of them played for Ireland) Good interview - Quinny and others from WC 1990 Point is that some of the players that Charlton enrolled for Ireland were considered as potential fringe players at best for the England team. On the other hand, Danny Welbeck is a star player and will be a Big Name England player. I empathise with Ghana people but I think this was inevitable. Ghana never had a chance in hell of capturing him. Frank Stapleton / Danny Welbeck? Loved big Frank but he would never have worn an England shirt. Ghana can never hope to sign anything other than fringe England players. Just a fact of life.
Alright chaps, was out all night so recorded the game and just finished watching it 5minutes ago I wanted Ghana to win from the start and they thoroughly impressed me. From a Sunderland point of view Mensah looked good at the back showed no sign of any injuries, Muntari I thought looked more effective in an advanced wide left role rather than the holding role he plays for us and Gyan what a player we have at the SoL 13m for that well done Brucie. Worked his socks off never gave up and showed some moments of magic. Could of had a couple of goals and he certainly connected with that shot from the halfway line but the goal was world class!!!! How he done that I do not know as for the other players Vorsah a former safc target I might add is a human tank and that Jonathan Mensah who is still a kid also looked good alongside our own John Mensah at the back wouldn't mind one of them two if we ever needed a new centre back. Annan who I rate highly was quiet tonight but his replacement Boeteng got involved in the game. Adiyiah also seemed a canny player and I know that Prince Tagoe mush is usually a starter but we didn't get to see much of him tonight along with Marseille regular Andre Ayew. People should not take Ghana lightly now IMO they are in the top 10teams in the World and they still have Essien and Kevin Prince-Boeteng to come back two class players for them, you dont play for Chelsea and Milan if you are no good and they are all early 20's they are only going to improve, might stick a 5er on them winning the next ACN
I think Welbeck is to Ghana what Bardo is to Scotland. Did I see it right, was that Capello laughing and looking happy?
Yes. I too was on my feet, fists in the air, when Gyan's shot hit the back of the net. First time ever for me too, greeting an opponent's goal with sheer joy. But what a match. Just before the World Cup in Japan, England played Argentina here in Geneva and won 3-2 (Owen scoring twice in the last five minutes to turn it around) and that was probably the highest quality friendly I've ever seen but last night's was perhaps the best friendly "match" I've seen in that both teams went hell for leather, no holds barred, with open football, perfectly "matched". Great show. And four Sunderland men on the park. We're starting to leave our mark around the world. Next step is for the team itself to get there and do it but everything in its own time. Perhaps next step Man City? Last night's match has certainly helped me get over the Liverpool fiasco. (Thought Carroll was very good too. And surely Downing wasn't man of the match!? Apparently it has to be an English player because of the sponsors? In all objectivity (yeah, sure), how can anyone other than Gyan be named MOTM?
According to Fifa rankings they're 16th and England are 6th - erm, Uruguay are 7th - is this the team Ghana totally outclassed in the quarter finals of the World Cup Fifa? By rights they should have been semi-finalists and they could have easily taken out Holland for a place in the final - at the least, they would have given them a much tougher game. As you say they were without Essien (as they were in the wc) - I can't give any credit to people yesterday commenting that it's 'only Ghana' stating they did not think they were a quality side; very naiive indeed, people should never under-estimate Africa's best team.
Gyan's lucky Darren Bent wasn't playing against him last night because i am sure he would have scored a better goal.
back to the OP: "Originally Posted by I Sit Next To A Badger-Leazes Corner View Post What a goal! What a ****ing goal!" And top doggie marks to you sir, coming over from the 'other side' to say this. Surely right up there with the top 10 this season.
