Apparently they went for Fellaini and Januzai, and came back with Love and McNair. All is not well in the garden of mackem.
Over the years, Short has probably done them for more that what Ashley has done us. He's just gone about it in a quiet and more sneakily way.. Robbery by stealth, and most of them couldn't see it.
Cup final appearance. Several consecutive years in the Premier League. Must be as good as any Sunderland owner for a long time.
Underwhelming when the fans need the boost of a quality signing to settle the fears. Not saying they're bad signings, just not great. Our tiny tiny squad could do with the number though.
Can I just say that this match thread is a lot better than ACS usual efforts. I fancy us to get a win here - after all aren't they a Rugby League team? Might be a bit rough though so maybe not one for Anita and definitely not de Jong (unless we are after the insurance money).
But what would happen when we get relegated and sell all our best players? Especially as the musli hasn't worked!
I'm going for 4-0. I'm basically going for 4-0 in every game until/when/if we finally get a 4-0 win. Then I'll need to think of a new score.
