No not the nighlife but the football club. They have had to cancel a pre season tour because they only have 10 players. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/fo...pre-season-trip-La-Manga-player-shortage.html
Sunderland could've still been at Roker Park, in the lower leagues and struggling for players. We're in a great modern stadium, in our 7/8th Premier League season and signing internationals. It's not as bad as some people love to think.
This is something that makes me wonder - they spent a season in the premier league and reaped some financial benefit from that - they didn't spend excessive amounts on players - a bit like our "ou est" thread - where is it going?
When we played them at Old Trafford in their last PL game, we won the title for the 19th time. The game never really meant anything to us but a win meant survival for them, I was desperate for us to win that game because of how much I detested Ian 'breath of fresh air' Holloway. We beat them 4-2 and sent them down. It's amazing how much you can dislike a football club because of one idiot, I wonder if our players would have went easy on them had a former United player been their manager instead of that boring, silly little man, they may have got the win and pushed on from there.
Spot on. You just need to look at clubs like Blackburn, Coventry, Leeds and Portsmouth and then think how lucky we are.
Me too mate, from the moment he was first spouting his humourless ****e. His kids are supposed to be deaf, I think they're just pretending! Why do people have to have these 'breath of fresh air' ****ers like 'Ollie', Jimmy ****ing Bullard and the like? They never win owt and always end up acting up to their media 'image' ...........
It was every time he won he wore his "I told you so" face to the cameras. "Everybody said we'd only get 5 points, it's only little Blackpool, they'll be down before Christmas, we're still 'ere"... FFS, I wonder if he walked in at Palace and said "Nobody said I'd get Blackpool promoted". People saying he was a breath of fresh air, just what the Premier League needed was pathetic, if a national sport is improved by introducing a clown to the ranks then something's seriously wrong.
There's a rumour that Bruce thought that FA Cup was in the bag at half time so he made them all have a celebratory sausage roll at half time with him, he emerged from the tunnel 5 minutes after the players because he was going round picking up all the leftovers and putting them into his pocket for later.
