I remember about 15 years ago we went over 2 years without even getting a penalty!

My worry about penalties is that we've scored something like 28 in a row (competitive match penalties - not including shoot-outs) which is (I believe) a world record - we're due to miss one soon surely!!

That's an incredible stat really.

Wanna take one of our players on loan We've been spoilt over the years with Le Tiss, Beattie, Lambert etc. so think are paying for it now!

It was 23 up to the 5th November last year! Don;t think we've had 5 since then but still around 25 penalties in a row!

He is so much more than a target man mate, umderstably people have alwats seen him that way but he's a very good footballer too

I always remember RL as a potent goal machine when at Soton but seemed to lose his way at Liverpool - hopwfully at Sunderland he would become a Niall Quinnesque cult figure (Quinn was crocked wnen he first came but .....say no more) and lead us onwards alongside our young guns.
I really hope this developes into a signing with Macmanaman and McGeady on the wings, Williams(not played much before he came here) buzzing about in the middle and Cats and O'Shea adding experience and leadership - we'll be a solid championship unit imo
SG could use our youngsters to fill the team. But I'm afraid N'Dong and Kone should not be used - their hearts not in it and they distriput on field unity. Rodwell is just lacking confidence and prescence imo and needs loaned out.
That's my views - others will dispute me but please - be positive.
