So...

[...And Out Come the Wolve]

There was actually one point where some of us were wondering whether Tiote should really automatically get his place back because of how good Guthrie was playing.

It surprised us too. He's been solid. Not quite the same type of player as Tiote though unfortunately. With him on it's a bit like playing with Cabaye and Cabaye junior.

But thats the thing, being solid makes him neither lightyears ahead, nor crap like people from either side have been saying.

Well if you look on the last page, I refuted the idea that Guthrie was 'lightyears' ahead, because that's a load of BS.

However, on top form he would probably be mixing it up for a spot in the starting XI in your side, just like he would be with us if we didn't have Tiote. So he's neither lightyears ahead nor crap. I can only speak for my own views though.

Enjoyed reading this, good views from both sides with amsterdam roger trying his hardest to ruin it all as usual, grade A tosser who continues to taint the Sunderland board in a bad light.

Anyway I'm very hopeful that we can keep up our challenge for a Europa spot, the fact is when we've played well this season we have looked in a different league to most teams in the division and when we havent played well we've managed to grind out results anyway, which in my book is the sign of a team that's only getting better, I'm hoping for a couple of useful signings this month that will see us give it one big push to clinch that 6th spot, but I think 7-8th is probably the more realistic finishing spot.

Seen 2-3 of Sunderland's games since MON took over and been surprised at how different the team has looked, they now seem to want to fight for eachother much like our team has done this season, and theres noticeable difference in tactics used, definitely a lot more positive than with Bruce.

I agree with what a lot of the Sunderland lot say about needing a clinical goalscorer though, its a must if a top 10 finish is to be achieved, I always rated Bendtnder and was a bit jealous when you signed him but he looks pretty average indeed now hes had a good run of games. My prediction for you would be 8-10th with a new striker and around 9-12th without one

what a nack comes here with insults and thinks we give a **** about his team. wake up reality check, its not only us who dont care what you do, but with Ashley in charge it wont be long before you lot are giving it crocodile tears again
