    Fancy doing this ourselves? I don't mind doing it I'm always up around midnight but someone will have to explain how to put up polls. or if a mod or someone else wants to do it then I don't mind. Could pass a lot of time discussing memories though the boring summer

    http://www.rokerreport.com/2013/6/2...r-of-the-last-ten-years-you-decide/in/4227249

    We decided to launch a little project this summer in that we allow you to decide the greatest Sunderland player of the last ten years. How the hell does this work? Well here we are to explain...

    Right then, the pressure is on you the great Roker Report-reading public to decide who is the greatest Sunderland player of the last ten years.

    Why did we choose the last ten years? Well initially it was to be "since the turn of the century" but factoring in a likely runaway victory for Kevin Phillips, Niall Quinn or Tommy Sorensen we chanced it to the last ten years -- so since the start of the 2003/04 season.

    And for the pedants we know SuperKev was with us for a short while at the start of that season, but we're looking at what they did for us from that season onwards. He didn't contribute.

    So, behind the scenes here we chose 32 players from the last ten years to go into the tournament. This was a bit of a challenge trying to find that many worthy candidates since 2003, and you can probably tell where the pickings got a little slim towards the 25-32 mark of compiling our entrants.

    Here's how it's going to work:

    We have created a bracket system, akin to say Wimbledon or the latter stages of the World Cup whereby you know who might face who in the next round.
    Each writer here has been dished out some players and will fight for them in each round in which they appear throughout.
    We will post a new match up each day. You only have one day to cast your vote before we move on to the next one.
    This will run for as many days as we need it to.
    The bracket was drawn at random. Each players name written down, folded up and put in a hat. When you see what some of them are, you'll know we didn't make this up at all!
    The voting is completely up to you, so whoever wins, wins. No complaints can be made as quite simply you should have voted for who you wanted to win. There'll be transparency throughout as you'll be able to see the vote counts for each player on each poll.

    We can catch up by starting with all the ones that have been done at midnight tonight. Are we up for it?

    A poll would have saved a lot of time and effort.

    Mignolet is the best player you have had in the last ten years and Henderson is the second best.

    It's a fanzine so I can imagine they're twiddling their thumbs waiting for news. I can't be arsed to type out all the names to put in a single pole, let alone draw them out of a hat and set up a round robin. Copy and paste is effortless though. :cool:
