Yeah good thanks, you??
Youll have to let me know which month you are free for a catchup.?

I will, need to get this op out of the way first. In agony everyday & lot of other stuff which is crippling looking after Lollie & Ella 24/7. Feel my age now, never ever thought I'd say that..

Youll be fighting fit and feeling 30 again after your Op!
 
It's not Graham's fault.

You can't fault the lad for taking the £££ that was offered to him

The problem was oneil. He was plain stupid in this instance
 
When's your next game marra? Still up for an away game next year?

Defo mate, we said Stoke didn't we?
I'm hoping to come up for the Spurs game. If not I'm coming to the Swansea game on the 27th but I'm in the West stand and I have to drive cause I need to be home in good time cause my lass is going out with the girls and I'm on babysitting duties. My mates lending me his season ticket.

Cool, might see you at one of them. <ok>
 
Graham, Altidore Fletcher and Wickham, that doesn't read like list of potential top scorers..

I honestly couldn't put them in order from best to worst..
 
Let's just look at Commachio's post for a minute. On the surface, he's right of course. But we have a man who's played 71 internationals for USA whose natural position is off left of a striker. In that position, he breaks records and actually scores more than the strikers (Donovan and later, Dempsey)! But Poyet will do anything but play him there. He'll even play Wickham (a natural centre-forward) to the left of Altidore, rather than play Altidore to the left of Wickham! Y'Know, if I was a young player's father at Sunderland, I'd afraid I'd be telling him the same as Connor's father - get out of here, son, before he ruins your career like he's ruining Jozy's.

Are the strikers the problem here - of is it Poyet? I'm not stating anything, just asking. What does anyone feel? Would you leave your son here? I wouldn't.

An interesting point.

Maybe it could be that simple, Wickham or Fletcher in the middle, with Altidore to the left, with that kind of record, that's impressive.Surely they try this in training. Don't they?

Well that's part of my point,Commachio. When it's worked so very successfully 71 times at international level, what's left to try? I like Poyet, a lot in many ways. But in other ways, I just don't understand the man. I regret to say it, but I wouldn't have my son play within 100 miles of the man.
 
Hmm, good points Relic.

We clearly don't click up top with what we've got. As much as Poyet bangs on about Jozy banging them in in training and Wickham liking to be playing out wide, I don't know why he doesn't change it.
