Will he score before Xmas?
No
Hopefully thats me tempting the inevitable
He’s a poor man’s Heskey. And he doesnt score many either!
However, having said that I reckon he’s now nailed on to score against my lot on 28 Nov!!!
I’m a bit surprised nobody has mentioned:
Beating Chelsea in the FA Cup.
Beating Chelsea in the League Cup.
Drawing at Chelsea in the FA Cup (shame about the replay!)
Everton in the FA Cup.
Beating Port Vale 5-3 after being 3-0 down.
First promotion (was it v Walsall?).or are these a bit too far back for most folk on here?
Baggsy sitting next to smuttydog ;)I shall be spending from Thursday onwards in Spain (its a sh!tty job but someone had to do it!!), so you’ll have to sit next to someone else, and worse still, I’ll miss the game on 28 November. Not even a free ticket would tempt me from a month in Spain on expenses!!
Its good to hear of professional clubs supporting the Armed Forces. Last week at the Stadium of Light, the teams entered to a guard of honour from the army, and there were also collections going on for Help For Heroes.
Thankyou for your input regarding empty seats at the DW, but it is totally irrelevent to the question I asked.
FYI, I have followed Sunderland FC since the mid-80’s. We have the Academy of Light for around 7 years that is now beginning to produce young players of a sufficient standard to hold their own. Grant Leadbitter were the first to make it to the first team, and although he didnt set the world on fire, he was sold on at the start of this season. Currently we have Martyn Waghorn on loan at Leicester and Jack Colback at Ipswich. Last season, numerous youngsters were loaned out to the likes of Carlisle, Southend, Leicester. Jordan Henderson has just broken into the first team under Bruce.
So, I’ll ask again – how is your youth policy standing up with the need to produce home-grown talent? Have you got any stars of the future playing in the CCC/L1 this season?
(And if you really feel like answering, please keep it on-topic, as the moderators dont like me talking about rugby)
Well Smutty…..we could always take a leaf out of the Chubbies book and break the rules in order to cheat the system I suppose??Your Avitar is cool – is that when the cherry and whale played one of those teams on the M62? Is that you and your boyfriend?
Amazing – you manage to bring rugby into a serious question. Maybe you’d be better researching what reserve/youth team players you are developing and loaning out to CCC clubs before this rule comes in, and give a sensible answer to a sensible question.
Thanks for the comments about my avitar – but it was not taken from a rugby game. Do those TWO spectators amongst a mass of empty seats really look fat enough to be rugby fans?
A very disappointing programme last night. Surprisingly, the 2 day strike by postal workers got overlooked in favour of questions purely about the BNP. Of course all the others would gang up on Griffin, just as all the others would gang up if every question was related to individual Labour/Tory/Lib Dem policies.
I thought that Griffin did reasonably well, considering the outright hostility from around the table, including the presenter. His comments about the parts of Islam that are degrading to women was spot on, as was his comments about us keeping our noses out of Iran’s affairs. I also noted that he was quite adamant that the asian british guy who asked what would happen to him under their immigration system would be welcome to stay in the country of his birth.
Obviously, some of the things he said were complete toss – particularly the weasly way of trying to wriggle out of the holocaust issue, however Gordon Brown recently wriggled out of answering what biscuit he prefers to dunk in his cup of tea, so its hardly the first time a politician has failed to answer the question!
Would I vote for them – Hell no, but I for one think that some of his views are spot on.
This bloke brought it into the ground…
A damn site better than that sh1t – tip that was Roker Park. No need for the Giros to stand outside there as they could just climb through the pathetic tin fencing behind the Shevington mud-bank end.
Where can I buy one?
(Maybe the Pravda-style editing will not happen for a couple of hours)
Would you lot say Lee cattermole has gone on to better things…I really wouldn’tCurrently playing in front of 40,000+ in a top half side that takes points from Liverpool and Man Utd, playing for a manager who is proven at this level, with an owner willing to put his money into the club.
Yes, I’d say Mr Cattermole is quite happy, injury apart.
Good luck to emile in the future, but can anyone tell me a player who has left wigan and gone on to better things?I can only think of wilson palacios And before anyone says valencia he,s not exactly setting the world on fire at man utd.
Is that the best you can do? What about:
Joe Hinnigan
Paul Jewell
Kevin Langley
David Lowe
Steve Walsh
Mike Newell
Alex Cribley (I think)I think we could see the first 20,000+ crowd at the DW on Sunday:
5000 City fans in the North Stand
2000 City fans elsewhere in the ground.
2000 from http://www.wiganlatics.co.uk/page/Junio … 27,00.html in the South Stand11000 others.
(Cue the “its more than the eggs got” retorts)
The town will turn Blue on 18 Oct, thats for sure.
