Delph\?! :? It ain't going to happen for him here. And Bannan has regressed this season, partly due to McLeish and partly due to his attiude off the pitch. Gardner is going to be good but too early to expect match winning performances. Ireland needs to say. With N'zogbia, he's a game changer and points winner. We get rid of both, have a team of honest hardworking pros and we'll be bobbing between 11-15th again next season. Remember folks, we signed Paul Merson in September 1998 and he didn't start showing consistant match winning form until December 1999 so as long as it's taken Ireland to get his act together. And Merson also pissed off to New York mid season aswell.

Just showed the Sunderland squad looking at the Muamba floral tribute at the Reebok...fair play to them for popping down there. Guess which Sunderland player was still chewing gum?

He really has been. Still raises a chuckle when in summer 2008 we were after Milner and SWP and most on here wanted SWP. :shock:

Without jumping the gun on this, is the indication Fabrice is communicating a little with friends showing his brain may have survived reasonably intact from this cardiac arrest or is it too early to say?

Me too aswell. He's still only 25 aswell so it would be a waste of a career. The MLS is improving but come on players go there when they're 30 + not in the peak of their careers. I would also worry about what sort of fee we'd get for, MLS clubs don't tend to sign players for large amounts.

Frazier Campbell isn't better than Gabby no way.

When do the cheap ones in L9 go on sale?

Maybe if he was well on the way to recovery. Sadly, he's still very much in danger at the minute so no chance of playing the game.

Probably be sometime in April, lots of free mid week dates either side of Easter.

Right decision to postpone. There is plenty of time in April to play this game when hopefully things will be better.

Statement now saying he is "critically ill."

I was watching Sky news and they did say this info had come from sky sources.

I'm no medical expert but normally in these situations the doctors say the next 24 hours e.g. the night will be crucial. Better news than I was expecting so good sign at the minute.

Muamaba stable- Sky News.

Yep, I'm sure the amblance crew would be on twitter the minute they did that to inform the world. Folks let's wait for something official from the hospital.

Twitter is awful at times like these, I'm refusing to look at it. Let's wait for something official from the hospital, hopefully good news.

Yes I fear this is going to be the case. So so sad.

She is yet more proof of John Terry's influence with Roman behind the scenes. :winkold:

Wigan still have a squeak I think. Their last two games are away at Blackburn and at home to Wolves. If they can avoid defeat at Ewood and be within 2 points of Blackburn going into the last game, they have a chance as Wolves could already be down by that game and I think Blackburn's final game is away to Chelsea.

That's true!

Let's not rewrite history just because he's injured....loads of times Bent has been up top on his own this season and he's failed to hold the ball and we've been under pressure from that. But Bent is obviously much more alert when the ball is moving in our box than Gabby who's usually static. The old chesnut but if you combined the two you'd have one of the best strikers in the league, say Drogba and he wouldn't be playing for us.

That's setting the bar a bit low, isn't it? He would be replacing Heskey in the squad.

TBF Ash is consistent. He was always on here moaning whenever we didn't win a game under MON aswell! I was going to get a 295 season ticket but doubt they'll be any left so will stick with the cheap game by game tickets. No problem.

And here was me who after reading this thread fully expected to know what Brett Holman has for breakfast due to the input of the 1m VT Aussie community (well that's what it seems like when there's a world cup or the Ashes is on :winkold: ) Come on, you lot can't say you've never heard of him as he's played over 50 times for your national team.
