But they don't wear interesting jumpers!

Its worrying that transfer activity seems to have come to a full stop. 'Speculate to accumulate' doesn't seem to apply and the only marquee signing might be the tent usually put up on Villa Village car park to flog off the old kit. Perhaps some of the much-discussed unwanted players could be included!

Now I'm going to put out the bunting I bought. I knew there would be a reason for it!

Funny you think MON was good, a lot of people I know thought he was one dimensional. MON could pick a decent 11 but couldn't manage a squad, hence why we were in the top 4 until Feb/March each season until the players all became knackered and the wheels fell off. The same us now evident at Sunderland, and the Mackem fans are starting to see it. I am happy with Lambert though. He looks like a manager that could be here for more than 12 months... He was like the "curates egg" good in parts....and not very good in the transfer market. Hope Lambert is more rounded. He looks pretty rounded to me!

Why do you think it's a kid?

Then showed a couple of interviews outside the EMPTY ticket office!

It says they are refusing to accept Lambert's 'Offer of Resignation' while he is talking to another club. Presumably this means they want compensation. Fair enough.

There's a difference in 'walked out' and 'resigned' although walking out could be taken as a resignation it would have to be written.

I gather a deal has been done between Nike and the German National team. That would be a big tick for Nike over the local stripes! Can you confirm that NV?

Did I hear correctly the dear departed Mr Baros helped his new team to a home defeat by Bordeaux on his debut?
