Alex 35079 Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Ah OK cheers. My brother got me the book for Christmas actually but I haven't started it yet - I'm still reading Touching Distance, which is absolutely class Just reading that too. It's quality. Heartbreaking comparison with what the club has become under Ashley though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dickie 0 Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Just reading that too. It's quality. Heartbreaking comparison with what the club has become under Ashley though. Aye it really is - for me it's been a reminder of the hope and positivity we had in those years. It really hits home that it's just not the same club now. I just read Ferdinand's chapter last night - what a top bloke, it was great to read what he had to say about what it meant to him to play for the club and supporters. Same goes for Kelly as well, brilliant stuff. I've heard them say similar things in various interviews over the years but Martin Hardy has done a great job pulling it all together and putting in in context with the narrative of those few seasons.

The Fish 10857 Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Alex Richards There are a number of teams in the Premier League that need strengthening in the coming week - but none need reinforcements to get where they need more than Sam Allardyce’s Sunderland. Wins over Aston Villa and Swansea have been followed by a mauling at Spurs and a draw with Bournemouth – a game where Allardyce was happy to sit back and claim a point. Now the Black Cats head into a devilish run of six games, where Man City (H), Liverpool (A), Man United (H), West Ham (A), Crystal Palace (H) and Southampton (A) all await; six points would be some going. Forget bottom of the table Villa for the moment - they’re done, in need of a complete overhaul in the summer, from top to bottom. This isn’t the window for them. At the Stadium of Light, Big Sam needs to stiffen his side, throughout, and fast. Kind of makes you nostalgic, doesn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoneColdStephenIreland 74 Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 They've bid 10m plus Borini! Yes 10m plus a forward who they signed in the Summer for 12m for a player who Swansea signed for free 6 months ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Kelly 1245 Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Given the state of our reserves it's not a surprise that anyone beats them six nil. As a result it means the square root of fuck all to anyone with an IQ higher than Brendan Dassey, but it is another example of how poor our reserves and juniors are. There needs to be a serious shake up that part of the club. As well as most of the other parts of the club tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
