Not some of the present day 'commentators' ALL OF THEM The best thing ever invented for TV football is the 'Mute' button Some, oops sorry, a long time back football was shown with the option of no commentary only the crowd background alas no chance of that with the dreaded 'Sky' and 'BT'

Why on earth did Forster stand like a statue and watch the Costa header go by him. The header was saveable.surely.and then there would have been two more points in the kitty. Can't fault him for the second half display, however. ex-Saint Gary Monk's boys can do us a favour tonight.

I sometimes wonder what he,(Sharp), could have been like under RonKo's tutorship

Red and White stripes were good enough for the Tyne -Wear 'derby'

Think you've got the gist, the problem is. ? Mane is coming back! and his trouble is that nobody has impressed upon him that 'your supposed to take the ball with you' when you make a break no matter how fast you can run. and also that there four white posts at each end of the pitch and the ball has to go between the middle two for a goal.

My apologies too. So have I. As Frank Carson would say 'Its a cracker'

...and 'The Star' claims we are interested in Leonel Vangioni, current playing as a left-sided midfielder for River Plate,(Argentina). His on-line profile claims his preferred position is left-back. Valued at £1.32 million one draw-back is probably his age, (27) though Pelle is now 29 so does age matter if he can do the job. (see On-line Sky Sports News, Paper Talk).

Thanks for the correction. It just that I'm getting all excited - but not sexually, alas. !

Anybody know when the tickets are being issued ? Just over 3 weeks to kick-off.

Look at Lens what ?

Last Saturday morning 'Trooping the Colours' shown on 'the Beeb' had the option of No commentary but still kept the back-ground sound. B...dy marvellous. ! Why can't the Beeb do the same with the World Cup broadcasts. I don't have some prat yapping in my ear at SMS so why do I have to suffer one paid handsomely from my licence fee. ? No point in putting this to ITV as its a struggle for them to even show the goals.

If he's that good why has he been out on loan this season, given Sunderland's parlous position in the league

Well they would would'nt they as long its not a Saints player . Biased. Never ! And what anybody sees in Wilshere is beyond me. A walking medical case, and not a very inspiring player for either club or country, in spite of what the London dailies would have us believe.

This. ! At the the moment it is shambolic and in-audable.

Was'nt Moyes interviewed by Saints before he joined Everton. If not, I think he was 'deffo' on the prospective list of candidates, while he was still at Preston.
