In the paper today, Di Canio is criticising Martin O'Neill for the fact that the Sunderland squad is unfit and can't last for 90 minutes of high tempo football. Think I have seen this somewhere else recently !!

Young, quick, can play anywhere across midifeld and likes to pick a pass, Reid sounds like M'changama to me. Maybe we will see Youssuf back next season after all !!

There may be plenty in the shop but it's only XL and above on-line. E-mailed the club a few weeks ago to see if they were getting any more, but got no response !!

According to the BBC website, Richards claimed Mancini's decision to switch from 4-4-2 during the Champions League defeat at Ajax killed City's chances of claiming victory. But Mancini said: "If you are a top player it is not important what system you use. If you don't understand a system like that, you cannot play for a top team."

Lets hope they move him on then, for a sizeable fee !!

Haven't been able to get on to the site for several days, no matter which computer I use (and I've tried about 4 between work and home) it just freezes and I can't read any of the articles.

Will we be getting one of these supporters at BP plus Carlos Valderama wigs all round !!

Dan Hattersley used to play in the Isle of Man, as an under 17 he scored about 70 goals one season in U17's and 2nd team senior football !!

The Isle of Man recently replaced the grass pitch with a 3G artificial pitch at the stadium in Douglas and installed floodlights, the pitch is now in use 7 days a week and is so popular, it is virtually impossible to get a slot on it. Great money spinner, and from personal experience I can tell you it is just like playing on a grass pitch but with little or no maintenance costs incolved.

Does anyone know if it is possible to buy a print of the Boundary Park painting which Joe Scarborough did for the Latics centenery year ?
