4th bottom and 5th bottom for our clubs. Absolute disgrace. Both clubs are big, good fan bases. If O`neil had not been sacked, sunderland would be down. If Pardew stays, Newcastle are in danger next season. BUT please let's stop all this nonsense and deluded claims from BOTH sets of fans regarding players. Cavani/El Shaaray/Rooney/Lescott/Milner/Carroll, these players are well above our clubs at this moment in time. And just look at the domestic cup holders, Swansea and Wigan, let's face it, top 4 is well out of both clubs reach so why not target the two cups the big boys are not interested in? Anyway, good luck to both teams next season and let's not raise our hopes too high.

Surprised the toon have kept Pardew a recipe for relegation that one. PDC? mmm not sure. well if he brings in quality ( and after the dross we've had this season that can't be difficult). we could do well but whether he can galvanise and maintain discipline. a team from scratch is debatable? time will tell!

Worries me that he has only been there 5 minutes and already he is pi$$ing people off. He obviously has shockingly low man management skills. But he did punch a previous player so why am I surprised.

Nah i'm targeting 10th or 9th next season, if he's backed then I think he'll do well :) as for Di canio, he's a good man manager, motivator but you cannot judge his tactics or ability yet. Yes you destroyed us 3-0 with a bit of luck but then you got hammered 6-1 to villa you know? End of next season you can judge him. December for pardew.

Supposedly Liverpool want Danny Rose. We should give Tottenham a deal they just can't resist

Newcastle are a big club, Sunderland are not.

Stop trying to pretend like we are close rivals or something.

We should be competing with the likes of Liverpool for league positions every season, we had a bad season and everyone knows it.

You should be competing with the likes of the promoted teams, and that is where you are now. No surprises.

Newcastle a big club and sunderland not? is that why sunderland have more league titles than newcastle and newcastle haven't won a trophy for nearly 50 years. Interesting

"newcastle are a big club, sunderland are not" proves how arrogant and big headed newcastle fans are. and as for saying you should be competing with liverpool every season well you couldn't compete against them for 5 minutes a few weeks ago. I'm not calling every newcastle fan but a few of them need to grow up and stop living in the past

You cannot even fill your stadium.

Newcastle finished above Liverpool last season, but like I said, this was a bad season for us.

No one is raising an eyebrow at where you lot are in the table.

There is not point getting your feelings hurt, it is just the truth 'ya knaw. '

So a full stadium means a bigger club does it? Wind ya neck in

Everyone calm the f*ck down
Errrrrr 3-0 was it, at your place?
Em, watch the amount of replies by the mags sayin that it wasn't their day and that they're sooooo much better
Nobody was surprised by the way you season has turned out, you blame it on Europe, but the funny thing is, no other team who got into Europe last year has shown signs of struggling, which goes to show you have a bad squad
If ya can't take the heat, get out the kitchen mate

Yes, you finished above Liverpool last season, but you were in the championship the season before, so don't come here with your silly patter about a big club this and a big club that. Your club is nothing, its all in your daft minds, you were nearly relegated again. Where the hell do you lot get it from, is it just a jawdee inferiority thing or what?Chris-s.

Good banter spoiled by some immature lad who most probably likes Newcastle but never been to sjp that's why I didn't call him a fan. pity as it was a good original post

Ha so true and funny
Especially that last line!!

We were not in the Championship the season before we finished 5th.

You invalidated your post with your lack of knowledge.

Btw: Bouncing straight back from the Championship shows the kind of metal Newcastle have.

Stop pretending to be a rival to Newcastle!

We all be back with a bang next season.

Sunderland have to contend with Di Canio having a big fall out with your players next season.

We are heading up the table next season.

Sunderland are a contender to go down with Stoke & Hull next season.

You know it is true.

And stop the malarky about 3-0.

It was a one off.

Give it a rest.

Watch what happens when we trounce you next season.

You seriously need to get over yourself mate. Your possibly the most deluded and arrogant mag ever. Quite a few newcastle fans have been talking sence on here and fair enough they come on for banter but even they will admit your the clueless one

5th top to 5th bottom. Lost last 3 home games, 10 goals against, no goals scored. and this sad skunk has the neck to call our team. Ge0rdi3=Norwegian for Sad and Deluded. FTM 03. 7 more years.

Big clubs do not wear WONGA!

Di Canio has said he wants a new striker
Who do we think we should target
For me, Yilmaz

With all this speculation on players coming and going has anybody any idea how much money we really have to spend and what realistic targets we have any chance of getting?

Would love Yilmaz

This is the crack
We supposedly have enough money to fund a 50m move for One player, but I doubt we would only buy one player with the problems our team are having so it's got to be over 50m
Mr Short (multi billionaire) has told Di Canio he can have whatever budget he wants, and I doubt he'd turn that down
He is obviously looking at top players, eg: Cavani (I know it's virtually impossible to get him) but it shows ambition
I think for the ultra leagues like BPL and La Liga, and top teams he would look at the substitutes (eg: Milner) because first team footballers in those teams don't want to come to us
In lesser leagues like the Turkish or Dutch, he would go for fist team footballers (eg; Yilmaz, Douglas)

We need at least 4 good strikers Fletcher + another 3!

How does it show ambition? Newly promoted Cardiff could circulate the same rumours of signing Cavani, would they be showing ambition? Makes you lot look a little bit ridiculous if you ask me.

We actually put a bid in though!

The Italian Cloughie

Interviewer: How would you describe your management philosophy?

Manager: The philosophy I've got is the fact that if there are a hundred battles to be won when you take over a new job, you might as well get them all done in the first three months if you can, no point in saying well we'll take our time, get 'em out of the road and then you can clear the decks and get down to what you think is the right thing.

Interviewer: Are you talking about players here?

Manager: Anything

(Brian Clough, Derby County, 1967)

Errrrrrrrr
What?

This is what I hope our team looks by September
____________Mignolet____________
Konko____O'Shea__Diakite____Rose
___Milner__Cattermole__Henderson__
Johnson________________Sessegnon
____________Fletcher_____________

Maybe, but Di Canio has said he wants a striker
Aguero anyone, lol

Cattermole is a no no for me, Captain or not, he should not even be at our club. A vandal a thug, not what we need at Sunderland, hope Paolo chases him, the previous managers should have done it but he is still getting money for nothing.

Nowt wrong with Cattermole, we so missed him while he has been out injured, yes sometimes he's a liability, but we are or were a better team with him in the middle of the park.

Agree we missed Catt's, always a better side with him. PDC will see all the qualities he looks for in him. Also agree he can be a liability, but maybe PDC can iron out the wrinkles!

If we can fund a move for 50m rated Cavani who is one of the best strikers in the world, it shows ambition to buy top class internationals and proves we have the money to fund the moves for top class internationals
We need to get a whole new defence
2 centre mids, a winder and 1 or 2 forwards depending on the formation

'IF'? AMBITION? Sunderland will never, ever, in your lifetime sign a top-class international who has a choice of CL clubs, and you should face it. Like my lot up the road, you need to build steadily and not chuck big money at here today, gone tomorrow 'stars'. Ambition for both clubs is safe and steady in the Prem first and then build carefully one brick at a time. Having said that, Sunderland will always find it hard to attract top talent because Sunderland's an out of the way dump.

And what is newcastle then if not a dump, when was the last time you had a drive round, no real s/land fan is expecting 50mil signings, we just hope we don't sign some of the dross that bruce and oniel signed we need players to play with passion something that has been lacking recently

Has PDO forgot what he was like as a player. Shouting and fineing players only get you so far. player power allways wins!

Try telling that to Sir Alex, AVB or the late great BC

A good slap doesn't do much harm either

Modern day football is crap and am falling out with it. hate to say it but we are pure dire and it's a chew going to games!!

As far as PDC for me the jury is still out and he needs to clear most of this squad out. and his signings will be the key to whether we dowell next season. as 4th bottom is totally unacceptable a I agree with him over the Bardsley Kllgallon rap these are overpaid palyers e who aren't interested in wearing the red and white shirt with pride!

Going by what iv'e read on this site and other these are the transfers I think are likely to happen.
out, bardsley, killgallon, bramble, ji, elmo, brown and vaughan.
in:
el hadji ba - free
Diakite -free
roberge - free
viana - free
rose - 8 million
finnbogason - 7 million
guidetti - 4 million
can anyone else add to the list? safc93

Zarate-free

If we supposedly have enough money to fund a move for 50m rated Cavani, I expect quite a few top class internationals heading our way
For me:
•Richards/doesn't get a game
•Diakite/pretty much got him
•Roberge/think we've already got him
•Rose/sure we'll get him
•Milner/doesn't get a game
•Lamela/open to premier league switch, anything can happen, didn't think we'd get Johnson OR Yilmaz (same reasons
•Guidetti/Doesn't get a game
•El haji Ba/ think we'll get him

2nd post, that's almost perfect on the sort of players you will get! I just don't see sunderland going for richards, milner etc.

Mr Short has agreed with Di Canio that he is willing to give him whatever budget he wants, so we could sign top players like Milner and Richards

I can see milner and richards going to liverpool or spurs. think we'll look over seas for players instead of british players, would like some flair, a goal scorer and a commander at the back. safc93
