Gents - read the report on todays game above - priceless. Friedel is described as a netminder, and Altidore regaining possession as a turnover! Just might be american.

I also like the fact that Dempsey worked for 70 minutes. And Altidores assist was in a come-from-behind 3-1
You got to love the yanks :-)

Ed what did u think of mannone today I thought in that match vs spurs he played better than migs!
Cheers ed!
{Ed024's Note - I dont think Spurs were that threatening - that said he looked very comfortable in some tough conditions - did everything expected of him. I wonder if Westwood will get his chance to show what he can do against Man City.}
Give over! He hardly had anything to do. The Defoe shot was straight at him. Migs was good at one on ones and a decent shot stopper. Mannone has a fair bit to do before he's to get to miss level IMO.
He ain't a Migs level yet
But, he certainly HAD plenty to do, that was like a Mignolet performance but he needs to play like this every week to be compared to Migs
Look, we can't compare him yet after just one game. However, what he had to do he did well. Good save from Adebayor, good block from Defoe (although it was straight at him) and brave down at Defoes feet. I would class that as a Solid competitive debut.
The only thing I question now is if Westwood will be happy to play number 2 again!
What's the point in comparing the guy with a keeper that has left us let the guy prove him self with out comparison craigsafc

Ed, what's happening with Sess
Is he going or not
{Ed024's Note - Good question - if you'd asked a month ago I'd have said he was definately off, whispers of him not liking PDC's tough approach, family still not settled, and rumours of approaches from French and Asian clubs, etc etc. But the rumours have dropped off and he must be impressed the quality of the new signings. With Graham going and PDC not apparently looking for another forward I'm starting to think Sess may be staying.}
A month ago I'd have said yes but he must be impressed with the new lads and the rumoured bids seem to have evaporated so I'm starting to believe he's staying.
24 Jul 2013 21:08:12
after todays game, I hope pdc keeps sess, he looked hungry and linked up perfectly with the new signings. tk73
24 Jul 2013 20:28:13
Yes fair enough Bardsley Cattermole they can go but for me Sessegnon has to stay I think we should try and keep him for one more season he's a great player to have can create anything out of nothing he was great today and has been through pre season so far i'd like to see him stay personally. then all we need in transfers is a right back a left back and a centre mid and I would be happy with that.
24 Jul 2013 19:24:46
Is it me or did Sessegnon show an amazing amount of commitment throughout the game this morning? Brilliant performance very impressed by all new signings especially Giacherrini. He looks class. Another one or two in and we'll be ready. Fletch will be back soon hopefully as well. Haway The Lads!
Thought johnson played well aswell, did you see him take adebayor and rose on together in the first few minutes. Safc93
24 Jul 2013 16:34:22
Did Rose play?
If he did, what was he like?
Colback was much better then rose, spurs fans slating him on there rumour website.
24 Jul 2013 16:10:19
Man City want 6m for Kolarov
Worth a bid?
24 Jul 2013 14:51:31
I wouldn't mind keeping colback left back but NEED a rb and a attacking creative cm and as another st to cover for fletcher or take over from altidor if he struggles again but was impressed by bus the day haway the lads
Colback was linked out of the club wasn't he?
{Ed024's Note - He has signed a contract extension yet but PDC is keen to keep him.}
24 Jul 2013 13:59:13
Hi ed wot do you think about the new signings at first look cabal looks good and Giako the Italy new lad comfortable on the ball looks the part wot do u make ov them?
{Ed030's Note - I have always liked Giaccherini and he will be a very good signing for Sunderland,PDC will improve Sunderland with his passion,I don't think Sunderland need to worry about Relegation next season with PDC in charge. }
24 Jul 2013 13:29:50
I see Sky Sports News have taken down the 'Di Canio says Peruzzi deal is off' story. I've no idea if that's significant or not, the story has more twists than a bent corkscrew.
I didn't see the Spurs match because i'm at work, did anyone impress? Good result even if it is a friendly.
Cabral looked impressive and the same with karlsson when he came on. Giacherini looked good same with altidore but he lacked the finishing touch. I'd say most players had a good game
24 Jul 2013 13:13:52
Great display today. Apart from bale, sandro and BAE it was their first team. Cabral and brown were by far the best 2 players on the pitch. Safc93
24 Jul 2013 13:11:05
Great result were u watching newcastle lol
Yes I watched, great result, this is the european push again like Brucie and O`neil were going to deliver. In fact, maybe top 4 now lads. Yipppeeeeee
Watch it mate, we've only played one game, still all could go to pot
I did watch yes. Good result against spurs reserves. Banging your drums very early again I see. Bruce and O Neil spring to mind.
Reserves my arse. but hey none of the players on the pitch would make your bench would they lol. 2nd post mag in disguise we ain't all as deluded as u lot
Every one of those spurs reserves would walk straight into the scums team.
Don't get too confident, remember you have to play Man City next.
Your right everyone of those spurs players would get in to your side.
Bale off to real so more a less a full team
24 Jul 2013 13:02:23
Good game for Jozy Altipoor against tottenham. hha
Aye it was, nice assist and put in a real shift. thanks for noticing you SGB. Safc93
Early days
Beat a top team today.
How are results going for your lot?
Oh I remember SH*TE.
Roll on the derby. , Altidore is bound to score against your poor defence.
Thought it was fletcher who was the finisher and altidore to add muscles whilest adding a few goals. add the full backs and we will be beasts this season. ftm
Considering u have the worst"football player" ever in amiobi u can say nowt.
Skunks are keeping ameobi, because of their striker crisis, just gets better lol
S**** defence? mate you've got O'Shea and Cuellar. Not even close to the quality of Coloccini and Mbiwa
{Ed024's Note - Coloccini's decent player on his day - but sent off for trying to choke a second rate portuguese player, shows you where is head is at and great preparation for new season, suspended from friendlies !!!!
Mbiwa !!!! You'll have to find him first, he has a tendancy to go missing.}
With Colo trying to strangle the opposition and fans punching horses, what is happening at that club, it is laughable. can't wait for the next episode.
Bet JK smacks a barmaids arse and gets locked up ( could be a barmans ).
Mind, the Colo incident might well be down to pardew. He is trying to bring in new tactics.
Skunks really are deluded to even compare Sideshow Bob with O'Shea. No Skunk player past or present has won anywhere near as many trophy's as him. You should show more respect to a man who has won more in the game than your club has in its whole history.
24 Jul 2013 13:59:37
well played sunderland sess and cabral played well, have to buy RB and LB for season start
Gerrin! Haway Paol03 Lad!
24 Jul 2013 11:23:33
Danny Rose playing for Spurs against us today. That's a statement from AVB if I've ever seen one. No Rose playing for SAFC next season then!
You just realized this?
Colback is putting in a good shift at Left back.
He obliterated Walker with a challenge.
I have not seen Walker wince away from a legit challenge many times before.
This is not his first team
7SAFC7
Nor is its Spurs first team. Good win though.
24 Jul 2013 11:12:47
ED How often does these pages get refreshed and do all clubs pages get done together, just without the time scale that was on top you`re none the wiser now
SAFC Til I Die
{Ed001's Note - I will get that put back mate. As for how often, it depends on how many editors and which editors are around at the time. Editors will always keep on top of their own team's site, then, when that is up to date, will keep others ticking over when the editor for it is not about. So refreshes vary, especially as there are quiet times when nobody is posting anything to update with!}
24 Jul 2013 09:18:02
Team predictions for 2day?
7SAFC7
I think we will nick it since they don't have bale playing, can't believe it's been delayed. Safc93
1-1 at half time, great link up between jozy & cabral (who scored) for the equalizer! Bring on the second half.
Brown for 2-1, wow Friedal has pulled out some blinding saves, impressive.
24 Jul 2013 08:07:01
If cissoko is sold to us then valencia lose 40% through sell on clause ehereas if they loan him to liverpool for a season and then sell him its only 20%
That wouldn't stop us from taking him on loan. Means we are offering both options.
