Shame to see Origi go off, he was sh*te.

We're coming up to 'Newcastle time'

Ooooh!!

I think he's been doing alright defensively.

Davis wearing his old shooting boots at the moment.

Pelle seems to get absolutely nothing from any ref in this league.

Are you sure?

I don't have a problem with Clasie starting personally. Liverpool's midfielders aren't exactly giants and I think having him getting stuck in to them will help us. Right now, I'm calling it a brave but probably good decision.

Reminds me of when Villa won here a couple of seasons ago with their only 3 shots going in. Sunderland were sh*te and if it wasn't for a silly challenge by Coloccini they'd have lost.

Sunderland have been absolute dog sh*t, then this happens.

A bit like the Pompey myth about them sending us down at West Brom.

Cattermole or Mitrovic, who's going to stay on the pitch longer?

Better than crack and hookers I guess. Good luck Ryan.

So this was a year ago. What a mental game that was. The first couple of pages of this thread, "we're not really playing well."

He knows things about Clasie that would make your hair curl.

I envy you.

Harding was second only to Lambert in player of the season under Pardew, was an excellent free transfer at the time. If only we'd been able to pick a couple of players like that a year earlier we might not have gone down.

Sorry, I didn't really phrase it too clearly. I meant guys who'd excelled for their country without necessarily playing as well for Saints. I agree that Pelle isn't a good example of this as he has been as good for us as Italy, it just got me thinking about other internationals.

Just watching Pelle this evening got me thinking about which Saints players performed particularly well for their country, even if they were never the best players for us. Anders Svensson has to be the prime example. 148 caps for an outfield player is quite incredible (23 more than Shilton), not to mention his fantastic free kick to dump the Argies out of the 2002 World Cup. Agustin Delgado is another, having arrived with a big reputation following some excellent performances for Ecuador. Steven Davis has been the N. Ireland captain on and off for 9 years now and has topped it off with those 2 goals to send them to France next summer.

That wasn't bad.

Where red shirts are fine, navy and white stripes are fine but red and white stripes - absolutely not!

I can't even imagine how that video came to exist.

Meaning Butland needs some experience playing for England incase Hart picks up an injury and is unable to play next summer. I don't get how that's hard to understand
