Not surprised. He is obviously highly regarded in the England set up. Good luck to him. Although once he gets a full cap wait for the wailing and gnashing of teeth once the big clubs start sniffing round...

punch

A bit frustrating when we send players out on loan to get games and experience and they end up sitting on the bench - but you cant blame the managers for not playing them if they aren't providing the goods.

So you think he is lying then?

He has said clearly that he will see his contract out.

A boy takes his pet newt to school. "He is nice" says the teacher,"what's his name?"3 "Tiny," says the boy. "Why Tiny?" Asks the teacher "Because he's my newt!"

That is because it is a) Big Sam and B) Sunderland.

Clubs don't seemed to be queuing up to buy him though do they? £15m isn't a huge amount of money for a striker but they seem to think him overpriced.

Yes but the world wide stage is for the likes of United, City, Chelsea etc. I doubt if we sell many shirts abroad. So the debt is to the Leibherrs? So she has been putting the businesses money in then?

I really don't think it is a plan to keep replacing players. It just happens because other clubs want them and because their contract are running down to the point where, if they aren't going to sign a new contract we are better off selling rather than letting them go later for nothing. I am sure they would much rather keep the likes of Mane and Wanyama. But the club have to live in the real world. We are not alone in this. It happens to very club that has players that other teams want.

They were special for a period of time in the last century and did the country proud. You might be too young to remember the forays into Europe by Celtic, Leeds, Liverpool and Forest but we were all rooting for them in those days. How things have changed!

You can pick up a gun in a Supermarket in Washington State. That is some shopping list. Potatoes. Beans. Coffee. M16 Assault Rifle. Dum Dum bullets. Sugar.

"Limey" LOL. You crack me up. Anyway. All this keep your nose out of our business malarkey might wash if it didn't come from someone supposedly in America - a country famous for sticking its collective nose into other peoples business for decades. Not only that, they don't seem to have an qualms about blowing people away on foreign soil as well as their own. Just finishing reading about the my Lai massacre in Vietnam when a troop of very brave soldiers blew away up to 500 old men, women and children. There was one American casualty and he was shot by "friendly fire!" Don't you see the irony? Not that that makes the slightest bit of difference. We live in a very small world now and everything is everybody's business. I think you will find several of us have opinions about Putin and using Cruise missiles in Syria too. What is the world coming to?

The second goal was pure quality. Glad to see Davis getting some of the limelight now after all of his hard work.

off

Couldn't agree more. I am amazed that his woman has stood by him. Why would you want to marry a guy who behaves like that? I doubt very much it was the first time he was out on the pull.

Suspended by the neck would be better - though with his brass neck he wouldn't feel a thing!

If it were that easy to predict you could do away with games completely and let a computer predict the results each week! Who would we slag off then? The computer programmer?
