I like Sunderland as a club but I wouldn't bet against them for relegation.

I can see the wanker quitting in the next few weeks.

He's been sussed, good and proper.

With the booing, I reckon he'll figure this is the best time for him to bail out and protect his reputation - the accusations would be that the Sunderland fans drove him out.

We said something similar during the game when our fans gave him a quick rendition of 'you're getting sacked in the morning'.  He'll walk before he gets sacked.

I would like to raise a glass to all those who realised he was a one trick pony about 18 months before every one else did. Cheers, UTV

I was never a fan when we first got him, although I admit he did bring a feel good factor to the club, however, i now fear most of that was down to the new ownership.

He looked pretty subdued in the post match interview. Is he ok do you think? *clutches pearls*

We have a new manager now. A good one! Let the legend that was MON lie..

...

I agree.

Well, actually, I don't.

I loved every useless minute his team spent on the pitch today, and the post match thread has bettered anything the Bard managed to put together.

Enjoy MON's misery now that he is in lesser circumstances, while you will. He did well, for us,  while he was here; to a point. Randy f*cked him and maybe he, MON, f*cked himself to a degree. It is over now; over!. PL is the man now. Leave MON to sort his new NE problems out.
Up the Villa! That is what it is about and what I care about..I care about the future not the past! The past was great, and I love what we did, but the future can be better, and it will be! The rest is irrelevant!!

We've been a bit harsh on Martin recently, so i'd like to sing him a song that conveys my respect for the man, the myth, the legend, that is Martin O'Neill.

To the tune of the city is ours: Pubes on his head, pubes on his head, Martin O'Neill, has pubes on his head.

I'm dead mature me.

Hope is not available only in digital download?

I always love the smell of vinyl in the morning...it smells like victory.

You saw his face towards the end of the game and you knew he knew that it was over. It was fucking priceless. I fancy us to take 6 points off them this season too. If that contributes to sending them down then fantastic. Nowt against Sunderland, but I'd love O Neill to have a relegation on his CV.

It ain't over till she sings... I was one of his biggest fans and doubts only started after Moscow. Like Tony Blair winning his first election-two good years then the rest of the time going backwards.
Time to move on and wish him no harm for the future. 8)

Was he doing that looking at the floor thing?  I do hope so.

I would also like the apologize to the people who found MON out before I. I was very much in the pro MON camp right up until I saw him spunking Sunderlands money. We have a great manager in Lambert, and the future will be great,if we stick with it.
