Last time Sunderland appointed a new manager they won 7 of their next 10 games. Hopefully that won't happen again.

"our" = "the nation"

*nods*

As Henry Winter said, he is too good a person for this game.

And, yes, he really did say that.

Let's hope they don't get a lift with a new manager in.

Nah.

I am one of the harshest critics of O'Neill but sacking him now is absolutely nuts. Utter insanity.

Yep, they've been on a terrible run so his position was precarious but to do it now seems crazy.

Yet another manager who failed to go on to bigger and better things after leaving the Villa.

Let's hope that Sunderland's team react in a Reading like fashion rather than a Southampton like fashion.

Sir Elton John should rewrite one of his songs to reflect the seriousness of the situation.

Lets hope he doesn't get the everton gig - already some of their fans are touting his name.
