This a complete and utter load of Bollocks!!! This style of Football is nothing new! Liverpool are famed for playing, short passing, strong defensive, possession keeping football during the '80's and what about the "Total Football" that the like of Johan Cruyff was playing for the Dutch during the '70's. Oh and of course lets not forget the Brazilians!!

Oh and of course lets not forget the Brazilians!! How long has O'Neill been at Sunderland? Not that long and his side have almost seen an immediate turn around of results (Just as we did when he came to us) and they look a force to be reckoned with this season, especially with such signings like Andy Johnson etc..I was extremely happy with the capture of Paul Lambert and believe he will bring success to Aston Villa, but the board clearly need to invest more money in experienced players, as well as blooding new young and hungry ones. G. VILLA 'TIL I DIE!!
I doubt that would make great reading for Sunderland fans. O'Neill's brand of football is effective enough to make his club among the best of a bunch of other clubs with outdated tactics and/or less money to spend. But it's also why 6th place appeared to be his glass ceiling, and why he usually came a cropper against European opposition.
