Joleon Lescott - GONE

[SoccerHQ]

We signed him years later than we should've. Even at the time he signed for WBA in 2014 I think he'd have been a decent pick up.

His comments there I think added to the well known ones he said last year just indicate to me he's another moddy-coddled footballer where anything is never his fault.

Richards is another....in their self-centred bubbles thinking they're great just because their bank balance is.

Tonight - after watching that dire excuse for a " team " display, I am even more upset that normal about this " fancy-Dan " so-called-supporter milking Aston Villa in the way he did, treating the fans with such utter contempt and then claiming he loves the club that you and I love. Go away. Lescott.....and take this thread with you!

Scary news for Mackems ... free agent Joleon Lescott is training with Sunderland with a view to a move.

You presume someone there kept an eye on us last year or even learned enough from the limited 'highlights' package at the end of MOTM, but clearly not.

'Clutching' and 'straws' spring to mind.

Have we got over second centre-mid and right back yet?

What is it with the North East and signing players from one of the shittest teams to ever grace the Premier League?

Moyes , perhaps like other managers,  enjoys bringing in his trusted players . Could see him going for Jagielka too and team him and lescott . Both look lile they aren't top level quality and we saw jolen Jolene appetite for a relegation battle so seems more the case moyes feels he can rely on him! Based on season past !Despite his protestations that he gives it is he a Mr 100%! ?

He was slower than Jedinak is now, when he arrived from WBA. Now I guess he hasn't improved, either. What do you think ?

His missus is sexy (allegedly) and he drives a better car than me.

[BOB MANSFIELD]

....Has he [accidentally of course ] sent you a picture.



Of his CAR, I mean...........

Whoah !!!!!!!
See what you mean. She's a beauty.

Now where did I put my glasses ?

Haha Sunderland are s_ckers. Glad Moyes didn't become our manager!

Blimey, Moysie really wants the bullet doesn't he?

[peter w]

As crap as mid-table Championship is give yourself a moment to just think about Sunderland and their fans for a minute. They are going through every just much as we have been going through over the last few seasons before last seasons debacle. As strange as it may sound I prefer being mid-table in the Championship knowing that we are chasing something achievable rather than watch manager after manager get sacked and rubbish player after rubbish player being thrown into the battle in which they are ultimately doomed to fail. Losing every week, unpopular manager, dislike bordering on hatred of your players, a universally unpopular owner, signings seemingly designed to relegate the team, and comments from managers making it appear that they want the sack anyway.

Horrible, truly horrible.

Only the bottom 3 of the PL are yet to better our points total from last season, and all 3 are 1 win away from doing it. I'm with Peter, despite being mid-table (so far) i'm much preferring this to last season.

I may revise my answer if we're mid-table next season as well, but as we'll be clear at the top it will all be good.

I'm surprised he's still there. Last week he said something like "Signing new players this window won't make a big difference". I think he's just waiting to be fired before becoming a full time TV pundit. We certainly dodged a bullet with him last summer.
