Salut! away

Salut! smiles

"Saw a remarkable goal celebration vs Bolton - I can't remember if it was the 3rd or 4th goal, but someone in the North Stand celebrated by removing their prosthetic leg and waving it round their head. Beat that!....." - Claire

"Tried to volley instead of heading it, couldn't sleep for weeks afterwards." Danny Dichio on his missed sitter in the Charlton playoff final (as explained to the same Rob as above, at Twitter)

Salut! Bordeaux baiting

Why Bordeaux baiting? “What the f*** would Chamakh do at Sunderland? You have heard him say he will only sign for a big English club. I don’t want to insult Sunderland, but I don’t even know where they finished last season.” - Jean-Louis Triaud, president of "big club" Bordeaux.

Triaud and his manager, Laurent Blanc, say Sunderland are not a big enough club for Marouane Chamakh:
So: league position 30/12/09: Bordeaux 1st; Sunderland 10th (in a much stronger league)

But: average home attendances: Bordeaux 29,746; Sunderland 40,552

And: top flight championships: Bordeaux 6; Sunderland 6
