"They had to be ushered out of of the pub just as they were about to get their kit off. A great shame although a couple of the prop forwards would've been better off staying fully clothed.." - Andy, on his SAFC v Man City matchday experience, in the company of female rugby players, in a Twickenham pub

"I couldn't care less what any sponsor might call it. It will be the Stadium of Light to us fans. I would welcome sponsorship by Viagra for example as we will probably stay up for a few seasons as a result of their financial contribution ..."One supporter's comment

"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

"I think we handled the Chamakh case badly" - Jean-Louis Triaud, interview in L'Equipe, Dec 4 2009

Ian Porterfield RIP

Tuesday, September 11th, 2007

It is reported that Ian Porterfield has died after a long battle against cancer of the colon. This was an illness he bore with great fortitude, continuing with real passion to the last few weeks of his life to run the Armenian national football team. He was 61, and died in a hospice in Surrey.

Everyone remembers Monty’s saves in the 1973 FA Cup triumph over Leeds United at Wembley. They would have counted for nothing had it not been for Ian’s winning goal.

Salut! Sunderland extends deep sympathy to Ian’s family and friends, and will return to this sad news tomorrow.
