A few transfer items ahead of the New Year and the January transfer window:
Daryl Murphy is being sought by QPR, but wants to stay at Sunderland.
Roy Keane has apparently offered Blackburn £1m for Robbie Savage. But Rovers are asking for £1.5m for the “mercurial” midfielder (and £3 for striker Jason Roberts).
Reading’s Stephen Hunt will [...]

Today at the Stadium of Light Liam Miller returns to the lineup, and we get Chopra, Kenwyne and Cole playing up front against a Bolton team still just barely free of the drop zone.
The game isn’t being shown live here (I get Chelsea vs newcastle, whoopee), and I may miss the replay this afternoon because [...]

I had a longer post written up, in which I bemoan the Christmas results so far (gutting loss at Reading, demolition vs Man Utd), but I accidentally lost it and I haven’t got the energy to rewrite it. So I’ll borrow a meme from the Salut! Sunderland blog’s Sixer’s Sevens column and say:

Ahead of the Christmas/New Years period, which will see Sunderland play 4 games in 11 days (followed by the FA Cup tie vs Wigan 3 days after that), there are some disconcerting transfer rumors in the air.
First is the report that Chelsea may make a £10m swoop for Kenwyne Jones. Sure, that would be [...]
Transfer Rumors: Hunt to Black Cats?
By: Lucas | 1 Comment
Ahead of Saturday’s match at Madejski Stadium, the Sunderland Echo is reporting multiple rumors involving Reading players coming to Sunderland during the January transfer window.
As I earlier reported in this space, Roy Keane has been looking very closely at former Reading captain and current Chelsea benchwarmer Steve Sidwell. Now, according to the Vital Chelsea [...]

By: Lucas | No Comments
Before this game, most Sunderland fans would have told you that, reasonably, a draw against one of the better teams in the league would have been OK. After this game, having looked at the statistics - Villa had a clear advantage in shots, corners, possession, etc. - most Sunderland fans would have been happy [...]
Stolen Points

1-1 draw vs Villa.
I’ll have more thoughts up later after I get back from shopping for a Nintento Wii (yes!). For now I’ll let Roy Keane tell you what he thinks about Danny Collins‘ disallowed goal at the death, and the 2 points stolen from us by referee Steve Bennett in front of 43,000 [...]

Dickson Etuhu was arrested in the wee hours of Sunday morning in a Norwich nightclub, following a brawl in which a man “lost his front teeth in the scuffle.” Etuhu, who played two seasons for Norwich City, was in the nightclub with a friend (or relative?), who was also arrested after the fight.
Is this [...]

I turned on my computer this morning and was met by an inbox fairly bursting with juicy tidbits regarding the approaching January transfer window (and the £20 million with which Niall Quinn and the Drumaville boys will be arming Roy Keane):
Defense is an area of utmost concern for Sunderland, who have only two clean sheets [...]
Chelsea reactions: Terry is sacrosanct; Pizarro is a punk
By: Lucas | 2 Comments
In the dying minutes of Sunderland’s 2-0 loss to Chelsea last Saturday, Liam Miller made a rash tackle on John Terry. The two fell in a heap, and when they got up Terry was in Miller’s face, giving him an earful. As Miller walked away, Chelsea substitute Claudio Pizarro pulled a classless punk [...]
