By: Lucas | Comments No Comments

New signing Phil Bardsley slots right into the starting IX today at the SOL, moving McShane once again to the bench. Our backline looks strong, potentially as good as the defense that shut out Pompey a couple weeks ago: Bardsley and Danny Collins with Nyron and Jonny Evans in the center.

By: Lucas | Comments No Comments

An article in today’s Sunderland Echo tells us that Sunderland fans are pleased as punch that Kevin Keegan has been hired on again as the Mags’ manager.
