To their credit, when the wheels (and a couple of passengers!) fell off the Black Cats' Gus Bus they put up a fight. Unlike the mags in the 2-3 capitulation at Sid James' Park
Ironic that the player in our side who always puts his body on the line, and is rarely, if ever, found wanting, is the one who the mackems still refer to as McShambles. He may not be the most talented player ever to grace a football pitch, but he does the simple, ugly stuff really well. That's often what's missing when a team starts to implode. Probably the greatest irony though, is that the man who many Sunderland fans blame for the root cause of their problems in recent seasons turns out to be quite an astute manager when it comes down to it.
Cattermole is probably Sunderland's best player...but a complete liability. Altidore - 1 goal in 40 PL matches. Not even worthy of being called a footballer IMO.
City 'til I die
