Very good buy for Sunderland that!

Chuffed with that.

I wonder who will be number one though? Mannone was player of the year last season.

If rather we kept Westwood than this guy

Westwood was gooseberry fool when he was given a chance at the start of the season.

[Buffalo]

Tch, Pantillimon isn't exactly a world beater neither.

[Spindash]

He's alright. Doesn't make many huge errors and is good in the air but can concede goals from shots you'd expect him to save. Good backup for us but was never going to displace Hart in the long term.

Dons v dons again.

Why have cobblers drawn wolves again. I swear that 3 years in a row we've had them in one comp or another. I think we had them twice 2 years ago as well.

I want Palace to be away (because I'm on holiday), but I don't think that's the actual fixture list unfortunately...
