Great news that BSA is back in football up in Sunderland. Another opportunity to make a statement with a potentially big club and I think this time he may well do it. I'll bet the majority of those Sunderland fans will be relishing the prospect of what's to come and feeling more confident of staying up now. Anyway, let's hope they get behind him and give him a chance and go and shove it up their ignorant Tyneside neighbours. Good luck Sam.

You mean back home at Notts County rftr?? ?? Nott on your nelly W63, he's never played for the County, he's got Bolton blood through and through:) although he really has had more clubs than Jack Nicklaus. He'll surely stave off relegation yet again and Sunderland in Europe!! Could NL be the new BSA? Fraid not...  |

Heard a PaddyPower promotional advert on the radio. Along the lines of "To celebrate the first match of one of the most successful, characteristic and successful managers in Europe we're giving a free bet on this Saturdays match....Good Luck Big Sam" My first thought he is now the butt of the joke, a bit of a laughing stock.
Ok, I may be overthinking it and it was just a joke to contrast the Klopp hype but not long ago Sam would have been linked with the Liverpool job. On merit. Has he been that bad since? A pretty unspectacular stint at Newcastle and solid enough at Blackburn. Took West Ham back from the Championship, when you look at ourselves, Wigan, Blackburn, Wolves, Fulham and QPR doesn't seem like such an inevitability as it did then.
Not only did he get keep them up but he got them comfortable and the first six months he got them competing for a top 4 job and although he had money he was hardly given a blank cheque. In that he probably did a similar role to a Ronald Koeman but whilst one still has a good opinion in the game Sam is reduced to a long ball merchant.

Sam does not need any luck his know how will be enough to see Sunderland finish half way at the end of the season.

Watching Sams first, well second- first for Sunderland, Tyne Wear derby I can't help but think of the quote "I'd rather be a lucky leader than a good one" paraphrasing that but it seems true. I have no idea how Newcastle got nothing from that. Even with 10 men they were the better team, got caught three times and punished each time. Even Kaboul turned into Pirlo for a minute to give Fletcher their 3rd. And like against us Burnley have picked up another 3 points this weekend looking very average.
Lennon maybe a good leader than isn't lucky but there's also a couple of sayings "you create your own luck" and a favourite I think from Golfer Garry Player "the more I practise the luckier I get". Really don't think Lennon is training these guys as well as he should be. Otherwise Casado would have a few more assist, he has great delivery.

Sunderland not won for 12 matches then yours truly takes charge and hey presto a 3-0 win, for me it was a home banker so well done Sam.
