Maybe he needs a while to brood before working out who's fault it it. He can then take them out at thigh level. Watch the tackle again I'm not sure he should be allowed in football.

Good performance against United yesterday - the team should great defensive play and were unlucky to concede how they did in injury time.

Newcastle supporters hijacked the board and have a Geordian agenda, sectarian almost, they'll destroy their own club, Arsenal fan's are in the process of destroying their own club, Birmingham City got booed by their own team and ended up getting relegated, when the supporters boo it hurts, Sunderland fan's have helped to push Keane out there's no doubting that, a man who has made the light shine for those that booed, consumer supporters.

It's interesting to read over the 50+ pages (yes, I have that sort of spare time) and see the fairly even divide between those who hail the ex-Sunderland manager as some great player/superb manager and those who like me regard his entire career as a terrible scar on UK/English football.
I wont name him: He's that much of an evil, unpleasant charcter in my eyes and I've seen matches since the early 1950s and to me he ranks in the top 5 worst examples of win-at-any-and-all-costs. A monster who betrayed every aspect of the "sport" to further his own very limited skill base. Thank goodness he is gone!

Is it just me or is every other Sunderland fan sick of hearing fans of other teams commenting on this situation.I go home and away i've missed a handful of games in the 18 years i've been supporting my Sunderland. I never missed a game with RK in charge including the mid week 3-0 drubbing by Luton Town in the Carling Cup last season. So I think I can comment with a greater degree of accuracy than those other fans (especially Man Utd fans) who think they know it all!!!--- Why do people keep saying the fans drove him away?? Were you there?? Were you on the terraces with us singing there's only one Keano?? The fans had nothing but the ultimate respect for him, he gained legendary status after 1 season, we appreciated everything he did, anyone that has said we didn't is sorely mistaken. We are just frustrated he let us down!! Frustration is what you are seeing not hate or a lack of respect!! He was a brilliant manager that bottled it but we'll never forget what he did for the club. We need a new manager to steady the ship and quick because relegation after all the investment would be devastating.
As a side note at Old Trafford on Saturday night we (the Sunderland fans) totally outclassed the prawn sandwich brigade, absolutely brilliant!!

In response to Scottishfootieisbakes comment, no one has to spend huge money unwisely! That is what Keane did.

it is crazy to talk about Villa and Spurs being able to do this or that but it doesn't excuse £5m or £10m being spent here and there on very average players such as Chopra or Richardson.

Amnd look at Arsenal and Arsene Wenger - he hasn't spent anything like this. Somebody told me that when Arsenal played Sunderland earlier this season, Arsenals team was cheaper than Sunderlands! This is crazy, but it is because Wenger usually spends wisely and can spot a player - often young - which enables him to pay low money. Keane doesn't have this same skill which is why he spent £70m on duds.

I think the word you are looking for is "Poach".
