Sunderland AFC`s run in looks a lot better than some of our rivals, although we do have to face Man Utd one more time finishing off with Chelsea on the the final day of our season, but i think we stand a good chance to get enough points from our remaining 4 aways and 4 home games. West Ham has never been the happiest hunting ground for us through most seasons, but i think we bring a Squad that can easily compete with the Hammers and with Djib still laying foundations to make his loan spell a permanent move i have got a good feeling about this one. Kenwynne may have had his head temporarily turned by Harry in recent weeks and months but again this is another player that is believing in Quinnys vision for our Club and the lure of big bucks will certainly tempt him again i am sure, but King Kenwynne had enough about him to spurn the advances of other clubs and look to continue his great start to his career at Sunderland. More rumours flying around that our rivals Newcastle will be entered into administration by Mr Ashley if they fail to stay up, again this is just a rumour for the hard to sell club, but a spell in the lower leagues may just ground their fans. For too long they have believed that they have sole right of position to be within Europe and with the gazillions of squid they have spent on player transfers you could understand their frustrations, but no club has a sole right to be anywhere. Their continued revolving door of management will keep on swinging, Bobby Robson was their man and Freddy Shepard let the fella go after a bad start to the season, big mistake. Great news for Jack Colback who has been called up to the u20`s squad for tonights friendly against Italy (we also have another 14 youth team players on international duty), the experience will do our reserves captain no end of good and let`s hope we get to see him at least in the full team squad soon. It`s been a bit of an inconsistent season to say the least, sometimes brilliant football sometimes downright embarrasing but we have become used to that though by now, yes we need to kick on to the next level and with the backing of Ellis Short behind us along with the DC (yet more rumours of a total buy out by Short) we can still compete in the highest league in English football and get back to at least a level of consistency and shake that yoyo tag, no i do not expect us to be stomping into Europe anytime soon but a feeling of being able to hold our own without the maulings and defeats that clubs like Everton have reaped upon us would not go amiss. Saturdays trip to London after a decent international break (i could well do with a cheap holiday myself)and the return of Kieron "the mag destroyer" Richardson to the squad will bring us 3 points via single goal from the Djib.
