Our season doesn't even start for another 2 weeks and already we have something to smile about.


In all seriousness I think Quinny appointing himself as manager could turn out to be a huge mistake.

To be fair to him he did say that himself too.

The Derby v Saints game turned into a cracker in the second half. Southampton looked like a strong side that just need to get the hours in for their new players to click properly. If you're in the championship, you want to be playing them now rather than 4 weeks hence.

Yeah I appreciate that. It wasn't meant to be a criticism of him.

Always liked Quinny myself so I hope he can get a proper manager in before things go tits up and the fans start turning on him and forget that he was once a Sunderland hero.

Much the same reason why I don't want Shearer to ever take over for us.

May be past his prime, but still a great defender.

Winehaus imports wines from South Germany. The Baden-Wurttemberg region makes dry reds and whites, and with its warmer climate, stylistically has much in common with Burgundy.

And they say the word "great" is used far too often theses days ;)

Even if he was now only a good defender the fact none of the bigger clubs wanted him on a free speaks volumes.

I would have still had him for a year at Newcastle mind. Would have been good experience for Taylor, Ramage and Bramble. Although I fear only a brain transplant could save Bramble.

Weren't many better players for Arsenal against Barcalona. The guy can still play.

He's younger than Primus or Stefanovic I believe. And he brings a ton of experience. Not many teams would be either able to pay his salary or (in the case of the bigger clubs) willing to. Not saying the guy is going to take us to the top, but if we can sign a good midfielder and a good forward we'll be mid-table calibre.

The other advantage to signing Campbell, no need to pay the outragrous fees people want Pompey to pay now we have some cash. "Oooh Portsmouth are rich, we'll make them pay ... 6 mill for a washed up defender" .. fuck that.

Of course the big guy might get injured. Then we're screwed :)

(Edit : You know, there's also the possibility he wanted to go to Portsmouth? Where he gets to be da boss of the team.)
(2nd Edit : Bigger clubs intrested : Newcastle, Man City, Marseille, Fenerbahnce ...)

10 man Hearts lose in extra time after looking limited most of the game - that's really complicated the trip to Athens.
