Kenwyne the penguin. I f*cking hate Stoke. Anti-football. I dislike Blackburn and Bolton as well, but they'll stay up.

I can't wait for Old Trafford on Monday. Not fair that everyone plays today and tomorrow and I have to wait.

Oh yeah, thats how i feel about Cattermole. He can be vital to us when hes available for selection but he was suspended so frequently last season that we never really managed to get the Cana/Cattermole partnership establoished. Together they could have been an absolute rock in the middle but when Cattermole wasn't suspended, Cana was. Now Cana is gone and we don't really have another Cattermole-like option in the middle so I was hoping to see him available more than last season. I guess if you take that part of his game away from him though then you lose everything that he gives you, in terms of determination and drive and quite frankly aggression.

Stoke are just full of ex Sunderland players now. It's ridiculous. Kenwyne CAN be unplayable when he's on it, he can be absolute class. But those games don't come around so often. Keane seemed to love the guy but Bruce just never seemed impressed, especially with his work rate. I have no ill feeling toward Jones at all but i have to admit, it did tickle me a bit to see that he went off injured just minutes into his Stoke debut.

I'm looking forward to Monday night too, Stunt. I'm looking forward to seeing your lot welcoming the Toon back to the Premiership with style.
