Eh, it's a preseason game with us missing a ton of starters and subbing in some others. Also giving certain players trials.
I've been worried this offseason with the lack of signings, but Guthrie looks damn good, Guttierez should be exciting, we've now added Coloccini, and we're set to go after and should probably get Baptista. Martins will also be back, Owen's not going anywhere IMO, and Viduka will soon be healthy again. We might have a rough start to the season due to injuries, and we may not challenge for Europe because of it, but by season's end we'll be the talk of the league. King Kev will get us there.

I really like this signing. Keano is the type of manager who can keep an excitable player like Diouf in line. Sunderland need players with lots of EPL and international experience.
Diouf didn't score many goals last season, but he was a big part of keeping olton in the Prem. after Anelka left. He should be good cover until Jones gets back.
Black Cats seal Diouf deal
Diouf becomes Keane's fifth signing of the summer
Last updated: 28th July 2008
Sunderland have completed the signing of El Hadji Diouf from Bolton.
Diouf has inked a four-year deal at the Stadium of Light after passing a medical and agreeing personal terms.
The Senegalese international had been seeking a move away from Bolton since the end of last season and Sunderland have now taken him to Wearside.
Diouf is Sunderland's fifth signing of the summer and Black Cats manager Roy Keane was delighted to land the colourful forward.
"El Hadji is a great signing for us and we're thrilled to get him in," Keane told the club's official website.
"He has bags of Premier League and international experience, which is exactly what we've been targeting this summer.
Love to hate
"El Hadji has always been the kind of player opposition teams and supporters love to hate, a thorn in the side, and that's why we're delighted to now have him in our squad.
"Our coach, Ricky Sbragia, has also worked very closely with him and speaks extremely highly of him, so we're looking forward to working with El Hadji, I think he's a signing that will excite our supporters."
Not coming re Keano tonight. He was just interviewed and said that he should have tried the tactic of taking him to a casino at 4am a def dig at a certain Portsmouth manager!!!
freaking love Keano like

I know a lot of you are big Sunday fans--but is anybody a fan of any teams outside of the EPL? I'm thinking it might be worth it (if there is) to make a couple new threads for La Liga, English Premiere League, Bundesliga, Serie A, etc. Of course, if I'm the only one following teams in those other leagues, it'd be pretty lonely.

I follow Roma and Barcelona. And a couple of other teams in Italy and Spain. A few other lads on here do as well.

Do it, man. It'll give me a chance to follow those leagues at least a little bit. I barely have time to follow the EPL, which is one of a few reasons I don't much get to follow MLS.

I'm a huge Barca fan. Barca and Sunderland are the clubs I follow on a day-to-day basis.
I'm a more casual fan of Torino (mainly because of their tragic history) and Roma in Serie A. I sort of like St. Etienne in Ligue 1. I don't really have a favorite club in the Bundesliga or Eredivisie.
I like Bilbao in Spain and try watch them whenever Sky have them on over here and have a bit of a soft spot for Inter in Italy because of their English links.
