Captain. Leader. Legend. Haterz gonna hate, but Fella’s gonna regulate! Here’s 5 things we learned: 1. Goals are good.  

(@Benglorious) David Moyes has gone from the heady heights of success with Everton, had a lucky escape from the quagmire that is Manchester United and is now back on top again at the Premiership League’s biggest club-that-plays-in-red-and-white-and-also-won-the-1973-FA-Cup-final.

Stay patient, Sunderlishmen and women. Opposition Summary: Sunderland AFC […]

Think about that one while you’re illegally streaming the game probably. m Opposition summary: Sunderland used to be known as the Rokermen because their stadium was called Roker Park.
