Say hello to the lovely Madison Makenzie. 21 year old Madison is a hot favourite for Miss UK
Football Finder 2009 with her victory demolition in the Sexy Football League season 3.
In Premiership Talk's daily roundup of transfer rumors, the Darren Bent to Sunderland rumor was
brushed off a little too easily. It is now understood that Roy Keane is prepared to make Darren
Bent the highest paid player in Sunderland history.
With Kenwyne Jones set to miss the start of the season, the Black Cats are eager to add a striker
to their ranks, and Darren Bent would be a perfect fit for the northern club.
There are just ten days left before the transfer window slams shut for four months, and the Black
Cats are in the hunt for another haul of players. Not content with the likes of Diouf, Tainio,
Malbranque and Chimbonda, Roy Keane is looking to further strengthen his defence and attack ...
It's time for the thrilling climax to our look at the new Premier League shirts of 2008/09. Today,
we survey the last five teams in alphabetical order, so let's begin with...
Sunderland
Another case of Umbro tidying up the over-proliferation of diamonds here as they give the Black
Cats a much cleaner-looking and rather swish home shirt.
After a summer of spending, it's perfectly natural that the Black Cats would have to release the
odd player or two. While Roy Keane has bemoaned the fact that a lot of his squad members would
prefer to sit on the bench / play for the reserves than get first-team ...
Great looking, isn't it? Available for pre-order now at the club's official site. And SAFC is running a competition where customers preordering the new away kit can win a chance to train with the Black Cats in the Stadium of Light. Myself, I am not moved by this prospect, .
Backed by the loudest supporters in the Premier League last season, measured at average peak volume
at 129.2 decibels, almost as loud as a jet, Sunderland will look to improve on last season's
respectable 15th-place finish. The Black Cats were the only newly-promoted team to survive in the
Premiership, an accomplishment in itself, but [.
Roy Keane looks set to make his first signing of the summer. Stephen Hunt, an Ireland
international, looks like he'll be on his way to the Black Cats this summer after having a move
blocked in January. With Reading relegated, Hunt will be ecstatic to jump straight back into the
Premier League. We'll see if this move becomes official within the next few weeks.
Roy Keane has reportedly had a £4m offer for Manchester United midfielder Darren Fletcher
rejected by the Premier League champions. The Black Cats boss may return with a £5m bid but it
isn't believed that Sir Alex Ferguson wants to...
The Black Cats could also complete a £6m (Daily Mirror) or £8m (Independent) deal for
West Ham defender Anton Ferdinand this week. BBC SPORT | Football | Gossip | Monday's gossip
column. Reports like this have started making me feel as though our new owners have taken West Ham
back to the days of being a selling [.
Come to Wearside, my pretties These days Roy Keane and Sunderland seem to be
taking a Panini sticker approach to the transfer market ("got, got, got, need, got").
Either that or they have drafted in Barry Fry to work behind the scenes because the Black Cats seem
to be assembling a HUGE squad.
One Spurs player may well have played his last game for the club, but only if Ramos gets the right
amount of cash for the faltering star. Roy Keane will this week try to convince Darren Bent that he
can re-ignite his England prospects at Sunderland. The Black Cats boss is desperate to land the
Spurs striker [.
According to the Sun, Sunderland manager and former Manchester United pussy cat, Roy Keane, has put
forward £14million for four Tottenham Hotspurs players.
Pascal Chimbonda, Steed Malbranque, Younes Kaboul and Teemu Tainio will all have talks with the
Sunderland as Spurs boss Juande Ramos attempts to unload as many as eleven players from a side that
ended up firmly in the middle of the table, while the Black Cats skirted above the relegation line
with just 39 points.
Sunderland have had a whopping £23 million joint bid for four Spurs players accepted by the
north Londoners. Reports from yesterday suggested that the Black Cats are keen to take Steed
Malbranque, Pascal Chimbonda, Teemu Tainio and Younes Kaboul to the Stadium of Light. Although
Kaboul's agent confirmed the player won't be joining the Wearsiders, Spurs seem [.
This flop is apparently only a medical away from ending his stuttering Tottenham career! PASCAL
Chimbonda is believed to be undergoing a medical at Sunderland today ahead of a move to the Stadium
of Light. Black Cats boss Roy Keane has had a joint bid - believed to be a massive ...
Pascal Chimbonda has finally completed his move to Sunderland, writes Craig Rodhouse. Black Cats
boss Roy Keane confirmed a few weeks ago that he had made a bid for Chimbonda, along with Tottenham
team mates Teemu Tainio, Younes Kaboul and Steed Malbranque. And Keane has now completed the second
signing of the quartet after Tainio joined [.
Sunderland Football: Keano's proving a slippery Black Cat as Tottenham are stunned
So Sunderland football and the FA Premier League do mix! Roy Keano is beginning to show signs of
not only being a fierce man motivator, but a real canny mover in the transfer market as well.
His Sunderland football side has been beefed up with proven Premiership players this year, and boy
does it show, and with Anton Ferdinand another likely arrival you really can't see Sunderland and
Keano boys struggling in the Premiership this year.
With one month of Premiership action out of the way, Premiership Talk reviews all twenty teams and
grades them based on their early season performances. Sunderland The Black Cats have quietly put
together a good side up north, and fans plan on avoiding the relegation battle that they saw last
season.
Gary Ablett has thrown down a League Cup gauntlet to his young starlets ahead of their clash with
Sunderland tonight.
With the Carling Cup third round tie against Crewe Alexandra beckoning at Anfield next Tuesday
night, Ablett is hoping the likes of Stephen Darby and Jay Spearing can impress manager Rafael
Benitez and give him a selection poser.
Roy Keane, a born winner We all know that Keano was a winner as a player, although his full name of
Roy Maurice Keane suggest otherwise. The Black Cats have been the classic yo-yo club over the past
few seasons, but after keeping them up with points to spare, we ask, is Roy Keane the real deal?
It seems like Roy Keane never rests and is always looking for players to bring to Sunderland. Looks
like he is ready to have his work payoff as Dorin Goian is ready to sign with the Black Cats. The
Steaua...
It goes without saying that everyone at some time or
another has wanted to inflict some serious pain on their boss. Even if my boss was, say, that girl
on the internet that can swallow a cucumber whole, I reckon ultimately I would still get pretty
annoyed with it all and just want to be left alone.
In what must be a frustrating summer for Sunderland boss Roy Keane, the Black Cats are now turning
their attention towards an ambitious move for Manchester United striker Louis Saha. Having already
failed to attract Darren Bent and Andy Johnson to the Stadium of Light, Keane is putting together a
bid for the injury prone French forward.
According to Dorin Goian's agent, the Romanian defender wants to join up with Sunderland. A fee has
been agreed between the Black Cats and his club Steaua Bucharest but have stumbled over VAT talks.
His agent, Peter Harrison, revealed the...
SPURS could finally get unwanted defender Younes Kaboul of their books this week. The French
defender appeared unhappy about moving to Sunderland this week, after the Black Cats included him
in a multiple deal that would also take team-mates Steed Malbranque, Pascal Chimbonda and Teemu
Tainio to the Stadium of Light.
After missing out on Scott Carson, Stoke City have turned their attention to Sunderland keeper
Marton Fulop. Stoke manager Tony Pulis has had his eye on the Black Cats back-up keeper for most of
the summer and are ready to...
Roy Keane claims to have agreed personal terms with 3, if not all 4 of the Tottenham players he put
bids in for last week. You know, the deal I said would never happen!
Keane said: "I wouldn't get bogged down with deals being done by today or tomorrow, but I
certainly hope they will be by the weekend.
A week or so back we posted a few comments from Sunderland keeper Craig Gordon describing how the
Black Cats players enjoy the chance to kick Roy Keane when he gets involved in 5-a-side. They
might've thought Keano was a hard coach, but even the great leg-breaker has nothing on this
fearsome chap. He is in fact our number one football bastard, a man who was quite literally a
lawless, inhumane tyrant.
Aston Villa have made a late bid to hi-jack Sunderland's bid for Tottenham defender Younes Kaboul.
The French centre-back has fallen out of favour at White Hart Lane and had been thought to be on
the verge of signing for Roy Keane's Black Cats side. But Martin O'Neill has reportedly made a
last-ditch effort to land the [.
Notable arrivals: Davide Petrucci (Roma). Possibility: Dimitar Berbatov (Tottenham). Notable
departures: Gerard Pique (Barcelona), Carlos Queiroz (Portugal) Possibility: Cristiano Ronaldo
(Real Madrid) Sunderland boss Roy Keane is looking back to his old club again as the Black Cats
boss has...
Two years ago, Sunderland were the laughing stock of the English Premier League. The Black Cats
finished the 2005/06 season with an embarrassing 15 points - a record only topped by Derby this
past season. A new era began at the club in 2006, though, as legendary midfielder Roy Keane was
appointed manager of the club.
I previously wrote about how much I hated the Olympics and what they do to football, but after
signing Keane, I'm suddenly not as worried. Keane can easily slip into a wing position and we can
cover Mascherano's position with the current roster. If Barry were to sign on soon, it would be
even easier.
Sunderland manager Roy Keane believes Liverpool will be favourites for the Premier League title
should they secure the signing of Aston Villa captain Gareth Barry.
In a saga to match that of Cristiano Ronaldo's mooted move to Real Madrid, Villa have rejected
three offers from The Reds as they hold out for the £18 million asking price they have placed
on the 27-year old's head.
Fernando Torres fired Liverpool to a scarcely deserved victory over Sunderland in their Premier
League opener at the Stadium of Light.
The striker, scorer of the winning goal in this year's European Championships final, was anonymous
for much of the evening as his partnership with £20m new boy Robbie Keane continued to
stutter, but he produced a vicious drive eight minutes from time to claim the points.
Veteran Liverpool centre back Sami Hyypia has praised his teammate Fernando Torres for his winning
strike in their opening Premier League match against Sunderland on Saturday.
Liverpool were finding it hard to break down the plucky Black Cats at the Stadium of Light, until
Torres unleashed a pile driver from outside the area.
Sunderland are in preliminary talks with West Ham centre-half Anton Ferdinand and are tracking
Manchester City's £1m-rated defender Michael Ball. (Daily Star) But Tottenham are monitoring
Ferdinand after the Hammers apparently rejected a £6m bid from the Black Cats. (Daily Mirror)

Manchester United defender Mikael Silvestre is on the brink of a £750,000 move to Sunderland.
The French defender has struggled for a first team place at Old Trafford in recent months due to
the terrific form of fellow countryman Patrice Evra.
The 31-year old has spent over nine years at the club, making 250 appearances in the process.
Roy Keane is planning a £15million triple swoop for Anton Ferdinand, Benni McCarthy and
Michael Ball.(The sun)Sunderland manager Keano is waiting to hear if West Ham defender Ferdinand
fancies a move to Wearside after Hammers boss Alan Curbishley accepted an £8m bid.Former
England Under-21 star Ferdinand, 23, is considering his options and will give Sunderland an answer
within the next 48 hours.
Djibril Cisse is set to spend the season on loan with Sunderland after the Black Cats agreed an
"agreement in principle" with Marseille over the transfer of the striker.Cisse has been
expected to head for England this season, with Manchester City among the clubs he was linked with,
particularly as his wife still lives in the north west.
Goodness me, aren't Sunderland being busy bees in the transfer market this summer? While the likes
of Everton and Newcastle struggle to rub two pennies together, the Black Cats laugh in the face of
the credit crunch by showing off a suitcase bulging with notes and thrusting it into the ...
