    Well done to the Sunderland lads, they won the league tonight with a 2-1 win over West Ham.

    Special mention must go to Stephen Elliot, who scored the goal that won them the match but more importantly, the League tonight. Good signs for Ireland indeed.

    /edit Just saw the goal on Sky there now, great finish

    Elliott's 16th goal of the season, not bad for a first season. Sunderland will stay up next season. :)

    I can definitely see Sunderland staying up next year. Was surprised to see them go down in the first place tbh.

    It will be interesting to see if the Irish contingent can make the jump to the Premier level. Including Mick McCarthy of course. Im not convinced they will and I think we will see some names like Elliot and Thornton being replaced by foreign journeymen. I dont think Mick will be given a huge warchest but he will need to strengthen his squad. His is of course, loyal to a fault but this time he has pressure from above and from the stands.

    a friend who supports Sunderland thinks that next season they can repeat their 7th place Premiership finishes of a few seasons back

    17th more like it.

    Problem for Wigan is that they may have to change the whole team around. Sunderland have some premiership quality players but I feel the Wigan team, although deserved 2nd place finishers if they get it, havent got the sort of depth in class that the Black Cats have.

    40 million though! Hopefuly they'll buy Rio and we'll be shut of him. :)
