Interested in Sunderland? I'm glad we didn't get him, this shows how loyall he is.
Hopefuly he does terrible at blackburn.

I hope he does too, starting this Saturday.

So you hope he does terrible because he chose a more prestigious club?

:$ the jealously radiating off your post is of an unbelievably high level.

He said he would love to work at Sunderland and that he's always been a big fan of us.
This is also after last time we offered him the job and he turned it down.

We want Curbs anyway. Meh, Blackburn are gna start playing dirty, physical and hoofing the ball plenty. But they'll stay up.

... because everything you hear in the media is true.

Even if he's quoted saying, he didn't say "Sunderland are the only team for me, I love Sunderland, I want to **** Sunderland up the arse because they're that damn good", he said he'd like the job because he was out of a job and wanted to get back into the business.

I think you've misunderstood him. He just wanted a job, not Sunderland in particular. Blackburn are a bigger and better club, so it has a better appeal.

Not exactly a bigger club.

Also, if he came here our new executive person is offering £80m in January to spend - which I don't think Blackburn will be offering him. So he could've actually built a better squad here. Oh well.

Blackburn are a bigger club in most ways and Keane spent a **** load in the summer so where you're getting these ridiculous 'facts' from I really don't know. All I know is that you're jealous and making a load of crap up and taking bullpiss from the media to try and justify yourself.

How many times have Sunderland won the premier league then? :P

Most of Blackburn's players minus Bentley were there last year. That squad got them into Europe and into the top half over the last few seasons. I do think Allardyce is a good manager, and the right man to give the players a good kick up the ass and get some results. All those moaning about his long ball tactics... he got Bolton into the premier league and Europe from nothing... it might not be good football but it got him results. (and a team which were hard to beat)
