Salut! Sunderland‘s daily newspaper of choice, when not in France, is The Guardian, just as its preferred Sunday read is The Observer. It would love there to be a whole day without Graun suits warning of cutbacks and crisis (OK, that’s an exaggeration; a whole month would be fairer.).
But for now, let us just repeat one or two of the questions posed in today’s Guardian on a subject close to our hearts: Kevin Phillips.
It would be wrong to reproduce the whole quiz – not that such an impediment would put off every website we could think of – but probably acceptable to offer some of those most readily applicable to Sunderland supporters. Follow the link* to see the quiz in full:

I only got five when I attempted it yesterday. They compared me to Michael Ricketts. 🙁
He’s really terrific….i think he deserve to be love by the people..He’s really aggressive in all his goal.Such a great video.
I tried it earlier and scored 10/10!!!!
The question, though, about his first goal (for Southampton) I did get lucky – my answer was a complete guess!
