I’d just like to apologise - well sort of - to Roy Keane. You see, the Irishman went off on one after the 2-1 defeat to Manchester City on Saturday because he’d read people in the newspapers saying Sunderland would be safe this season, even though they were still not mathematically so.
Well I was one of them, but I stand by my comments. There are too many team below them and they have too many points in the bag to go down, despite last Saturday’s setback. However, if I’m wrong I’ll personally smash an egg off my forehead and then wipe it off.
And another thing Roy, surely it's not imy fault your players, as you put it, have taken their eye off the ball. They should listen to their manager not me. I mean what do I know?
And there was me thinking nobody in football, as most managers I've spoken to regularly stress, ever read the papers anyway!
Oh no, of course you don't, you just happen to know every single thing that has been written about you and your team, good or bad - but particularly bad!
Next thing you'll be trying to tell me is that actors don't read the reviews of their plays and chefs don't salivate over a glowing restaurant review!
