It is no secret that Man U will be looking to upset Keanos return to Old
Trafford by taking all 3 points against us, regardless of the reception he will get.
Roy Keane as we all know spent a lot of effort and time doing all he could on the pitch as a Captain and player for the Red Devils, but when he returns to his former employers with the Black Cats tomorrow all allegiances with Fergie and co will be set aside for the full duration of the match of that i am sure. He will be sending the lads on with a no fear attitude and he will be telling them not to be in awe of the occasion or the players they will be facing.
Football can be a complete leveller regardless of the skill gap and Keano and his backroom have the knowledge to upset Alex Fergusons team of superstars, into the mix there are a few factors that need to go our way including a bit of luck.
Mickey Chopra will be looking to add to his goal tally and i don`t care if he does take his top off when he celebrates his goal exposing his Newcastle tattoo, as long as the scoreboard shows Sunderland off the mark, whether we hold or go on to win this one or not though will be the test that the lads are looking for.
We may still be lacking in a few areas of our team and we have not exactly had the most forgiving in regards of opening fixtures, we still have the opportunity to make a real impression in the league.
Roy has undoubtedly in my opinion snapped up a player of real quality in Ian Harte on a free transfer, a fantastic left foot that will no doubt be first choice for set plays in and around the box, a proven international that Keano himself played alongside and obviously never forgot.
Andy Cole may be in the latter years of his career but he still has the ability and quality to score goals and he will be aiming towards the 200 goal mark so he will be fighting for his chances to achieve his targets.
This weeks Carling Cup exit does not really need too much said about it, yes we lost to Luton but hey move on. The real concern this week has got to be Clive Clarkes heart attacks during half time at the Walkers Stadium, which both Leicester and Nottingham Forest gaffers agreed to abandon. You can wish Clive well here.
