I wouldn't mind going for former football legends to become our new manager if we sack Pardew:
Marco Van Basten
Gheorghe Hagi
Hernan Crespo
Andriy Shevchenko
Who would be your favourite out of that list?

Only van basten has a sort of managerial pedigree from that list.
why does it have to be a legend?

It would just be nice because they have good knowledge. Hagi has managed well before

Can I ask something i'm a sunderland fan and you've just won your last two games and your thinking about sacking Pardew why?

Dear sunderland fan, it's because a manager in toon can never win unless he has some sort of history with the club. pards doesn't so no matter how good things are going there'll be a small majority that don't want him.
i guess that's the same at any club. if moyes wins the fa cup but finishes 4th there'll be a few who want him out.

no English players in starting 11, shamful

Hows it shameful, you know I really don't get statements like this. They're always going on about how we need more english players in the league, well for that they need to make academies, coaching A LOT better. Bundesliga could very well over take the prem, they have a very good youth system and structure. Zaha 16mil, we got sissoko, haidara, gouffran, mbiwa, debuchy for 18mil! And they're all top players!
English players are so overpriced and you only find very few that don't play for clubs like arsenal man u chelsea. For the premier league to be the best league, you need the quality of foreign players AND english players. There's a lot more to it, but a better youth system and structure should of been put in place years ago.

We were an english club a proud north east club, can't beleive no english players on show, let alone geordies, i'm sure if we had some english players they could get us to the dizzy heights of 6th bottom.

We are playing at the very top of the game.

We could have an all English side, but we would be playing in the Championship or lower.

Isn't there enough teams down there with English players?

If the quality comes through they will be given a chance. We cannot make home grown talent good enough for the Premier League just magically appear.

If we have a youth system and attempt to produce players, then we are doing what we can.

It was only a year ago we had the 2nd most amount of English players in our squad, out of all the Premier League. We have tried.

We have got English players, but Raylor's crocked, Dummett's behind Santon, Remy's better than either Ameobi, Campbell's not ready, Mapou's miles better than Saylor, etc etc. So you'd prefer us to field a quota of English players? You're not right in the head, m8. Vic

Dumment is Welsh mate.

OK, pedant, Welsh is foreign. You win. Vic

I am certainly not pedant just merely pointing out that drumment is not English. Don't take it personally.

If anyone needed convincing that Cisse is hopeless it was in front of them today.
But A good all-round performance with HBA again the star, and the full backs had great games. Cabaye poor but possibly due to lack of match fitness

Upward and onward win these type of games we will be OK but watch for the top 6 teams because we just can not compete.

Ben arfa wasn't the only star, debuchy sissoko and tiote were fantastic I think, and our play didn't revolve around benny too much!

Great first half really impressed with whole team everyone look comfortable. Second half Villa came into it but you expect that from the home team. Overall very pleasing performance. Maybe Pardew has learnt something from last term.

I thought Cisse did an excellent job with his movement, he was dragging defenders away from goal which led to the players around him getting space.

Geez Cisee is there to score goals he is very poor & the reason we supposedly tried to sign a striker
He cannot control the ball and his passing is hopeless
Players that JT Toon mention just did the job they have not been doing

HBA is a different class & if he continues he will fulfil Ashley's dreams and sold along with Cabaye

On the meantime enjoy the result

Cisse had a hand (or foot) in both goals.

I am actually glad we did not sign any more players, just look at how the team gelled and carved Villa up. Everything is clicking in to place. If we signed a few players the team may have gone backwards trying to adapt. The players are all on the same wavelength.

We could have beat Villa by more.

We only won something like 2 games away last season, we just won our first away game since playing City. Big big improvement.

I wonder how Sunderland got on lol.

Spot on mate, we may have been lucky with the agbonlahor chance, but we should of had a penalty! Remy looks good, I think cisse needs to get a turn on the bench because remy will have more chances and more confident atm,

Sunderland got Robbed by a ref, fair enough good result for you lot but just because you won 2 games doesn't mean you are great, where are your cockney mafia haters at? eh! it will go wrong soon enough!

JT Toon no wonder Ashley thinks he can walk on water with fans like you Enjoy the time & be positive but be real to yourself we have a very long way to go
before you start shouting the oddsmaker also think Cisse is a liability it is like playing with 10 men

Whats the point of being negative when you're teams doing well?

And to the SMB, I think its already gone wrong for sunderland!

The only people worried about sunderland are non sunderland fans. The sunderland fans with a brain cell know we are improving, results may not show it but were starting to gel, it takes time. Were in this for the long term and in about another two or three games we will be fine.

Dear me, the poor blinkered Mackem.
