Andy Reid(b 1982)

Reidy when fit last season was one of their better performers. Have a hunt for any match report from the guardian featuring Sunderland/Andy Reid and he'd get a mention of how well he played. Why would Bruce want rid? (He's already denied the rumour about wanting to ship him on anyway).

Bruce last year.

And Sunderland manager Steve Bruce admitted: `Andy has been arguably our best player for a month. Trap is a bit more experienced and better than I am so it is his call.

`All pre-season he has not missed a day's training. The penny has dropped with him, in his head. You have to be in some physical condition these days to play in the Premier League. If you are not physically capable you won't make it. That is what defines a Premier League to a Championship player.

`It is the physical condition. If you are not physically capable you can't do it. Andy deserves credit for that and not me. He thought to himself in the summer `I am going to go away and do something about it and not be ridiculed any more'.'

I'd love to see him back in the Ireland fold as a squad player but I know that will never happen now. He could still do a job for us IMO.

Reid came on with about 5mins to go today. Carrying a bit more weight than last year by the look of things (probably due to no game time with injury). Couple of nice touches but not enough time to give him a real chance to impress. Good to see him back.

The BBC text referred to him as "The barrel-chested Andy Reid"
So it wasn't an exaggeration?

Definetely "Big Boned". Still looked Sunderland's most likely player to put in a decent ball into the front three. Sunderland had tons of the ball but barely a decent ball into the box the whole game. Reid floated in one great ball from center midfield into the box that should have led to a goal. Did more in his short cameo than Zenden's 20 mins.

Zenden set up the equaliser.

Thankfully someone putting a stop to his musical career before it starts.

Let it go Trap. Let it go.

Jeez, Trappatoni never forgets or forgives ! ! !

Have a heart for a guitar picker's best friend

Rory Gallagher was probably was buried with his Fender Stratocaster

"this guitar is part of my psychic makeup. It's my best friend. I love playing it, I play it every day. It's not like B.B. King, who's had like a hundred Lucilles. I've only got one Strat, and it hasn't got a name or whatever. I mean, where I came from at the time, to own a Stratocaster was like, it was monumental, it was just impossible, you know, and it's what it is. I love playing it"

"In the flinty light, it's midnight,
And stars collide.
Shadows run, in full flight,
To run, seek and hide. "

As that photo shows, long hair and guant looks do a cool guitarist make. So Stephen Hunt with an axe is OK, Paddy McCourt would have fit in well with Pink Floyd (long meandering solo runs that go nowhere, and probably not to Nigel Worthington's taste) but Andy Reid.....


Nah.

I dunno, looks like Andy has a readymade role should this guy ever decide to retire...

Next we will be hearing his boots have gone missing :)
