O'Shea back in Sunderland's starting line-up for today's game against Spurs. Takes the place of the ineligible Danny Rose.

Screamer from O'Shea for his first Sunderland goal
One of the best goals you'll ever see.
Gone off on 67 minutes with a hamstring injury

"We lost because we didn't win"- Ronaldo
He doesn't score many but he is fairly deadly from 5 yards out into an open goal - hardly ever misses.
Got a bit shown up for Spurs' second, Lennon got the ball past him all too easily.

Penalty and red card for O'Shea after a desperate lunge in the box. As soon as my phone showed a red card for Sunderland, I had this nasty feeling it was our John.
Nice to see that you are tuning into your feminine side, Charlie.

JOSH: Keane will be missed when he is gone.

No Somos muchos pero estamos locos.
Claims he basically led ousting of Di Canio at Sunderland: http://www.express.co.uk/sport/footb...Paolo-Di-Canio
On the whole of it, I'd actually say that's a positive for O'Shea, considering the manic way Di Canio was acting.

To go from Fergie (who I despise but grudgingly admire) to DiCanio (who is allegedly talented but completely insane) must have been a hard transition.
I'd have much respect for O'Shea for helping get rid of him. I couldn't believe DiCanio's antics in the last week, from putting out the red rag to Sessegnon to his bizarre posturings to the Sunderland fans after the game.
Some crazy stuff in the i-paper here today about the detail of his reign, cant link but some of it was just power happy directionless abuse. Youth players not allowed to even enter training facilities / gym if as much as one first team player was in there, even though the gym is massive. Kitchen staff not being allowed to be on familiar terms with first team members during meal service. (the club has denied eye contact between those serving food to the elite men of the first team was banned)
All supposed to foster an aura around the first team squad, who he then continually publicly rubbished anyway. Directionless dictatorship, but then they bought it like they saw it I guess, hire a fascist admirer, give him power and reap your rewards.
Josh is the captain, the article just says he represented player views to the CEO Maggie Byrne.
A far cry from a roots led revolution that ousted the tyrant with Josh leading the onslaught against the barricades.
Probably it would be perceived as sour grapes if Josh led the charge. He was probably invited to a meeting to confirm that Di Canio had in fact lost the dressing room.
The 3-0 against Newcastle bought him a great amount of love from the fanbase, but it was eroded so fast. Some of the stories, like ice being banned from soft drinks, sound too crazy to be true.

Sounds like a right nutter, no surprise he lost the dressing room, good that John showed leadership in helping
get rid, seems Di Canio made the mistake of not having O'Shea imprisoned, shot or 'disappeared'.
If you are running a dictatorship you have to go the whole hog, half measures won't do it.
Had a compo for the Villa v Sunderland game yesterday, have to give a special mention to John OShea.
He was outstanding, Benteke never got a look in, first class performance from JOSH.
Clark did well too.
Long may it continue.(No pun intended)
Nice of Nigel Pearson to give you the day off, doc.
