Sunderland players "score" on video

Shame for Black Cats

Since the arrival of Roy Keane at Sunderland we have all been waiting for the new boss to get the opportunity of demonstrating exactly what he has learned in terms of man management from those mentors he used to play for, Alex Ferguson and Brian Clough.

Now it looks as though he has the perfect chance to practice his 'hair drying' techniques with the release of the news that current Sunderland striker Chris Brown, on loan midfielder Liam Lawrence, and loan ranger goalkeeper Ben Alnwick have been starring in a seven minute video "scoring" away from home. The gang, along with former Black Cat Martin Woods were filmed enjoying some extra mural activities with a female brunette going by the name of "Stevie".

Lawrence is reported to have given a running commentary on the event but it is not known if Alnwick managed to keep a clean sheet!

Vague reminders of the Melanie Sykes affair, which saw the selling of Chris Makin by Peter Reid and the soon to follow departure of Nicky Summerbee.

I guess that Keane will be "pulling" out all the stops to make Lawrence's venture to "Poke" City a permanent move, and Alnwick's move to Spurs is more or less a done deal anyway. Expect to see some movement in the transfer market in January, the players have made it easier for Keane to determine their futures.
