Oh how I chuckled

The Fiver is doing it's annual awards again (so they can claim 2 weeks on the couch drinking beer and eating crisps), and the mackems managed to win an award. Details below....

THE MIRACLE WORKING GOD OF THE YEAR

Never mind Paul Jewell or Bryan Robson, Sunderland manager Mick McCarthy is the deserving recipient of this award. Despite being lumbered with a squad assembled so cheaply that Gary Breen is the only household name in a team of players that would struggle to be recognised in their own living rooms, Barnsley's favourite son of Ireland has masterminded one win and two draws, earning an unlikely five Premiership points out of a possible 51 to date this season.
