put a few saddos on here in their place who thought they were cool as fuck talking to Henderson

[Marlon Brendo]

i thought it was strange when Jordy asked if i wanted to go pet his puppies

[andy78]

however none of Sunderland's first team squad have social network accounts and the club has no plans to introduce them.

Does that mean the David Meyler facebook account that got so much attention on here was by another imposter?

[Billy The Kid]

hahahahaha, how much of cock do you feel that were "friends" with meyler and announcing to smb his status updates

[JohnnyWheeltrim]

Absolutely class. Shows up some some of the idiots on this board. "Narrrh man, it is Henderson, his mates, mams friends dog cuts my hair and said it was him".

I think some old threads need digging up

[Guinness Guzzler]

to be honest, i would imagine some of them do have genuine facebook accounts- after all, many of the young lads will be away from friends/ family etc and it is an easy way of keeping in touch with them (and an easy way of getting a bit minge like). The only thing is that probably neither they nor the club will particularly want fans joining up and "talking" to the them, hence saying that none of them have accounts

I'm really Craig Gordon

This is the key line

The club has stressed that no first team players have any official player profile pages on any social networking sites.

IF it is the player, it is not officially sanctioned by the club.
