Any Black Cats supporters out there?
As someone from Toronto, I'm just curious what you think of the Jermain Defoe for Jozy Altidore (plus a bit of cash) swap. Strike's me that Defoe's still a quality striker when he's healthy/motivated. Was Altidore really as shit as everyone's been saying?

He's always been good when playing for the U.S. side. Is it at least possible that part of the reason is that SAFC haven't got any midfielders providing decent service? Or does he just miss even when he's got good opportunities?

Depends what you mean by strong, anything above 5% needs a lot of temperature control or it tastes chemically.
You can make 12-14% wine easy enough.
