Angry Sunderland manager Roy Keane went on the warpath again, but this time the venom was directed at his own Sunderland players rather than the nation's WAGS.
Keane made waves last week by criticising footballers' wives and girlfriends for influencing players to join clubs in London rather than Wearside because the shopping was better.

But the fairer sex was spared another Keane rant following his side's dismal 3-0 defeat at Wigan Athletic, the first time the Irishman had lost as a Premier League manager.
Instead, Keane laid into his players for their incompetence, promising to make drastic changes to prevent any repeat results this season.
Keane watched in horror as Emile Heskey, Denny Landzaat and Antoine Sibierski scored for Wigan as they went top of the League for the first time in their history.
The last two goals were from penalties conceded by Sunderland and Keane said: 'We didn't pass, we didn't tackle and we didn't defend. Normally you can take one plus out of a performance, but I couldn't find one from this.
'We keep giving ourselves mountains to climb. We got away with it in the Championship last season, but we can't afford to keep doing it in the Premiership. Even a blind man can see that.'
And in a warning to established stars such as his former Manchester United team-mate Dwight Yorke, who was replaced at half-time, Keane added: '
There is a fine line between loyalty and stupidity. I have been stupid. It won't happen again.'
Keane adding more fuel to the fire. Is Dwight being set up to be the fall guy after 3 games? Leh we hope this was a misquote as there is enough blame to share around.
