So its ok to sing about our manager who is currently ill having something to do with a child who was abused and is almost certainly dead? Some good Sunderland people are rightly pulling it apart but others..... How low can some of them they go over there???

Certainly nothing wrong with our scouting, that Andrey Santos is now one of the best midfielders in France after his unsuccessful loan at Forrest. Thinks it’s just been our finances and timing that has prevented us from having more young talent on the books.

Two really well-matched teams although we've done well in the head-to-heads recently. Feels more "must-win" for them than us given the league table. It's also the start of a massive week where they play Man City and a cup semi-final. I'm also guessing they will be pumped up for it given their perceived injustice regarding Boxing Day. My main concern would be managerial decisions in-game where I'd back Emery's experience to get the better of Tindall as the game unfolds. I'm pleased that Joelinton is available as he'll be crucial in the midfield battle, but right now I'd say a point and a couple pints in the Wellington/Post Office Vaults would represent a very satisfactory trip to Brum.

Funnily enough the Villa fan on EIBW podcast said the same thing about them. It made me wonder if two teams have ever faced each at at "100%". There's always something stopping a team doing that, perhaps it never actually happens over the span of a teams cycle.

Can't say I've heard of him, pre or post-transfer.

Jumah Bah.

Other than Khuzanov who else have they signed that we were heavily linked with?

They are a very good team who can match us at our best. Going to be a very hard game.

We are better than them. If we play at our best, we win, and there isn't a damn thing they can do about it. That's a fact.

Sick and tired of constantly having our lunch eaten by Man City when it comes to transfers. Wish they'd fuck off.

Get into them!

We batter these. Not even close. 0-6 to keep the run going.

Touchy subject, not really sure what to think about it. My grandparents were the kindest people I've ever know, but probably had some fucked up viewpoints due to their religious upbringing. Humans are complex and the ones without sin can throw the first stone and all that. If he was more outspoken about it I would have been more certain in my stance, but he was kinda backed into a corner on this one.

On paper you would think this is a really tough game, a team who has won their last 4 Premier league games and only lost at home once all season long. However, this might be a good time to play them. They might have a bit of an emotional hang over from the PSG game and might be distracted by their semi-final on the horizon. I think a point is the more realistic result here and I would take a point now but I wouldn't be at all surprised if we turn Villa over and won comfortably.

I often go on other forums (especially at the time we play their team) and obviously there are knob heads on all forums. However, the RTG forum has the highest amount of absolute twats by a long, long way

Hank nailing it but shouted down for being a snowflake for not wanting to sing about a dead kid.

Aye, but Doncaster look set to take one of those automatic spots. They dropped from the Championship to League Two about 10 years ago due to having a severe injury crises. Managers poached, big name players poached etc all since then.

I can't believe it took so long for them to drop Meslier, would have had the league wrapped up already if they did it way back

Why would we want to jeopardise a deal?

An insane opinion, IMHO. I feel like recency bias is reigning over this list you've made.

Longstaff NOT Miley

I'm sure we could chuck in one of our keepers as part of the deal

Crystal Palace also does the "press and breakaway" tactic away from home. To great effect too, until they fell apart at Man CIty and ours.

Just realised that, other than the goal for us, he also "assisted the assist" by passing it to Lacroix in a very dangerous area. He'd be happy to join us if only to not have to play against us again.
