This (very ugly) graphic is getting awfully close.

The very day we last beat Sunderland I was best man at my friend's wedding on the other side of the planet. He's moved back to France now and had two kids.
Eurosport article was in my Facebook feed and was reading through the comments (which I know I shouldn't)...
So many people making the note that the club is run by cockneys and supported by Geordies etc etc... Going on and on about "dem being cockney scum" is such a disservice to the whole argument. It's very frustrating to hear and read.
They're just cunts. Regardless.
He often did so much better when the onus wasn't completely on him to create and be the main source of threat. Purely as a winger he was painful to watch at times, but when he was in a more defensive and retreated role he was more effective because of the element of surprise and extra space from being that extra man.
eh? That's what the video was of..
No it wasn't.
Yes it was, I edited it (had the 2nd goal initially)
Yes, but the reaction being mentioned was after the first goal.
We're light on replacements though... But we always seem to do a little better when the side picks itself through others being unavailable, or when the team is full stop gaps.
Yeah, the audio's kind of cut off
... Apparently the full thing was: Been playing for 15 years never seen such a referee in this shit country. They don't even deserve PSG.
Delighted to see someone else seeing it that way. Getting loads of grief off my mates for not wanting us to win.
There's no guarantee he won't get the job anyway though. Which makes it hard to be glad about anything!
Thought a straight red was harsh.
Still a completely stupid challenge though, and given our predicament in terms of players available, quite a cowardly and selfish act.
Maybe he was desperate to miss out on the derby. Hard to really care though.
