Onein such an attention whore. Absolutely has to be in the limelight

Think it's the correct decision but it's sheer dumb luck they're still in this, they've been fucking rank

Least they could have done is take a few carrier bags and take their own shit home with them? Like contain it and dump it in a bin on the way back to their hotel? The fact their own fans dump their shit while watching them at the SoL to the extent there are litter tornados on the pitch whenever it's windy suggests this is very much a Sunderland fan issue not a lack of bins issue. They're scruffy, lazy ignorant cunts

If they go up they go up, it's not going to affect me too much either way, completely ambivalent to it. If I could decide the result they'd get fucking smashed today but they've got a decent chance

Everton isn't the dream move for him but it's probably the most sensible at this stage. He could easily go there and score 15+ a season as the main man in the new ground and get himself the big move he's probably wanting right now. It's a nice stepping stone move

Definitely not rattled. At all

He's very good but that's an insane fee. He's young and he could be there for years but that's got to be a risk going for that big a fee

I also think the fact he's so willing to fall on his sword seems like he knows he's made a mistake and is almost daring them to sack him so it releases him from it all. Even a poor coach can take what he's given and go someway towards changing it and making it work. This fucker has walked in and almost said - "this isn't exactly what I need. I need to a complete blank canvas or you may as well get rid of me". He's had a go at changing it but he's failed and I think he knows it too. It seems like it's just damage limitation at this point

This tank fit to play on Sunday? Any idea?

I think my overarching issues with this particular set of wankers is Amorim. I like him as a person and find he generally comes off quite well - he's honest (maybe too honest at times) and he has dug his heels in and maintained he's going to use his system come hell or high water. Could be seen as a bit stubborn but he's single-minded enough to reinforce it - he's not changing shit. My main problem is the fact he can't get it to work. If he's a mint coach then surely he can take individual players and tweak them to fit the system he's brought in? I understand there will be loads of players who don't quite fit his system but surely his job is to take what he's got and improve them? He sees them for hours and hours every single week and if he was any good he could mould them into a team capable of at least carrying out simple instructions, scoring goals and winning games? You can't expect a manager to walk into a dressing room and say "nah, these aren't suitable. I need a new squad". You can't just replace the fucking lot of them with players who are capable of playing 3-4-3. At some point you have to be good enough to actually coach the players you've got into playing in that system? I mean, that's his job. He's a coach so coach the players to change the way they play and function? If he's not capable of that then what the absolute fuck is he doing there? I like him but he seems utterly ineffective and the results back this up. He's failing miserably in every aspect. He's not prepared to change system, he can't get the most out of what he has, he can't change the way they play and his team gets dicked regularly - nothing works and he can't improve it. Any other club and he'd be out on his arse by now

Can only hope these gutless pieces of shit can summon up enough professional pride to actually give Villa a game on Sunday. I'm not holding my breath, these cunts have no standards at all. They're relentlessly pathetic and have zero heart or drive to win anything though. They've been focussing on the EL for the past 3 months and still lost the cunt

Just had zero cutting edge tonight, they pressed and pushed but never really looked like cutting Spurs open and that's pretty shit tbh. Spurs have shipped loads this season and Man U never really made them work for the clean sheet, Vicario made a few decent a few decent saves but nothing ridiculous. Spurs offered virtually zero at the other end and wound up winning it. Game felt like like watching 2 morons playing table-tennis tbh

Don't see a lot of goals like that any more. Fucking cracker like

Never go back. One of life's mottos - never, ever go back

Hasn't realised just how close Pope got to that Rice shot. It was really well hit and a nice finish but it's only about 2 inches from being pushed around the past. Would have been a brilliant save mind

Start the game like we started on Sunday and we'll win it within the first 30 mins. Don't think they'll offer much resistance if we score one early, the place should be absolutely bouncing and scoring early eases all of the nerves and makes a Pickford worldie an irrelevance. They're weak defensively, their full backs are shit and they're poor at CF. Score early and we'll breeze past these cunts

I think we'll start quickly and score early and that'll settle us down. We eventually get the second, they kinda give up and we score one more to seal it 3-0

Virtually the same

Think this is right. The probabilities are my own but I think it's about right Apologies if I've fucked it... *I've also just assumed that City will get enough from Bournemouth and Fulham too. I'll be fucked if I'm bringing them into it*

Howe has a huge decision to make this week, don't think Gordon is giving enough to justify an automatic start next week. Certainly should be Barnes starting at LW next Sunday with either Murphy or Gordon on the right. He's looked miles away from his own high standards for a while now and his sloppiness today cost us the winning goal today. If Joelinton is fit then I think I'd go with Murphy on the right and give Gordon 35 mins off the bench to use his pace against a tiring Everton. We've been in the position of not having anything off the bench for a month now and he's the last one you'd want to see if you're Ashley Young or Mykolenko. No one has any idea what's going on in his head but he's playing like he's unhappy with something. He certainly doesn't look like he's enjoying his football atm. Huge week for everyone at the club, need every oar in the water right now

That's how it ends? Like that?

Needs a Schar shitpinger here

Needed to convert one of those early chances in the first half, would have given us something to hang on to. Always felt that missing the lot would leave us short, you can't miss every chance and complain later

We've been poor this second half but Arsenal came out and definitely stepped it up a few gears. We've not been able to match them but it's arsenal who've raised their tempo and we're now chasing it and don't look great in the process

That's on Gordon unfortunately. Dwelling on it. Sloppy as fuck
