    Anthony Gordon

    And yesterday if not for the professional foul ? Don't get me wrong, I don't think he's had a great start and I only had him pegged as a squad player until the Summer anyway but I do think there's a good player in there.

    Anthony Gordon

    He did put Wilson through with a good ball and vision v West Ham which left him through on goal and his lack of pace allowed Aguerd to get back at him.
  3. I acknowledge that re the full back but I'd risk it to get the best our of Isak and all season we've played that gamble when pressing that well bet our defending against your forwards. Also I've noticed Brighton sticking it through the middle a bit recently (V Man Utd and one other I can't remember, didn't see today's game) where the centre halves or deep mid slides it on the deck to a forward coming off the centre halves and simply laying it off to one side for an oncoming support player, so simple yet effective. FWIW I thi k Eddie will go 433 as usual anyway.
  4. Edit that, can't leave Willock out. Willock narrow left maybe.
  5. Either Miggy or Murphy on the right. Either Maxi, Isak or Gordon on the left. Personally I'd he tempted to go 4231 with Isak as a 10, Murphy right, Gordon left. Gordon purely for work rate. Anderson might even be a shout. Just can't see us going with either Miggy or Murphy on the left
  6. Because there had been a very poor end to the season and quite a few saw that the tide had turned. Very similar to Sunderlands two seasons finishing 7th.
  7. Finish 3rd in Champs league group and drop into Europa. Wins all round.

    Dogawful Officiating

    Couldn't help but laugh today when after at least 15 deliberate fouls the first yellow was for a dive.
  9. He said don't quote him.
  10. I'm not bed wetting but I can feel my bladder telling me I might not make it through the night without a run off at some point.
  11. Every season. Alternating hosts. When it seemed like we'd be close to getting into Europe next season I started taking more interest in their position should we get Europa, they're in with a chance but it's tight.

    The old days

    Family holiday at Berwick. Talked my dad into getting the bus back for the match. Then bus back after. Was that a Franz Koenen debut ?

    sunderland

    We have a bit of a friendship going back to the UEFA cup tie with fans being great with each other in both ties. Sunderland recently though they had a thing as the myth went Bilbaos strip was down to them, turned out that was, as with most Mackem stories, a load of shit.
  14. Ideal for the older player in under 21s but wonder if he feels he maybe still has another year or so in the first team somewhere.
  15. By creating their own super league with all the issues of any breakaway league.
  16. Might it not just help that Armenian team pull away from its domestic competition and then its like most of the Western European leagues ie a closed shop.
  17. Modric, Iniesta and Seedorf were a level above the others mentioned imo.
  18. Semantics like but I wouldn't have Gerrard as world class, international class maybe but world class for me is Messi/Ronaldo etc. Gerrard is behind Modric/Iniesta for me.
  19. Oooh I don't know, let's take a close look at what he said "twitter transfer con artists pretending to be experts" of which he's one, "are already annoying" he certainly is," and the window hasn't opened yet" and that ones a fact. I'd say he's got this one spot on.
  20. Hard to judge as their roles were very different. I'd much rather have Henderson in the Henderson role than Gerrard and vice versa
  21. Nah the best way is to just say that about his position without, as he does, whining on about others, quite often talking utter shit with little basis in fact.
  22. Loudest I've heard in a ground was there when we played Inter and they scored. It wasn't even full.
