What an end to the season.....Liverpool, Arsenal,Leicester, Man City (So LLLL) then Sheff Utd, Fulham. Proper horror double Bill

Do I have a worry free attitude? No. I just think that if we do what we need to do then we’ll stay up, that situation doesn’t change. My problem is that Fulham get 1 win and all of a sudden people are piling into the takeover thread saying the takeover is off. If you are worried about relegation then be so, if you think relegation is going to happen, then fine. Don’t suddenly fly off the handle and say this means the takeover isn’t happening though. And don’t them come back and say you knew we wouldn’t go down or it wouldn’t effect the takeover once you have calmed down, because people are doing that a lot on here recently. Do what we need to do and we'll qualify for Europe. It's not that Fulham have 1 win ,it's that they will quite probably be 4 points behind us after next weekend, the better form, momentum and we are without our main goalscorer for the next 2 month. I'd be shitting myself if I cared more.

Worthy winners down there and we're the better team up here. Undeserved late equaliser got us a point.

Haven't looked on there in ages. You mean to tell me there are bitterererer folk on there than whats her face and dangermows ?

Play Gayle before the other two.

If you think they are wrong you'll make money.

No sense of timing, should've let him back at 3pm, Friday.

If we play 5 in the middle Ive no problem with him playing(given the options) but have to get away from the idea of "we've got the ball, get it to Shelvey as quick and as often as possible". Its kind of where the Hayden fan club should be wanting their man to be more involved.

Nah. Every time he gets the ball he turns towards our own goal instead of turning the other way. He has no ambition to turn forward. You see exactly that in our 2nd goal against Everton. Oh wow, he did once in a game out of how many has he played? He’s fucking shit, just admit it. He might have had some promise, however with Bruce and his mates he’ll end up being a lower end Championship player in the next few years. Shit is harsh, he's playing in a team playing poorly, a team for the most part without confidence, he does get forward but as the junior hand does look to keep it safe. Played really well last week when the team seemed to be full of confidence, no surprise eh ?

Willock to start in the middle with Shelvey and Hayden, Saint Max to start, choose between Miggy and Fraser on the other side. I think it'll be tight either way.

Quite happily accept Liverpools first offer for Carroll

Maybe I wasnt paying attention, were there concrete offers that we turned down ?

Not sure if Gayle is mismanagement, can't force him to extend his contract and can't force him to move.

Not so much todays games but I'd totally missed West Ham's rise up the table . Honestly had them Leeds/Palaceish. Whenever I've seen them they've just looked so disjointed.

Cheers

Any sites give a running total of player shots on target etc ?

You can take the boy out of Sunderland, but you can't take Sunderland out of the boy.

To be fair you only get what the backroom do when they are doing well.

Imagine if we had a central midfielder who could support him

Just out of curiosity, how many of you quipped, when Wilson got his first "if he had longer arms he'd have stopped that".

Wouldnt say Darlow kept us in the game, didn't make any saves where if it had gone in he wouldnt have been blamed for it. They had 2 decent chances (Min a header and James poor finish straight at Darlow), We or rather Wilson had 5, scored 2 and could easy argue should easily have had 4. Good win and performance following on from a decent 2nd half v Leeds, flash in the pan or a pattern ? No idea, we may get an idea on Tuesday.

Well thats what they get for stuffing up my accumulator against Goias the other day, 2-0 up as well man.

Wow that's a blast from the past.

Is this going to be a feature every game, @9Shearergol[/member]? I've already changed my position and explained it more than once. I’m not taking the piss mate, I genuinely need to hear from positive fans (not you samp) Good craic. However, it's now portrayed in the press and media that it's now the players fault. It used to be the fans fault but now it's the players. Ask any of the experts and Bruce is doing a great job. It's not Ashley or Bruce for this shambles. Oh no, its the fans and players of the team are at fault. This club is a mess. Had a zoom thing tonight with some friends during the match, were you on it as that's exactly what was said.
