Good, let them accept their fate. Wallow in it. Drown in it. I'll burst out laughing as they languish in the Champo and eventually slide down the leagues. Half their fans are boycotting and it's resulting in disgusting atmospheres and aiding s*** performances. We packed out SJP last season and won the league with fans, squad & manager together in beautiful, beautiful harmony. Great advert for support the team, not the regime Really ? Is it not just a lot of fans and not just at Sunderland, just want to come out for the glamour games ? Not really a boycott is it ?

Is that Shitrah who used to play for poocastle, spewcastle, scumcastle who are nicknamed the magpiss. All used over there.

Aye. As much as I love attacking football, I love pressing when off the ball even more. When we don't have the ball I have always been frustrated and angry whenever we don't press teams. Time and time again shows like MOTD show that successful teams always press the opposition when they don't have the ball. I fail to see why any manager worth his salt wouldn't have it as core aspect of their off the ball game plan. Because it's hard work to do it if you can't keep possession well enough to take a breather.

Slagged him off all day, shouldn't be in the team.........that ball for Mitrovic was quality though, Not just the execution but to see it aswell.

They were bad aswell. Even before the game their fans in the pub were saying they wanted to have a close look at us as they doubted they could see three clubs they'd finish above.

Because man utd. If Man utd were in the Championship we'd still be on after them.

I know some have praised Ritchies work today, and rightly so but Merino was by far and away the best player on the pitch today......can't wait till he gets up to speed.

See the game Dave ?

#negativetactics #hatesgoals #play442 That play 442 thing is unfair. People just want a plan B if it's not working. Nobody says it has to be every game like. Did we not play 4-4-2 today ? If not 4-4-1-1. The normal "2" being much more fluid (by which I mean Merino).

Expecting...... Elliott Fittest back 4 we can put out Merino Hayden Ritchie Perez Atsu Joselu I'd dithch that and go Elliott Fittest back 4 we can put out Ritchie Merino Hayden Murphy Atsu Joselu Could put Aarons in for Murphy.

Yeah but it's like she's using her teeth when there's no need.

We haven't agreed bonuses with the players and staff yet? How many times has this happened under ashley ffs. Bonuses should be dead easy. 10million a man if we reach the champs league.

I agree with this. f***ing hate this stupid formation. If we had Hazard or Silva it would be fine, but we haven't, so change it ffs. Nowt wrong with the formation if you havethe players for it. It's why I can't buy the "world class manager" tag as for me that would mean getting the best from the avaialble squad as opposed to shoehorning them into a preferred formation that they aren't suited to.

Most certainly. Doubt he'll get the chance.

I'm more concerned about thwe Huddersfield/Rotherham game than this due to a bet.

We could go other than a flat back 4, we have the centre halves to go 3 imo.

Footy manager generation.

but he wanted to go there.

They mean nowt really, he could've been laying them on a plate but for shit finishing and great keeping. I've no idea how he played but I'd not be guided by those sorts of stats.

It'll also translate into us having to subsidise their wages to oooooh about 100k per week

It's one of those myths people want to believe so they will, the royal mail lose everything, the trains are always late, etc etc.

I'd guess at least one of those drawing the balls will be a Chinese person of note (at least to them) the other probably Beckham. You just know it's going to bring up a load of crap jokes, no.22 sweet and sour pork etc.

They didn't get their way with the 39th game so wouldn't be at all surprised for one of the cup finals or Charity shield to be played in China over the next couple of years.

never heard of him till last week so I googled a bit and, I know it's just a random site and probably a load of rubbish but this place has our possible new no.10's strengths as blocking the ball, weaknesses passing and finishing. https://www.whoscored.com/Players/106413/Show/Dennis-Praet With the way we do things I'd be inclined to believe it.

After spending about £20m net, and having £30m left over from last season it's not. Not that the fat idiot with the wallet will think so. Because they are the only finances favced by a football club ?. Ashley needs massive questioning over the financing of the club. Commercial revenue etc but looking at we brought so much in transfers and spent so much is totally missing what happening.
