Theregulars

With the caveat that he's done well for the last 2 months, Pardew got everything completely wrong today.

Ameobi starts 2014 in the same vein as the rest of his highlight reel career.

His whole career with us, then a coaching role, progressing into management eventually and then on the board before being given the freedom of the city.

Shola fuck off you useless lumbering twatstain

How has Amalfitano evaded at least a yellow there?

Sweeeeeeeeeeeet

And Coloccini knackered too. Used all our luck in the Stoke game.

Love the guy but that's Sunderland standard

Whaaaaaaa

Ameobi has been everything I expected him to be today, and so much less.

Vile game

Another awful final ball.

Our final ball today has been embarrassing.

Diabolical from Gouffran. Having a poor game.

Gouffran has a slightly alarming habit of shirking aerial challenges.

Ben Arfa vs Ridgewell would be hilarious

He's so fucking slow.

The other worrying thing is that they haven't won for absolutely ages; we are normally very, very compliant opponents when another team badly needs a win.

Not Keegan. He did try to get rid of him! Good point. Yet another reason why I rate him highly as a manager. How do you justify selecting a striker who just never scores? It's backwards.

What's also stupid is that Sissoko was kenk in central midfield against Stoke. There's no discernible thought process behind this selection, if it is indeed 4-3-3.

Pretty much the same team that got us 5 wins in a row do it's not that bad, but the inconsistency is annoying as Shola was truly game-changingly shit against Arsenal and gets rewarded with a start. It's frustrating as well as west brim are a team with 2 comparatively slow, lumbering centre halves; fleet-footed passing and runs in behind would have been the order of the day for me, not long ball to Shola. Fair play to him, he's kidded 9 managers into thinking he can play football.

Vomit

Didn't deserve to lose that at all.

Am I right in thinking that their goal came from a free kick which was given after we should Have had one?

Give a shit, we smashed them. Small time scrotes. They have no good players, a douche of a manager and a fan base dwarfed by clubs in League 1. Go home, Stoke.
