Theregulars

Still not remotely convinced that's a penalty, there's no contact.

Pardew needs to have a serious word with himself after today, handed them the win.

Dive

Wowzers, what a shit game.

Pardew has just instructed them now to hoof it away every time the ball comes near them. He's reverted to type this afternoon.

wow

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.
