Disgraceful really. Take Shelvey out and we already see what happens to our midfield, we're damn lucky he didn't miss time with injury on top of the suspension. Leaving that to one side, plus the glaring need for wingers, even our first choice back 4 is pretty shit. We very rarely look like keeping clean sheets in any game, doesn't matter who we play. Could need up to a dozen players even if we get promoted.

All of the top 6 signed or loaned a few players. Not sure whether they're just adding depth, or trying to get more quality, but either way they could all claim they've strengthened. think we're one of the few in the division who didn't sign a single player. How many windows have we had like this under fatso? Must be at least 50% of them.

We did sod all in 30.5 days but might bring a couple in with a 3 hour window to do so

Neither will some of our players. Massive gamble here, Ashley loves doing absolutely fuck all in a transfer window if he can get away with it. Utter bastard of a man.

Anyone else now hoping for a reading win and a loss for us Not really, no.

Aye he's only about 5 times better than anything else we have in wide positions, what's the point

Honestly boggles my mind how Ashley has been so successful in business when he so relentlessly refuses to learn from past mistakes. What a fucking arsehole.

It's the club MO under Ashley. Don't do a damn thing to support potential near-future success when you can gamble and possibly get away with doing absolutely f*** all

Going well then

Rafa is slightly reseeding I'll have you know. Looked for a pic of him gardening, no dice

Not surprising in the least. Just like after beating QPR 6 nowt then playing like strangers against Wolves. Only difference is we haven't lost this one yet but it's in the post. *edit* fuck me, we're winning. Forget what I said man

Yup. Herrera fouled him and then throws himself down wailing for a pen. He's so annoying. He's a conniving t***. His head looks like a f***ing box an aal

Am I reading this right that; they actually managed to lose against themself in 15/16? they would have, had they played themselves

After all the years of absolute garbage cup performances and just not bothering to compete, just the fact we've breezed into a cup QF at the first time of asking under this bloke is f***ing incredible I don't much care who we get, we're getting our pride back little by little, thanks to this genius of a man.

Where the f*** do you even begin to look for that gif? Quite literally "grim reaper chest bump"

I had no concerns whatsoever, that the applicable gif would be readily and easily available in seconds.

Personally if I was a Sunderland supporter, after all the times they've certain go down, after all the times they've been dead and buried only to f***ing somehow rise from the dirt to stay alive, there's no way I'd be resigning to relegation like that. You've been in worst situtations and survived. You're the leagues unflushable s***. You're the 17th place specialists. You always find a way to avoid death. Sadly, with sopuch a dreadful standard in the league this year, <b> I think you'll be chesting death again this year. </b>

Is that mitro strangling Gayle again Looks like he's having his face completely re-arranged

SSSshhhhh its all working out ok, goto sleep. I still think <b> Diame is not on form </b>, and Mitro and Gayle is sooooo tempting Worrying.

Fuck me, what a tedious pile of shite. All about not losing, rather than trying to win, cheers Mourinho you boring bellend. Almost makes you glad to be in the championship, do we really want to be in this league again? Best league in the world my arse.

Ashley Young's face never gets any less punch-able as the years roll by.

What a yawn-fest Mourinho teams are. That corner was the first time they'd been near the Liverpool box in about 15 mins. Useless.

Was that before/after the last game of the season 86/87? If it was that game, I don't recall anyone getting thrown in the Trent, but there was a quite amazing pitch battle at the end of the game, about 40 a side, went on for a good 2-3 mins. I remember watching it from the benches, we lost the game 2-1, huge Toon contingent there. Gazza scored our goal when put clean through, can recall the celebrations, fans on the pitch and we were 2 down at the time in an end-of-season game that meant nowt. Different times, think it was about 3 quid a ticket to get in.
