Unbelievable

Good finish Michu, shame he was offside.

Michu coming off? Edit: he's back up and running.

Aye, wish we'd gone for him.

what the fucks going on with MON. He's clearly a top manager who most clubs would love to have, but apart from the honeymoon period it just is not working here, he needs his right hand man. its been said before but he really is more like clough than we could have imagined, first time in a while today i could not be arsed to watch the second half, went shopping in tesco with the mother in law instead. got a blowie tho so its all good Read more: http://www.readytogo.net/smb/showthread.php?t=738701&page=107#ixzz2AWAPAzwX

0-0 Quelle surprise!

Stoke FFS

Mignolet making out that's not a corner...

Arsenal lucky cunts..

Gardner gets away with a tackle that's worse than Tiote's last week..

Shit, Arsenal score..

Stoke v Sunderland shouldn't even be allowed as a "spectacle".

What?

Mbia sent off..

Aye, can definitely see them dropping out of the top 4 this season.

Adam Johnson

Why does one of the Sunderland layers not have name and number on the back of his shirt? Are they on a cost saving exercise?

Classy as ever from M'ON

I'm not writing him off at all by the way. He's our player now, and for that reason I hope he proves to be a world beater. Fact remains I've seen more of him than most on here and whilst you're all hoping and perhaps expecting him to undergo the magic Graham Carr signing effect, I've not seen much to suggest he was particularly undervalued when we got him. My expectation for him is to become a fairly solid defensive midfield player (which is his best position), no more no less.

Liverpool are great at cup competitions tbf. I think that goes more for FA Cup / League cup imo. The times they were going for CL titles are gone.

I absolutely loved José too and couldn't have rated him much higher than I did but I reckon Santon will become much better than he was for us. Boy I certainly hope so, but at the moment I just can't see it I'm afraid. To me he looks fairly solid defensively, although not the man mountain that Enrique could be, and he has a penchant for going forward, which unfortunately more often than not does not result in a shot or creating a chance for his team mates. As I've said before, he's solid and has age on his side, but he certainly doesn't look to me like some world class full back in the making, and currently is not at the level that Enrique was at when he played for us at his best. What am I missing that everybody else is seeing?

I'd class them at a similar level going forward, with Enrique shading it due to his telepathic relationship with Jonas. What a left wing combination they were! It's a shame Santon hasn't formed such a partnership of being able to take each other's positions depending on the situation with anybody (or that we've been able to get anything like it going on the other flank), as it gave us a real edge on other teams at the time I felt.

I wouldn't say he frustrates me, but I sometimes do get the feeling I'm missing a trick when I see people on here praising him to the high skies. I often think he's decent enough, especially going forward, but nowhere near Enrique's level yet. Considering his age he's doing well mind you, but he's got some way to go still.
