Shocking news :'( RIP

Brilliant!

Won goal of the season

I wonder what the odds are of Ellis Short putting the club into administration in the next week or two. The club's already something like £150m in debt to him and they're looking at a £40m loss of revenue next season even before they look at funding transfers or replacing staff. You have to wonder if at some point Short isn't just going to decide to cut his losses (or, considering his other work in investing in distressed real estate, refinance by building a new stadium and selling off the existing land).

To be fair, Warnock's promotion record is excellent. If you're after a British manager with experience of getting rubbish promoted then Warnock is a good option. It's a moot point though since Sunderland can't afford to Sack Moyes or pay compensation to Cardiff for Warnock.

Is Dan Gosling fit? It'd be hilarious if a player that left Everton when Moyes & co. forgot to offer him a contract was the man to put the final nail in their coffin.

Oh ffs just when things looked like they might be getting better for the club. Sent from my HTC 10 using Tapatalk

I dunno, a lot can change during pre-season. Leeds always have the potential to self distruct and on the basis of their two performances against us this year, they've probably over-achieved. They will do well to hold onto Wood after the season he's had and they've been very reliant on his goals. Monk too has rebuilt his rep and may get a better offer at a club without mad owners (or slightly less mad). You would expect Villa to bounce back stronger next year and Steve Bruce is the master of getting out of the division, or at least he was whether he still has that skill I don't know, certainly should have done better since taking over this year. They can't afford another mid season managerial switch. Norwich do not have that great a squad to be honest, they've done nothing this season to suggest they will do much better next, if they get in a decent forwarding thinking manager that could change but jury out on them. Who knows where Huddersfield are going, they have had an amazing season based on what was expected of them from the start, they played the loan market really well. Will they get that lucky again this off season, will Wagner still be around ? The other playoff teams Fulham, Sheff Wed and Reading, all have good managers and need to hang onto them if they want to contend again next year. The teams that are going down with them, could well be the types not to surface again at the top level for a while. Boro are an absolute mess, amazing that they even pipped Brighton last year based on their season this. Swansea, should they be the 3rd team, for all their recent relative success have been a team historically fighting in the lower reaches, they are certainly not a Newcastle or Villa, whom you would expect to spend a bunch in the summer to get back up. Hull , if it is them, have been up and down too many times now, like Swansea they are not a team you would back to put a ton of money into to getting back up. We may have been a little unlucky this year in the quality of the championship, with a fair few teams that are well managed with some payers with a fair amount of skill. Next year may not be as tough for the Mackems, if they get the 70 million they expect to for their player sales, lol, and invest it well they could rebuild and be a force next year. Huge summer for them, starts with the manager's job, does Moyes have anything left ? Do they have the finances to back him ? It'll be a fun watch from the lofty perch they kept reminding us about through this season. Middlesbrough might be a mess but they're good financially. They only spent about £35m this season with their wage bill being about the same for the season it should leave them with a very healthy bank balance going into next season, plus they're likely to get a few £££ for Ben Gibson and some of the other squad should they decide to sell. They'll likely be competitive next season if they can get a manager who isn't a standard PFM. Sunderland and Swansea could be really fucked next season, Sunderland especially so. Their wage bills are pretty high so they'll need to offload players quickly unless their owners are willing to bankroll them, Swansea at least have some saleable assets, Sunderland have a young goalkeeper who won't be earning much and won't get them anywhere near the 10's of millions they all expect to sell him for. If Hull go down, I fully expect the owner to put them into administration out of sheer spite. Next season is going to be rough in the Championship, there's going to be a lot of competitive teams and unless they're willing to spend a lot of cash whoever gets relegated is going to find it tough going.

I can see Hull reaching 36 points, their home form is good and they have 3 very winnable home games (including against Sunderland) left. Crystal Palace need to be Sunderland's target. They've got a harder run-in than those around them, but even then it's hard to see them not picking up a couple of points at worst. They might have left the great escape act a little too late this year.

Excellent result

Utter crap.

1 up front and don't bring on Tiote. With this ref Tiote will get a red card for stripping off too forcefully.

What the everloving fuck?

How fucking clear was that handball?

Foul in the box. From an off-the-ball incident?

Wait, why the fuck is that a pen?

Fuck's sake

That was just horrific football, like watching us at our worst under Pardew or Carver. No ideas beyond doing exactly the same thing that hasn't been working all game, maybe bring a sub on after 80 minutes & hope that he'll win the game single-handed.

Unfuckingbelievable

Not good enough. Pissed away a bunch of chances & threw away what should have been an easy win.

Press h Also, fucking beautiful goal

Complacent wankers

Vile little cunt who had a reputation for horrific challenges even before the Haidara assault. He's an incredibly mediocre footballer who wouldn't improve the team in any area, we shouldn't have anything to do with the fucker.
