I think Eddie Howe broke Villa’s ability to win at home. They were invincible before we rocked up with a depleted, confidence sapped team and schooled them.

Na, that’s when they intervene for the winner.

What minute does VAR intervene to get Liverpool back on level terms?

Micky Mousers losing!

Southampton and Woke Martin are just a waste of time.

Edwards is harmless tbf to him. I have called him a few abusive things over the years for the way he goes on, but suppose he is always going to be a bit of a nobhead the way some of our lot go on at him.

Maybe they should organise coach travel to Lancashire and charge £53 again.

The kid that does that channel is a grade A whopper so doesn’t surprise me.

Dubravka cost us about that last season. This lad must be horrendous if he’s behind that idiot in the pecking order.

I hate when our fans give journalists shit for negative reports, and as a fanbase we seem to have this weird complex where we believe anything good and write anything negative off as lies. However, with Hope on this matter I feel people have every right to call him out. The way he’s twisted Howe’s comments at the press conference into something they’re not is embarrassing. Then you get wankers like Chris Sutton jumping on it.

I think Howe goes if anyone. Mitchell brought in to be the main man with recruitment and lead our strategy. PIF appear to have been the ones driving that. Would make little sense to get rid of him if that is true. Would make more sense to bring in a head coach who is happy to work in the model that we are working towards. Ideally some form of harmony is found and both of them stay and thrive.

Aye, I’m sure they left at around the time Mitchell was appointed.

Seen people whinge all season about injuries and lack of rotation, then Bunce comes in and people whinge about it. I am talking about Twitter as opposed to here (I know, social media). But sums people up. Same people whinge about how shit the summer has been but then cry “there was nowt wrong with it” when the old recruitment processes were criticised.

Martin Dubravka

I meant the Aviva Stadium Nowt wrong with the East Stand, other than it’s size

Agree re the East Stand. Absolute eyesore that.

Comes on after 70 minutes at Wolves.

He’s always said, in fairness to him, that he is a journalist first and a fan second.

Wonder how many fans of Sunderland, Leicester, Man City, Arsenal etc would love to swap back to their traditional home. Would be a high percentage imo (of those who experienced both ground anyways)

First two windows were superb. Then from there they have gotten worse imo, as we have focussed more on Premier League based players. Also not addressed the RW issue since the owners arrived (could argue Gordon was signed for RW). Being in a situation where it’s Guehi or no one is shambolic. We have also been buying purples for big prices that we do not want to sell, and if we did, the profit margin wouldn’t be all that big. The pre Ashley players, nobody wants. Bring more data led and shopping abroad makes perfect sense imo.

Can see where he is coming from. Couple of the quotes demonstrate that Howe’s way of working isn’t the way we’ll be working moving forward.

Seen people getting pissy about Mitchell throwing Howe under the bus but I don’t see that. I respect the honesty of the interview and feel more assured about the owner’s ambitions moving forward. Compare it to September 2008. Keegan had just left and the future was very bleak

Well said. I don’t get the clamour for it. People getting a hard on over new walls and shiny floors. “We need it to compete” do we fucking bollocks man. Do what it takes to enhance the size of SJP. Our home for 130 odd years. People want to rip that up for the sake of a shiny new modern bowl. Fuck the NFL and that tatie off True Faith who was buzzing about it inal.

NUFC have tried to sign him in recent seasons but he has chosen to stay at Sunderland. Other clubs have also tried. Understandably he wants to play first team football.

Agree with this. Shame about the Scousers before and after the match. Shite that.
