Tsunami

Fair result; urghhh

Need Stoke to turn up next week

Strolling around the pitch; nowt the matter. If I was an Arsenal fan I wouldn't be happy.

Arsenal have been awful here

No pen for me but seen them given

Arsenal need to up their tempo, it's all a little slow in moving the ball allowing Sunderland to get into defensive shape.

Looking for the defenders legs

Got to mention the free kick award for Lpool's first goal yesterday.

I'm hoping that although we'll go down that Rafa will have seen enough from the players he can keep, the fans, the club itself and the city to decide to give it a go. If it doesn't work in a season he can do what he wants but if we go up he should be well prepared for what he'll need to compete. Ashley has a huge responsibility in having appointed him, making sure he stays. Ashley must be thinking what the hell he was thinking of by sticking with McClaren so long; the post match guff McClaren used to come out with to the common sense talk from Benitez is startling,

Looked a pen to me

We need Arsenal to win tmrw and for Stoke to beat the Mackems as well. That Norwich result is killing us

We're looking very tired

Seemingly if you have the ball and go down on your knees you get a foul, same happened against City

Bloody hope Hughes starts kicking the crap out of his players to get a performance when they play the Mackems. They've been horrendous lately.

Given that a top 4 place is far from guaranteed the City fans aren't exactly up for it. Awful.

I'll be amazed if he got grief; even if he ran up to The Kop and starting signing "YNWA", might be pushing it if he started singing "You've never won fuck all" to us.

Gonna make our L7 look almost pitch side viewing. No doubt Barca will continue place away fans as far away as possible.

For offside, mistaken identity and possibly reviewing a foul to decide between a red or yellow I'd be for video. I don't see how it could work for penalty decisions other than the 4th official seeing something that the ref has clearly missed, he could then ask the ref to review it (I think they do this in Rugby Union). If it is left for the ref to ask for a replay as they are unsure about something then that leads to very murky water and accusations of lack of consistency and bias towards the bigger teams (as usually happens). There'd need to be very clear rules on what the 4th official could look for and god knows what happens when they miss one.

Very naughty that

We should have had at least 1 penalty at Leicester as well.

I couldn't believe how few fans they brought, mind you if I had choice of going to Newcastle on a Tuesday night or saving money to go to Madrid for a couple of days for a CL Semi, I'd probably give Newcastle a miss. The empty seats in the East Stand did surprise me.

Well played Vurn.

Also, Sunderland have got Stoke to play ffs

Hope our lot aren't watching this.

He played far higher up the pitch yesterday, at times he was at the apex and more advanced than Gini or Sissoko.
