I wasn't at the game, but I saw the whole of the match on Sky. Birmingham had a couple of good spells, but overall I thought we were well worth the win. It's all down to opinion, but check out the stats - we were 56% - 44% up on possession, 55% - 45% up on territory, and had 17 shots against 6. I can't see how that's being 'dominated'. I can only think that, like the commentary teams yesterday and on Wednesday, the media are talking about the game that they expected or wanted to see, and not the one that actually happened. Absolutely spot on. There was a Scouse tosser on Talk Sport (should be called Talk Sh*te when Townsend and Parry are on) this morning and whining about how fantastic Liverpool fans are (as they never stop doing - talk about mirror kissers) and how they have always shown Rafa huge support "unlike some Premier teams" meaning guess who - I think the scouse turd was suffering under the usual problem that affects scousers in that the fact they are winning, getting trophies, and have a chance of the Prem league is the REAL reason they are not getting on Rafa's back like they did with Houllier Souness and Evans. Like with like ? Like hell. This is what always gets me about Liverpool fans. Yes, they are very good but they are the easiest club to support. We will never know I guess but it would be very interesting to see what they are like if they havent won anything for 30 odd years. Even when they were shit under Souness they won they FA Cup. They dont know how lucky they are and certainly never acknowledge the fact

Fully and very well deserved

Dont forget..... TV reckon Birmingham dominated us

very valid. was very obvious how he deliberately kicked the lads leg then fell over

I just watched Sky News this morning and the guy that comes on to do the sports said "In a game that Birmingham dominated". I didnt get to the match yesterday... are all you lads lying to me.... I thought we did well ?? Where do they pull this shit from ??

My thoughts entirely. Embarrassing how obvious it is

having watched MOTD, penatly was lucky but how on earth did emre's free kick at the end not result in a penalty. To be in a wall, jump up with your arm at 90 degrees to your body, for the ball to completely stop the ball and knock it to safety.... how is that not a penalty ?

Grand choice Mick. She is just truly awful. I felt dirty after having watched the match

He has a black and white tie on though.... he just wants all the North east clubs to eb successful

Could disagree with that. might be an unpopular comment but watching Maradona gives me goose bumps. Almost sub-human ability for such a small fella. Utter genius

Don't leave me out, I haven't got a clue either. That bloody woman commentating on Match of the Day. "The ball bobbled apologetically across the line". Fuck off.

Been changed obviously. Last in the list here we come

:thup: I think Pearson said that Wednesday was "emotionally" hectic. I think that takes more out of it than just the pure physical aspect playing agame like that against the best team in England/Europe(?) at the minute. To be able to come through today against a Birmingham team, that basically had nothing to lose therefore could play free from any pressure, deserves some credit. We got what we wanted. A win and 3 points. Lets enjoy a Saturday night for a change

Happy days. Great to watch that.

who could forget being 1-2 down to the Makems at home and Sorensen saved his Penalty in the last minute?

have heard that before somewhere

BBC sabotaged the film making sure people cant see us win. Reckon we will be on last on MOTD

Some thought we might finish higher than Arsenal...... We only drew on Wednesday. Its our fault Liverpool werent the last team unbeaten

We were sub 50k quite a few times last season. Yep, thinking back we were. Not helped by the standard of opposition and they only brought about 3 men and a dog with them. Few more positive results and I cant see it taking long to get back up to full house numbers

That report struggles like fuck to avoid the fact that Birmingham obviously didnt pose any kind of threat at all to us after their goal. Notice they didnt metion that it was a defensive error that let Jerome in

Whats the chances of this being reported in the Nationals ?? "Theiving toon board charge kids for tickets while generous Sunderland give them away for free"

Bet Stevie Bruce is toasting the lads tonight.

Fulham a bit handy at home arent they ? Think I would be happy with a point here.

But that picture of him in his under-duds - last game for the toon ? Not great Lauren mate ..... but aye... loved him
