Fat chance.

Elmohamady Mackem Mate says "Elmo" is bench fodder, but a) Bruce started him and b) played him out of position.

Well then, Steve. Buy some new strikers? Oh, wait, you did. Oh, you didn't start them. Oh, they're not very good. Oh well.

He's desperately hanging onto this idea that the opposition nicked a goal and it was Sunderland who were calling the shots throughout the game. Oh, and Bruce, again, doesn't really understand possession does he? Brighton 53% - 47% Sunderland.

As I say, although Brighton have had a good start, the fact this can't be counted as a shock or even a big surprise, even with a strong Sunderland side, speaks volumes about where Sunderland are at currently.

He's a decent signing for them but nothing more. Also, last year was the first time he'd managed more than 3 in a season. Very possibly a one season wonder in terms of goals.

Shocking signings. Larsson is okay, but absolute dross otherwise. What on earth does Bruce expect? You sign mediocrity, your team is mediocre. Apparently Steve hasn't worked this one out.

For the second time tonight, we've just posted exactly the same thing without each other knowing. Posted one a page or 2 back, exactly the same only with "Carling Cup Run".

Just suffered a depressing defeat. Immediate response ==> talk about Newcastle.

"We want to win the Carling Cup, and I believe we have a good team to do it." - Steve Bruce, this afternoon.

FT.

Not really. Close to, but starting no strikers of any description can't have helped their play. Only 3 changes from Saturday. This was a strong side. Not that it was actually strong, just by Sunderland standards it was.

Cracking signing, that.

"Gyan has a hack at it, but it's awful, and it's so bad it goes out for a throw in."

Not long... http://www.readytogo.net/smb/showthread.php?t=620733 Although them going off it would be highly amusing, not caring is, albeit less funny, a whole lot worse.

Sunderland are making amex of this.

Someone's gotta go trolling on that forum.

As if to troll you, Burnley NOW score.

That's the "cavalry"? :lol:

That's what I noticed after the weekend. A lot of them decided that after much unjustified pre-match gloating, the subsequent defeat, in the light of eternity, didn't actually matter that much.

This wouldn't be a shock btw. Brighton starting brilliantly in the Championship, at home to a mediocre PL side who got a barely deserved point in their opening day then lost to their biggest rivals in their 2nd game. It's almost as if Sunderland just aren't very good.

Tbh No plural? Nah, he just has on f***ing massive one. http://pumpkinnook.com/artwork/pumpkinpierecord2.jpg Great minds.

Spurs have a great chance to finish above Arsenal.
