Half a chance for Hernandez, decent save from Alves

To get to the bottom three is some achievement from John Carver

Lots of boos, support the team not the regime

Ryan Taylor ffs, any moron that spouts the absurd line of "even Mourinho wouldn't do any better" needs to explain why on earth a piece of crap like Ryan Taylor gets picked ahead of Abeid

Everton are in can't be arsed mode, can see Sunderland winning this if Everton don't pick it up a gear

I think they will beat Leicester, just like against Southampton they will find a way to win (as they have done the last few seasons) so it will still require us to get a win from somewhere

Bloody hell, is that a genuine article? Even for someone as thick add Taylor that is unreal, I was convinced it was a piss take (still kind of am)

I've seen some absurd things as a fan BUT when he produced that letter I was gobsmacked

How will it be better is we stay up? I guess my perspective is based entirely on hope rather than expectation but surely the likelihood for Ashley finding a buying for a club with a £250m personal debt owed to him will be far more likely if we're a Premier League club? Is it even possible anyone would be crazy enough to buy us in that situation if we're stuck in the Championship or potentially worse? Does anyone really want to be watching us in the Championship also? It worked wonders for us last time and I enjoyed it but that was probably exclusively because we won almost every game. There's no guarantee we'd come back up first time or even how bad it could be for us if we go down. We're already being widely ridiculed as a club from top to bottom, getting relegated is only going to make us look like bigger bellends for everyone to scoff at. For me if we stay up there's still hope things could be fixed, I don't see how going down would solve anything. The debt is £250m? Since when?

The only reason I say no is because it means us going down at the Mackems expense and the Pardew loving wankers will be unbearable. Just survive this season and we can go down next season

Aye, Alves has been class lately. With the transfer ban in place it's important they get him to sign a new contract

Of course Messi is a genius BUT it annoys me how these "pundits" dismiss tactics, Jamie Redknapp just full of shit

Class, good finish

Howay Suarez, that was poor

Seriously, that's just absurd

That's disgusting

Now the key is not to concede, deny them an away goal

Get in, Messi

I think Real are in the better position and I fully expect them to win with ease at the Bernabeu

So extremely unfair to describe it as Carver-esque

Have they lost all 6 games though?

Massive chance for Llorente, hope they don't regret it

A large part of me is thinking let's get relegated, fuck it BUT then I know if that happened it would mean Sunderland staying up, would be horrific Having said that the club is fucked whilst Ashley owns us

Ban this prick

He was never going to directly criticise Carver BUT I do think him apologising to the fans and his team mates with no mention of Carver was quite telling
