I see they didn't mention anything about Miliband quitting in their statement.

I think that Byrne woman had a dig at him when she mentioned political circus

He's got to be close to double figures by now?

 

Think the SSN guy said he's got 8 now. He's only played like a dozen games though hasn't he?

8 in 19 in all competitions

WHAT A GOAL!!!!!!!!!!

Great news, miraculous his knee is still intact

Amazing comments from Haidara, takes some strength of character to forgive that challenge, could so easily have ruined his career/life

I think Haidara and Sissoko might be

Think I might send an e-mail to the FA with the problem? face and QATAR 2022

How was it a 50/50?

Exactly, Savage is talking shite as usual

The tackle itself has angered me BUT the reaction of others (former players, refs etc) is pissing me off

It was a horrible tackle, baffled why some are reluctant to admit that

Bardsley's tackle on Colo was a terrible tackle like.

Was quite miraculous that he didn't get injured

The Nolan one was disgusting and the Guthrie on Fagan was bad

Few other bad challenges which were/could be red BUT nothing as bad as those 2

Richard Keys is a prick

Not excusing their player for what was a dreadful tackle but seeing it again, as I thought at the time, if Tiote does not play such a poor pass then that level of tackle never happens.

Firstly the pass is made is irrelevant, it was a cunts tackle on Haidara

and secondly it was Yanga-Mbiwa that made the pass to Haidara not Tiote

While Halsey has been getting all the stick after watching on MOTD it has to be said he has been severely let down by his two linesmen,  one had a clear view of the challenge on Haidara

 

Did he? The view they showed on MOTD2 was with a zoom lens which foreshortened the distance. In practice, the lino would have been standing in the other half of the field, more than 30 yards away. What's more, at the point of contact Haidara was between McManaman and the linesman and it would have been difficult to see with the right degree of confidence where the contact was made.

 

We're all angry about a tackle which has put a young lad's career in jeopardy, but we have to be realistic about what we can expect from officials. They can't give what they don't see. People saying that Halsey could have sussed out what happened by what was going on before and after his view was blocked are in cloud-cuckoo land. No-body can say how long his view was blocked for, and in any case he can't send a player off based on supposition. That's basic.

Wow

Used to be a fan of Martinez and wanted them to stay up BUT fuck em, hope they go down and if Haidara is out for a long time then I hope McManaman gets a lengthy injury  :rant:

Thiago is quality

Surely a pen?

Sunderland legend Raul Tamudo makes it 3-1 with his first touch.

Sunderland legend?

Used to always sign Tamudo on CM years ago

Raul was class at it, Messi is better

Messi, what a goal

Hes got to get a 6 game ban or something, thats worse than an off the ball elbow any day.

6 game ban for that is nowt

The little twat should not be allowed to play until Haidara is back playing again

Whilst we were average, that "performance"  from the officials was an absolute disgrace, fuming

Piss off Halsey you turd

He didn't even give a yellow for the handball? Wtf

Howay Halsey ffs
