I'm not sure football's global appeal is something we need to be concerned with. It's okay if some people don't like it, we don't need to get all defensive. Part of the problem with where we're at today is down to the attempted globalisation of European football, surely. I'm also not sure how you maintain the essence of the game whilst eliminating tackles altogether. I actually disagree with everything you've suggested, other than the obvious inclusivity and diversity bit ?

I'm 36 and I feel like that sort of thing is quite normal for Turkey. They're right sad bastards when it comes to football, like they've got nothing else going on in their lives so they pour everything into supporting their team and are all just a bit mental. Bit like those Napoli pricks.

Class watch as a neutral.

Sent off wtf

Well I never

And every other game they play for the rest of my life

Yeah, how did he give that against Maguire

Fucking Trashford

Sunderland's greatest ever player on for Man Utd

He's bottled that second yellow

Werw

Christ, just

Looks onside that

Kobe Mainoo looks like he's going to be class

That would have been lush

I wonder if people who use this argument did the same when Pardew refused to pick HBA.

The seagulls relieved to once again free roam without the threat of rollernonce sticking his cheese stick down their throat.

They're much further ahead than just 5 years, there is no way we're that good in 2029.

It certainly could have been worse, but they stopped going for it and controlled the game after their second when it became plainly obvious that they could do just that with very little risk. It's just frustrating when you watch other teams and they're so much more exciting than us, often appearing to have a go at the top sides whereas we tend to go into games such as this already defeated. I like Howe and want him to succeed but he needs to stop persisting with players who are putting in poor performances week after week. I've been critical of Burn pretty much every game this season, now it seems as though Botman may be next. That's 3 poor performances in the last few games from him, but there's no way he'll pick Lascelles, Krafth or Dummett (remember Man Utd away in the cup?) ahead of him for whatever reason. I really hope we see Anderson ahead of Longstaff too. Lewis Hall needs a run too, none of this 30 minutes every 7/8 games bullshit. Frustrated.

It's always got the potential to be but I completely agree with what you're saying here. At least the Premier League will let us do something about that quality deficit...

Good performance though, according to some

The subs have reinvigorated us somewhat, I know they're coming on against tired legs but they look hungrier than some of those who started. Baffling.

I thought that as well, excellent analysis on commentary there

Annoying how we keep getting in each other's way
