As bad as he was last night he's played a lot worse than that.

Mitrovic an 8. It's clear you have an agenda against him.

Maybe we should request that opposition players don't tackle him or get in his face and then he might play better? It's clear you have an agenda against him. My only agenda is that he's been here 4 years and played about 4/5 good games in that time. Shelvey's been here 2 months and has done more in that time than Anita has in those 4 years.

Well he was one of the best passers in the team last night. Hahahahaha

I gave up on getting a fair cracking from referees a long time ago. There's only 2 decent refs in the entire league (Clattenburg and Oliver) and with them both being Toon fans neither of them can ref us anyway. Not a pen last night but Man Utd got a pen when the ball hit Mbembas arm from a foot away. Aye OK.

Last night was a perfect summing up of his time here. A totally anonymous performance where you wondered if he was actually on the pitch and on the odd time he did get on the ball he just played a simple 5 yard pass sideways or backwards. Looks like Benitez took less than an hour to see through this complete waste of a shirt so hopefully that's the last we'll see of him.

NUFC 0-1 Beasts (Defoe)

A much improved performance. Already after just a couple of days training the team looks far more organised and we actually looked as if we had some sort of game plan. However we have 1 serious problem and that is we have no centre forward worthy of the name. That was our 7th 1-0 defeat of the season and I fear there'll be quite a few 1-0 defeats in our final 9 games because Rafa will organise the defence but we just can't score goals. For that reason we're still dead certs for the drop but if we can somehow persuade Rafa to stop on in the championship then at least there'll be reason to be optimistic for the future. Another bonus was that it only took him 55 minutes to see through the totally pointless Vernon Anita so hopefully that's the last we'll see of him.

Some decent enough play but watching this it's painfully obvious why we've only scored 7 goals away from home all season and won't score here either.

Hope Doumbia gets 20 minutes in his place.

Didn't take Rafa long to see what a pointless player Anita is.

He's crap but in his defence he's playing out of position. Once again the game just totally passes Anita by which basically sums up his entire NUFC career yet he won't get anywhere near the same levels of abuse on here.

He'll be the invisible man as usual.

Our team just looks rotten tbh.

This is the most likely scenario like.

As excited as I am about Benitez coming in I'm still expecting the cowards playing in black and white to totally let everyone down again tonight and fall to another tame loss with fistpumps coming out in tomorrow's chronicle telling everyone that the players are hurting but they'll put things right on Sunday.

If you start singing songs about Newcastle I'm sure there'll be plenty joining in with you mate.

Most people on here won't even be at the match anyway so I don't know why they're getting their knickers in a twist about it. Just a load of faux outrage really.

Aye Hull away. There's another one of him getting a heroes reception at the SoS on his return after they lifted his suspension. So about 4,000 max. Aye their hardcore support.

Look at the video of Sunderland fans at Hull. If you think that's the minority of them singing "he shags who he wants" then you're very much mistaken. They've also chanted about Bobby Robson being nearly dead, wishing Steven Taylor was dead and racially abused Olivier Bernard all in recent memory. Like I say they deserve what's coming to them.

To be honest I couldn't care less. It's got nowt to do with me. Daft getting offending by football chants anyway really. More so if you're actually a football fan yourself. Fair enough, fill your boots. ? I will mate! That's the problem these days. People are always looking for something to be offended by.

No problem with it. It's what football supporters have always done and always will do. SAFC have given us (and everyone else) a massive stick to beat them with and that's what will happen. They were happy enough to dish the paedo stuff out to Middlesbrough for years, now the shoe's on the other foot and they'll have to take whatever comes their way. They harboured a nonce to their own advantage for a year. They deserve all the abuse they get.
