I will always remember the pit in my stomach when I woke up and throughout an entire bus ride that day. RIP Speedo

He just get subbed off? Not watching

10, Alves isn't from the academy

Hate how all the bigger games in Europe are on Sundays at the same time. Spreading them around would be very convenient.

The good news is we had Stoke's number last season, maybe it works again this time.

He's used the word verve in probably the last five post-match interviews. When will he realize it's not going to suddenly happen if he doesn't change the system? You can't just tell players to play well and expect it to happen.

Miles Starforth ‏@milesstarforth Steven Taylor unlikely to play against Stoke City on Wednesday night after suffering a hamstring problem this afternoon.

If we need to play him it should be at fullback.

Tbf, I think most of us questioned Pardew's style when things were going well, but what else were we supposed to say when we're fighting for a Champions League spot?

I'm not saying he should be sacked, but I would have no problems if he was.

Not going to call for Pardew's head, but even with injuries we should be better than this. No ball retention, shit long balls, shit tactics, Ba/Cisse never working, etc. I don't see this changing anytime soon, if this keeps up he probably doesn't even deserve a chance in January.

This is the darkest timeline.

The worst part is I'm at acceptance already.

Anita looking lively this half.

I honestly don't think he wants to keep the ball, he can't be so obtuse to not see what's happening.

Always coming

Why don't we just swing a free kick in the middle of the box? It's the same shit every game.

Amazing how much we've regressed.

He's been incredibly bad today.

Definitely better than those new, modern rapes.

7. 2-1 8. 1-1 9. 2-2 10. 1-0

Would rather he resigns, Sunderland fans really expected they would go to another level with him.

peter lansley ‏@LansleyTimes Martin O'Neill has not and won't be resigning. End of.

Was coming

It's so bad that even my inexplicable optimism that this will eventually change has gone.
