Was it not for that young sunderland fan (Bradley Lowery)? Didn't the mackems light up their phones at one of their games for him recently or am I just totally making things up in my heed?

A draw is a cracking result, especially as they came from behind to snatch it in the last minute. It makes "The King" look like he knows what he is doing. Their next 4 fixtures are quite interesting... Man Utd - Home Chelsea - Home Watford - Away Arsenal - Away

As much as I see your point, my parents always listened to what I had to say when I was a kid. For example: If I'd been naughty in school (or whilst playing out after school) and they were informed about it by the head teacher, they'd always ask me first what was going on or what had happened. 9 times out of 10 I was at fault and got a clip round the lug off my dad but I never felt like I didn't have a voice and I always felt like I could tell my parents anything. This is obviously just a personal point of view.

16 man. Should be hitting 30 this year.

Started the game well today. It's key that we start well at home. Get in lads.

It is utterly tragic but all this clapping during minutes at matches is getting absolutely ridiculous! It's been picked up by the media now; http://www.itv.com/news/tyne-tees/update/2016-12-08/nufc-fans-unite-for-terminally-ill-bradley-lowery/ Sunderland clap on the 17th minute too don't they? #Sarcasm

We need to start well today. In the 3 home games we've lost (Huddersfield, Wolves and Blackburn) we've started absolutely s**** and gone on to lose. We never seem to recover from a bad start and we just seem to carry on playing that way for the rest of the game. So a quick, bright start in the opening 15 minutes and I think we'll be fine.

Seen this one facebook... NUFC fans in December 2015 vs NUFC fans in December 2016

Hull to go 2-0 up and then Palace to claw it back to 2-2 near the end? Ring any bells?

Just a matter of time now before he gets the bullet. The guy is a total knob gobbler.

Who cares.

Great to hear again.

Shite anyway Marra.

Rinse and repeat for next season. Ambition!!!

Their biggest win of the decade has been proven to be a complete sham with these red cards getting overturned and they aren't taking it well.

Just about to post this, cracking news. https://twitter.com/CaulkinTheTimes/status/806180605092315136

When was the last time Defoe got injured? Never known a player go so long without getting injured. Lucky bastards.

Exactly. It's a winnable game. Its better than Chelsea away or something similar.

I'm getting mixed messages here. They've won 3 games since then. Top of the Relegation Zone!!!

Moyes has a reputation for starting a season slow, fair that this one was slower than most. I'm optimistic we'll be alright while he's here. What about all the Moyes out threads on RTG prior to the last month? Will you all be re-writing history (as usual) and claiming you always had faith in him and you never wanted him out?

Or perhaps they just realise when a player maybe won't make it at the top level rather than just having blind hope because he "a local lad"?

I actually agree with this. Same here. Hope I am proved wrong to be honest but I can't see it. Err, I've never said this like He literally said a week or so ago that he was wanting to try Mitrovic out with Gayle. My issue, if I've got one, would be people saying he's too reserved and that we'd be blowing teams out the water if we switched to 4-4-2. This despite us being top of the league and the league's highest scorers playing the system that Rafa's played since Valencia (?) It's always worked for him and if he thinks it's what we're best playing with at the moment I'm not going to argue. I'm sick of hearing people go on about wanting us to play 2 up front despite us being top of the league and been on 9 game winning runs people want us to totally forget the way we've played all season and change the formation. Mental.

Too much analysis for me. They show more of the pundits talking about a certain match then they do of the actual match. I watch it to watch the actual football, not to watch people talk about football.
