Fuck me Southampton absolutely shit themselves there

Aye - 3 match ban on the way. Should be more - that was awful

Compare and contrast with Pardew. Just when I thought I couldn't love this bloke any more.

Definitely helps having a consistent, solid defence in front of him, but another reason he's facing less shots is because he's so good at coming and claiming crosses - cuts the danger out at source.

F365 had him in their top 10 keepers of the season despite only playing 6 games

Even the Guardian taking the piss out of them today https://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2018/apr/11/chris-coleman-seinfeld-sunderland

Their away form in the league is terrible - most recent results: L 1-3 Swansea L 1-2 Bournemouth L 0-1 Spurs L 1-2 Brighton Not a single point away from home in 2018!

Here we go again... Fucking hell man, it's so predictable it's painful.

Well this thread has made my morning, pissing myself laughing here The whole Stifler ITK thing is weirdly believeable, just can't see why someone would go to such lengths to make that kind of shit up

Liverpool will be shitting it a bit watching this

Playing well, think the ref got both big decisions right tbh. Co-commentator is Garry Birtles by the way, he's always this miserable, think he just hates his life

We've 12 points from our last 7, which included Liverpool and Man United - can see a similar return from our remaining games tbh.

Birmingham and Hull safe now I reckon. If you look at the remaining fixtures Reading have the toughest run in, if the mackems beat them away they've a slim chance of catching them still.

He's scoring at the same rate Gayle did in the Championship (and Shola last time round) - good chance they're in that same category of strikers that are too good for the Championship but not quite good enough for the Prem.

ooh deep

Well this is disappointing.

City currently have 84% possession, wonder if Allardyce will get all the shit Rafa did from the pundits

Aye, was limping for a few minutes before he went off, but ran off the pitch OK so hopefully not too bad

Couple of trademark sliding tackles today - he absolutely loves it

I'm still a 1 while it's mathematically possible but that's us pretty much done.

He better fucking stay there

I would like to laugh it off, but given our luck it would then turn out he's Rafa's first signing for them.

The mackems have won 5 in 37, they're highly unlikely to start stringing victories together at this stage.

I think statistically managerial changes this late rarely do any good, but I guess they had to try.
