No. Thanks

Got a feeling this might be a heavy defeat, 4-0 or 5-0 not out of the question.

Will he stay when we go down?

If Rafa thinks he should be starting I'll trust Rafa over any of you cunts. .....Lovely people of the forum

Feel like this is going to be a disaster and the small amounts I've seen of both I'd give Woodman the nod, not much to go off but he looked class in pre-season. Darlow is a disaster waiting to happen but we might be pleasantly surprised, lets be honest everyone expected the worst when Elliot came in and hes been better than Krul has been for quite some time, whether you like to admit it or not.

A narrow defeat from the league leaders away and managed to stop the rot in the derby, by no means amazing but more than either of those twats could achieve, not to mention hes not even had a month with the players yet

As some said he was probably our biggest threat first half, but he bottled out of so many tackles, just like Perez and Sissoko.

I think Rafa will have an effect and we will be more far more competitive but for some reason I just can't see past us losing again, they obviously have the massive psychological advantage in this fixture and a lot of our players are bottlers to say the least. No to mention it seems to mean more to Sunderland and their players as every derby is literally their World cup final. Really hope I;m wrong.

We have to fucking win this time man!

Would be tempted to get him in, I'm not a big fan of his but he always seems to pop up with goals more often than not. We might miss the hold up play element of dropping Mitro but goals are more important at this stage, though with our level of service to the strikers goals from Papiss are not guaranteed.

About time this waster was dropped, absolutely pony.

Don't get the love in for him personally, petrified on the ball and weak as piss for such a big lad, not impressed one bit as of yet.

Our defence is a disgrace, it's why I think even with Rafa its gonna be a massive, massive ask to keep us up.

Think we'll lose 3-1 in all honesty, probably too early for Rafa to put any stamp on it.

And you're probably a fat ugly tw@t but I wouldn't say it because it is irrelevant and personal

Elliot, Janmaat, Taylor, Lascelles, Colback, Sissoko, Shelvey, Saivet, Wiji, Perez, Mitro. Would be my prediction.

We're winning this one you fucking cunts!

wat

Knowing us he will keep us up at a canter then have a massive bust up with Ashley/Charnley/Carr pre-season and fuck off

Still a 6 for me, still think we're more likely to go down than not but could go either way, I have a lot of confidence in Rafa but I just think we've left it too late, there are plenty of winnable games left but it all depends on how quickly the players take to him and his methods. The derby is absolutely huge for both teams, whoever wins will have the boost to go on and stay up I think. If its a draw its still anyone's.

0-2 win.

Sure I noticed the back of Tiote's head on one of the pictures mind. Would be important if he was fit, a Colback-less midfield would be canny.

BUT WHO COULD WE GET? WHO WOULD WANT TO COME HERE AND MANAGE US? FUCK OFF.
