Pickford

Stones - Jones - Cahill

Walker - Dier - Wilshere - Bertrand

Sterling - Kane - Alli

Gifted 2 own goals and despite coming from 3-0 down they have lost ground on the bottom 3. All of the bottom teams picked up a point apart from Hull who got 3. They can now win a game and still not be out of the bottom 3 providing the teams above them lose that is.

 

These have all of the top half bar 3 teams still left to play out of 15 games and with this time of the season teams chasing play offs

 

These are going down make no bones about it

Every poster on here takes the piss somewhat and fair game.

You however seem to have a real problem with Sunderland, like it really bothers you.

Why?

 

Been s**** every time I've seen him, weird

Has had one good game in the year and a half he’s played for us. Palace away last season.

Could be a case that he’s just been severely dragged down by the shite around him but if I were a Watford fan I wouldn’t be hopeful. I’ve never seen a player misplace as many 5 yard passes, and I’ve watched Jeff Whitley.

Son is brilliant

At least Walters can get on with his proper passion in life at Sunderland, drinking.

 

Indeed.

 

They do love their Irish p*ss-heads there mind.

Walters a piss head like?

Genuine question

What happened to the resident mackems on here?

 

Still here, but to be fair you’re all doing a fine job of summarising the s*** we’re in that I feel I can’t add much

Hard times. Do you think SAFC were in a worse position (overall) before they were relegated to the old third division?

No idea I wasn’t even born the first time

1. De Gea

2. Dani Alves

3. Marcelo

4. Ramos

5. Pique

6. Azpilicueta

7. Ronaldo

8. De Bruyne

9. Neymar

10. Messi

11. Modric

3-4-3

Winning this at the moment

Mad how sought-after Evans is. £25m for a guy who looked to be going down the Sunderland Man Utd reject route.

2nd best centre half I’ve seen in a Sunderland shirt made Nyron Nosworthy look competent

Only Bould beats him. I know we’ve had some shite like...

They be Grabban a bargain based on how he’s done for the mackems so far!

Superb

January could be make or break for them. If Short allows Coleman to bring a few players in, maybe they'll pull away and be OK. If the handcuffs stay on or worse if they have to sell more players like Kone etc, it's only going to get worse as they'll be down to playing kids.

 

At least it makes a change from playing with them.

You haven’t watched Kone play much since Allardyce left?

Genuinely beginning to believe they'll drop to League One. Delicious.

You and me both

I dunno, like. At least their 02/03 squad had Kevin Phillips, who was a proven PL striker.

 

This, on the other hand, is really bad. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2005%E2%80%9306_Sunderland_A.F.C._season#First-team_squad

 

Jon Stead, one goal in all competitions. 

The horror, still could be worse...

Darron Gibson man

They’re going down

Patented backheel death clearance

What would people say is the best 11 for England as it stands?

Butland

Keane - Smalling - Cahill

Walker - Dier - Henderson - Rose

Alli - Lallana

Kane

3 at the back suits the players we currently have.

Said it on another page but selling Matic for £40m and getting Drinkwater for £35m is terrible business.

Truly awful

£45m for Siggurdson is absolutely fair enough within this ridiculous market like.

 

Still. Three assists from open play last season.

 

Why would you exclude his 10 set piece assists? They're buying him for that and his goal threat, not his assists and goals from open play.

 

Even then he's still a clever player in non-set piece situations, so it's not like he's the free kick version of Dean Whitehead or something.

Deano wasn't that bad from a dead ball if truth be told

That Everton team is slow.

Bolasie, Lookman, Coleman (if he recovers well), Mirallas, Calvert-Lewin they've got a bit

Grayson does not appear that have any lips. Good manager though according to my old Director, who is a Blackpool season ticket holder. Put it this way, he is going to have to be; Sunderland have spent an Ayrton Senna on half a dozen players.

 

I heard his interview after the draw against Derby and he came across quite okay tbh, a bit less vague and hung over than the usual British champ manager. If he makes them hard to beat they'll probably be able to stay around the play off positions.

Here's hoping

I'll post my team tomorrow, my team is pretty good bar forwards

Hope Defoe still has legs

Aboubakar Kamara has chosen #47 at Fulham. So he can be known as AK-47.

Meh, still a better reason than Bendtner

Matic to Man United. Good signing?
