Agreed. I was at the game yesterday and I wasn't sure about the first sending off tbh, but after watching the highlights on MOTD, it's quite clear the ref has made the correct decision on both sending offs. Stoke have only themselves to blame. Could of got something from the game, but they blew it, and we took advantage. Good win for us in the end. 33 points already, can't complain at all. Brilliant!

From same page Di Canio on training at Sunderland when he arrived: "Saturday - get beat, Sun - day off, Mon - golf, Tue - bit of training, Wed - day off."

Fucks sake

Another shit result for us. Wasn't expecting much from Swansea though.

Shit result for us.

ManU being referred to simply as "United", despite other clubs having as much or more claim to that title (us, Leeds), is a definite pet hate. Agreed with this. Think there's 14 other United's in the English leagues. Annoying how Man.Utd get referred to as the only one basically.

Absolute dominance from start to finish. Palace had one chance the whole game, and we made them look like the relegation fodder they are. Thought everyone was solid and played well, particularly Cabaye. Brilliant. 30 points on the board already is a great achievement, and hopefully we can keep pushing on. Absolutely chuffed with that performance and result. 3 flattered them tbh, could of had 5-6.

The Man.Utd "fans" are absolutely vile like.

Still rate him as a Manager, but think he's done in English football now. Think he'll get a good job abroad and do well, but can't see any other English based teams giving him a shot. Expected him to get to the end of the season at least.

Even with 11 men Spurs were awful, totally deserve this hammering. 100 million spent, and beaten 5-0/6-0 by your rivals is not good enough. Very likely AVB will be out the door by Christmas.

Nor should the full back and centre half be letting Cleverley just wander casually between them. Been some shocking defending by Villa today. True. Watched Villa at Fulham and today, and they've been appalling.

Guzan shouldn't be getting beat at near post from there.

When Cisse first arrived he never stopped running. I think his work rate and confidence have both dropped significantly since that time. I've given up on him at this point. I really think we need to do everything possible to bring in another striker, even if it's on loan.

No way! He's back to his injury prone ways then. Knew last season was a blip. Sounds like he was rushed back way too early to play against us. Probably done himself damage long term now. Doubt this will be his last injury this season.

Think Moyes was let down in the summer, tbh. They urgently needed to buy some decent midfielders. Obviously not getting Fàbregas was a big blow, and Fellaini not being able to get into form has added extra pressure onto him. If they improved their midfield four I could see they getting themselves into the Champions League spots, but I think it will be 2-3 windows until you see them at their best. Have to wounder if the "fans" will give Moyes that time. Boos at full time seem to be the norm now at OT.

Just watched our goal again and noticed a banner which read: "M.U.F.C. NOT ARROGANT JUST BETTER" Not anymore

Our wins against Chelsea, Tottenham and Man.Utd have all been highlighted in the media as the opposition being "poor", and very little being said about our quality or tactics. Been looking for a positive spin on our win, but that only seems to be on here and in The Chronicle. MOTD were obviously very 'selective' with their footage. But you're right, if we sneak under the radar then it may help us in the long run. Hopefully surprise a few pundits with our final league position.

Gus Poyet planning January shake-up at Sunderland http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11695/9065243/transfer-news-gus-poyet-planning-january-shake-up-at-sunderland More new signings incoming

Only seem to talk about England, Man.Utd or Arsenal. Watched it the last few weeks, but couldn't handle yesterdays show. Was waiting to hear them talk about Newcastle beating Man.Utd, but was just 5 minutes on Moyes. Swiftly moved onto Arsenal from there.

Our 'luck' bags us 3 points again http://www.readytogo.net/smb/threads/man-utd-vs-the-92ers.845101/page-4

Think we need to control the midfield if we're gonna get something. Theirs is dreadful, but RVP/Hernandez will obviously score at some point. Need to grab a couple goals really. Pardew said earlier in the week he's hoping to be in the game towards the end and steal one in the last few minutes, similar to Chelsea. Probably not going to work this time round though

Cannot possibly be worse than dowd or webb Think Mariner is ok. I feel less confident about a result when I know Webb is in charge though.

Can see this being a scrappy game, tbh. I'd go with 1-0 to Newcastle. Think Swansea won't have enough without Bony/Michu.
