Horrible this. More sorry for the lad because that could likely be it now for his time with us. For us its a reliable squad player gone for the season - small things like this mounting up will have a significant impact in the end. Very much think we need recruits. Were weaker than we started the season with now and that was borderline for improvement on the form of last season.

Now that's a wheelie bin

Nowt wrong with being a bit flattened by it. We were completely sorted in that position and now were not. That will remain the case this season but overall squad-wise if there's another outfield addition or two, I'll take it.

In a reversal of convention perhaps we could put in his contract that he must play against us rather than not.

That might be the most random and obscure selector of a dream team I've seen. Had his name on my shirt back in the day, well Nico 18 (wasn't it?) anyway

Like Jim Smith said of Robbie Savage, he wants to be a character but tries far too hard to be one to be one.

I realised after I did that unfortunately. My bad. Some poor b*stard on our thread on there, one of their own, getting chased for having the temerity to comment on Neves comments, then fireback that it was a bit much for 9/11 bombs stoning and rape to be mentioned in a reply. Being sane and going on that thread was his first mistake.

Shame they've changed executives. Woodwood wood have wanted Wood.

Its like a reverse 1992, nowt since the 30's really counts or something. 30 teams have played more games in Europe than them, Hull and Wimbledon the same. Be interesting who the joint 31st most games in Europe teams in other countries were for perspective. Bar attendances, which were not notable for the last 30years at Roker Park (highest average 31k, half below 20k), they're Palace or Charlton.,

Beardsley-esque on both counts.

All things being equal we'd run 7th close. Its just a few injuries and were vulnerable with what we have to bring in to replace them.

Slagged him off most of the game (only had the radio on for the first half)

Replaced 90s Blackburn 90/91 0-1 1-0 92/93 1-0 93/94 1-1 1-0 94/95 1-1 1-0 95/96 1-0 97/98 1-1 1-0 98/99 1-1 0-1

In the hubbub of the moment I missed the commentary after the goal of "well lets focus on the negative first" in as downcast a tone as possible. Aye lets not focus on the great last minute volley initially cos that would be wrong. Dry your eyes c**t btw Howe and Tindall giving instructions after the goal is proper studious and encouraging

Sneakily but surely, yet another 1-1 with these

That's reminscent of our opponents during the Bruce era, I'll give him that.

Yeah, can see why they're not fond (but at the same time f**k them, they're horrible). Dark arts and counter attacks.

Very good performance considering what we had out, for all the reactionary stuff when we went behind. Deserved more in the end. Nice to first shut their exceptionally wanky fans up then stick one right up them at the end

Fully deserved

Would be for best. Howe's done great but were scamming by with some of these players.

Miggy cutting back on to his other foot rather than getting the cross in. benched Wood's fault or the wingers?

but not Miggy or anyone else?!

Aye but its not Woods fault that Max doesn't cross not more than its not his fault that Almiron or anybody else doesn't. Just be fair about it. He can win us games but a lot more often than not plays like this. Whether its Wood, Wilson or Carroll

Criticising Wood okay, but blaming him for ASM's short comings isn't on. He's been a one good game a month player long before Wood arrived.
