Cajun Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 I want to remove enough of OptaJoe's fingers to stop him tagging a needless gimmicky word onto the end of his tweets. Three. I've dumped the fucker from Facebook for precisely that. Gone. I like them. Twat. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Wearside Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 I personally don't think they had many injuries, about average, probably the same amount as us yet we've a much smaller squad. They rode their luck first half of the season, they still can't quite see that, thought they have cottoned on their luck has changed, but really it's not bad, it's just normal and the quality is the real problem. What a load of rubbish. Whilst injuries are a feeble excuse I'd wager not many clubs in the league has had as many serious injuries as we've had and by serious I don't mean hamstrings or groin that keep you out for 2/3 weeks,I'm talking injuries that keep players out for months on end.

Guest Wearside Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 Toons Taylor claims we have only had an "average" amount of injuries,by anyones standards we have had a high amount of injuries and people who have been following Sunderland a lot longer than me can't recall a season as bad as this for serious injuries in there lifetime.

I actually think injuries to that duck egg Campbell and Captain Custard himself, Cattermole have been a blessing in disguise. Both are awful footballers. 31/10 showed there's a shocking lack of guts in Sunderland's dressing room and its a collective loss of bottle that's costing you, not injuries which are bing used as a smokescreen. What hasnt helped either was signing Muntari and Sessegnon, both of whom have been playing as if they couldn't give a toss. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than Bent, who couldn't wait to leave the club, who has Bruce signed that could actually be labelled a good buy for them? The jury's still out on Gyan, from what I've seen he's Oba Mark II and was hopelessly overpriced after WC2010. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 First choice goalkeeper missed over three months with shoulder ligament injury. Star signing and probably most talented player out for 30+ games with broken leg. Best striker and then top scorer out for a month and missing five games before being sold with no replacement. Ryan Taylor missed three months through injury. Steven Taylor missed three months through injury. Danny Guthrie missed two months through injury. Dan Gosling has missed pretty much all season through injury. Alan Smith will have missed four months through injury. Steven Ireland has missed nine matches through injury. Joey Barton recently missed five matches through injury. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
