Sunderland 1 - 1 Newcastle United - 16/01/11 - post match reaction from page 41


Recommended Posts

Sunderlands midfield four today were appalling. They might as well have not played, they continually bypassed the middle of the field all day.

Apparently the song was going to be "Run for Home" by Lindisfarne.

 

Poor Brucie waited months to get his revenge and in the end they barely escaped the ultimate humiliation. There's only one person who should be running for home....back to Coronation Street.

So Sunderland's biggest day, and Bruce was planning on celebrating it by playing a song by a Geordie band. :lol:

 

Maybe Futureheads, "The City Is Here For You To Use" would have been more apt since he still spends all of his time here.

Home Newcastle would have been fitting for him and his players.

They're a very poor side,and it shows how average the Premiership is if they're in 6th.

 

I thought Webb was poor today,to allow Bramble,Bardsley and Ramalamalaurelandhardy to get away without at least booking them whilst booking Joey for nothing was pathetic.

 

Their whole game was based on Gordon lumping it and them trying to feed off the scraps where our clearing headers were landing.They make the Wimbledon sides of the 80's and 90's look like Brazil.

 

It's no wonder they only fill the Stadium of Shite when we're in town.

Louise Taylor will have heard an anti-islamic song towards Elmohamady, can guarantee it

 

Absolutely nothing to do with the Songs of the EDL album she just loaded onto her iPod. Nothing at all.

 

Nah she loves the muslims, they pay for her holidays after all.

I may be losing my grasp on football but after seeing about 5 or 6 of their games this season can someone please explain the Jordan Henderson hype to me ?  What is it he does ?

Is it speed, getting past defenders, goal scoring, passing - I'm trying to see what it is he does to get talked about so much, but I just seem to be missing the point ??

The Football Association is poised to launch an investigation after a young Sunderland fan invaded the pitch and attacked the Newcastle United goalkeeper, Steve Harper, in the 1-1 draw at the Stadium of Light today.

 

It is the second time in a week that a player has been attacked by a supporter, after a man was charged for assaulting Stevenage's Scott Laird following their shock FA Cup victory over Newcastle.

 

The Sunderland manager, Steve Bruce, condemned the incident on an afternoon in which rival supporters ripped seats out of their stanchions and hurled them at each other after the final whistle. Northumbria Police said there had been 24 arrests before, during and after the game,, which was attended by a crowd of 47,864, for offences including drunk and disorderly, disorderly conduct and invading the playing area.

 

Bruce, who as a neighbour of Harper in Northumberland regularly meets the goalkeeper when they are out walking their Boxer dogs, was appalled by the events which unfolded after Asamoah Gyan's goal – struck in the fourth minute of stoppage time – levelled Kevin Nolan's opener. "The kid's in police custody," Bruce said, before expressing relief that Howard Webb, the referee, had combined with horrified spectators in helping the police to identify and arrest the culprit. "I hope he's banned for a long, long time. I saw Steve Harper on the floor and I didn't know what had happened. We never want to see scenes like that; I don't know what was going through the kid's mind. It was ridiculous.

 

"When I saw the kid – and he really is just a kid – I can't understand society today. I would like to say well done to the Sunderland fans who gave him up."

 

Alan Pardew, Newcastle's manager – who once again reiterated that his key striker Andy Carroll, absent here due to a thigh injury, is "definitely not" for sale – suggested the youth had merely become overexcited. "When I first saw it I thought it looked an uglier incident than it really was," Pardew said. "I don't think there was anything malicious about it, there wasn't a punch thrown or anything."

 

Even so the FA will await Webb's referee's report with interest and will almost certainly launch an inquiry into today's events on Wearside before potentially imposing sanctions on Sunderland.

 

The match commander, temporary Chief Superintendent Steve Neill, said: "The crowd was mainly good natured. However, there were still some troublemakers who were determined to spoil things for the genuine fans."

Fucking loved today despite that late goal. Obviously disappointed with that, but I really thought they were going to have a glorious revenge rape. Also I was on the border with the mackems so I wound them up no end, laughing at them gloating at a 1-1 home draw. So sweet seeing someone dragged away or aiming coins at you as 5-1 gestures turn to hurt.

It cant be underestimated how big a deal this was. A fan running on the pitch and assaulting a player deserves heavy sanctions.
