Dokko Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Chopra is the exact example of why region and allegiance shouldn't influence your opinion on whether someone is a complete prick or not. It's very disrespectful to a team that give you a chance to play even if I do hate the fuckers Totally, absolute shit bag behaviour from him. Shame William hill didn't tweet him thanking him for the money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karjala Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Sunderland only really need a point tbh and will get one in next couple home games. Us however dear me a win would certainly make them safe, and they should get that. A draw from their next two and they could be fucked. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest fraser Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Compare and contrast Vaughan's gleeful volley for the 3-0 against us to his precise through-ball for Agbonlahor tonight. Anything could happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 I'd be a lot more confident if one of those games was away. Just can't see them not beating either Stoke or Saints. Two draws and that'll be them fine. Probably collude for a couple of draws. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming Southampton lose at Tottenham, if they were to lose to the mackems too then they'll go into the last day with a chance of going down (assuming Wigan get the points we expect). Might put a bit more on that game anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LRD Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 What a result to wake up to. Villa's GD somehow managed to go beyond us in a matter of 3 days. Hope results somehow contrive to send them down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Nixon Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 If there's anyone you want taking you into a cup final scenario it's Paolo "I'm just waving" Di Canio. If you listen to his pre-match discourse, he talks a lot about cup finals, and how Monday was: "Like Sunderland's Champions League final." If I was being cynical, I'd say there's an underlying belief that few if any of his players match the standard he is after. Instead of trying to compare in a more scientific way, he draws on the connotations of cup games - form going out the window, it all being about who performs on the day. Even the way they've played in the last two games (prior to tonight) has been with the mentality of a lower league side in the cup. They've had total disregard for the future or what running themselves into the ground might do. Admittedly the running is organised, quite well in fact, but with players who aren't up the levels of peak physical fitness you can't maintain that for more than an hour at best. I'd be keen to see what his media style is like this week. He's already removed all pressure from the players by taking the blame himself (a clever move I think). I'd expect similar cup-style comments this week, before they go out and potentially give Stoke a battle. Assuming they stay up (I think they will), the true evaluation of Di Canio will come next season. His transfer strategy was criminally poor at Swindon, he bused in almost two dozen players and ruffled a few feathers by giving preference to loan players for their trip to Wembley. He's going to have get his transfer decisions spot on, although realistically, it wouldn't be hard to improve most positions in that side right now. Bar Rose, Mignolet, Sessegnon, Johnson (occassionally) and Fletcher they're all quite average. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TaylorJ_01 Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Nixon He's, for me, primarily a motivator. I think he'll prove to be a bad manager given a full season. He is what they needed in a desperate scenario, as you said. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueStar Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Di Canio on Sessegnon appeal Sunderland boss Paolo Di Canio says the club will launch an appeal after Stephane Sessegnon was red-carded at Aston Villa. Sessegnon was sent off 20 minutes from the end of the 6-1 defeat at Villa Park following a challenge on Yacouba Sylla. Speaking after the game, Di Canio insisted there was no malice on the Beninese forward's part and says the club will ask the authorities to take another look at the decision. “There was not a straight leg...it is not a bad challenge,” he explained. “We saw the clip straight away in the dressing room. There was no intention to damage the opponent, so we are going to appeal.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
