Mick Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 We'll f***ing c*** the soft mackem bastards. Their players always bottle it. It starts as soon as they reach St James'. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Hope you're right but the cowardly way we approach games these days doesn't bode well from that point of view. Pardew will spend all week telling our players how good their players are and how we need to stop them while our own flair players are being told just to get stuck in.

Mole_Toonfan Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 The problem today was as it always is against smaller teams we lack aggression and get too relaxed and lazy. Wont happen in the derby, i expect nothing but a win i will be very very angry if we dont. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shak Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Wonder if Raylor will keep his spot after basically not contributing anything today. I'd start Obertan ahead of him like. He's shite but with the way we're set up Raylor may as well not even be there when he plays RW. At least Obertan gives us some width and pace. We could always play that other French lad as well of course, the one who's actually good at football, but I'm trying to keep things somewhat realistic.

TRC Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 I was mocked when I said Sunderland would beat us. I'm feeling less and less confident every day. We have the team to win, but tactically we are hopeless. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BlacknWhiteArmy Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Raylor will start, mainly to contain McLean. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Varadi Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 They'll sit deep and try to counter-attack, we'll be careful not too commit too many forward so resort to long balls again. It's going to be a shit game, fancy us to sneak it simply because they usually drop their arses, but would probably take a draw. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Venkman Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Still maintain we'll beat them, 2-0 at half time. Form goes out the window etc, it's Sunderland, they'll bottle it. do you want to rethink that- we beat wolves 2-0 at half time, I just think we'll win it and that we'll be 2-0 up by half time. I appreciate that they've improved but I think their style of football being played by Sunderland players at St James Park can only work if they've got a shit load of bottle, and they haven't.

David28 Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 I hope Pardew will play the same formation like he did against Fulham away earlier this year. Just with Ba and Cisse for Shola and Best. CM is a hard one to chose between Cabaye, Guthrie and Tiote. Think Cheick has to start, while Cabaye will start. We looked brilliant there in the first half. Was actually enjoyable to watch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steggy Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Hope this game aint gonna be played on paper, they'll fucking slam us, we dont have a chance. We all know how much better they are on paper. Grass on the other hand we might just sneek it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 3-1 win. Ba & Cisse in the first-half, Sausages will make it nervy early in the second, then Shola will bang in a late-penalty. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JH Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Think they're just as one-dimensional as we are tbh. Yesterday proved that. If the team get the crowd onside/grab an early goal, then we'll win it comfortably. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
