TRC Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 I said all along this season they were a decent side, people got very defensive. They aren't, they are a poor side surrounded by teams who are worse I don't agree with that, they have a solid defense, Borini, Johnson and Ki are good players, and Fletcher is out of form but better than any of our strikers. Manone is a good keeper too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRC Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Since Brown has came back they have been solid at the back. Johnson has 6 in 6 this year, Borini is making a big difference for them. Ki is a canny player. I'm not counting De Jong, but I'd pick Fletcher over Cisse or Shola. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRC Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 All under Poyet, since he took over they have been fairly solid. Yes I am. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHoob Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Like I said in the other thread they've not been anything special here. They've gotten everything from the ref so far and they are looking shite against 10 men. I do think Ki is good and with Brown and O'Shea at the back they are pretty solid though they've both got a brain fart in them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilko Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 There's never been less pressure on a manager going into derby games as there is with Pardew. He knows if he loses, his job is safe and most of the gimps in the stand will be singing his name soon as we edge past another bottom half side at home. Probably why he and the players never seem to give a fuck about getting turned over, whilst the mackems look bang up for it every time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Btw getting bossed at home against 10 man stoke Still winning and will win. That relevant to the point about them being a poor side? It's a point relevant to very little. Like TRC pointed out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a point relevant to very little. Like TRC pointed out. How? I'm saying they are a poor side as evidenced by their league position and their performances, including this one. Not relevant like You didn't mention their league position, which is now out of the relegation zone btw, and other performances. Not stepping it up against a 10 man team is quite common, especially when you have the lead. Happens all the time. We couldn't beat stoke with 11, which is what they were doing.

Yep, especially those twits that sing his name about a week later. As Wullie said, we'll never win another derby with this cunt in charge. Fuck him.

Dr.Spaceman Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 They were fucking shite tonight, and they looked knackered by the end of it. If we don't at least get a point, they want lined up and shot with shit. The entire lot of them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
afar Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 They are a side right now who are just picking up points and pulling themselves away from the mess down there. Really all those people on here who said there was no way they would stay up, really need to learn there are no certainties in football, if they stay up and win the cup final they are in they will have had the most successful season for any North East club in over 40 years !! It's fucking galling tbh, they might be riding their luck but I'm not confident at all about this weekend Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unbelievable Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 You look at how we dominated Norwich yesterday and didn't get the 3 points and how shit Sunderland were today, yet got the win, and you wonder: is God a mackem? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll be lively the first 15 minutes or so then we'll batter them the rest of the match. They've done fuck all to deserve the results they've had. It'll end with us.

I'm not even from the area and I can't stand Sunderland. Seem to fluke their way through things all the time and then their fans have the nerve to claim we're a lucky team.

It's fucking true man, despite all our close run things under KK and SBR, we won nowt. Even if we discount our champions league runs, our modest success with the inter-toto, and our near-misses in the Premier League, Boro have a league cup win and a UEFA cup final. It's really fucking tenuous to claim that a Mickey Mouse Cup win and avoiding the drop is the best season of any club in the northeast for 40 years. You'd have to REALLY cherry pick your criteria.
