WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 You'd think that losing just about every game this season that they'd be used to it and accept their squad is not good enough for the Premier League. Yet there's still excuses, lying and straw clutching Got a recording on my phone of a mackem mate on Total Sport saying he was "cautiously optimistic" on the eve of the season. Him and Marco go on to discuss all their new signings and that for once the club is going in a "clear direction", especially with Di Fanti in charge of recruitment. It's all gold. YouTube dat. Not yet. If they go down I'll soundcloud it at the end of the season. I'm not jumping the gun yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexf Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 Think that red card was a direct result of them now having a reputation of being incredibly dirty cunts. After all their recent bad tackles and the Larsson one getting plenty of press coverage before the international break the ref has just assumed Browns gone in to do someone. Still a terrible decision mind but don't mind seeing them getting what's coming to them for all their terrible tackles lately. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 Loads of them jumped on a tweet from Brian McNally earlier saying he once spoke with an ex-SAFC manager (has to be Keane or MoN) who claimed Friend had an anti-sunderland agenda. 1) I don't believe that he has an anti-sunderland agenda (despite being born in Bristol and a member of the Leicestershire and Rutland County Football Association - so clearly a Mag). 2) McNally talks out his arse a lot of the time anyway.

Benwell Lad Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 See they've got another "points total from the next 10 games" thread going. Probably their favourite discussion point after "why we're the best fans in the world despite plummeting attendances" and "the whole world is against us" threads. Unsurprisingly some are predicting an upturn to Champions League type form Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unsurprisingly some are predicting an upturn to Champions League type form some of them will post a wildly optimistic total from 10 games, convince themselves it will come true, be happy again til it doesn't, wonder where it all went wrong. Rinse and repeat........ Its fucking hilarious and been going on for years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dokko Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Disgusting really. Excellent tackle and the only thing Brown was guilty of was not still playing for Manu. Hope they don't let it drop, the FA need to be held accountable for their utterly pathetic decisions both during and after games concerning red cards and fouls.

Guest firetotheworks Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Agreed. Normally I'd find it funny with it being Sunderland, but if they're not saying that it was a mistake, mixed with Rooney getting away with swiping someone's legs and the whole Haidara situation last season, I hope they do fight it and fight it tbh. It's an utter joke. The whole system is so blatantly corrupt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 They never seem to repeal the ones where it was just proven to be wrong later but a case can be made for the sending off at the time. Undermining the ref etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure he's just a shit ref. We have a pretty good record with him (think we won every game when he was a ref during the Championship year), but now that he's in the Premier League weekly it's pretty clear he's a bit out of his depth.

Benwell Lad Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Don't see how anyone can sympathise with them considering what they've got away with recently. They're a dirty team who go out to hurt opposition players, as was clearly illustrated in two of their recent matches, so if they get an occasional one given against them then it's their own fault. Their manager would be better off addressing their dirty attitude to the game rather than behaving like a demented chimpanzee. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
