bhoywhonder Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 I've seen this several times on Facebook; http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160526/19bbc659e51a4fe7249ffddca2eda476.jpg So I've been replying to the twerps with this! In those matches; Di Canio; P 7 W 2 D 2 L 3 GD -3 Points per game 1.14 Mussolini tattoos 2 Rafa; P 10 W 3 D 4 L 3 GD +4 Points per game 1.3 Mussolini tattoos 0 Well, thats that sorted, Benito is a superior manager to Rafa. Those thunderc*nts are complete strangers to reality I swear. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Howaythetoon Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 I can safely see them being top 10 next season. Big Sam could be their Peter Ried. Based on what, are they going to change the pay day players they sign and the ethos of that ramshackle pit of a club (mind there are sure to be a new crim or two about to help them), remember they will not have the drive to better us...their only reason for existence I just think some people are a good fit for certain clubs. Big Sam at Bolton for example. I can see him being that kind of fit for the mackems. Bear in mind expectations are to finish above the Mags ftm well durgh and having relegated us and kept them up, well he's the fucking daddy over in mackem land.

hithere Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Even if Benitez had a few too many celebratory drinks and suddenly forgot everything good he knows about football, and every single decent player we've got decided they were allergic to black and white shirts, how could anyone seriously suggest we won't have the pick of any player at that level? You will have to be fair although Villa won't be far behind, depends how these new owners are. It's a fantastic appointment and if he's given full control (big if) you'll come back up.

Considering the pressure we were putting on them. They got a little lucky with fixtures in the end, I'll certainly not forgive Everton, Arsenal and Chelsea for the way they helped them to safety but if they had kept that kind of form going through the season, no reason why they couldn't have been around West Ham's level. The fat f***er made some good signings too, that Kone looks like a bit of a beast, putting Kirchoff into midfield was probably the factor that saved them, he looked woeful on his debut at Spuds at CB but was transformed when he moved him into the holding role, that other guy that scored that goal against Chelsea looks decent too. More signings like that, that fit the way he wants to play and they will be a pretty solid unit. The expectations there are minimal, just stay up, that's perfect for fat face, he's under no pressure, has the confidence of the fans and the owners and can play the way he knows to get results. The problems won't start to appear until they start to expect progression. That's what happened at Bolton, they were very successful during his time but the football left a lot to be desired, they were happy initially to put up with that because they were competing at a level well beyond where they were. Once expectations rose, the fan base became more displeased with what was on show. It'll come with Sunderland too, but it'll take some time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Fat Sam is fucking shit man. Why the fuck else would he have ended up at Sunderland? Oh yeah...maybe if he was called Allardici he would have been headhunted by Inter Milan or Leicester and won the premier. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lush Vlad Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 From what I could tell. Towards the end of the season, Allardyce went with 3 holding midfielders and was relying on Borini and Khazri to create something and Defoe to keep scoring. Which in fairness, he did. Is that a formula to use for an entire season? It sounds similar to Pardew, TBH. Considering how negative his football is. Their defensive record was still pretty bad. Hardly kept any clean sheets if memory serves. Allardyce is what he is. A prehistoric, arrogant fuck. Who thinks he is some sort of genius. When in reality, he's a land whale, that plays God awful football. He'll comfortably see you to lower-mid table. If that's the height of your ambition, then great. But surely sunderland eventually want more than that? I think the fans will grow tired of his dross and he'll move on after a short while. When everyone told me last time we went down. We would have stayed up if we kept hold of him for longer. Well, I'd rather take relegation. His Newcastle team, was as bad to watch as Souness'. He spent a fair bit and all. Pretty much all on shite. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much all on s****. I've always thought he was cupable in part for our eventual relegation. Look at the players he left us with - Smith, Viduka, Geremi to name three. All too slow and mostly past their best as well as being on big wages and long contracts which I think also helped create Ashley's flawed transfer blueprint.

We needed a bruiser like him all season. Should have got Lascelles in the team earlier than we did. Fair point on the defensive front. I was thinking solely clean sheets.

sbnufc Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 You know what I mean Spurs/Leicester are good defensively. Playing a back 7 (literally in some games) is no way to play over a season, like lush vlad said Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy84 Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 Aye. I'm not an advocate of Allardyce btw, just the facts are there to see with Sunderland 2nd half of the season.
