its the only thing they will be top of this year :lol:

Not sure about the like, it is looking like a pretty remarkable season for our Wearside cousins. Lots of records which could be broken. None of which you'd want to break mind, but let's not be unduly critical.

Bournemouth are one of those good on their day sides that every time i watch tend to be rubbish but then look ace on motd

 

Would expect Bournemouth to beat them. Am a fan of how they play and think Eddie Howe is a great manager. Just realised today that they have an issue away from home. Thought they would give Boro a tougher game. They are 3-1-1 at home and 0-2-3 away.

 

Thankfully they are at home to the mackems next week so I suspect SAFC will be looking for their first win at home to Hull.

 

I'm not sure who to support on Monday mind. Swansea to try and cut Sunderland adrift (although not change their gap to safety) or Stoke to increase the safety gap but leave Swansea as another team in trouble with them.

 

I think it's going to be the mackems, the three promoted clubs, and Swansea filling the bottom five places. Therefore Boro's win and Burnley's point today are excellent as ultimately that's the gap they should be worried about.

If they go down i doubt they will get up in a long time. They are skint and even decent Championship players cost quite alot these days and they have next to nothing to build on from when you look at their current squad. They might sell a few players but they really don't have any mega valuable assets to sell.

Think Bournemouth will beat them, and they will beat Hull.

 

Still, its likely to be 8 points inside by Monday night, with a terrible goal difference. Can't see them getting more than 4, maximum 6, points before new year. Surely they are fucked.

 

Don't beat Hull, and its almost over.

Yeah I think 21 point gap, even at this stage will be too big a gap for them to breach :) They'll be top of the table in terms of fans though, everybody thinks so :p

 

I think whoever puts together the stats for these football games needs to be sacked.  According to Moyes they stuck with Arsenal in the first half and deservedly equalised in the 2nd. the 66% to 34% possession and the 21 shots to 3 in favour of Arsenal, is obviously wrong because surely Moyes isn't talking out of his arse !!

Did Mad Moyes say they played well and deserved something ?  I know statistics don't tell the full story but these probably do.

 

Home Team      Sunderland                  Away Team Arsenal

Possession        Home 34%                  Away 66%

Shots                Home 3                        Away 21

On Target          Home 1                        Away  7

Accurate passes Home 216                    Away 505

Corners            Home 0                        Away 8

They're fucking trash, like. Defoe's the only thing stopping them from being worse than that terrible Derby team.

They've still got 'Mackembauer' to come back from injury

 

They are putting a lot of stock in the players that are due to return from injury, that are going to turn around their season. I guess they are talking mostly about Borini (who seems to play best against us, unlucky again Sunderland :)), Kirchoff (who was great in the run in for them last season, but I remember his debut, which was one of the worst I had ever seen) and Catermole (who will given them some bite in midfield, they need to get the possession numbers sorted but he's such a limited player, relying on him as your saviour is crazy).

 

They need a big January window, need suddenly for their players to buy into what Moyes is trying to do and the manager needs to buy a hell of a lot smarter than he did in the summer, they talk about him not getting much time or money but we recruited better players in the championship, hell even Villa brought in better players than them. He had more than enough time to evaluate what was missing.
