These and Palace going down is just beautiful.

 

I would happily take second place if it meant Chris Hughton smacking Pardew upside the head with the championship trophy as he slopes off to the job centre.

 

I genuinely don't get the hype about Pickford. Admittedly I've only seen him in a full match once when they were being dry-bummed by Arsenal, but he was mediocre at best and a rabbit-in-the-headlights flustered mess at worst. The fact the mackems are bandying around a price second only to Buffon is the true definition of delusion.

 

Moyes is looking increasingly like a man who has been sold a pup. Publicly declaring a relegation battle 2 (TWO!) games into the season, and loudly mithering his lack of funds a month early, these are not the signs of a confident set up.

 

I wonder if he could have done better for their goal last night - decent strike but by no means unstoppable from that position? 

Also spilled/parried a couple of their efforts back into the danger area that a half decent keeper would have held on to.

Seems to do occasional Hollywood stuff which catches the eye but lacks in the basics.

Only seen one replay of it from behind the goal but didn't the shot pretty much start just outside the post and bend inside it? Pretty tough to stop.

Not saying it was soft or anything, just maybe a better keeper would have got to it.

So perhaps he's not quite in the 25M category :-)

Just read the BBC match report that describes the mackems as having a seven-man defence :lol:

 

Sounds like a Pardew type tactic, everyone behind the ball for 85 minutes and try stay in it and nick a goal at the end. Works about once every 50 attempts.

 

It seems to be the only way they set up at present. Much like when San Marino or Gibraltar occasionally keep the score down when they play a big nation. But fitness and organisation can only take you so far.

Converting that gallant 1-0 defeat into a win requires a huge step up and credit to the other lesser clubs in the league, Bournemouth, Burnley, Swansea, Watford and even Hull who at least look like they're trying to have a go.

Nice to see the terminally ill lad smiling today and enjoying himself before their game. Hopefully he keeps smiling right to the end and it's the best 2 months possible.

 

Hopefully his team are relegated though at the end of the season it's long overdue in fairness.

 

Hope they win every game for him, if it makes him fight for longer.

Never higher than fourth bottom, only 39 days out of bottom three. Sunderland really have pared survival back to the minimum.

 

 

 

Is it still only a couple of teams that have survived after being bottom at xmas?

 

Just them, West Brom and the reigning champions.

Reading some threads on their board, sounds like they are expecting 50 million by selling Pickford and Kone, WTF ! Hasn't Kone been extremely dodgy for them this season ? He's not a young buck either, 10 million tops even in today's whacked out market and I doubt they have too many takers. Pickford is a GK with half a season first team experience for them, done OK but yet to be proven, paying in excess of 10 million is a huge gamble for any club.

Them seats look a million miles better like, will look good if they refresh the full lot.

They are supposed to be doing the whole ground, but in stages. I believe they have also refurbished other areas of the ground as well. Fair play to them for it, ours also needs a bit of TLC, all we have got is a new finish to the concourses in areas.

Cant afford the rest?

 

 

waiting for the white FTM to get delivered with them,

:lol:

Genuinely wouldn't put it past them

 

There'd only be one result if they polled their fans about it  :lol:  (paying ones that is, not the free ticket mackems)
