Good for the region. 6 easy points. 

[CallumG6]

Can’t keep calling it luck, eventually have to accept they look good this season.

 

Credit where its due.

[frankpingel]

Aye, have to admit (through gritted teeth) they're half decent. 

[Wallsendmag]

Don't know when they are beaten. Wish our lot had half the balls they've got. When we go even a goal down it's pretty much game over.

True, but it’s also much easier when you only have one competition.

I’m off the Iraola bandwagon, this man is a fraud

People still want to burrow their heads in the sand that Sunderland are not actually rivals for Europe this season?  

 

Their home form will push them on if everyone else falters. May fall away come April, but they’re genuine threat right now.

Were not  challenging for Europe this season so they'd be right

Don't see how that's got much to do with it. Wolves have only got 1 competition and they are bottom.

[ramirez]

Still can’t see them getting into Europe like.

There's no pressure on them now, I hadn't even thought of them as a European rival, but if they start thinking they are then that will certainly ramp up the pressure. Look at what happened to Forest last season once they started thinking they were going to be in the CL.

No but we have three/four, and you compared them to us.

Referee is a proper balloon like

We haven't played a single game in the 4th one yet though and we've only played 2 LC games and we were able to rotate v Bradford. 

 

I was comparing their mentality compared to ours anyway but I think that has gone straight over your head.

[et tu brute]

Stupid challenge for the penalty, another keeper error, brainless touch to stop a goal and shocking marking on the corner. Bournemouth want their arses kicked for losing that game. 

[Wandy]

Forget relegation, their season is giving off Pardew 2011/12 vibes.

[Wolfcastle]

We'll be doing well to finish above them. But that's exactly the sort of thing some people missed and wanted back.

[Holloway]

The careful what you wish for comments I find rather lame

Mental fatigue will come in to it. As well as physical. As well as not being able to train regularly, our fixture list has been non stop, compared to theirs.

Great spirit from Sunderland but that was an epic collapse from Bournemouth 

[Keegans Export]

Anyone who wanted then back up because they "missed the derby" - I hope you stand on nothing but Lego and upturned plugs

I hope the cunts go out of business. Brazil 1970 every time we play the fuckers but if you ever want them to win otherwise you can't rely on them for toffee.

[NUFCDoog]

Rock bottom.

[NE27]

Just seen their pen, I feel like that was incredibly harsh to be given tbh.

 

But nowt surprises me in PL nowadays.

[toon25]

They've got a load of cobbled together regens from Europe most folk have never heard of.

 

They're a surprise package so far, but it's a long season.

 

They'll be worked out and teams with more experience will figure out how to play against them.
