    Just seen the highlights. I'd have been livid with my team of Year 5 and 6s with that type of defending. Two great goals from Harry though. Should make a fine player.

    Went to the game yesterday at the last second due to a mate being unable to go.

    You know, I think it was worth it.

    I couldn't follow the game live yesterday as it was my daughters 10th birthday part so was just checking my phone watching the goals.

    I have to say I am massively impressed with what big Nige has achieved with these players. I can't imagine many of the City teams I've watched over the years fighting back from 4-2 away to get anything from a game.

    It's all the more amazing with what feels, to me, like a cobbled together and unbalanced squad of players. His tinkering seems to make the squad gel more and more rather then messing with the cohesion.

    And it'll be even harder for the poor bugger next season.

    I don't understand why Harry Wilson has played so few professional games at the age of 21

    Injured a lot apparently.
    Maybe took time to fill out and strengthen.

    Yes our defending was awful too but hey what fun it was, thought we had the win at 4-2 a win we needed to give us a play off chance...however the tigers fought back in great style, first time I have seen the robins draw 5-5 & Ive been going to ashton gate for 60 years.

    turns out we've never had a 5-5 or scored 5 in consecutive aways.

    I couldn't hear the commentary unfortunately but my mate from Goole told me the score by using sign language.

    Held up both hands and showed me all his fingers.

    6 - 6 eh? Some game that.

    The dinner was to celebrate the investments into the medical facilities that Assem and his wife have made. Lots of doctors, nurses, etc there.

    Assem was too ill to attend.

    Ehab was there at the stadium earlier on before the dinner but opted to not bother going.

    He's wrote off 100 million!!! Who would buy them with those figures??!!

    How bad is Sunderland’s financial situation?
    Very bad. Having been relegated from the top flight in 2017, Sunderland have the advantage of a £35m Premier League parachute payment next season but the latest financial figures, released a year ago, revealed £69m was owed to Short and £68m to Security Bank Capital, with the latter arrangement costing £8m a year in interest payments. The austerity measures implemented by Martin Bain, the chief executive, have reduced those arrears appreciably and Short is prepared to walk away in exchange for a buyer repaying a significant portion of his personal loan in addition to shouldering the wider debt but the finances remain forbidding. Progress on potential takeovers has foundered at the preliminary due diligence stage.

    Why is Short playing truant?

    Only he really knows but it appears Sunderland are a toy with which he has become bored. Perhaps this star of the private equity world is simply ashamed of the series of calamitous decisions made on his watch. Appointing several inexperienced executives to boardroom positions – most notably the former chief executive Margaret Byrne and the former director of football Roberto De Fanti – helped explain a disastrous recruitment policy that resulted in more than 80 non-loan signings made during the owner’s decade at the helm but only six players sold for a profit. In mitigation Short has invested the best part of £200m of his fortune in keeping the club afloat, writing off more than £100m.

    I liked the bit about putting Daws in a retirement home and sending McDonald back to his farm.
