Whatever happens I never want to see a Sunderland player fatter than me on the doors ... ... Graham would've been known as Fat Dan by the lads and there was 18 of us
To be fair, I think some people are equating pragmatism with long ball football. When I used it in relation to the brothers who we won't mention, I understood it to mean that they played to the strengths of the players that were available. Which doesn't necessarily mean atrocious football. Although maybe in the case of our lot it does.
I think he went to Charlton , may be wrong. I'm pretty sure I was at the game, he sure played a blinder. Hooper had a knackered ankle , rumour was that Brown got pissed off with him.
Don't get me wrong mate, I love pragmatism, so does Allardyce. His first thoughts are 'what are these lot good at, who can I trust, who'll take that extra chance, etc.' His second thoughts are, 'I don't want these people trying to play football in our own half'. That suits me and anything after that is a bonus.
I haven’t checked rtg for days cos I just know it will just be a downer. at least on here even if the initial reaction is whattttt there’s always a bit of thinking and research and the mood changes
Exactly. That's we need right now, someone who can come in, look at what we've got, and get a tune out of them. What direction he takes them in the future can be developed in the longer term.
They came, they saw and were conkered ... ... this place will always settle down despite any smart arse troublemakers. RTG will just go further and further down as the balance changes and the lunatics end up running the asylum. The Mods, over there, are as weak as piss tbh.
No,nor did I. I loved him going past the full back into the Fulwell wing corner and crossing it in. He was magic. Also...he took the corners from that side,often aiming for the head of King Charles! Many's the time the ball was met by him hurtling in and ending up in the Fulwell net. Cue massive euphoria,crowd swaying,noise beyond noise...great days!! It's those memories that keeps us in the faith,and we're so lucky to have them.
I honestly believe people will accept the ethos on here and realise everyone's entitled to an opinion ... ... if they act up they'll get a life ban and end up back on RTG claiming they were only banned for holding contrary opinions.
