Sorry lads been masturbating since last night. What a fkn win. Take a bow Doddsy and the lads that was superb . Before the game I saw a few "wtf is that team" not from this site I hasten to add, but well done Sir you had the balls to mix it up and did us proud. I was expecting more from them but I suspect we were just better in every department. Absolutely ecstatic.
I highly recommend the 10 mins highlights. It’s commentated on by the main match of the day commentator and makes it feel like we are are in the PL again
Well most of the fans understood - I had people in front of me and behind me screaming all the time for us to push forward and press them when their defenders had the ball - unbelievable Jeff
Sore losers Leeds aren't they "A shirt pull is a shirt pull – there’s no denying it. So when Clarke pulled back Summerville by his shirt, it should have been pulled up for a foul and then the appropriate punishment should have been dished out. That’s now two games in a row where Sunderland have avoided a player being sent off after Dan Ballard crippled West Brom forward Josh Maja with a two-footed challenge from behind. They’ll just keep injuring players and getting away with breaking the rules of the game if referees do not act and start sending their players off."
Aye. But, in fairness, we have been pushing up a lot this season. I thought we picked our times really well last night, which helped to look after their front lads who are really handy.
On the shirt pull, they pulled Clarke’s shirt every time he ran forward! Could even have been booked numerous times. Number 4 could’ve been sent off for a second yellow. But I guess he missed those events! Prick. The bold bit is a disgraceful thing to say. Utterly ridiculous
So, after tonight Sunderland are still in 6th place ... ... and could be 5th on Saturday night. Cardiff lost at home, Southampton could only draw at Coventry and Boro lost at home.
No one tell me the score! I'm just up to 44 mins on the clock and its 0-0! You wouldn't believe the chances we've had to score as well!!!!
You are right, we normally do but after the first 5-10 minutes the majority could see that we had a plan to nullify their forward play, letting the 2 centre halves have as much of the ball as we wanted. However, as I say, a few around me couldn't get their heads around it and kept telling Pritchard etc to close them or the goalie down.
Just watched them. That is Sky's unbiased highlights of the game, and i would say about 80% of the highlights were Sunderland attacking. Farke must have been watching a different game.
Bit like the lad behind me who continues to moan as loud as possible about everyone bar Pritchard and Ballard. He has now added a new shout of "switch it, for ****s sake" every time one of our full backs gets the ball. Doesn't matter how or where they receive the ball he expects them to be able to constantly ping cross field passes to the opposite wing. However my personal favourites is "that's ****e that, ****ing useless" for every miss placed pass or tackle lost (apart from Pritchard and Ballard) Jobe, Neil and 09 are especially picked out by him for extra loud versions of this
Yes,it was the same around me,but I think it's because we've played our best football when we're pressing and moving the ball quickly,so perhaps,can be forgiven. Got to admit,when Luke puts his foot on the ball,slowing it down and looking around,I do get jittery,and seeing their goalie with the ball at his feet well into the middle of his own half,does bring back horrible memories of a parking the bus strategy in years gone by.
