Match Day Thread Sunderland AFC v Saudi State FC - FA Cup 3rd Round – Saturday 6th January 2024 - KO 12:45

Why it will do our squad more good than theirs?
Don't see how it does anything for them than take some pressure off Howe for a bit.

 

Felt the same after the game, it was disappointing seeing us get beat as it always is (especially when you concede a few) but little to none of that was because it was a 'local derby'.

I wouldn't go as far as to wish the bastards well and never will but they are pretty much entirely dead to me now.

 

He doesn’t post on this part of the forum for obvious reasons. He mainly sticks to the Leeds and premier league boards.

 

Just wait until @Schlem Boogerman is pissed. You’ll all know about it then

 

Because it will show our younger players the level they need to get to in order to compete at the highest level of the game in this Country against players who have been playing in Europe's most elite club tournament this season.

 

I started getting texts from extended family who are mags after it went 0-2. Gave em what for and called them out on the family group text about being owned by murderers. (Yeah dead hard me like )

Told me everything I needed to know about them and our team today.

1. they knew we were capable of getting back into it, and were spineless and said nowt until they felt safe. Just like their quiet fans in the north stand.
2. Family members shut up quickly when their ownership was brought up. Had no response when I said my conscience was clear, what about yours?

Got home to any angry Mrs who told me I’d upset half the family (her side) My response **** em, don’t start it, if you can’t take it back.

FTM, murderers!!

 

Btw who would have thought O'Nien was one of the few players for us who looked at home against a good premier league team.

 

I could smell the dirty bastards down here from 180 miles away.

 

No shame in losing to Saudi United. O.G a balls-up and a penalty against a £500m team.
Young lads will learn from it and thought our fans showed great backing for them.

 

very poor, didn't really start till the scored

no mate we just played a better team, when you get beat sometimes you've just got to put your hand up and say the better team won

 

Cheers mate, why is he on the Leeds board?

 

Fair?

 

Go to bed Bob. You're pissed

 

Probably

 

Thought I had bumped into you today Nig. I had a long chat with a bloke who travels to the games from mid-Wales, he's been to 8 home games this season and numerous away. Incredible supporter when you think about the distance he covers

 

I’m glad you aren’t the manager because we’d be destined for absolute sh*te season after season. Don’t worry lads don’t bother putting a foot in, don’t close anyone down, take 10 minutes on the ball. At least you ran out on the pitch.

 

Hes so boring, always quick to slag our players. Neil up against one of the best midfields in the country n he comes on and slags the lad - neil wasnt at his best today but feel he has to carry the side so often as ekwah n jobe are so inconsistent. Hopefully get a good cdm in jan.

The occasion was just too big for our lads today. They are a quality side when they are on it, they play at such a high tempo n havr so much physicality. It was always going to be hard if they were close to their best. The facts are theyve spent over 400 million on that team

Always crap losing to that lot but the boys will hopefully be better for playing in such s big game

Now the focus is solely on the league, need to kick on 2nd half of the season

 

Only disagreement there is Dan Neil. I thought he was our MOTM today, albeit in difficult circumstances

 

Grow up man

 

I thought it was good tbh. Is he suggesting it was 17k just for the East stand? It wasn't just that, it was something in all of the seats apart from the mag end. All of the PC and corporate had something to hold up.
