    Sad when Sunderland can't lace teams like Hull and Ipswichs boots, really.

    Eustace may yet take Blackburn down ...

    ... which shows how tricky these decisions can be.

    Mate we were in the third division for years. This is our second season outside of it and both have been comfortable. I would’ve snapped your hand off for that 5 years ago. As would any Sunderland fan.

    As has been said, form is temporary. If Ipswich fail to go up automatically, I’d love it to fall apart as they could end up in hot water. Whereas we’ve done things financially right. It’s not what fans want in real terms, but it’s what the club needs. I reckon, with a fully fit squad this season, we’d have pushed much better and been a lot closer to teams like these

    I think the next couple of years is going to see a change in the way clubs operate and a lot will get penalties/points deductions due to FFP. It might just be that KLD keeping his powder dry is the best thing that could have happened to us

    Var canceling another good goal after a several minute delay. Get it in the bin

    Change in the rule required. Should be clear daylight between defender and attacker for me. Offside by an arse cheek or toenail is spoiling a good game again

    Ben Davies showing Saka onto his left foot inside the box is just suicidal. Shocking defending.

    This is a pasting. Arsenal are so good from set pieces.

    Completely agree. A toenail offside isn't an advantage. The FA/PL/UEFA need to look at these laws again
