    Dan's goal should be on porn hub. 3 different goals from 3 different players and no 3 goals the same.

    Centre half with a "I'm getting on the end of this" header

    Midfielder taking it from the halfway line and finishing with a 25 yarder.

    Clever passing and moving followed by a infront of goal "tap in".

    Glad it wasn't just me having problems then. Think I need to invest in a VPN!

    Fwiw I’ve been critical of Reggie’s lack of subs but today was the perfect example that you don’t need to change personnel to change things up. Played completely differently second half.

    People saying he must have bollocked them at half time. I’m pretty confident he didn’t. He will have just quietly and calmly talked them through some tweaks.

    Someones not happy.....

    Swansea head coach Luke Williams:

    "Miles off the level. Miles off the top six level. We're not even close. That's very obvious after watching that.

    "Thinking about it [the top six] is one thing. But playing against the top six and getting destroyed makes you realise that we're nowhere near it.

    "It's not even about how we can play against the top six. It's the mentality. We go two in front and then can't wait to concede because it's too much pressure. That's one of the things that happens when you compete in the top six.

    "One of the things that happens is you accumulate pressure. If you don't like being there, it's not the right place for you, you try and find a way to get out of that uncomfortable situation and we did a brilliant job of that today."

    Luke Williams said twice “that’s what a top championship side looks like”. Talking about us. Love it.

    He summed that up perfectly there, fair play to him for his brutal honesty

    Sunderland head coach Regis Le Bris:

    "It was a long week so I am happy to win. We started slowly with two goals conceded on set-plays but I thought during the first half that it was possible to be back in the game because we had good qualities on the pitch.
    "It was clear in my mind that we just needed to fix one or two problems, especially how they escaped our press with long balls down our left.
    "When we fixed that problem, I think we dominated the second half. We were probably a bit more aggressive with our finishing - we created chances and we scored.
    "It's good a win – it's good for character, good for confidence and good for the spirit of the team."

    Football is such a strange game when you look at it.

    'Sunderland draw too many to go up' - Burnley have drawn more

    'Sunderland players look tired after an hour' - yet scored four of the last six after an hour

    'Sunderland don't need Luke O'Nien' - <whistle>

    I reckon he'll be as good as his brother. The lads an absolute monster of a player. Troy Deeney done a good interview about him a few years ago at Birmingham and said hes a few years behind his brother in development, not just age but when he matures he'll be an absolute beast.

    Two things struck me in that interview.

    First when he said that young players need to play through adversity to grow and learn ...

    ... second, the players know exactly how many we're taking to Blackburn on Boxing Day :emoticon-0103-cool:
