    My one and only prediction this season is that we would beat Plymouth away.
    That went well.
    We’ll obviously lose 1-0 today. Isidor og. Le Fee sent off.

    I suspect the answer might be to let Reg pick the team then we all watch <laugh>

    Only joking mate although I don’t see it as a problem, we're lucky to have so many good players and things will just get worse.

    I do like your idea tbh, I doubt the manager would though …

    … he has ways of thinking that seem unshakeable.l

    I think for me to have a real push at top 2 we need to improve slightly and that’s done by replacing those who haven’t maybe had as much of an impact as others. We all know Rigg will have an incredible career but at the minute he’s not at the level of Jobe or Neil so he’s the likely candidate to be dropped to make room for ELF when we have a natural winger back. I know I’ve mentioned it before but promotion comes first, player development second for me. Nothing is a given in football but you work off probabilities and the probability is that a better player will contribute more.

    I remember at the start of the season people were saying how are we going to sign a 20 goal striker people need to reel in their expectations etc etc and now we’re linked with someone who scored about 30 and fans are turning their nose up at him :emoticon-0102-bigsm

    Mike Dean on Sky saying Isidor offside was the right decision but it took too long.

    Honestly the bloke has the easiest paid job in the world. Think I've only ever seen him say the ref was wrong twice. Almost always agrees with the decision.

    In fairness it was close in all the angles we saw and we didn’t have the definitive one

    It was on Sky mate, we had all the angles we needed.

    It wasn’t offside, if it was so obvious he’d have flagged.

    He was lying the Jasper carrot faced twat. Said they use the equivalent of VAR, the twatful twat made it look even more suspicious. The linesman at no point gave offside, he doesn’t need to wait in this scenario as he was already bearing down on goal. The cheating twats.

    Then WHO gave the decision to call that. The linesman was running back to the half way line and the ref had turned away as if allowing the goal. Utter b*llocks we were cheated and it would be nice to find out the truth why it was cancelled.

    And why does the linesman not have to raise his flag? I’ll tell you why because the cheating twats got it wrong and in no way should they be using the equivalent of VAR, they ****ed up but as usual can’t accept responsibility.
    ****in cheating bastards. I was over it till that twat came out with his cover up the lying cheating scumbag twat.

    What the **** is the equivalent to VAR and since when has the efl been using the equivalent to VAR!

    It's a joke of a decision and it's needs explaining.

    I'd love to see how Isidor was offside anyway, I'm yet to see any footage that doesn't show him to be well on when the ball is played?

    Lads my mate who I go with is away on his hols. I am going in sober. The cuddlies better do the business.

    PS, normal service will be resumed after the match whereupon I will be drinking until I do an impression of a Border Collie and crawl home.

    Cane off the Metro with a load of Plymouth so asked them where they were drinking. They said the Wheatsheaf because it’s an allocated away pub.

    I told them every pub in Sunderland is.
