    It was literally men against boys, to a degree ...

    ... I doubt Xhaka or Masuaku will be running scared of anyone this season.

    That’s the beauty of football and differing opinions mate

    I don’t want Le Fee out wide but I’d like more from our current wingers

    A truly horrible day. Thankfully we’re a completely different side now

    I agree with the last bit, that's why I'd like another Winger but I reckon Talbi will be a big player for us

    Just don't want players shoehorned into the team

    I can’t see it happening mind, that’s not Le Bris at all

    Fully expecting the same side that lined up against Augsburg.

    Thats the team I'd go with, unless Alderete is fit to start

    Reckon they’d throw him straight in? I’d be a little more nervous!

    2-0 Xhaka left foot thundercunt around 25 mins followed by Mayenda getting one late on when west ham have pushed looking for an equaliser.

    Seelt is a big risk imo, would be a worry for me going into it on saturday

    obviously if the club dont think alderete is ready then he wont be. Be interesting what rlb says in his presser

    A blind man can see Le Fee is not suited out wide

    After 8 years here we go. Going for a 2 - 1 win to the lads. They will score first as we never do things the easy way.....goal scorers......well after the end of last season it has to be Ballard and Mayenda.......HTL!!!!!

    Yes, I think now in the Premier League it's on NBC Peacock sports.....excited to see how all the new lads gel. Can't fault the club for not going for it this season. Won't be easy but...."faint hearts win f*ck all" right? :)

    Good man, keep us posted how things look from over there.

    You might find a few more Sunderland fans appearing and it'll be interesting to see what coverage we get.

    Great to see you on here mate, remember you can get amphetamines on the internet these days <laugh>
