Match Day Thread Sunderland AFC v Arsenal FC - Saturday 8th November 2025 - KO 17:30

He had red wine and Hobnobs in his lounge when we went on the stadium tour.

 

A strange combo but I like it,

 

I am on a Merlot

 

I finished the Merlot!

Now tucking into a nice Beaujolais for match of the day . Enjoy ..

 

Excellent post

 

Actually, I rather like the snide comments!

 

First half the noise was awesome. Best since the semi. Creating a fortress again.
Xhaka is the best captain we’ve ever had.
Ballard is immense.
Special mention to Luke who congratulated/gave encouragement to all the players coming off at half time.
Great team, great times.

 

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS TEAM!

 

Just magnificent isn't it?

Another class point.

I have had my reservations about Brian Brobbey, I feared we bought poorly as a last resort. In the past week or so it was revealed we went back in for him and he changed his mind because we are ****ing class basically. So today, he goes and scores. I'm on board now Bri.

We were silly early in the 2nd half, like we were getting beat and needed to take risks.

It cost us, the only frustrating part for me today was us giving them an avenue back in the game after they came out guns blazing.

The never say die attitude is stunning to behold, we were well worth a point.

Big Dan a clear MOTM

Would like to see Brobbey start our next home game.

 

So we are a horrible team to play against!!
Champion,get used to it,

 

Thought we deserved that. Was annoyed at 1-1 purely because it was such a daft mistake for their goal

but we kept fighting and Brobbey was great when he came on. Caused all sorts of problems and got us back in it. Absolutely buzzing for him

Isidor was great tonight too. Great to have three good options upfront now

Can’t believe we’ve just drew with the league leaders and scored two goals when they hadn’t conceded in 8.

Something really special building here and the atmosphere was incredible too

 

Reflecting on the first whilst it was a mistake they were really good at closing down. That first twenty minutes of the second half their movement and pressing was well impressive

 

**** off Walcott!

 

Amazing stuff from Ballard for his goal, the close control on his weak foot and technique on the finish. Nothing that lad can't do.

 

Shearer very complimentary

 

beat me to it. Stupid, snide little prick with a comment like that

can’t believe Alan is standing up for us!

 

To be fair for once he really did

 

We left Shearer with no other option but, for once, he took it on the chin ... fair play.

 

Missed this mate what was said?
