Match Day Thread Sunderland AFC v Bournemouth FC - Saturday 29th November 2025 - KO 15:00

Has it been mentioned that when Enzo was setting up his pen, he looked several times blatantly at where he was going to put it, keeper went the right way but could do f**k all about it. He's been a class act in the Premier league so far.

 

Enzo has really got to grips with the physical demands of the PL. It's no secret that there were some conversations between him and Regis about this, but a good player responds, and he looks a seriously good player now.

He has things that normal players just don't have.

 

Some really interesting comments about us, same bloke did a match vlog shown on here yesterday

 

I'm mildly pissed off that we don't have more than the combined points total of Burnley, Leeds and Wolves. Wednesday might fix that though!

Excellent comeback against a very useful Bournemouth side (their fluidity up top was frightening). Don't think we played that badly at the start, but a slip and a **** up at our corner (not the first time that's happened this season) led to us being 2 down. After that, I always felt a goal was coming- and it did.
Great start to the second half and good use of the subs completed the comeback.
Atmosphere in the stadium, particularly in the second half was electric, as it has been since Coventry last season.

Two candidates for my MOTM - ELF and Traore. Both were excellent today. Moment of the match apart from the goals: When Xhaka got on the ball in stoppage time and weaved his way across the pitch, taking the sting out of the game. Pure class.

Proud as punch of our team and our fans. HTL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Aye, we played well from start to finish, we really have a excellent team taking shape.

 

As fans, we have experienced some terrible losers this season, but I honestly think this lot are the worst!!

 

It's getting the point where clubs will be sniffing around RLB.

 

Rice had a pop from the halfway line in the Arsenal game up here and Rofes nearly got caught out, bit him are the arse at the weekend, I'm sure there will have been some learnings taken from that. Great post mate.

 

They might.

But, I was talking to a Boro mate of mine while Edwards was in the process of jumping from them.

He quite naturally said that there must be another Regis out there. And he's right, there probably is.

But I said that Regis was sought for his background, and skills which we hoped would suit our overall structure. He was given a stiff job. Bring these young lads on and get us up. But he was given support when needed, and more since. Had it went against us in May, he'd still be there. No doubt about it

Regis fits. We fit him. I agree some might start looking, but unless they have what we have, they're on the wrong horse.

 

Enzo…

 

Glad there's no bias in She-ra's team compared to a neutral perspective

I've said similar about RLB and the club being the right fit for each other, I'm not so sure he would jump at tbe chance to go to a "big" club or job! Imo he is an intelligent bloke and can probably see that this job is probably made for him! He fits how we want to do things and is being well backed on the pitch and coaching staff!

He could so elsewhere and struggle cause that club don't work to his strengths and be sacked within half a season!

He has it good at SAFC and my hope and belief is he will be able to see it and know where he is better off!

 

Have you seen the state of his lip? Poor fella!

I thought it was guy pushing the bin at first.

 

Assault, that's what it was. Bellend knew what he was doing. Imagine being outclassed so you just chuck an elbow up. Prick. Same pratt was overpowered against Brobby aswell. Tin pot player at a tinpot club.

 

Tied to a long contract too, hopefully with a big buy out fee that will put potential suiters off
