Once again football has triumphed over hoof ball. Fantastic to see a referee who is prepared to stand up to the stoke thugs. Well done Martin Atkinson. Huth can have no complaints shocking challenge. As for you Stoke loving Syd you know what you can do -ban me again if you like I'll still find a way to come back and taunt those Stokies every time we show them how to play football

All the real Sunderland fans are leaving the freezing cold Brit where I've just come from and never stopped singing all game. This OP is a complete tool!
how stoke fill their stadium is a miracle considering the style of play, well done stoke fans, you are a credit to your city
Thank you. This season really has not been £399 well spent by me!! I've always defended our style, because the majority of the time it was entertaining. Especially from the FA Cup Quarter-Final to the Arsenal win last season. We were getting round the sides, getting crosses in and playing some really nice football as well. It was then that I started to think, finally Pulis is starting to evolve us. We particularly showed what we could do in September against United, when we outplayed them, played some great football and could've won 3 or 4-1, that is no exaggeration! But since then it has been pretty awful to watch in all honesty. It's the worst I've seen since the 04/05 binary season. We're creating zero chances, we're still playing players out of position and playing less and less football. We can no longer say we're playing to our strengths, because playing Crouch as a target man is not playing to his strengths and he's one of our best footballers with the ball at feet. The West Brom game just summed up Pulis. He refused to play Palacios because he thought it was too windy and played Delap instead because he thought he was a better battler!! Yes, why play someone who can pass the ball to feet when the weather suggests passing it would be better than kicking it into the wind!! Having said that, we played much more football yesterday than we have done recently, as we got Whelan on the ball more and he was allowed to spray it around. I saw a few passes from him and Wilson that if they were done by Scholes, Gerrard or Essien would've been lauded as awesome passes but because it's Stoke it's a hoof that got lucky, rather than an excellent pass.
"Football wins again" Sunderland: 2 shots on target, 43% possession VS 10 men. Certainly the next Barcelona!
It's called winning ugly - though you won't know about that in Stoke with your exemplary exponents of the beautiful game.
I'm pointing out the stupidity of this thread. He's saying "football" won, implying you completely played us off the park, when that isn't even close to the case.
My total sum o this is FO sunderland fans u under achievin piece of crap !!!! go away and leave us normals to crack on !! im told Sunderland is is the real neck end of the North East ! loks like u r now the bin end of the normal footie crack ! go away scum !!!
