Well I blew £300 betting on the match. Couldn't give two monkeys that's the chance you take when gambling. What I could give two monkeys about is MY team being so heartless and idealess, against ten men for an hour for ****s sake.. If anyone wants to try and defend Larsson and Vaughan after that abysmal display, I would be very interested to hear your reasoning. They both look as if they are running in treacle and need 10 minutes to make up their minds before passing. (Then to compound their ineptitude misplaced the pass.) When any attack broke down Norwich were strolling past Vaughan and Larsson as if they weren't there. Leading to them fouling and giving Norwich the chance to lob the ball into our box. I am 56 years old with a bad back and I will lay you odds I could still run faster than those two. Why the **** was Larsson putting that final ball in? His delivery has been **** for months! MON has to replace them as soon as possible. The decisions? Both definite handballs, both were hands moving to the ball. Norwich should have had a penalty for the Rose handball. Holt should have seen red for the two footed tackle on Mig, could have been so much worse. Clear push on Fletcher in the area that wasn't given. Did we deserve to win? Never in a million years! Norwich's goal, what the **** were the defenders doing? These are supposed to be professional footballers they looked like a Sunday league side, four ****ing defenders going to one player! WE had three players that looked as if they knew how to play football. Rose, Gardner and Sess. Now I like Rose but he too was taking too many chances and leaving us vulnerable when he lost it. When Sess was picking up the ball in MF it was as if our whole team stood still, every one of them just froze which left no one available for a pass! There's just no passing and movement, which should have been a doddle against 10 men. Gardner looked as if he was the only person on the pitch capable of controlling with one touch and passing the ball with his second. I have never seen so many players in one team that need two or three touches to get the ball under control. Fletcher and Graham making exactly the same runs, Fletcher was as bad as Graham with this mind. Yes it's early days as a partnership but bloody hell they should be able to make separate runs. Their third choice keeper and we hardly made him exert himself! We controlled the game start of the second half had loads of possession yet never worried Norwich. Then Norwich started pressing the ball and every body panicked and gave away the ball on a regular basis. This wasn't a case of ten men playing out of their skins, it was a case of our side lacking in ideas.If they had still had eleven men I would have feared the worst. Well the rants over. Private message for Fletcher. For ****s sake son do something with your hair you look like a pitman from the 30s with a bad haircut.
I have lost so much money on Sunderland that I would always bet they would get beat. We win the game it softens the money loss. We get beat and the money does the reverse.. When we draw, just be thankfull we got a frigging point and take it on the chin.
We don't have any leaders or characters on the pitch, something you need in a relegation battle. Gardner was our best player today & should be in centre mid with bards in at rb, at least he rallys the team & Larsson offers us nothing, a league 2 player could do the job he does. Without his set pieces he brings nothing. We need catts & bards in the team for the rest of the season just for the commanding presence. When is catts back if at all?
trouble is mate, been saying all along where do the posters on here get the notion that he is a good , no great manager, this possisition we are in is his doing and his doing only, reguardless whos players are wnos ,he cannot do the basic tasks asked . As soon as they went down to ten it should have been changed, put pressure on ten men not carry on with side foot charlies in midfield, like you i am angry , but i have been angry for a long time with this dummy cluck,. trying to work out how many pints £300 is
Even his set pieces are ****. He has done nothing of note since being moved inside. Not one Sunderland supporter can disagree yet MON keeps playing him in that position. can only blame one person for that and it's not the player no matter how ****e he is.
I'm in no way defending MON he picks the team and on a personal note I thought he would be able to gee up these water carriers more than he has. His whole game for Forest under Clough was hard graft and playing football. Some of our players just don't look capable of either. He is still hampered by the squad we have as a whole. I'm sure even he can see our MF is ****, I can't understand why he didn't take one or both of them off. Colback would have done a better job in there, at least he can run.
I've always maintained the stance of never betting on your own team. Considering the performance, slow, toothless and completely devoid of ideas. We are in trouble if we continue to play like that for the rest of the season.
Well you are supposed to be moderate. Just this once go on let rip! We will all turn on our swear filters.
If it's any consolation MR? i've spent almost £3,000 on 2 season tickets this season and to watch that shower of hapless, clueless, gutless ****e? makes my piss boil mate. MON has to shoulder a big part of the blame here as well, his tactics are utter ****e and if Norwich could have kept to 11 men then we'd have been beaten.
Believe me mate I can let rip when I need to just don't see the point after that ****e. ****ing soaked a well never mind day off tomorrow.
I feel for you mate. My son has just got back and I asked him why he hadn't gone straight out like he planned. One of the rare times he has sworn in front of me. "After watching that shower of ****e, me and the lads are going clubbing to drown our sorrows" Hahaha He is up stairs getting showered, I probably wont see him again till Monday night to get ready for work Tuesday. MON is going to have to sort this soon or we are going to lose the younger generation of supporters.
To be honest MR I think we've lost a large portion of them now, got a 13 year old nephew season ticket for the last 5 years who has decided he can't watch that again. Glad I don't get to enough games warrant a season ticket /card
Coincidence eh? The boy called it ****e too and he has one off tomorrow as well. His wet clothes have just been chucked down the stairs. I don't have the heart to tell him to pick them up, I'll stick em in the wash after the skunks game. Coming up to 19 and he has already had over 10 years of these false dawns.
Feel for the lad mate as you know he's hooked now so only another 30 years of the crap to catch us up.
His mate has just picked him up. AFter he borrowed £40 off me for a drink!!!!! Bloody hell I'm getting old, I can remember getting an eighth of that as a wage!
