The way we are playing now should be enough to convince any of you to buy that ticket for the semi at Old Trafford. No clubs fear us at Old Trafford under Moyes and until he puts that right your task of reaching the final may not be as hard as you'd imagine. A Sunderland vs City final is a coin toss for the trophy given your record against them, I know who I'll be supporting.
Any team that is currently going through a bad patch relish coming to Sunderland, we are always the team for them to beat!
Villa was our first defeat in five games wasn't it! You would think we were on our worst run of the season by some of the negativity going around..
I see everybody has kept quiet over Howard Webb NOT giving Man Utd two stonewall pens? I've never believed the referee conspiracy theories, I just don't think referees sit rubbing their hands when they are refereeing our match, so they can **** us up, or award Man Utd everything. Man Utd probs get more free kicks and penalties than anybody else because they do more atacking than most and have more skillful players which will draw more fouls.
I just believe referees to be human & **** things up from time to time. There's a lot riding on matches now so the pressure is there and I do believe that a lot of decisions are taken wrongly in the theatrical way football in the Premiership has become..
It is a rarity for Man U to get bad decisions against them, although the second of the two was a penalty. For the record, an ex ref came on Talksport a couple of years back and admitted that he gave the top teams such as Man U the benefit of any doubt, simply because it would be detrimental to his career if he gave a wrong big decision against them. He stated that most referees thought the same..
Makes it all wrong though Reg when you see the money riding on success and failure. There are a few refs to me that seem to have tickets on themselves and a look at me attitude. Until that is addressed then we will always be falling out over decisions they make. You can see why now I do a lot of O/T threads ha ha, I have very strong opinions about my team and a lot of the time it's best I keep my mouth shut about football..
players out injured ,fabio sent off, a tireing game against swansea and also a defeat cum on you cats
As I was just saying ........ Man Utd 1 - 2 Swansea and another one sent off. ........ bollocks to people who reckon we have no chance.
