    They are ****, anybody with half a football brain can see 90% of this league is utter garbage. Doesn't stop it being a tough league and it doesn't stop us being ****ter than most of the league. So do you have an actual point?

    Well obviously it's a spectrum with Bristol City being one of the stronger teams. League one teams have scalped prem sides in the cup, it really isn't a measure of a team. Bristol City should have embarrassed us, they won by the odd goal and looked bang average as have most sides I've seen us play.

    Well last season isn't this season is it? Couldn't comment on last season other than the mag games I saw(Which were all a poor standard). This season the standard is pap. It's scrappy, it's route one, 90% of the long balls are over the top. Proper Sunday league ****. It's ****ing dreadful.

    Watched the second half of Villa match last night and both teams were shocking.

    Both doing well. The league is a **** standard and we are near the bottom.

    It’s not good.

    #safc fans you'll be pleased to know that as your players didn't come to you at the end, we gave them some right hammer on your behalf as they went down the tunnel. Stealing a living. Don't deserve your support #sufc#utb

    When you think of all the big games that Charlton played in that's some compliment to our fans.
    My parents wouldn't let me go to the replay at Roker because they knew what sort of crowd numbers would turn out, but they were amazed at just how many did.
    My family doctor's daughter went, she was in her twenties and she collapsed and died outside the main entrance in all the squash. Her dad was never the same after that night, tragic.
    I know that times have changed, health and safety and all that, but I can't see anyone saying such glowing things about our supporters of today, a different breed it seems to me.
    Although in fairness our away support stands up against any in the land IMO.

    Well clearly they do, yet they were allowed to leave the pitch without doing it. I mean, don't the managers usually join them? PDC, Gus and Big Sam did every single away game. Can't recall if others did or not.

    Could Moyesy save us in an unexpected plot twist. West Ham being linked with Kone and Ndong in the press.

    Be incredible if we could get £10m for them and Coleman was given the money to reinvest.

    Steven Caulker has left QPR by mutual consent today. Has had problems off the pitch apparently but surely worth a look at.

    I've not seen as much of your games this season, but I genuinely think that there's a Premiership player in N'Dong. Less convinced by Kone with each passing month - it seems like a guy who had a purple patch that people are basing his ability on.

    On their day they are both good premier league players but they aren't consistent enough for us and if bids come in we'd be mad not to sell if IF the money cam be reinvested

    Kone is capable no question, he has a suspect temperament, but focused, he could be a real asset for any mid table Premiership side in need of a centre back

    At least a dozen people around me were bleeding, mostly from where they had climbed over the barb wire topped fence , most estimates from the Sunderland Echo said there were more people turned away than in the ground, it was said there were up to 200 thousand people wanted to see the game , with traffic jams back to Gateshead from the North

    My uncle watched the first half with only one shoe after the other one was lost during a gate collapse due to the crush. At half time a great pile of lost shoes were to be found, and at first people were trying to find the shoe that had been lost, but it soon became a case of grabbing any that would fit. He, like many others, ended up travelling home with odd shoes. The upside was that he got in without paying, as did many more, so the exact size of the crowd will never be known.
