Off Topic Non-Sunderland games

Could have done without that West Brom goal

 

Baggies and Boro still play-off faves for me, but we seem to be improving. Be fun to be involved.

 

Stating the obvious I know, but if we had has Stewart fit all season I reckon we’d be 2nd.

Only thing stopping boro is a few bad knocks.

 

An unexpected bonus imo. I was hoping for mid table mediocrity but big Tony has other ideas....

 

Blackburn equaliser

 

‘Boro are clearly a good team under Carrick… We battered them and it should’ve been more than 2.

 

Hopefully QPR kick some lumps out of them on Saturday.

 

Dortmund away is always tough but it’s another poor result for Potter and Chelsea…

 

Premier League is utter crap. Kept switching over to Sky Sports News last night and kept on being reminded how great the Premier League was with the best two teams (Arsenal, Man City) fighting toe to toe, a great advert for the Premier League etc. Every time I was reminded how great Man City were I kept on reminding myself that they are basically under the microscope (innocent till proven guilty) for cheating on an industrial scale for around the last 15 years. Why the hell should anybody care when the rest of the Premier League have possibly/probably been mugged off and potentially continue to be mugged off. Why should a clean athlete bother when a suspected drug cheat is allowed to continue to win the races? Why should the rest of the fans care when an entity who are so much bigger than the football club they own will stop at nothing to gain success. Sportsmanship, fairness and integrity have been missing from top flight football for quite a while now. Man City have pushed that boat out alot further. Its often been said that owners, managers and players should never be bigger than the football club they represent. That is not the case for PSG, Man City and Newcastle. Their owners a ****ing huge. Terrible state of affairs whilst the media continue to collect little brown envelopes and laud over these clubs and turn a blind eye to the problems that this current trend will continue to create. Such short sightedness allowing these countries access to our treasures so they can continue to have a toe hold on us when our reliance on their oil ends.

 

I rate the lad. Have always thought he’d make a good manager

 

Agree with you, but I was a tad disappointed with his comments after their loss to us.

Barcelona v Manchester United
UEFA Europa League Knockout Round Play-Off 1st Leg
17:45
BT Sport 2

 

If you want a job done properly do it yourself, also known as dont rely on others.

 

Should be a cracking game. It’s a shame the 2nd leg is next week just before their cup final mind…

 

And today's game is followed by a home tie on Sunday, similar time frame as next week, v Leicester. Let's see how they get on there.

 

What a turnaround from Manchester United and no one knows who scored but it is all about Marcus Rashford. He said "give me the ball and let me take on Raphinha", then it just needs a touch and it takes a couple on it's way in.

From 1-0 to 1-2

 

Cracking finish from the Sevilla lad there. 2-0 v PSV

 

3 nowt now. PSV have gone.

 

Look like a bit more sport washing incoming tomorrow at Man Utd.

 

Oh dear…
