I agree, but, if we're going to have a successful season you need to build momentum and make winning habitual not losing.
Watching the Burnley game we made them look poor, we stopped them getting a foothold in the game, no one can say we've been lucky. In fact yesterday the ref should had booked 3 or 4 of their players and we get a card for a seemingly innocuous challenge.
Was persuaded to go to the pub after the game and had a few.
On leaving the pub a pre-ordered taxi pulled up and two Sunderland lads jumped in bound for the town centre. I asked if they'd drop us at Fratton Station which they happily did. First stroke of luck. But it was touch and go for the flight, Simon Moore sat down and introduced himself, on seeing my badge, then I got off the train into London on a Saturday night
I was totally lost but a lovely French lady was also going to Stansted, spotted my plight and threw me on and off various tubes. Second stroke of luck. I eventually arrived at Stansted 30 minutes before take off and there was a fault with the security conveyor belt.
At 22.00 I managed to get through security, for the 22.15 flight thinking I'd blown it. But as I ran past the perfumes and duty frees the departure board, for Edinburgh, said 'relax, flight delayed 30 minutes'. Third stroke of luck
So now I had time to grab my first hot meal of the day and an ice cold Leffe. As I went to pay I swear I heard the barman say, 'That's OK sir, a Mr Chris Rigg has taken care of that, the taxi and the French concierge.'
That may be totally untrue, I just choose to believe it all happened
See highlighted area. Just out of curiosity how much persuasion did you need?
In three years when he lifts the Champions League Trophy after we beat Real Madrid he will stay for a long time
Decent enough first half but magnificent second half. What a group of young players we’ve got, and I had no idea wingers were built like Wilson.
What a season this team is gonna have, top 2 for me.

Now you know how it feels .I’ll quote the right person this time
That is bollocks

Couldn't really find much to complain about in first half but it was obvious they weren't quite at the tempo and level of past two game.
I had a feeling Regis would have a word and they would come out a bit better. They came out about 3 gears higher and Pompey couldn't cope!
Hopefully he ends up being too good for them. Would be sickening to see him tearing it up in black and white
I've put this on fb... with the words. "No team photo, just the lads loving it". It triggered a couple of my mag mates.

Class photo but struggling to comprehend the other bit. "mag mates". Mates. Nar not having that
Nicked from X.
Update. Luke O’Nien was so bored of not defending this season that he’s decided to stick one in his own net. Just giving the rest of the league a chance.
A man of the people

I heard he was pissed off about not scoring in the last 2 games, so he decided to get some practice in for the Plymouth game
Feel he has that in him in abundance. Still very early but I noticed a few times in games we werent pushing to secure a result, we were pushing to improve the scoreline! 3 up on 86 yesterday, free kick in the corner and we tried to score a 4th. Awesome imo
Just watched the extended highlights. Chris Rigg plays a part in all three goals. He actually plays a huge part in the second goal at launching the counter attack.
Countering at pace seems to be Le Bris’ thing and I love it.

On rewatching the Mundle goal a few times, it's absolutely fantastic. The challenge by Rigg, the close control dribbling of Mayenda (the ball is never more than 6 inches from his feet), the layoff is perfect as Mundle doesn't have to break stride and the finish is top drawer.
The scenes in the away end are tremendous as well.

yeh Mayenda was utterly perfect for that goal. The way he took it off Rigg as he was the one running at pace, then the run itself, the check back, the layoff.
If we had signed a new striker and he’d done that we’d be going mental.
its exciting stuff. As if he keeps getting confidence we have a real player there.
Mundles about 20 yards behind rigg and mayenda when they pick the ball up too, our speed on the break is something I’ve never seen in a Sunderland side before, lightening
Just shows how fine the line is between potential and actually being a success.
