    Hoping for a draw. We just need keep in touch until our wingers come back and we have a good chance of getting top 2 but that requires nobody taking the opportunity.

    Burnley might be the worst good team to watch. Parkerball heritage that

    Sky doing their best to excuse the boredom ...

    ... 'Both of these teams feeling each other out and showing the maximum respect' <doh>

    This is one of the most boring games I have witnessed

    45 minutes I will never get back.

    Think Leeds shaded it because of how they started the game but after that it was just a battle in the middle of the park.

    This often happens in games between the top teams in leagues.

    Probably rather Leeds won as think they will go on and win the league so it would leave us fighting with Burnley and Sheff Utd for 2nd spot both of which I think we are better than.

    As long as Burnley don't win we'll be fine I reckon. A draw would probably be best all round though. Keep everyone in it for the top 2

    Around 600 minute since Burnley conceded a league goal

    They’re not great to watch but that defence has them right up there. Churn out clean sheets constantly

    I think Parker is becoming obsessed with it and it's costing them in front of goal. Plymouth aside they've scored 1 goal in the last 4.5 league games. 15 goals in 13 home games this season. Snoozefest

    But they're not a defensive side apparently

    If that was us people would be declaring a crisis ...

    ... of course it was a terrible result but, to be fair, we did score two goals on Saturday.

    Wonder if we will be treated to a shot on target or maybe even a save this half

    Sky Sports pulling themselves dry at Burnley's defensive record. Dull

    A TV channel relying on goals, to sell their product, continually praising a team for stopping goals and not scoring many <doh>

    Yes, that's just what people are paying their subscription for <laugh>

    I know I’m possibly very biased but Sunderland are better than these two teams

    There should be a 'KLAXON' icon, on here, so I could wake you all up ...

    ... I feel like I'm the only one still watching <laugh>

    Mebbe's not the best team but can certainly play better football than this ...

    ... as we did at Burnley who were ecstatic to get a draw.

    Not a single attempt on target, from either team, in 70 minutes.
