Match Day Thread Sunderland AFC v West Ham - Saturday 16th August 2025 - KO 15:00

And to be fair Guy Mowbray was really excited

 

Looking forward to Monday night football hopefully analyse our performance a bit better than Rooney did

 

He’s not shut up since our game. Totally unprofessional- shown himself up , just a typical ignorant mag

 

I agree but he was generally favourable to us

 

Haven’t really watched motd since we dropped out the prem, but my god it’s been horrendous imo. Analysis is garbage and with the highlights being available straight after the games, won’t be surprised to see it being binned off unfortunately. Shearer and Rooney are absolutely painful.

 

well if i ever needed a reminder of why i stopped watching MotD when we were last in the premier, this was it, made worse by 'drooney' waffling on and the obvious missing contribution from her anal.
(EDIT: i can remember her anal being very fair with us in the past, think he has always tried to be fair and yes i realise it is his job but tonight was painfully obvious he did not want to mention us at all.)

read through more of the thread and am surprised at some comments to be honest, xhaka had a good game imho...he was always there to keep the ball moving and was never going to be running around with the ball, using his experience to plug gaps/blocking runs etc, sadiki was pretty much the same except he did the running so pretty good combo.

seelt was having a really good game and i think he had grown into the game, fairly sure it was 'just' an impact injury cos he hit the ground with a hell of a thump...that said, alderete got his chance and after his first couple of touches i said to my son 'well he looks fine after his two touches so far' just before micky bridges saying almost the exact thing and all i really remember of the first goal is saying 'feck me, he's got an assist as well'

 

Still can't get my head round how Isidor scores them goals from the LW cutting inside and hitting the ball so perfect .

What an unbelievable player

 

That's just him normally, mate. One of the most miserable twats on TV. When he's happy it looks forced.

 

Pinched from OTR, Xhaka did a lot more than some people realised by the look of it

Sorry @samwise_new my reply got totally bollixed there

 

i could be talking out my @rse to be honest but i got mville vibes from him...doing a good job moving around rather than trying to get his name mentioned.

 

Full 90 available after midnight on SAFC.com

 

Isidors finish was ridiculous. Cant stop watching it
Seriously wtf is going on here. Tve quality within the squad is unbelievable

 

The whole back 5 were mate. I know we scored 3 goals, but our defence kept us on level terms

 

Sorry to mention Shearer again , but he’s now creaming himself about how brilliant Newcastle were today ( in his eyes)

 

Nonchalant as fu k mate. Gi me more

 

Maybe he's not a good passer by South American or Spanish standards. If he performs for the rest of the season like he did in his cameo today, he'll be the talk of the Premier League.
