    Typical of the Daily Heil, they've hated us for years and will do anything to stick the boot in.

    Ah yes, looking at it that way Dave, I see your point …

    … personally I wouldn’t want him confronting me if I had children there.

    Dozy ****es, reduced to moaning about pitch dimensions because the 'cartel' can't handle a bit of 'gerritupem'.

    I watched the game back last night. Not sure if anyone else noticed put Gabriel did an identical challenge to Ballard near the end of the game. Put his arm into our forward Without trying to even even play the ball Nothing was made of it as our player Didn’t play act for five minutes

    It’s hilarious when he says it makes it dangerous after a non league player died by running into a concrete wall next to the pitch!! A completely irrelevant comparison. He says “nothing like that” THEN WHY BRING IT UP YOU PRICK!!

    If Pep/Eddie came up with that they would be a tactical genius no doubt

    Can we talk about how Sunderland are actually the real deal.

    The passion, the endeavour, the resilience; The Black Cats have all three in abundance and have more than proven themselves already in the Premier League. Going toe-to-toe with the league heavyweights, Régis Le Bris' side have come from behind to defeat Chelsea at the death and bagged twice against the towering defence of Arsenal to seal a draw. That's serious stuff against serious outfits.

    Not only are much of the needed points already on the board, but the mentality to improve is relentless too. After drawing at home to Everton, skipper Granit Xhaka saw it as dropping a clear two points, citing the standards slipping late in training the day before. Talk about setting a clear standard to succeed.

    Wise men say only fools rush in, but you can't help but feel that this could be the best promoted side for a long, long time.

    This reminds me of Norwich's old ground 'The Nest'. Must have been terrifying being a winger or full back (and a supporter for that matter!)

    How good was the full day on Saturday? I’m hoping we get more later kick offs!

    That 5:30 was quite perfect. Getting to watch the other matches and even get the night match feeling without it being too damn late when it finishes
