Match Day Thread Sunderland AFC v Arsenal FC - Saturday 8th November 2025 - KO 17:30

At work in Sheffield today. Fans of both clubs, and a Forest fan, loved what we did to Arsenal. They also called the Chelsea result class.

Everyone said the same. Sick of these entitled fans wanting teams to just roll over. One lad said Arsenal behaved ****e all game and looked like they would cry at the end. About right. We are gaining a lot of friends simply by standing up to the big boys and giving back what they cant take.

Personally hope we are setting a new trend and more teams thinks bollocks to it, lets stick it to them a bit. Arsenal and their fans are rattled. Good. Bring on Liverpool and City as well. Absolutely no fear.

 

I think people are overthinking this lol, they just moved the hoarding to make room for the remembrance day band afaik...

I wasn't there so didn’t see the band, makes sense! Maybe the club should embarrass the likea of Keys and say this is why we "endangered" players ya ****ing tit!

How about the Coventry match, was there some reason pre-match that they were moved?

 

Love your post , but just calm down.lol

 

Its amazing me how Arsenal are still bitching on about Ballards alleged elbow, the foul on Zubimendi and the fact we brought the advertising boards in.... Also, Liverpool still whining on about the offside decision against City. Do these club actually believe they have god given right to win. Get over it,

 

Best is when those clubs fans try to say VAR etc always go against them! When its the opposite and the 1 in 10 times it doesn't go their way is what they base it on! Meanwhile they get the benefit of the doubt in every other 50/50 decisions and quite often something is blatantly ignored in their favour!

Ballards "elbow" was fair according to every pundit bar Walcott! Wonder why? But they are conditioned to expect teams to roll over and refs to help them along the way!

 

If Ballard hadn’t got his head square on the ball there might be a slight argument about the challenge, but he did …

… the Arsenal player went down, trying to con the referee and had to continue the act to cover his embarrassment.

That’s why referees find it so difficult to judge.

 

Granit Xhaka on Sunderland fans:
️ Xhaka said: “Away against Chelsea, they were all you could hear. These are real fans, not tourists. They’re not in town by chance; Sunderland is their life!

“Whether they’re 80 or five, they know why they’re at the stadium. They’ve supported us with an indescribable intensity since the very first match. Every minute here has been worth it so far. I’m not just saying that because things are going so well right now. I like the environment, the people connect with me, the family atmosphere at this club, which I’d only ever seen from the outside before.

“The moment I stepped into the dressing room, I knew: I’d made the right choice. When you feel this comfortable, you give an extra three or four percent. For the shirt, for the other players, for the club.”

[Blick - Swiss Outlet]

 

He’s right like. The support at Chelsea blew me away. Will never, ever forget the scenes when we got the winner. Bedlam.

 

‘This is the best atmosphere I’ve heard at Chelsea for a long time, and it’s only the Sunderland supporters making a noise’. That was one of the commentators on stream I watched. It was incredible from start to finish.

 

No need to calm down Bob.

When we've all put up with the pathetic displays away to Cheltenham, being bullied by Gillingham at home and a host of other dog days, we should enjoy it now.

For me, there's no point in going and watching if you don't . Those running the show are on the case and when it falters, (not if) they won't panic.

And even if it did all go completely t**s up again, or when it does, we'll all handle it. We'll handle it like we did before, by keeping it all going .

Get carried away. There's nowt wrong with that.We have had enough shyte thrown at us to last a lifetime .

It's not "One day," anymore. It's these days.

 

Ffing Gold dust that bloke.

 

"You don't hear noise like that anymore at football grounds. And the last time I did, it was here, and it was Dan Ballard scoring then too"

Don't Goodman, after Dan's goal in Saturday. I watched the ninety back through.

 

Class, and he’s not wrong.

 

This is ‘death by a thousand cuts’ for the Mags …

… every day there’s another mention of our support home and away.

 

Brilliant post mate.

 

They’ve suddenly gone from being the richest club in the world that we’re supposed to have had a PL title by now to the richest owners being held back by the cartel. That’ll be the cartel that has the same rules to play with. They’re absolutely pathetic and backtrack like an Italian tank regiment.

 

Certainly is, can't recall whether it was on here or OTR but there was a comment along the lines that the Mags support at Brentford had immaculately observed a 90 minute silence on Remembrance Sunday..
