Match Day Thread Sunderland AFC v Bournemouth FC - Saturday 29th November 2025 - KO 15:00

I couldn't remember why Diakite was familiar name yesterday! You have just made the penny drop!

 

I see Gabby nearly let the mask slip last night on MOTD, as she choked on saying Stadium Of Light!.

 

always good to read plenty of 'reports' from both fans, seems we were both p1ssed off with that ref, have watched MotD and various clips online and have to agree it was a 'soft' penalty but had reinildo played for city he would be getting praised for getting his body in the way and drawing the foul but the truth is he went in from behind, soft or not it is not allowed now...and i stick by my thought that scott should have been red carded well before half time so no wonder he was replaced.

there were a few mistakes, traore, xhaka and i think i remember a bad pass or two from le fee but the three of them still had good games and combined to get us the win (there were others of course) and that is what is making this squad so good, they never dwell on it and just get on with the game.

have also seen some half time 'reports' from their fans and strangely there were none saying that the ref was bad...it seems he 'only went bad' in the 2nd half, sorry lads, he was sh1te from the off.

 

Seems like from social media there’s a small group determined to drag Traore down, no idea why.

Lads been a steal and done great. Yeah has his shortcomings but he contributes every week.

 

I really can’t understand the Traore issue. I’d have him down as our best player first half yesterday and he got us back into the game second.
