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.

 

There's a section of our fans that always needs a scapegoat or a victim, some times they pick on one for no reason. And that player can never do right for doing wrong, no matter how well they do some fault will be found.

 

Noticed that

 

I totally agree just pointed that out as thought it was something that a lot of people may have missed in all of the euphoria

 

some of the lads we have now are the some of the best players to play for the club ever

quite the transformation

 

yep I saw that, was obvious as **** and amazing nothing more came of it

fact is we gifted them the lead and hubris showed for them, lots of flicks and trick and to be fair a few id them were real silky but oddly I was never too concerned because again the goals were our own making and back the lads at home.

 

Nothing tin pot club. Fortuitous to be in the prem when the financial draw bridge was raised.

 

How's thar Polish keeper getting on that went to Saud?
Rich I suppose

 

When you put it like that .....!

 

If you watch Brobbys face as he heads the ball.....the mans face looks at the ball like its a piece of s**t that should know its place.... in the back of the net.

 

He’s been a cracking signing. Bargain

 

Glad you said that!! I thought that when watching it back. “**** you ball. Get where you should be!!”
