“The Sunderland side that got promoted through the Championship play-off final cost less than £10m to assemble, it had finished a distant 4th in the Championship... it was filled with players signed in League One.

To rebuild an entire first team squad, land a number of players with serious European experience and lead them to 22 points after 13 games...

Beating Chelsea and Bournemouth and taking points off sides including Arsenal, Villa and Palace along the way...

I genuinely think it's one of the most impressive feats of recruitment I've seen in my lifetime”

He's a MLF aswell <cheers>
 
This, from their forum, had me laughing <laugh>

“Feck Sunderland and their cheating tactics, the referee waves away a clear dive from their player when he should have been booked, they commenced theatrics all over the pitch, they got away with handball, the ball went out and was blown back in when it should have been our throw they got a corner. It was constant not giving decisions to us and giving them stuff for diving. Awful refereeing. Awful fans. Awful result, again we were the far better team with nothing to show for it.
They were a bunch of fscking cheats, throwing the ball on to disrupt and waste time.”

Marvellous!
 
One thing that I thought was awesome today was Dance of the knights. In those conditions with rain pouring out of a blackened sky highlighted by the floodlights dancing to Prokofiev's haunting march was a bit epic. For a moment I felt like I was on the walls of helms deep waiting for battle <laugh> great day at the footy

He was an absolute disgrace, they got away with murder especially the first half. Time wasting on every goal kick, set piece or throw in yet he books our keeper for it late in the second.
Yeah I thought ref was poor today but he did get most of the big decisions just about right
Not sure how Scott managed to stay on the field though as he probably should have had 4 yellows in the first half. Think his manager knew that and hauled him off at half time.
They got a lot of the 50 50 decisions and were still complaining which I found bemusing. Conditions were bad and to be honest I think a few players from both sides gave him some big decisions to make but the truth is Iraola lost control way before the ref and that transmitted to his players.
