    steve says weve had a bad week ... worst performances for years mate...

    its been more about the opposition missing..

    sort it out...

    under rafa we had a clear style of play ...ie counter attack...we were very effective at it too..

    this is now not the same we have no clear syyle and a mess quite frankly! he HAS changed it .


    he was happy taking plaudits when we won a few games, but now its like hes saying i havent been able to change anything.

    you see thats just it... it takes time to ruin what your predecessor built and in the meantime theres still some well grown fruits for you to live off.


    if he doesnt fix it then the comparison card HE played from game 2 ... its going to come back to bite his fat arse in 2 or 3 games time.

    Except that Ritchie is a left footer whose best position is as an inverted winger.

    You missed out the what between come and May and added an unwanted either, then added other stuff after you yielded.

    just to be clear bruce himself started the comparison after game 2.

    it was always short sighted ... i said at the time on here hes in for a shock when he realises how strong we finished.

    you all took the bait.

    A plant that's been nurtured well doesn't die overnight when its stopped being looked after the same way.

    ah the Kassam Stadium, I've been there once, abandon hope all ye who get the train there, it's miles away in the middle of nowhere and you'll end up walking by motorways then through dykes and ditches on the way back in the pitch dark! Lol, I'll settle for the TV this time I think!

    Went to oxfords old ground many years ago. There was about five different “stands” along one side, one of which bore a striking resemblance to a bus stop.

    They now seem to have gone the minimalist route. One side is just a fence to a car park by the looks of it . There was a great clip from Sky sports where McGeady hit a shot that hit a van, presumably full of Sunderland supporters, trying to leave early when they played in League Cup. If anyone can find it post it please.

    3-5-2 allegedly. Almiron up front with Joelinton, allegedly. Ashley in the stands, factually.
