Sunderland Vs Hull City Official Sunderland Not606 Match Thread

Ultimitately for me the stats and form table point to a Sunderland win, that's why I'm confident we'll win this. What sort of game depends on what Bruce plans to do. I could be wrong but unless Bruce sets up in a similar shape and breaks up our play I can't see anything but a professional 3 points against Hull, let us out number you in the middle of the park with 4 in midfield I think we'll be out of sight at half time, again if Hull play three at the back I think our 3 forward will turn you inside out.

Thank you, although I'm going off your last 4 games mate. All the best for Saturday.

 

It shows how well regarded Poyet must be .......... nothing was going to stop Bridcutt following Poyet to Sunderland.

 

He looked tidy during the Derby like. Considering the magnitude of the match and it being his début premier league game. Looking forward to seeing more from him. Seems very composed.

 

If I was neutral I would be expecting a SAFC to win! However when we are favourites to win we tend to produce a right stinking performance! This will not be a straightforward 3 points! Wouldn't surprise me if it is drawn! I mean....when was the last time we won 3 off the belt in the league???????

 

I keep hearing about this new forward line, £12million for 2 players that have scored 18 in 91 games between them?

That's just not very impressive, it would be a poor return for ONE striker!

I stand by for one of you mentioning Jozy, overlooking that he is NOT our main goalscorer.

 

Difference is he didn't say you were! You said we were. I'm certainly not ****ting it over your team.

When we played you last, you only won because we scored for you and your keeper made a couple of great saves. And we had 9 men! Yeah I'm terrified

 

When was the last time we beat the scum 3 times in a row? 90 years ago but we just did it. Not saying it's going to be easy but we do have momentum and are playing with self belief now, the confidence is high and we're on a roll.

 

V. impressed. Talk about getting chucked in at the deep end.

 

We were appalling that day, I drove so I had to contend with that bastard drive twice after witnessing that.

We are a very different proposition now, the form has coincided with Wes getting fit as well as Gus coming in, however, the confidence has grown so now we look ok without Wes.

Where we find another defender like him I do not know, great career he's had, but without the injuries he could have been an all time great CB.

I do quite like Rosenior & Livermore is a good player, I'm not gonna be stupid enough to write Hull off for the game, I just think we will win.

 

Hull isn't a pleasant drive either to be fair, although nothing, nowhere is worse than East Anglia!

It's not the time & distance getting to Hull, it's the long stretches where you get slowed down, without fail, when you come off and join the 62/63

 

Looking at the form table and the stats we have to be the favourites. We were terrible at the start of season but now we're not and the way things are going under Gus we have every right to be confident.

Jelavic and Long are both decent but even with them I see them as being one of the worst sides in the league. Even if they play great and beat us I would still think that. Their fans don't seem to be able to acknowledge it but form is important, especially in a relegation battle, and theirs is terrible.

 

Going west before you go norf is the ****e

 

A point would be good for us but think you need to win before starting on your fixtures from hell run.
I have now started resting my voice in readiness for Saturday.My prediction for Saturday-great atmosphere from two genuine sets of fans.
PS apologies to S and P for the embarrassing action taken by our "powers that be".They seem to have forgotten that this is a football forum where some people will take the piss.

 

Hull is full of Nazi's, in-breds and people have a permanent wunny noses

 

You forgot really loud voices-as you will discover at the weekend.
I am practising the "maul" for an hour everyday this week.
