.... We're gonna have **** all for people to complain about. Delighted with this, I'd have taken a draw, but once they went to 10, we were always gonna win. McLean, 350k....? What a ****ing piece of business. Let's give Derry Ringo back for the pleasure, or is that even worse? We rarely look like conceding under MON, regardless of personnel, we always look a threat (although last half hour today Barcelona couldn't have played football...) Smashing result, well established in the top 10, and a nice easy cup tie to come, followed by some southern fairies. WE ARE SUNDERLAND
We said BB, its a great time to be a Sunderland supporter, Its scary to think where we might be had we had MON for day 1.
Fantastic result!! Stoke away is never an easy game for anybody as we have found at for the last couple of seasons and once I had seen the state of the pitch I would of took a point then but for us to grab all 3 is fantastic and keeps us in 8th. Watched it online and everyone was fantastic again, think the new signings are going to really struggle to get a game but I am sure they will get there chance along the way. Great to pick up the 3points and great that we did it with Campbell having a bit of a breather, will do him the world of good, wouldn't of liked him playing out there today. Lets get another win on Wednesday eh?!!!
Dreadful conditions, horrible football changed by a very good goal (megging the defender before shooting?). As we scored and they din't we deserved the win. Atkinson definitely looked like he was trying to even things up, some dreadful tackles by Stoke unpunished. Then O'Shea runs alongside one of their players and gets booked. What the **** was that about?
Best to not think about MON coming in earlier Vegas mate, cos it's actually quite a wonderful missed opportunity, even 3 games earlier and we'd not have the gap above us (the closing one ) Mclean, maybe he needs a new contract with Sess, the lad will be on peanuts, we need these 2 tied down, well and truly. What a pair of footballers they are.
That bloody McClean knacked all my bets the sod. (He could have at least scored two so my match bet won.) So how come I'm still smiling and happy?
****ing dradful game to watch..........................but **** it, another 3 pts, sealed by the steal of the season. Well done who-ever found the lad from Derry.
And let's give Steve bruce credit for some of the players he signed, we will never sign a player like Mclean again for £350,000 !.
The fact we played nder par is what impresses me, we could not win nice never mind ugly, now we just win
Three fantastic points. Still eighth. Awful match in poor conditons. The ref was a joke. Play ugly and win isn't that what Sir Alex used to say? Haway the Lads!
O'neill has built these results by organising the team defensively. Unbelievable to think Bruce was a centre half! We always looked dodgy at free kicks and corners and now we look pretty solid. Hopefully Arsenals 7-1 was a flash in the pan. We can beat them at our place though. Sol will be rocking!
Just thought i'd applaud you on how well you're doing, i didn't think you'd finish in the top half this season but ever since MoN has come in for you, you lot seem a decent outfit. Nice to see the north east doing so well.
