Mawson booked for kicking it away after the whistle went. Perhaps getting Murphy on and running at the two centrehalves now could bear something out? Both on bookings.

Losing his head a bit perhaps? Started getting into it with Ayew for no reason.

He's a good player, lacks the pace to be good in the PL perhaps?

absolute airshot

The incredible Alfie Mawson megged on the finish by Joselu

JOSELU! That was an excellent finish tbf, looked like nowt was on.

Not long at all, Gayle off. Gayle should've had at least two today, even then he'd have missed two other good chances

For fucks sake, if we lose this we ought to take every striker in the squad out to the training ground and shoot them. Though even then we'd probably fucking miss

Commentary team have shown up with their narratives pre-built today havent they? Dummets throws, Swansea in control apparently, Mawson is amazing etc.

Can't believe this is 0-0 tbh, we should be out of sight already.

Gayles finaly puts on in, rightly ruled out offside.

We never get penalties. Freekick won by atsu right on the edge

Bartley will get sent off today, he’s getting absolutely rinsed anytime one of Pérez, Gayle or atsu go anywhere near him.

Man, these look terrible

We should be winning, how Gayle has managed to turn that delivery so gently to Fabianski completely unchallenged I don’t know

I want it to be entertaining, but I want that to come from a fair exchange between two clubs players, not from the man in the middle whose job it is to apply the rules that make it function as a game, I want him to be as right as possible as much as possible and leave the entertaining to the people actually playing football. Once VAR comes in properly and is fully worked out and up to speed then the days of doing nowt but the goals and refereeing decisions on Match of the Day or whatever are gone and we'll actually be talking about football. It helps to make football about football, not referees.

People like Rix and Beardsley are the gateway to absolute success in football, if you don't get by them you don't get out of the academy system so people just put up with it. And then stop caring when it isn't their problem any more.

Sky reporting that we're looking to exchange Mbemba for Sakho in one of those oft reported, never actually happen, swap deals. So that's obviously not going to happen.

...Wow

I think he means Chris Martin

What are you, algerian or something?

https://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2018/jan/12/premier-league-10-things-to-look-out-for-this-weekend Top reporting on us from the Guardian yet again, this time from the other sunderland fan they have covering us, Glendenning. "Newcastle don't do well when Lascelles is injured" Didn't both Lascelles and Benitez say that he'll be fit and able to play immediately after the luton game?

Aye course we do mate, so does Rafa. I don't understand how you seem to be both surprised and totally sick of it at the same time.

4 days from deadline and you're worrying? Thats 4 days where we could sign absolutely anyone man!

You win by surviving, not by killing innit. That lad had just watched the buggy go by and was facing the wrong way I'd been waiting for an opening for a bit, took a potshot at his tree just before the buggy rolled up.
