I missed the first half marra. Did you have a card display of a Sunderland hero again marra, like Darren Bent?

Fair enough, agree to an extent. Although in this situation I still think we have enough because I honestly think we'll beat Arsenal, Linerpool, Spurs and ManU at home. They won't ser up like Leeds or Fulham. I'll be somewhat concerned if we make no attempt to replace Wood I admit. But then again no point buying for the sake of it.

I'll add again, GD rolls you a lot about a team. Look at ours compared with everyone outside the top 4 (and ManU in it).

Very glass half full that, even to the extent you censored out our league cup win over Premiership opponents. The time to start worrying is when you don't create the chances. And when you start leaking goals. Neither of which has happened. I'd much rather be drawing games than losing them. We drew most our games at the start of the season, then started winning. We're in another phase of drawing. We'll start winning again soon imo. We won't be overtaken imo.

They call us lucky! Fucking Stewart dives with minimal contact, outside the box. Borough have a man sent off, pelanlty awarded. Pelanty saved but Stewart gets the rebound. Lucky, lucky bastards! First time I have watched Sunderland this year. I cant tell if I'm watching a dire second tier game on a freezing NE day or watching the Brazil 1970 side in the Maracana.

Nice wish list but you seem to me to be being a bit pessimistic to me regarding 4th place. When you factor in GD we are 7 points ahead of spurs and 11 ahead of Chelsea or Liverpool. What makes you think we will start losing games and they will start winning them? I can't see it when I watch them play. It just seems to me that we ourselves believe the media myth we're not Where we are on merit. If anything, considering the amount of draws we have got where dominated, I think we have less points than deserved. And I can't think of a single league game we deserved to lose (including Liverpool). Actually iirc we were fairly lucky against Brighton early doors, but that's it.

Yeah, but having said all that, something was really bugging me thus match. It's taken this mackem to pinpoint it. We're exactly like Birmingham City 14 years ago.

Have to say as well, although I felt this game was frustrating, I was never in the slightest bit concerned of losing. Put the boot on the other foot, I would have been bricking myself as a Palace fan and chuffed with that result. Like I wouldnhave getting a 0-0 draw against Liverpool at SJP a year ago. Things look incredibly bright for us, I fear no-one.

Agreed. Imagine this a year ago at an away game in London. I've always argued that we'd have to transition from a counter attacking team to a team that dominates and I'm amazed how well we've done it. We've done the hard bit, we just need the final piece in the puzzle now, bulging the onion net. Look at these stats man. Away from home.

I'm looking forward to your display tomorrow marra.

I dunno. We had so many chances tonight but just couldn't find the cutting edge. Similar to Fulham. And Leeds. A bit unlucky in that aspect. Reckon if we had scored one early on, they would have been forced to come out and we would have scored a few more. Very fine margins imo.

Liking your own post, mackem prick.

I think we'll get it without him but would definitely not complain if we strengthened our forward line up.

Still we're third and efflectively 7 points ahead of Spurs in 5th. We'll be okay, the goals will come and our defence will see us through.

Somebody needs to check his dental records.

14. Our conversion rate is getting to Pardew levels.

And "Sunderland got under my skin" Like a dose of scabies.

Useless jock bastard.

I was watching the shite that is the Apprentice last night. Don't know why the fuck I do it, it gets worse every year, but there you go. Anyway, Team Hubris would be a fantastic name for the one of the dickhead teams to use! Kind of sums up the programme.

Aaaahhhhhhh. Them jammy mags marra! FtM!

Wood is fucking shite but we still need someone as cover for the sicknote twins. Would personally love to see a solid centre forward brick shithouse signed who can actually score. Cheeky bid on Haaland?

Such a weird thing to chant about like. "We have the best hoaxer prossie serial killing psycopaths marra". Fucking hell.

Wearside Jack you say?

Truly tragic this wiki even exists. As for this particular contention, the reference given is irretrievabe even using the wayback archive progamme. Much like the venerable Bede being a massive lads fan and coining the term geordies.

Pretty sure that Spud lad (? have I got this right, the lad/man often pissed and sporting a wig mohawk seen at most aways) used to bellow out "NOVOCASTRIA" from the Leazes in between his refrains of "DODGY KEEPER". Anyway, I liked it and built a city called Novocastria on Sim City 2000.
