I think the Jose ship has sailed. I was also convinced he would be here one day but it feels like the right appointment but always the wrong time for one party or the other.

This is more like it.

This is what I meant by unrealistic. Have you seen how many manager that they get through. Not many people left by the time you rule all of them out of the equation.

At least try and put some effort into this. It makes it more fun.

Not buying into this at all. It is fans with unrealistic and unreasonable expectations, like you, who hounded him (and his family) out of the club. If Steven Bruce, a family man, did not care about us, why would he have recommended Steven Gerard or Eddie Howe to take over?

I have also never seen Jose do this. Sorry, but it is a no for me. Even if we have to stick with Howe, and I appreciate that must be hard for the majority of us- given the lack of improvement since he has taken over- I think I will just about manage to get some sleep.

Same could be said for Steven Bruce. Those who don't love him need a reality check. He is a family man.

He's no Steven Bruce.

Yet they will be critical of the referee. Booing at half time being the proof.

Klopp is an absolute fucking prick

Joke

Pitiful to try and justify that as a pen on Sky Sports. It is pointless to have analysis if it is clearly biased. Not one neutral fan would call that a pen.

Not sure what to make of Schar's hair dye. He suited the silver fox look haha.

I'm still not sure how he got away with that. Not complaining though.

This is just painful.

I thought Phillips was better than that.

That is shocking, if completely accurate. As much as it was frustrating to see Murphy do his shoulder again, I understand the thought process. It is crazy that specialists can give such difference in advice.

My brother is married to a Mackem and I enjoy taking the piss and I also enjoy her family taking the piss. It is funny and the real fun behind a local rivalry. I cannot imagine 'hating' a football club or a bunch of people, let alone a bunch of people for the team they enjoy, or suffer, watching. It is just bizarre. I put Sunderland till I die on our of curiosity and ended up glued to it. It was just nuts. I have recommended it to friends who don't have any interest because it is about Sunderland and they 'don't care' about them. I have tried to explain that it is fascinating car crash TV but they don't bite haha. I would have been gutted if it had been about NUFC under the Ashley era and I imagine some of the things that went on were probably equally as painful to observe.

I wonder what these people are like to meet in real life. It has nothing to do with them being Mackems either. It reminds me of the IT bloke off The Office. I didn't think people like that actually existed. I don't think I would be able to talk to someone like this without laughing at them. Unless they only save their tales for Internet forums.

We're not shite. Think back 25 months. That was shite. We are not as good away from home. We have a half decent bench to fall back on today. We look slightly drained but we are soing alright.

It worked against Man U

I am surprised to see Hall on the bench

Credit to Gemmill, geting us back on track.

Is Sven back? This would be huge!

It is such a disappointment. Committed for the win. I guess it was better to go for all or nothing. Gutting that it turns out it was nothing. I think we deserved the win in the game today on the overall game.
