Ex Lion Tamer

Seriously, Robinson's not that good. No one conceded more goals from long range then him last season

Agree he doesn't deserve blame for the own goal, but he does have a habit of doing other things that are a red rag to the crowd, like the open goal miss against Stoke and more generally not jumping for headers

To be fair though, the big difference between Benali and Guly is that Benali was a grafter who got stuck in, whereas Guly has a style which makes him appear lazy (emphasising the work 'appear').

As far as I can see he has done ok after some early jitters

He tries to run with it every time, and often gives it away as a result

All those people who were certain he should be playing despite not having the benefit of seeing him in training. In fairness though, it doesn't help with confidence when we're constantly chopping and changing. Keepers need security as there is already so much pressure on them

The thing about this season is there aren't really any clubs underperforming due to bad managers, a la Keen, Megson, McLeish. Except maybe Man City. Makes it tougher for us

He was dreadful today but it's really over the top to write him off. He has got plaudits for other performances this season. The money could probably have been better spent given that we needed a consistent performer but he is playing a useful role

We have a transfer committee

Let's not forget that Sunderland have mostly been pretty solid this season, they've just struggled to score goals. Our passing was also off but we know we can play better than that

To what extent are the conditions to blame? We seem unable to string a pass together, and we know we're better than that

Was just a one-liner that I saw so no detail to add, but I can vouch for its existence

Yes I saw that in the Metro

Could get worse for them too if Ba goes in Jan and they don't replace him

Refereeing is such a hard job. These words should be tattooed on the brain of every fan and TV pundit

Still quality

The scroungers may exist in some cases but the extent has been blown out of all proportion by a sensationalist and elitist media: http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2012/nov/28/benefit-scroungers-child-poverty-parents

Would rather we play as few games as possible until we reach the transfer window

Fixed

Commentator emphasising how tired we look

How have they not scored

Stay off the beers and take regular exercise

Is this insider knowledge or speculation?

I largely agree with this, except I think it was our plan to keep Kelvin as no1 for this season, which was a mad decision as he was clearly not up to the Premier League. Then when that went tits up we panicked and got Boruc in as it was always too early for Gazza, which should have worked out but it turns out Boruc is completely unfit. At least tonight's game shows we can compete, we just need to stay in touch till Jan and then we can sort out this huge weakness. Certainly think it's out of order to call Gazza a clown, 20 is very young for a goalkeeper and he shouldn't be in this position.

What a save by Gazza, pure class. He's certainly got potential
