Saint Garrett

Saannntooonnnn!!!!

Few years before my time!

Yer just seen it. Can he be banned afterwards?

Fair enough. I've never heard of him!

Lampard 200th goal vs the hoofers!

It had to be Berba.

Odd really considering the supposed talent they have. I rate a lot of their players...Johnson, Sessegnon, McLean, Fletcher, Rose, shouldn't be in a relegation scrap IMO. Sunderland must be one of the prems highest spenders in the last 4 or 5 years if you don't count the top top teams. (I don't actually know that's just a guess!) seem to remember they played quite a lot of good stuff last season but that doesn't seem to be there this year.

He was only out the game for a year or so wasn't he between Vila and Sunderland jobs ?!

Wouldn't say he was rubbish by any means. I rate O'Neill but agree he should be doing better at Sunderland.

Yup, unfortunately. And 'Block' only works when people don't quote him, halfway there though.

Agree. We can certainly put some breathing space between us and them over the next month. Although visa versa, us having Chelsea and reading away we could also get dragged back into it. We need to concentrate on ourselves over the next few weeks but Newcastle winning today will give us a massive hand. I see Reading and QPR as down now.

If we had spent £12m and £100k+/week on Johnson they'd be uproar on here.

Adam Johnson has really not progressed as a player as much as he should have done. Was superb at Boro, seems to have gone backwards

Personally think both decisions are harsh, but can also see it from the ref's perspective and why he gave what he did.

Norwich keeper sent off...looked harsh.

1-0 Norwich...

Sunderland looking very poor so far. I really thought they'd push on under Martin O'Neill but it hasn't quite happened.

Sunderland Vs Norwich Spurs Vs Fulham Chelsea Vs West Ham Wigan Vs Newcastle Let's hope that Chelsea and Newcastle can do us a favour today. Wouldn't be against Norwich winning either...

Basically that says if we win 2 more games, then we'll stay up. Have to be pretty disasterous in the rest of the games to win 2 and go down. Hopefully we'll finish around 13th/14th. Maybe other 'safe' teams may tail off a bit at the end of the season, and we'll still have the focused mentality.

Personally not sure Gerrard is capable of changing his game enough. His game is built on being a 'rampaging midfielder' and Pirlo's adjusted in a lot slower league. He was world class a few years ago, but arguably not anymore.

This. To give Lallana a 9, and J-Rod a 7 is a bit strange IMO.

Fans of club thinking we can get a result shocker...

If only.

Didn't mean France, I meant European football. It was late ok....

Although I'd like to agree, Fulham and WHU having 2 games in hand and Sunderland 1 game, I think they'll also pick points up from them. Saying that I would love it if WHU went down.
