yep that's right take off the engine from midfield put on Gaston ,while they added legs and power against them, brilliant

lol

If you watch how Mourinho plays against our type of football it is the same thing. They players sap their strength for the first 60mins and then they bring on fresh players to add energy in midfield

I thought any tackle from behind is a foul whether they touch the ball or not. The reason they try to stop such tackles was to stop this type of injury

what receipts and photos? you know the form on here CB, can't say for legal reasons. I did see that with my own eyes though, You are of course correct in that it was not a court case per say but court proceedings. As Nc did not go through with it we of course would take it that he was not the innocent party.

how can his assists be unrelated to being good at linking play? To be fair to you i dont think you are one of those rabid anti RL posters but I feel he is getting some pretty pathetic stick. To expect Sunderland to play poorly in the 2nd half was optimistic, if we had kept it to 2 nil at H?T then perhaps. therefore they upped their game put in more energy and made it more difficult for the whole team, including RL

so the facts of the court case are? oh you want me to take sides on a court case without the facts. It is funny that, from somebody who never makes a statement,but just tries to pick away at others opinions. Too frightened to take a stance in case sometime later they may be proved wrong. You keep it up Mr Humourless you're doing a fine job.

oh, your post regarding Phil was supposed to be funny. Yep went right over my head ,all those others who posted their Lol's got it though

well 5 assists as well as numerous other chances he has set up but lack of finishing keeps the total down. Who has managed as many or more assists, AL? who is our main creative midfielder perhaps.

Well if i have to take a view from FF's accounts i may be a tad unconvinced 'as there is no wrath like an author/historian scorned' , he admits himself that he was not happy with events and so not all of the episode perhaps was relayed in an even way. As the case was dropped before it came to court then i would lean in the landlords favour. Was it the floor, a swimming pool, the lack of gardening that was the initial problem? nobody seems to have given a consistant reason why there was a problem.

by your description Sunderland played a more long ball/ direct game, do we wish to revert back to type of football. IMO we still in the very early days of the clubs underpinning of playing a certain way by keeping the ball. In time the good work and squad improvement will mean these type of games will become 3 points instead of 1 point.

I wonder what context the question was that was put to MP re this answer but it doesnt sound to promising.

does that mean he's finished, his legs are gone etc etc? if so we have a lot of 20 + year old who the same could be said of. I will put it down to frustration of some at letting the result slip. Too many think that we are Southampton and lowly Sunderland should shiver with fear as they are playing us. They are fighting for their lives and Poyet has a history of using any means to get results. horrible type of man IMO

Exactly, too many adore running down our loyal and committed players. Many dont understand about link up play and think RL is just a target man.

None of those are Phil

another marriage made in heaven.lol That will be funny seeing Gold etc being taken to the cleaners

whilst I have never heard of the man, he seemed like a fine human RIP

they surely will one day, but have you a timeframe?

well tell us the whole story, with the facts from both sides.

another thread started that should be elsewhere. Dont you have a mirror in the house Glasgow to ask look at me?

...

just the usual rumours I suspect, but until it all comes to light and both sides of the story who can really judge?

there seem to be quite a few who seem to be negative towards her

Is that the milk monitors day out

Iam not against KL but I also feel that NC was superb for our club. What we have to remember is that it was NC who went to ML and persuaded him to get involved. If it was not for that we would be playing at Moneyfields now. Therefore his bad management practice (not in my eyes) was the reason we survived and we can now talk about finishing in the top half of the PL. So many sit in the shadows with their petty grievances waiting for a downturn and then to come out spitting and snarling when the opportunity arises. ML who we have the utmost respect chose NC to front the club, is he now seen to be a fool? KL probably had no input of the purchase and running of the club until the passing of Marcus, only now she has taken control. ML had a project that he put into place and expected NC to carry out, who IMO went on the crusade to do that for his friend. I vaguely recall Marcus' drive from his deathbed to go and see his friend and present him the watch. (cant remember the whole story ) ML had his faith in NC and therefore I side with that view. I was not a victim of NC's ruthlessness except the ticket pricing, but understood that we need to raise money to get the club where it is. I will always be thankful to NC for bringing the club from the depths to where we are now, I will of course give KL the time to show her qualities of leadership. Good luck and i do hope you have the same drive and vision that your father had for this club
