Saint Charlie put this is in the Sunderland thread. Shows how mental this season is.

Jesus.

He’ll never win with some, because some made their mind up on him when he arrived.

Or opposition fans view us more objectively than our own fans do.

If you’re suggesting he should have saved either goal today then there’s no helping you.

Only lost one league game this season that he’s started in - Millwall.

It’s all well and good having pace and tricks, but if you don’t have a football brain it doesn’t really matter.

This place never fails to deliver, tremendous.

There was a forklift moving them whilst the fire brigade were hosing the fire.

Not sure Charles gets an easy ride, it’s just that he doesn’t play much. When he has played, he’s generally been slated.

Someone’s going to get high 90’s and not get automatic promotion. That’s going to sting going into the playoffs.

Pretty sure people have been saying autos were gone for weeks, not sure why they’re still bothered by the Leeds / Ipswich / Leicester scores.

Yeah, at a very unrealistic level to stop him going on the cheap. And also to put a yardstick in the ground to say to prospective buyers that this is the level we’re talking about. We won’t say no, so long as Juventus stump up the cash. The only player we’ve seemingly sold below our wanted valuation (who wasn’t in final year of contract) in recent years was JWP. I can’t see them forking out more than £15m for him, certainly not for someone playing in Div 2 of the English league. And there’s no chance we accept that.

Think it’s pretty obvious the club weren’t expecting Juventus to pay €49m for him. And also pretty sure they will expect them to be making it as nice as possible for him there. None of this still changes the fact he’s a Southampton player, signed a new contract this season and they will have to pay us what we want if they want to sign him. Wouldn’t surprise me if the new contract had a release clause which happens to be the same amount as the €49m option Juventus have. Suspect we will have a Tella situation, whereby Juventus will want to pay us peanuts and we’ll tell them where to go and sell to someone who makes a more meaningful offer.

Of course not, I’m sure Bednarek doesn’t feel any extra pressure to deliver a performance because of a light show, or Downes eyesight was affected by the lights. Just seems to me we generally play shite after one. Also, it’s Preston at home FFS. Save it for a game if importance if you have to do it, or for our title celebrations..🙃

Have we ever put in a decent performance after one of these? So fcking tinpot.

Have to say, a season of struggle, losing most weeks, a chance of an absolutely pounding against the top sides, trying to scrape 36 points to stay up does not appeal to me whatsoever. The issue is if we don’t go up this season or next, it’s probably death by a thousand cuts. Football at the top level has really just become a joke and a bit pointless really.

That Strachans first game I think?

Would love a 1-0 win - back to looking more sound defensively.

Agreed, would have been interesting.

We’ve already lost on penalties to Hull in the playoffs, keep up.

Depends what I’m comparing against. I’ve not created multiple logins because I’m so desperate to post on a football forum, so think I’m doing ok.

Yes, that’s why I said it..

Not sure you have tbh.

No not just ours, it’s true of most. But in this instant, it’s not other fan bases abusing our player.
