I've now decided City have no chance, Steve Kean has played a masterstroke and is playing both Olssons, most people don't know we signed Martins twin brother.

Confusion is our gameplan

He played both matches against Porto together with Richards, who definitely is the first choice.

Kolarov cost a lot of money though and is used more than I thought he would. Weird situation with the left back.

I know he did. I would argue Richards has been dropped as well though. Mancini gave an interview not that long ago saying Johnson and Walker were better choices for England, and that Richards needed to improve. I took that as him not being entirely happy with Richards' performances. Complacency? Arrogance? Who knows... it doesn't take much to piss off Mancini.
 
Don't know what our fans are booing for, nice bit a injury time coming now.

Oh well, at least Sunderland have made the day slightly better.

Absolutely not, he has given Richards tons of compliments. He was much more harsh before. In the latest interview he basically said Richards has improved a lot, but needs to work more if he wants to be world class. Which is true.

He's the first choice, picked up a knock this week. Zabaleta is a fantastic squad player though and deserves to play.
 
What really pisses me off is the subs made. Why would Pardew bring on Ben Arfa when we're under pressure? I don't get it.

Every time Ben Arfa gets the ball I want to punch myself in the face.
 
We deserved to lose 4-0 but not sure West Brom's performance warranted a 4-0 win if that makes sense. Pub team would have beat us today, far too many players with their eyes on next week... no tackles, no energy, no commitment. Appalling.

Every game is 3 points, shit performance today doesn't mean a good one next week and they should be ashamed of themselves.
 
What an ugly game by Aston VIlla. I was almost hoping they would blow it. Our only strategy is to kick the ball downfield and hope for something to happen. I bet Robbie Keane is happy to be getting out of there.

Fuck.
 
Feels like two points lost not one point gained. With 13 games to go we HAVE to be winning those matches.

On the brightside the mackems got smashed by West Brom so it's not allllllllllllllllllllll doom and gloom!

Who gives a shit about other teams? If we're not winning our games then what's the fucking point?

I don't get the local rivalry anyway. It'd be a good thing if Sunderland won as many games as possible and got into Europe.
 
What have we done with the Carroll money? Glorious things. Cabaye, Santon, Cisse, Ba (free transfer but there's obviously still money involved), Marveaux (fair enough he's injury-prone but he did well in the games he played), etc.

I wouldn't have wanted that money to go anywhere else. We spent it brilliantly. We wouldn't be in the top 6 if we had the same team, that's for sure.

That being said, we still need a lot of work, especially in defence and midfield.

Have you ever lived in Newcastle or are you an OOT fan?
 
"There was a bit of controversy at the final whistle at Loftus Road, when QPR boss Mark Hughes seemed to snub Martin Jol's handshake. I don't think Hughes is too happy, and who can blame him after only one win in his six games in charge of Rangers."

Hughes is a tool. Hope he gets relegated.

Hasn't Hughes done this before?

Yeah lived there for years. I understand local rivalry but not to the point where a team such as Sunderland who (as far as I know) haven't had much success in terms of European qualification would be wished the worst by their rivals. I mean, Newcastle aren't in much of a better position than them and personally, I'd rather wish North East teams all the best no matter who I support.

I give quite alot of shits about other teams, even without being out biggest rivals (by the way have you ever lived in Newcastle? Would explain why you don't understand it) they are a team that could move ahead of us in the coming weeks. So yeah I care when teams around us are playing, It directly effects us.

As for Sunderland getting into Europe, I'm not even going to GO there.

Edit: So you have lived here, fair enough I guess. Personally I want Sunderland to scrape survival every season. That's what I would want to see.
