When your defenders are awful, you win 2-1. When ours are having an off day we lose four nil.
I hate football.

He seems to always be pretty awful when I watch you guys.

Look at the chances we missed though. There's no way that should have ended 2-1. And how many did Sunderland have? They only threatened from set pieces, which Lloris dealt with well enough.
Only caught the end, my sleeping pattern's killed me recently.
Looking forward to the Yacob show.
Great result. Some very silly fouls and a debatable booking for Bale, but I thought we played well. Should have been 5-1, Clint was excellent when he came on, unlucky not to get two assists.
Lennon was superb, I think it was Hixx who said he was wank pre-match. Sunderland gave us a good game but I thought Lloris and the back 4 dealt with crosses well.

I didn't like Clint after the first few games but the past few months he has been excellent. Shown some intelligent play and can keep hold of the ball and draw fouls. Fast becoming one of my favourites, still think Sigurdsson can be big for us if he's given time too. Naughton today was absolutely superb, easily the man of the match, although Lennon did great too. So refreshing having a goalkeeper who can handle set pieces too, so unlucky it fell to John O'Shit.
Nothing.

Sandro would eat them all for breakfast, except for his buddy Dembele.
That there was contact? I don't think Gardner could complain if a penalty was awarded, he put his arm across him and his knee into him. I don't think that is the sort of simulation that deserves a booking.
The Beast needs a rest. He has played too much and contracted the same brain disease that affects Walker, turning the wrong way, dawdling and giving the ball away. Parker has looked sharp and will probably play against Reading, Gylfi as well.
From the angles I saw, I didn't see any lower body contact, just the arm, which didn't go across, but appeared to pat him on his waist.

Shinji time. Excellent.
Cleverley should help us avoid that habit. I think everyone's tired of watching Valencia stand still over the ball.

No problem, we'll let you know what Debuchy is like cheers.
Also make sure Cabaye is ready to join. French revolution, Lloris, Gallas, Kaboul, Debuchy, Cabaye.
Then in the summer when Madrid get Falcao, we'll take Benzema as part of this ....partnership we have with them :/
Well he certainly looks like he enjoys his meat alive, but I'm not sure Sandro could easily handle any of those 5, even on their worst days. He's woefully error-prone and inconsistent.

I don't think that is Sandros fault, same with Dembele, its what is going on in front of them, Ade and Defoe just isn't working, the movement isn't quite right. Sandros ball to Lennon in the second half was killer, shame it didn't get across goal and was cleared out for a corner.

We have got to win this game.
Sandro error-prone? He's started every single game and become a bit tired recently but that is nonsense.
If he's woefully error prone and inconsistent I can't think of a midfielder who isn't.

That should have been a penalty. We just got very lucky. But conceded on the corner. You have got to be fucking kidding me.

He shouldn't go down because of that though. I know players do because they think that's the only way you get a penalty and that if there's contact in the box you have to go down. You don't.
Outside of this incident, refs need to do a bit more to apply the laws of the game. There seems to be an unwritten rule that you don't get a penalty unless you go down. Similarly they don't apply the 6 second rule for goalkeepers and are much more lenient at corners. Why does this happen?
