Were you at the match today Steedeel? I hope you weren't one of those walking out after being 2-0 down?...I never got that...support the team,that's what fan's are meant to do anyway....

It was a shocking start from Sunderland,one of the poorest I can recall from a home team,never mind talent,there was just no effort but you are bound to be happy with a point after that,with a bit of luck you's may have won it.

On the Utd front,jeez,can we win at Chelsea?I don't think so without Rooney and RvP.
Anderson is away but is there anyone coming in January,Coentrao possibly but he ain't gonna make a big change in the overall picture....we'll just have to wait until the summer.

Yes I attended as always. I have never left a match before the end so wouldn't start now. To be honest Villiam, not many people left. It was more likely to be the cameras fixing on a few people going for food and jumping to conclusions.
I agree with you about the first half. I feared the worst when I saw the team sheet. Sebastian Larson is simply not up to the task. Altidore too, is way out of his depth in the premier league. As soon as Colback and Fletcher came on, we were a different team. If we are to stay up those two I mentioned need to be kept away from the first team for the rest of the season.

No reason why not Tob. Chelsea are not that great. Mind you, I hope Man U are way under strength when they play us on Wednesday!

It did appear some were leaving until you's pulled a goal back but anyway yeah Altidore belongs elsewhere...maybe Scotland.

The substitutes made a big difference but just that goal helped a bundle but like I said the lack of sheer commitment at the start was horrendous,I played football like most of us and when you know you are playing a better team you have to be committed 100%,nothing less will really get ya a result,I still find it amazing how some players just don't seem to care.

True, although Cattermole only has to sneeze and refs book him so you can understand his cautious approach. (Didn't last long though lol)

As for Altidore, what have the scots done to deserve that!

The hilarious thing is, people don't know true suffering until they have followed a team like mine. What we would give for a hint of success.

Stay with poyet build a fountain and give it time and then things might change look at Swansea for example.

As I have said before,Moyes is and will be a good manager but I didn't want him,we should have went with Mourinho,the Utd board didn't fancy him as he never hangs around but for me he was the perfect man to take over from Fergie.

They get a pass from me. Been great for us for the most part and I ain't gonna have a go at them. We were poor as a team first half. Like I said, Larson in midfield is Recipe for disaster. Although I was upset that he was cheered off. I know it's tense and frustrations are boiling over but I felt bad for the lad.

I don't rate o shea and brown as good defenders in every match they are prone to a mistake.

City fans said that for long enough,ya never know what may be round the corner.

I disagree bud. For the level we are at, they have been fine. All defenders are prone to mistakes in the bottom half. Brown has been solid since he came back from injury.

Man.city is a fake club and the only reason where they are at this time in there history is because of a sugar daddy.

Championship mate. Once again, we have blown our chance of getting out of bottom three like I predicted previously.

Do you really think that about brown every match i see him in he is a liability and sunderland can't afford to have someone like that in there team.
