Sunderland AFC

[Stout]

The Toon helped themselves vastly with a draw, and my bro Owen hooked up a goal. Excellent!

Wow, I didn't know that ESPN actually broadcast the games in HD. I will definitely DVR ESPN's games as opposed to Setanta's from here on out.

And I'm getting really sick of the English clubs winning all the time. I just want some parity. I'll be enthusiastically rooting against Liverpool next week.

I was in a tough spot with taht game....I am a Juve fan so I tend to root for italian teams since we are still a year away form Champions, but just couldn't bring myself to root for inter. So I just sat there watching the game not caring who won. Just wait till next year, JUVE + $200mil to spend on bringing in players = Champions League run. But for the rest of the CL I will be pulling for Roma, really don't want to see Liverpool, Manchester or Chelsea win it....I wouldn't have much of a probelm with Arsenal.

I think it was a good result for us too tbh - only 2 points going out to the bottom 6 rather than 3.

i really think you guys will be fine with Fulham, Reading and us to play at home still.

I think we might be in the mire a bit though - massive homes game in the next 3 weeks against Man City and West Ham plus an away trip to Fulham who looked canny on Sat against Everton

Good job for both clubs. I don't know about the Sunderland game, but it's really nice that my Magpies finally came out and clearly played as the better side. What a sweet, sweet win this one is, and Viduka and Keegs made up, and Owen got on the board. I only wish Martins had netted one on that excellent strike.

Bummer about Fulham, though. I didn't want them to have to lose because I don't want them to go down. Had to be done, though.

i went to your game on Sat and have to say they were two poor teams (make no mistake Sunderland are no better) but you did look to have a lot more than fulham.

my mates were happy at fulltime and i must have spent about £20 WApping my phone to get the lads score all day. good day all round for the northe east clubs in the end.

its keeping it going is the hard part now!

 

[Stout]

WOW!!! I couldn't watch the game, but I looked at the late scores, and I figured a 1-1 draw with West Ham for you guys. A 90th minute winner, huh? WOW!!! Congrats, that's a huge result for you. You now stand ahead of us in the table *grumblegrumble* but it looks like neither of us will be relegated, which is good news. Fulham, though...ugh.

96th minute winner what a finish.

I was following the match online and I had a feeling that the Black Cats would somehow find the winner. They just keep getting those last second goals. I started to get misty-eyed. A great strike by Reid! Incredible!

Looking good for staying up this season.

Seriously it was the NINETY-SIXTH MINUTE!?!?!? How in the heck did it go that long? I mean, was it one of those sustained offensive attacks that the refs refuse to blow the whistle on until the defensive side has cleared the ball?

 

[Stout]

Ahem...all hail King Kev! WOW, what a display! First half, we have no space on offense and sit back far too much on defense. We concede an early goal. The commentators are saying that we're not playing bad, but that we're playing without confidence. Nicky Butt slots home an excellent shot at the end of the half, and King Kev must have said something right in the dressing room, because WOW!!! Granted, Spurs were playing bad football, but a lot of that had to do with how we were locked in offensively. Excellent, excellent display, and lots of goals to go around. I mean, I could still see a lot of the little errors in the game, but compared to before, we were playing lights-out. Excellent effort, excellent result. Sunderland had best be wary when we play. What's relegation?

 

[Stout]

Look out for Newcastle...fully on form, and for the 2nd straight game all three strikers scored. Looks like Sunderland's form is pretty good as well. Should be a cracker in two games at St. James. We'll win, of course

Fulham 1-3 Sunderland

First win for Sunderland in London since 2001. The Black Cats are now safe, 10 points clear of relegation after their third successive win and second straight road win.

Fulham are now doomed to the Championship next season.

Yeah, that's a shame. I'd like to see a side with so many Americans remain in the top-flight.

Well EJ and McBride will go down wit hthe ship but i think Dempsey will latch on to another Prem team.. Hoping Villa? Carlos looks doomed to be on his way back to the MLS...

Well since this is a Sunderland thread.. Anyone see the new away Kit?

Where did you find that photo? I haven't seen the new away kit posted on the official site.

i like it!

another £40 down the pan....

I love the fact that the two derby rivals, Newcastle and Sunderland, both have the same basic kit only in different colors.

Pretty cool site. I hope Sunderland goes with that away shirt. I like it much better than the white.

 

[Mulli]

If only Fulham had top-flight Americans. I have an extreme dislike for McBride.

 

[Mulli]

So what about Peter Crouch to Sunderland?

McBride just had a game that will really help them fight against relegation, though. I agree he's otherwise pretty washed up.

 

[Stout]

So what about Peter Crouch to Sunderland?

That would be a major coup for Sunderland, but he needs help up front. Does Sunderland have a good contrast striker to play next to him?

jones is twice the player Crouch is so unless we lose him it doesnt make sense.
