Sunderland AFC

For the record, I have yet to hear any Sunderland fan say that they thought it was a red card.

What a wash out yesterday was.

My first away game of the season, had a great Saturday night in Liverpool followed by that!! I actually thought we did ok first 25 mins, hit the woodwork a few times and then they scored with their first shot.

Right back in it at 2-2 and for some reason didn't shut up shop and kept pressing.

Sunderland away fans were brilliant as usual.

On a sad note, a lad about 5 seats away from us had an fit and was down for about 20 minutes whilst paramedics looked after him and then managed to get him out of the ground. I hear is ok but it was pretty awful when he was 'fitting'. Seemed to go on for ever.

Everton stewards, police were excellent I have to say. Their fans were not :-(

Both my teams win big games in the same weekend on National TV... maybe there is a god!!

What a steal!

Great effort by Dafoe to keep the pressure on the defense.

And it was a steal!! Hard work paid off though I guess and we were due a little luck away from home. Massive win what with the run of games we have coming up.

Another good defensive effort and a late breakthrough.

Back to back wins! Lofty heights.

Indeed it is, about bloody time too.

We have a really hard December fixture wise so it was a must just to keep us in touch.

I feel bad for Sunderland. I just don't see enough talent on that squad to keep them up.

You are not wrong there.

They had a pretty spirited, if ultimately doomed, effort against Arsenal but since then it has not been pretty. The next home game loss against Watford was particularly disappointing considering the remaining fixtures of last month.

Need to get something against AV at home.

Just gut done watching the second half as I missed it this morning.
Thank goodness for Dafoe.

Indeed. Two poor sides playing yesterday, but you can only beat what is in front of you. Must kick on now to have any chance but as always a run of hard games coming up...

Two sides playing poor, but that Aston Villa goal was outstanding!

Congrats on the win.

Oh what a finish that was. Right in front of our seats too, some hit.

Huge win for you lot, and not too bad for the Magpies either, even if you did jump just above us in the table. Could have done with one less goal for you lot, though

It's keeping it going that's the problem for both of us. Your lot look like they played well the few weeks too, just without picking up results.

Yeah, even a few of those 1-0 losses were improvements, barring the West Brom one. Usually we only get up for playing against the big clubs, like we did against Man U. Man, if they weren't gifted a penalty, I think we win that one. We still came back from 2-0 down. Oh well.

Form is one thing, but if you're not getting results at the bottom, form won't matter.

Another six pointer this weekend. Seems like it's every other weekend we have a must win game.

You lot just signed Harper. Boo! Traitor! This is unforgivable! Of course, if a Sunderland player signs for Newcastle, that's okay (as long as he's good), because that's just moving from the dark side to the light

He's a Sunderland lad (Seaham Harbour, same as my old man!) so he knows what it's about. Will never play, is third choice keeper but may be able to help Pickford along. He will also be on about 10p a week, so it's a no brainer.

Shame some mags have meant he has had to close his Twitter account

Oh, I know. I was just joshing around. He said specifically he's looking forward to mentoring Pickford. Also, he pre-emptively closed his twitter account, before the signing was announced. A small detail. I think he remembers the Jack Colback backlash lol

Scrappy point against Liverpool. Another game that Liverpool dominated and had no business giving away points. Story of the season really.

I was shocked to see you lot get back a point in this game. Might be a huge point for you, in the end.
