Oh, I know, make the stats up, just like the Rags not losing for a billion years!

For me our problem is a poor final ball time and again when we have them at our mercy

That was certainly the case today but I was never nervous about the outcome.

The commentary made it sound like an after the Mayor's event, dampening down an event that rivals the best around the globe. Barca and Real would be lorded for winning a game against a stubborn side but as it's us, against a perennial underdog, then it's shit news.

We really showed our stuff and the Rag media don't like it. Me personally, I'm loving it.

Sky brought up a stat for chances and it was 10 each.
Can someone tell me how they work these stats out because i sure can't remember then having 10 chances??

I remember four saves from Willy and a couple of headers just wide of the goal. Plus one shot on the post. And that's just from the top of my head.

Kolarovs fault we kept a clean sheet today, but seriously he played very well. Still got the nerves going a bit when he got near halfway.
Balotelli......that's a brilliant finish.

I feel we're much better when he partners Stones rather than Otter. The amount of covering the other defenders have to do when Otter just dives in is unreal.

Am I watching the same game that MotD are reporting. I remember City having all the early play but they've showed just the Sunderland chances. 4 chances to 1.

I'm much happier to see him playing in the middle rather than at left back. And to see him playing instead of the Otter.

A question raised when I was watching was " why does every cross into City's box find a Sunderland head"

On a different day one might have gone in but to me ,apart from one,they didn't feel threatening and if they had scored we would just have had to change gear.

I thought that as well....
And the commentator nearly creaming every time Sunderland get a chance and monotone when we score.
I never really bought into the alleged media bias, but this season it's so bloody obvious it's really beginning to bother me, every City story has a negative slant, sure we get plenty of praise from the pundits....what else can they do but praise us when we win....but they take every opportunity have a go at our defence...blissfully unaware that it's 5 consecutive clean sheets away from home for the first time in God knows how long.
I think if WHU get anything from tomorrow's game, I think we will win the league ! Chelsea will shit a brick !!

We had a lot of the early play but didn't really create much. Sunderland created quite a few good chances in the first half, despite not having much of the ball, so it's not surprising that the highlights focused on showing their shots as showing highlights of a team passing the ball around with little end product is not very interesting.

We stepped up in the second half and took control. We dominated possession and created lots of chances.

To the point that they didn't bother with the Silva offside goal, or the numerous chances we created? You do realise we had about 7 chances in that half.

What was the comment from RatBoy2, 'Sunderland were the better side, at least for the first 40 minutes'?
