Re:**** sunderland v city **** offical match thread

[Blue Since 76]

No mention that we had the game last Wednesday and on Saturday whilst Sunderland were resting and preparing, just the talk that we were lucky to get the points.

[Sparklehorse]

No mention on MOTD of the deliberate rake down Aguero's calf....??????

Missed the game as I was flying across but from reading the thread we had a poor game because:

a. We were off form.

b. The ref was shite.

c. Combination of both.

3 points in the bag, that's all that matters at this stage. Away from home, getting kicked to fuck, against a side scrapping for their lives? I'd take that, anyday.

C, but they also haven't played for 10 days or so and I think that told as the game went on. 3 points is all that matters

Didn't realise that, forgot it was a FA Cup weekend. Sounded like we started off well but then dropped our levels, probably a combination of tiredness on our behalf, them full of legs and the ref allowing them to run riot.

Cheers bud ;-)

losing Navas will not help with all these matches coming thick and fast.

luckily it was Sunderland today and not someone better. a well-earned 3 points on a cold, windy night.

The most important thing outside the 3 points for me is the fact that we're keeping clean sheets again. It's taken a while but hart, otter and Demi are starting to look better, albeit against poor opposition.

Apart from the odd shocker (which everybody has) I'm struggling to see this hopeless defence I keep hearing about on Soccer Saturday. Certainly when compared to others.

Joe motm for me, those two saves were excellent, certain goals.

Replay showed that it wasn't a double save. Second one hit the post. Joe got down and had it covered anyway.

well he had another good save or 2 in the 2nd half. Otter also had a key block and goal line clearance

Yes one in each half.

[South Stand Balti]

Any update on Navas? MP say anything?

A clean sheet is a clean sheet and always welcome, but in fairness we can thank Sunderland for not putting at least one past us.
