Kozak is everywhere. He's been itching for his chance.

I would say the usual 'stealing a living' stuff, but, frankly, they know it.

Rabbits in headlights. 

 

Time me to play the kids and let them simply show some desire.

Nuts to the kids. Play us. Organise a VillaTalk lottery. Every week a lucky 16-17 get to pull on the Claret and Blue. Ayew gets to play. Maybe Veretout as well.

I really look forward to the excuses after this match.

Garde is absolutely useless.

Excuses? Why bother? We should be numb to this game, right? Can't believe you're wasting your time watching.

I'm interested in who you guys think was to blame for their first.

Should Hutton be closing him down? Should Micah be closing him down so Hutton is still free to mark the wide player on the wing? Should a midfielder be tracking back (I think Gana was closest, but he was half arsed jogging back at the time of the shot)?

I cant decide. Maybe the players can't either, because we keep getting into the same situations every game and nothing is changing.

But you are working on the assumption that Sunderland won't get any points in the next 3 games the other teams around there....which is highly unlikely....therefore 3 straight wins in reality still wouldn't see us safe. But pat yourself on the back for spotting a non-existent mathematical error on the internet anyway. 

Alright son calm down.

Played against two of the dodgiest keepers I've seen but still manage to f**k up.

7 points from safety. 3 wins straight from us wouldn't get us safe. And the chance of us winning 3 straight matches ranges from 0 to 0.

3 games x 3 points per win = 9 points

Settings aside those dodgy maths, you're right; 3 wins in a row is a ridiculous proposition.

Hm.

From saying "**** this, **** that, **** them, **** it all, **** that obsessed knuckle dragger Deeney" to clapping my hands loud enough to scare the dog and screaming "**** COME ON!!"

I hate Villa

Always thought it would depend on context. "Oi, you smelly Paki" would be incredibly offensive. Where as, "You're from Pakistan? Cool, my girlfriend is a Paki too" not so offensive. But it would always depend on the subjects view. Maybe they were bullied with that word a lot as a kid and they always find it offensive, for example?

Calling an Indian a Paki would also definitely land you in hot water. As I said; context.

First half was terrible. Second half was much better. Very encouraging for when our players have gelled a bit.

Guzan looks very nervous. Amavi is gonna be big. He'll be off in 2 years.

RUDY! RUDY! RUDY! RUDY!

Haven't been able to watch this one. Is it as bad as it sounds?

Looking far far better. Dunno what Sherwoods done or said.

Maybe he's promised them facials if they start performing.

and the first two times we get hold of the ball we immediately give it away with more sloppy passing

Don't worry. Just bury your head in the sand and everything will be fine.

It took only 45 minutes before the doom merchants started piping up 

Not performing one game =/= relegation. Calm down.

We're just expressing our disappointment at how badly we're performing.

 

 

Sherwood you need to do something at half-time I know this a new squad and most of these players have never played in this league, I understand it will take time to gel but seriously change things up a bit..

They're a new squad but it doesn't take best friends to be able to pass to feet. They're professional footballers. 10 yard passes to feet is a fundamental you learn at 5-6 years old.

And most of their players have never played in this league before. We're just gutless and shit. Think we can sell em all off and buy a new squad before August ends?

They're really not playing that drastically better than us, get a grip.

 

At my count, they should be 3-0 up. Except Bacunas free kick, have we had a shot? How many passes have we put together in their final third?

How is it Bournemouth can play such an effective brand of football based on quick passing and yet we can't even get a touch of the ball?

Wow a yellow card. There first of the Premier League. Only 35 minutes over due.

If Gestede is anything like ready, I'd have him on for Sinclair at half time - when you're not sure of your plan yet, bang it up to the big fella is a welcome idea.

It'd be a better idea to bring him on for Gabby. You're forgiven though. I'd almost forgotten he was on the pitch too.

In England, the closest I have to a second team is Everton. Doesn't mean I don't wanna smash em 100-0 every game, but if I had to pick out the positions at the end of the season, they would be 2nd.

We have lost Vlaar, rumours that Senderous and Baker may follow, maybe even Clark - so we need this kind of no-nonsense destroyer type player in the squad.

We'd need any kind of defender if we're losing Baker and Clark too. That'd leave us with Okore and Richards, who everyone is sure will be playing RB. So just Okore at CB.

Sherwood better get a move on if he's rebuilding our entire backline in one summer.

Whats to stop us going through all the medical and personal terms stuff and just saying "Actually, here's a cheque for (the original agreed fee). Deal with it."

Wouldn't Lorient doing a Delph be considered as breaching a verbal contract, to both us and Ayew?

Don't take my spotlight!!

Everytime I read something about him I get suspicious over the club name Lorient... Why the hell would we spend so much on a striker from Leyton Orient?!

Then I realise I'm an idiot and I've been programmed by the media to use one name where two is correct. Like Brangelina.

 

Maybe a little off-topic but does anyone have any idea how the press throughout Europe are responding to the newfound spending power of the Premier League?  Someone earlier pointed out how crazy it was that aside from the top European teams any club in the PL can pretty much outbid any other side on the continent.  Am I over-egging it or does it have shades of the dominion Real and Barca have over Spanish football?

 

How worried/pissed are they in Spain, Italy, France, Germany etc?  How about the fans?

 

 

They are probably pissing themselves laughing that players like Sterling are going for £50m.

I don't think they will be too worried.

 

Genuine question (slightly off topic) incoming.. Does the PL or FIFA get a percentage or cut in some way of any transfers?

You'd have thought with a business so obsessed with money they'd have invented some "5% Administration Fee" for the league or something.

 

 

 

Saw the bbc running an article today can Benteke play the Liverpool way ..what the **** is the Liverpool way

Carragher is likely upset as like most liverpool fans they were under the impression that the likes or Rues and Benzema should be dying to join them..

 

Its nearly as technical as the west ham way!

Or Spurs fans like good football...like no other teams fans do.

 

You hear that about Newcastle fans as well.

 

"They like their football up here"

"They like their strikers up here"

 

 

Newcastle like Strikers, Spurs like good football, Man City like money, Liverpool like young, hungry, cheap players (apparently)..

Villa like disappointment and beards. Are we the hipster team of the PL?
