defo, burstow or hemir. think either will go mental if score

tenpins has got a hangover

hang over the belt the fact hunt.

Very disappointing..i think i'll have a hangover tomorrow ...#sorrowsdrowned

silly sending off but just because down to 10 men at ht doesn't mean cant win ( or draw ) witness Spurs yesterday. Tactics in second half were strange and were fully exploited by Boro who were easily deserved winners.

I agree ....mind personnel outside of defensive players was very much not suited to digging in for a draw

that doesn't look like its at the ground, got a feeling edl may have been about on saturday afternoon, some sub-humans about

Yet another home game moved to a Saturday 12:30 kick off ....that leaves us with a grand total of THREE home games kicking off at 3pm on a Saturday from the start of the season to December 23rd ( which has a good chance of being moved anall with it being Coventry )...wish SKY would do one

Spoils the whole matchday experience for me.

Thing of the past, 3pm Saturday.

Only get worse too, with extra games on tv and new slots.

hopefully a win away to stoke on sat

We are poor. If you cant beat us, then you cant be very good either.

If Ekwah is not fit for Saturday then lump on Stoke....we're then paggered in central midfield with nobody with the positional awareness and intelligence to run the midfield.

M2...did you see that Northern Soul at the proms on the BBC last month....tremendous programme for me some cracking chanters on there

even in first half could see was struggling.

Our finishing was terrible but they could have scored four or five ....my biggest bug bear in football is if any of our players get a free header in the box and he heads it over the bar i'd like to fine him a months wages ..that's two games running with Aouchiche and Bellingham

Down ....down .....down

Good game for the neutral.

I love watching Dan Neil play football...until he lines up for a shot

more composure required

Twenty five shots on goal with only three on target is a damning statistic....even taking onto account some of them would have been blocked.

Seems like a defeat today ...said it plenty of times and did so again last week to lads who sit near us - the only thing i don't like about Mowbray is his substitutions when he hoys three on at once - it invariably makes us worse....today looked like a case of i'll throw plenty on and I HOPE they can sort it out with it looking as if there was no new plan of attack.

I know nothing happened in first ten minutes of second half but thought it was too early to hoy three on together....all throughout first half, especially when they had a full team i thought it was just a case of how many we'd score.

Still no striker to score ....Rusyn

totally agree re subs, changes team to much in one go.

now missing blallard and onien next sarrada

Aye...i doubt he'll play both new lads together at centre half in their first start...think he'll put either Hume or Cirkin in there with one of them.

It was only a matter of time before O'Nien gave a penalty away at a set piece...been lucky before.....how the hell was he not booked before he was

only seen Triantis once and id be very concerned if he started tbh. think he will bring Cirkin in, possibly Alese might be fit ?

Tracker horse....Hilltown.... trained by Seamus Mullins

Have been dying to back this horse over fences at a staying trip...made its chasing debut today and was given a lovely " experience " ride over a wholly inadequate trip, jumped well enough out the back and was duly outpaced as expected before staying on well up the Plumpton hill... starting from a basement mark of 86 will be very disappointed if this doesn't win a couple when stepping up to the 3m1f+ round here.

will keep an eye out

on another note re hosses , since when was november handicap run at gosforth ? nee doncaster this year.

In the words of Delboy...  you know it makes sense

Think ARC moved it last week due to some issue with the ground M2...obviously to one of their other courses asap, didn't want the BHA thinking about moving it elsewhere and losing out on the media rights money

Just the 820-mile round trip for some on Saturday.
Three points would be pleasing (maybe up to 5th)

at least the trains running ok this weekend ie no strikes

Our finishing lets us down again....last two away games we've had FOURTY NINE attempts with only eight on target and no goals to show for it ...that HAS to improve

Midfielders

Very disappointing the last two performances....for whatever reason we've lost our mojo.

Think it's pointless playing with a striker cos whoever we play up there they rarely get a pass anyways.

In other news what a disgusting price England are to win Euro 2024....was intending to back them to win a right lump but with the price consistently shortening i'll not be having as much on....first price i took in May this year was 9 now down to 4.6 ....#tooshort

Martin emmerson

He said on Saturday he couldn't pick the team he wanted because he was under instruction to play the new signings.

Tony Mowbray: an excellent fit for a young group of players at Sunderland, not so much for the ownership group. That much had become clear at the back end of last season when looking at alternatives. Felt uneasy ever since.

Disappointed from Durham....

doesnt matter who manager is if recruitment policy stays the same, ie buy/loan inexperienced strikers who might, just might come good.

Will the new manager be given the Pickford money to spend in the winda ?

Pickford money stashed, in deep pockets.

Pickford not only one with short arms unable to
reach into deep pockets.

Give him another go !

Phillip Buckingham

Sunderland is a club remodelling itself in the image of its ownership group; young, dynamic and modern. Sadly for Tony Mowbray, a 60-year-old from Middlesbrough never quite looked the long-term answer. Very harsh but strangely inevitable

And...

Mowbray can still leave with his reputation enhanced. Sunderland were a joy to watch at times and those wins v WBA, Preston and Luton at the back end of last season were a measure of the unity he’d built.

And...

Sunderland still haven’t had a manager in charge for more than two years since Steve Bruce

Hope yous don't mind me jumping on your fred; 9th in the table; not far off the top 6; where was he expected to be with the budget or lack of it he has had ? very strange decision imho

Not old school , me guess is will   go with/want  a  'progressive ' European coach, easier said than done, is it attractive ? could they work under 'restraints' ? ie no control over signings etc.

36s , was a bit higher just before ko

After the last two performances and the current upheaval at the club you have to think we're underpriced @ 2.34 for Saturday against West Brom....when i clicked on the market i expected closer to around 2.54
