Everton 2 - 2 Liverpool, 12:45 Aston Villa 2 - 0 Wigan, 15:00 Blackburn 2 - 3 Man City, 15:00 Man Utd 3 - 0 Norwich, 15:00 Sunderland 1 - 0 West Brom, 15:00 Wolverhampton 1 - 1 Newcastle, 15:00 Bolton 1 - 3 Chelsea, 13:30 Fulham 2 - 1 QPR, 15:00 Swansea 0 - 0 Stoke, 15:00 Tottenham 3 - 3 Arsenal, 16:00 Lots of high scoring predictions, which will probably mean a big fat 0 for me this week but oh well.

They play shit football. If I was a season ticket holder at the Britannia i'd be bored to tears watching that tepid shite week in/week out, but fair play, it's worked well for them. But what it does is give me hope that if an average-at-best team of thuggish bullies like Stoke City can elbow and foul their way into a cup final and Europe then someone like Sunderland can do it playing actual football. Fergie rested Rooney against Stoke, didn't he? If that's the case he's 99.9% certain to play against Liverpool. Massive game for both teams really, and a hard one to call because of how much it means.

You know what it is, we've actually been overtaken by Stoke. What a depressing thought, being overtaken by that awful, average team of ridiculously thuggish knobheads. But yes, I couldn't agree more on the whole afraid to take risks/lacking tactical awareness thing. I just don't get how an established, qualified manager can fail to spot basic faults that a stadium of 48,000 average joes can spot easily? It baffles me tbh. I'd honestly have loved to have gone and witnessed the Liverpool v Man Utd game first hand, i've still got a slim, slim slither of hope of getting a ticket thanks to "connections" at that end of the country but i'm not pinning my hopes on it really. If worse comes to worst I can always pub it up with my cousins/extended family lolz (Half of whom are reds, half of whom are blues - interesting times ahead).

Jake :o I can only say I am most humbled by your opinion, and thank you for your comments towards my little compilation.

I'll be entirely honest here mate, Bruce can go fuck himself. Whether that's the pints talking or whatever, he really can. He consistently fails to get the team motivated and continuously lets the fans down then comes up with shit excuses as to why we've lost. I've not heard his post-match interview but I dare say there'll be another lame reasoning as to why we were so appallingly poor tonight. He is just such an average, average manager. Why does he take so long to make substitutions? Why does he persist in playing the same, bland formation despite it being clear to everybody that it isn't working? Why does he apparently fail to motivate his players on a matchday? Why hasn't he bought a natural left back or left winger despite us being in dire need of one since 2008? Why doesn't he ever have a plan B? Why is his head so large and inflated? Endless questions, Roo. The thing with Bruce is that he's bought himself time. He won't be sacked unless we're bottom of the league and the Geordie cunt has got it so cushy that he won't be sacked. I've said before that he's very much a 6/10 manager but now he looks in danger of actually underperforming and putting us in serious danger of relegation. f***ing sick of everything at the minute like, West Brom next week then I get to escape for two weeks as i'm away at a wedding down in Liverpool. Would have loved to have gone to see Liverpool v Man United (As i'm down there for that match) but apparently it's sold out, bummer :(

Thanks Martin.

Can't think of a time recently when i've been more angry, more humilated than tonight. Second best to a League One side from first whistle tonight, it was absolutely disgusting. Nights like tonight just make me think, what's the point? Seriously, what is the point in me spending thousands of pounds to go and support my club when this is what i'm getting in return? Nights like tonight are far too fucking often for this club, i'm sick to the back teeth of the non-performances, the lack of effort from so-called "big name players", the utterly ridiculous way we allow shit players to score against us, the way we make embarressingly average sides look like world beaters, the way we allow abhorrently poor players like Leon fucking Barnett to score the easiest goals they'll ever score in their careers against us, the way we're humilated against League One (At best) teams. What the fuck do the players care? They'll pick up their £30k, £40k, £50k paychecks at the end of the week and think no more of it, but what about the fans who have to suffer the consequences? Absolutely sick to the back teeth of it, it's a far too regular thing at Sunderland and i'm fed up of pumping money into this club and having to endure woeful defeats like tonight. The lot of them need a good fucking kick up the arse, from the board down to the kit men, because it simply is not acceptable. And you know what the most sickening thing of all is? Like a total fucking idiot i'll be there on Saturday, cheering us on. Urgh...

Have people lost interest already? :(

Well, that was... unexpected :lol:

Urgh, first time in ages i'll be completely sober when watching Sunderland, and of course it would have to be the game when we're playing Stoke of all teams. I'm sure this will be a joyous experience.

11th! Get the fuck in :D So glad I took Gyan out of my team after the Swansea game.

Cheers MANIAC.

Thanks Grebo and CJ. I wasn't expecting any more comments on this after it had been buried on page 2 due to an avalanche of new charts, so I didn't bother checking for any. Hence the lateness of this reply :lol:

Love 'By Your Hand'. I was shamefully late downloading it but since i've had it it's been played practically non-stop. Very much excited to hear the rest of the album now.

I'm not familiar with St Vincent's other stuff but i'm intruiged having heard Cruel.

Loved what i've heard from this (Which, admittedly isn't very much). I really need to check out the whole thing.

Dear lord, we are shit. Long hard season ahead methinks.

Good to see you like the St Vincent track, you checked out Hex Girlfriend? Future no.1 methinks, I couldn't find an audio of it on YouTube otherwise I would have linked. Thanks for commenting, Mikey.
