Fair enough then, Mourinho should be QPR's next manager.

He's not good enough for that job.

Yet another performance today that leaves commentators and pundits alike saying that we, Sunderland, have at least shown enough in the second half or latter stages of a game to take some positives from the game.

How long do I need to keep hearing this before we come out of the blocks and start a game the way we end it? Today we slipped into the bottom three because, before we showed any promise at all, we had lost all three points.

Yeah, I watched your match and I know what you mean about losing the game before you started playing. Still, that kind of fight will come in handy in the games against lesser opposition. We're still basically in the same boat points/position wise, difference being as soon as we go down we never look like getting back into a match, we've not come from behind to win in a match in well over a year now. Similarly we always start slow and are supposed to be more of a second half side...

If that is what we have - fight, then **** are we gonna need it now! Roll on Tuesday and Reading. A good chance to perform for the whole 90 minutes and get a result.

How are Arsenal fans feeling today? I only saw the highlights of that game but on one hand it did look like they were the better team and so probably deserved the win, however had it not been for three rather poor ref decisions West Brom could have won that 1-0 or at least got a point.

Well said Mr. Bell-end.

Hey, it was against chelsea. A loss was to be expected really.

Arsenal's passing was fantastic, but the only goals were penalties. One of which was a no-contact dive.

Mojo · 12-09-2012, 09:09 AM

And the other involved a foul and what should have been a free kick given the other way beforehand?

Also, I know it was against Chelsea but Chelsea should be made to beat us rather than be gifted three points.

Go on, son.

Who to? I'm assuming not the fan?
