So his point is if Sunderland was a top side more people would turn up to watch? What an astute observation. So his dream is that they average a bit less than we currently do, and that supposedly makes them bigger than Arsenal, Chelsea, and Man City? Imagine. Let’s be honest, Sunderland is a total dump, imagine if the locals didn’t molest seagulls, defecated in actual toilets, didn’t support and make excuses for sex offenders, got actual jobs so they could contribute something to the country, stopped pushing staffys around in prams, and had any type of culture that wasn’t based on just abusing people. Imagine, it would maybe be slightly better than Rotherham.

Chippa is brilliant like

Btw it’s almost guaranteed De Zerbi is wiping his hand on his knee after the scruff

Aye, incredibly harsh on Bruce as you’d think he’s done enough at this point he deserves an honorary spot despite not having a job

The Shearer volley against Villa was quality as well, the pace he put on the ball was mental. The Bruno diving header against Leicester was a mental one in similar terms to the Bellamy v Feyenoord, felt like a massive momentum shift for the club and we’ve felt like a force since (I know we’d won games at the time but just the manner of that one)

David Moyes and Thomas Frank should swap spots imo.

That’s brilliant, love that he gives Vincent Kompany a little pat on the head for raising his game to help Ireland, even admits Kompany was a decent player at the time.

I love the journalists now saying it might take Chelsea 2 years to get back into the CL, have they considered the players they’ve blown their wad on might be flops in this league? Paying £100m for a player with 28 appearances in the Ukrainian league doesn’t mean he’s guaranteed to be a good player ffs.

It’s nice to get a mention as a possibility for the award tbf

I still think he’d be a good option for us, especially if we could take advantage of Barcelona and get him for a discount on what they paid. I’m still really hoping we get Diaby mind.

Aye a lot of our fans are being absurd about it. They’re acting like a chance of something happening means it will, of course Liverpool winning every game while we lose all our games can happen but the chances are fucking tiny. My brother in law has been doing my fucking head in about it, anytime Liverpool, Brighton, whoever win he messages saying they’re fucking flying ignoring that we’ve won 8 out of 9, I think we’ve bettered Liverpool by 7 points over the last 9 games man . We’ve just won 6-1, 4-1, and 3-1 in a week why are people acting like we’re about to stumble?

Penalties hit down the middle are fucking stupid btw. Pickford doing the typical amount of homework on the opposition and being lauded for it is typical of the media as well.

It’s going to be a fucking joke when he inevitably doesn’t get manager of the year.

I love that they just ignore all facts because, like Alex says, he kept them up when we went down (by 1 point iirc). They were always going down, he was never getting them top 10. He had a big budget at Everton and completely fucking squandered it, he’s had chance after chance in football and has always been exactly what his club performances have shown - yet the mackems just make up he’s actually some brilliant manager who just needs some perfect scenario to prove it . Meanwhile Eddie Howe is shite and what he’s done over his career is a fluke.

Aye, as ewerk mentions it’s very similar to the mackems. The atmosphere at both clubs is so fucking toxic their players dread playing for them, it’s pretty fucking clear - you just have to look at Gordon’s celebrations after we brushed them aside and the way former mackem players act towards them. Utterly fucking vile and shite fan bases which are huge issues for their respective clubs, largely driven by their delusion that they’re both more impactful and important clubs than they are - the reality is both sides are just also rans. Everton will figure it out when they’re watching Steve Clardige do the championship highlights and the PL just moves on without them.

Aye, he’s the biggest cunt about and it’s not even close. He fell to the floor and was screaming on saying they were hard done by after his striker elbowed a player in the mouth, then pulled a hamstring trying to give abuse. He’s constantly abusing the opposition bench/coaches, and journalists but if the result goes his way he’s Mr friendly, total two faced prick of a bloke.

Klopps a complete prick, see him falling to the ground acting like Salah elbowing Davies wasn’t a foul, then Davies had to leave the pitch for treatment as his lip was pissing blood.

Absolutely mental that was only given a yellow, then he goes on to score the winner.

We’ve won 8 of our last 9 games, we will be massively up for the games against Brighton and Arsenal, plus we play a few of the bottom half scrubs (Leicester, Chelsea, and Leeds). If you think Liverpool will win every game why not us?

Fucking 7 pages about a made up story about us, the thread starter even has FTM in his name. They’re not obsessed mind.

I love how they were banging on about how we abandoned our club, citing a weekday away match attendance as evidence, meanwhile in the two seasons they’ve really been shit they’ve blockaded their own players cars and abused them, and had them finish the game in front of only the away fans last night. Aye lads your support of the club is outstanding . I wonder if they’ll keep shooting fireworks around the away buses while in the championship. Hopefully the incoming points docking for FFP violations is applied next season as well.

Aye, he’s a complete fucking disgrace tbh.

Scouse mackem cunts. They were fucking vile all game, trying to injure our players constantly with Marriner doing fuck all. Absolute fucking stone wall penalty for the foul on Longstaff somehow not called. As poor as we were first half once Almiron and Targett come off we were a different side, Isak is absolutely brilliant.

They’ve all been fantastic, and all deserve credit but it’s underpinned by Howe and his staffs coaching. If we take that and apply it to players who have more ability like Rice or Maddison that’s where the difference will be. Rice can be just as versatile as Longstaff for example, he’s also just better in pretty much every area - that’s how we improve.
