If Sissoko is this fabled "box to box" midfielder, then I'd expect him to be covering Debuchy & Santon's runs forward. Or Anita, as logically the midfielder who sits "deepest"(?) But on Saturdays evidence goals 1 & 3 for Hull were examples of nobody taking responsibility for abosoloutely fuckin anything. Nobody covers in this team it would appear. Fair enough Villa was a good performance but we have several surrenders last season to also take into consideration. The pattern on this isnt good iyam.

I dont care if we are having this one again but Debuchy isnt playing as a wingback, not playing beside only two centrebacks. He has nominally 2 players in front of him to play in the right hand channel. Nowt wrong with getting forward in that system, an overlapping fullback is hardly a new thing but youve got to pick and choose better than Debuchy does as his teamates aren't covering him. In a back 4 the first priority of a fullback is to defend. Same goes for Santon who's had twice as long to "learn the league". I hope they both prove me wrong tbh, theyre both plainly good footballers but all at sea positionally in the system most want to see the team play in.

We didnt get Lukaku in because we got Remy instead. We were only ever going to get one player in.

Yes, he was rather stretching the point. Not like him

Best player on the park for an hour on Satuarday iyam.

Weelll....a lot of "managers" are in reality just the coach of a bunch of players recruited by someone else nowadays. See Alan Pardew at NUFC It rings half true to me, look at Commoli at Spurs...his big mistake was appointing a coach who couldnt speak English,but the players he bought in were all at least decent, and in some cases brilliant. All it takes is the right coach...

Louise Taylor, the thinking mackem's crumpet: Di Canio can count himself unlucky after being asked to incorporate 14 summer signings made by Roberto De Fanti, the club's director of football. Of those recruits 13 were foreign and only five had previous Premier League experience. Their failure to communicate properly forfeited a series of goals – and points – at set pieces, with the former Swindon manager's willingness to highlight players' errors in public drawing widespread criticism. Di Canio was adamant that, given time, his bold attacking game plans – 4-2-4 was the favoured formation – would pay dividends and his strict new disciplinary regime would transform Sunderland's fortunes. Short disagreed but how the Italian must rue his board's failure to bow to repeated requests to sign Tom Huddlestone from Tottenham last month. Instead the powerful midfielder is shining at Hull. Di Canio's successor faces a considerable challenge as he endeavours to repair shattered morale and steer Sunderland clear of relegation waters.

Anyone know if its possible to use one of these gizmo's "in reverse"?... http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/?ie=UTF8&keywords=bluetooth+transmitter&tag=googhydr-21&index=aps&hvadid=28053572793&hvpos=1t1&hvexid=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=20799128021863823192&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=b&hvdev=c&ref=pd_sl_17kfaxmsd_b I've got an elderly amp with a brilliant sounding phono stage on it... if I were to plug one of the receiver devices into the headphone jack or "phono out" line am thinking it should be able to send a signal to a pair of bluetooth speakers?....or am I talking bollocks?...I understand that the speakers would need a power supply too, batteries or a usb charge etc...

He must've seriously pissed the yank off to get the sack after less than half a dozen games They must have someone lined up who's willing to work with what hes being left with....fuck knows who mind?....

This does make Ashley since relegation look like a fuckin genius tbh

Citeh beat manu 5-1 in 88 or something like that, fergie was still manager a quarter of a century later

Got sky on, theyre over hyping the manc derby as usual....is it fair to say, in the 21st century, that if your derby is awarded a 4pm Sunday kick off, then its really not much of a fuckin derby any more?....imagine us kicking off v the mackems in an hour, there would be fuckin murders

Tony Manual. Worked with my sister. He's probably 46-47 now. Not seen him in over 20 years. Great lad. Didnt know he was Stevie

Fuck me the ex pats are taking yesterday HARD!! Chez,Parky,Ken, that he/she viking freak... Wasnt it just another shite day at the office, par for the course at Ashley's NUFC?...

Fair one, and brought who on?

So wins against and Villa have wiped the memory of last season's last 3 home performances? Last season was shite, the window was shite, yet folk are still expecting us to win yesterday on the back of two reasonable performances? we're a work in progress at the very best, at worst we're a cobbled together side full of cheap deals who a mediocre manager has no chance of getting the best out of. Am fuckin mystified by the inability of some to take a broad view of whats going on at NUFC instead of knee jerking their way through the season. We surrenedered dozens of times last season in the same fashion as we did yesterday, what makes anyone think its going to be much different this season? We're passing it a bit more which is very encouraging for me,and we made very positive substitutions which you've singularly failed to acknowledge as they pretty much cost us a point. Marveux on for Cabaye would normally have you frothing at the slit but that was the straw that broke the camels back along with the defence going awol. Pardew fucked up like this all last season and people still expected us to win yesterday. Dont get it myself.

Think Ken's got a bad case of amnesia, he seems to have forgotten we're owned by Mike Ashley.

fuck it I can its only mid September

Think this Cisse talk is fuckin harsh. Short memories some folk and if you remember we didnt exactly go out and attract a replacement in the summer. Also did he get any sort of decent service from the midfield?...

You backed Hull?...every cloud and all that

fuck off man the mackems have just been twatted 3 nowt

You need some sleep mate What time is it out there??

Well hes always played like that. Brilliant passer though, thats why hes still playing in the top division.

Best passer on the park tbf to him. Always been huge and slow though He was as good as anyone for the first hour iyam.

My streams died. Cant say am that bothered
