This game going only one way now.

Sunderland took 5 points off us in Mancini's title winning season of course.

That's true, the 1-0 defeat over Xmas/New Year was due to a ridiculous offside winner, the guy was about 3 yards offside

 

[jimharri]

Very well worked goal, to fair. They've been the better side so far. This could end up a game too far for Sunderland.

 

[Norbert D]

Game should open up now.

 

[Deepest Blue]

Just noticed the other Bellingham isn't in the Madrid squad, bet he's at Wembley then, so there's a downside if Sunderland win.

Think he's having a shoulder op and 3 months out. Hope it's his wanking hand.

What's the clapping for? Sorry to ask as I don't have the sound on because it's $ly.

Fuck knows any more. Heard the bollocks about why it was a 15:01 kick off time. Wish they'd fuck off with it all. Can we just watch a game of football.

 

[paulchapo]

Good finish. Shame. Sunderland need to wake up.

......and very quickly!

 

[burning blue soul]

great finish but another pointless club going up,will be lucky to hit 20 points next season.

Sounds like you are manoeuvring for a closed premier league...

 

[Silva&Silva]

Should be doing better with that chance.

 

[jimharri]

That was a decent chance. Off the top of his forehead?

Someone has to battle Utd for that bottom place.

 

[willipp]

Sunderland were wank in the second leg against Cov and they are carrying that form right into this game so far. How then hell have they made it to the play offs.

The day will come when we will be asked to clap all game for the 90 supporters that died that week. Ridiculous.

 

[TinFoilHat]

Bastard.

No chance,can’t think of anything worse.

Don't mind the 1min delayed kick off as it isn't mid-game.

Sick of the clapping on a certain minute for something though, there isn't really a good way to bring it up as it's always when somebody has sadly passed away but we have a minute or 2 around Christmas every year to remember everybody gone. Wish they'd just stick to that.

That's what really pissed me off about Shearer's unprofessional and biased commentary in the Cup final. He kept banging on about how possession is irrelevant. Yes you tool, in a one off game that can be the case. But over the last 8 seasons Pep's possession game is the very reason we've dominated the Prem. Shearer pissed me off as much as our performance....

It's just a law of averages thing, really - if you look at every Premier League game where a team achieved 80%+ possession, they have failed to win on just 4 occasions.

Yes, the score is the most important stat. But the score is also the stat that can be most influenced by pure luck. Of the things you can control for as a team, possession is a pretty strong one.

 

[Norbert D]

Something kicking off in that corner of Sheff end ?

 

[jimharri]

Landed funny and dislocated his shoulder would be my guess.

Just popped it back into place. I've never had that misfortune, but I believe the pain when the shoulder is being "relocated" (?) is excruciating

Wasn’t it shown that Gaz Barry played the guy onside. Think they only got out of their half once all game
