What are the chances Sunderland will serve up a goal like that for us?

What are the chances Sunderland will serve up a goal like that for us?

With TITus Bramble in a team anything can happen

 

[jimharri]

Titus fucking Bramble. It figures.

What are the chances Sunderland will serve up a goal like that for us?

Adam Johnson is a certainty.

Titus Shambles at it again.

Christ, Sunderland are a poor side. Thought MO'N would've worked his magic by now but I spose when you've still gotta rely on the likes of Tightarse Bramble & fookin Cattermole to help you, you've no chance really....

 

[LoveCity]

Their defence will be watertight against us, all ten of their defenders will give 110% and if all goes according to the usual script like Liverpool and Stoke have, they will score a stuffy goal (or penalty) and leave us to scramble for an equaliser.

I listened to today's match on Absolute Radio. Commentator and summariser (think it was David Fairclough) said it was a blatant dive and a disgraceful decision to award a pen.

I had hoped Fergie would've clamped down on this, after his comments towards the end of last season

"Sir Alex Ferguson speaks to Man Utd's Ashley Young about diving 20 April 12 10:42

Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson says he has spoken to Ashley Young after allegations of diving were levelled at the winger"

but obviously not Rooney even "won" a penalty by diving in a pre-season friendly ffs..

Needs to be stopped, and soon. Nobody likes cheating and no referee likes being made to look a mug. Apart from the damage diving causes to a players, and a clubs, reputation eventually I'm sure it will come back to bite them on the arse....

You act like Fergie puts an end to all diving at the club yet there is a precedence of divers at Old Trafford, including Ronaldo and Nani. Now Young and Welbeck have been at it, Fergie leaking to the media that he'll "have a word with them" sounds like PR to me, I think diving is part of the culture at United and wins you loads of penalties and dodgy decisions every season.

Not sure how you take that from my comments? Last season was the first time, to my knowledge, that Ferguson has even admitted that any Utd players dive. Whatever his reasons for that admission - PR, being shamed into it or a genuine belief that ir needed to be stopped - I'd hoped he'd kept his word and spoken to players to try and stop diving. Welbeck's (and Rooney's pre-season) actions show that hasn't happened but it does need to be stopped, and soon.

That was the only point I made.

Just seen the 'handshake' gate. Noticed Cashley did a huge gob when Anton snubbed him. Classy bellend that he is.
