“After scoring six goals (all in the Conference League) in 16 first-team appearances for Chelsea Guiu arrives on a season’s loan. The talk in west London is that the former Barcelona forward could prove as good as Cole Palmer“

Yes, that comment has provoked a couple of sarcastic replies.“After scoring six goals (all in the Conference League) in 16 first-team appearances for Chelsea Guiu arrives on a season’s loan. The talk in west London is that the former Barcelona forward could prove as good as Cole Palmer“

Well she’s a supposed Sunderland fan who thinks we should share the stadium of the light with the mags when they build their new ground. Wouldn’t worry too much about what she has to say on our prospects one way or another if shes that out of touch
19th? Bloody tofu eating wokerati

Bit nonplussed how anyone can say one of Leeds, burnley or brentford are better than us. Honestly believe brentford will finish below us.
Couldn’t the mags use Gateshead stadium instead

I've read quite a few now, and they're all just rehashed cut and paste jobs of each other. Just lazy journalism off the scale. Not like that should surprise though, I suppose.

cuckoo land stuff. Imagine the ill will that would generate.
I think it's fair to comment that there's a risk our team won't gel. It's not a bad summary of the challenge ahead for us, putting bias to one side.

Yeah I don’t see what the issue is
It’s easy to make a save for Leeds and Brentford being better, Burnley I think are the 1 team it’s easy to say we’re ahead of as things stand

This. I have no issue with people thinking we're going to get relegated. In fact I think we will myself.
I do, however, struggle to understand those predictions where we're below one, or both, of the other promoted teams with little justification of why. Take this one on the BBC. He's got us finishing 19th, saying we've signed too many and won't integrate etc. But Leeds are 17th "because one promoted team has to stay up" and ""Elland Road might do it for them".

It's not that they really like their signings more then ours, that they have quality in their squad, love Farke etc. it's down to their f***ing stadium apparently...
All three promoted clubs come up with squads far below the quality needed to stay up, and look to buy that quality. If in your predictions one is above the others, and especially if one is above a PL team, I think you should really be justifying why you think that's the case.

Don't see much wrong with it. Near enough every member of our squad, as well as our manager, is un-tested at this level, it's going to be really difficult to stay up.

BBC Sport has us finishing 19th too.
Just going to make it sweeter when we prove the fuckers wrong.
