I like him.

 

[Pacific]

going to take some getting used to actually watching a game live where there's always a question mark over any goal and some twat on a monitor trying to find something wrong

 

[Botchie]

Would be much better doing this match by match rather than one continuous thread.

 

[Almost Genius]

Awful
Probably

 

[Drexl]

That assistant ref any relation to Ben Greenhalgh?

Has Sunderland fans David Webb been promoted from the Championship. Noticed he got a Premier game at the end of last season.

But for var we’d be playing Charlton this weekend.

Ah yes, you're right. I've now totally changed my mind about it on the strength of one (1) example where it was used and the outcome was to our benefit. Absolutely brilliant system. I don't know why anybody has any doubts about it.

Wait until a last minute winner at St James is ruled out because Xhaka stood on Joelinton's toe in the build up.
