RLB will be gone before next season

Not open for further replies.

I've been put off football and in particular Sunderland this past couple of months because of it and it's not one in particular here or anywhere just the vibe .I'm not enjoying the match days anymore it used to be fun.

Im glad it's not my favourite sport 🤣

I live abroad and love a bit of chat with local lads as it reminds me of home but recently on here, a place I’ve been on for years and years and come to see stuff that reminds me of home, is rammed with bellends, aggressive arseholes reporting people, geniuses who know everything that must happen for the club and posters called chops who are f***ing unbearable to everyone.

Meanwhile posters like fletch are gone and people jump on a proper lads fan like vauxie because they can’t take a continuous none offensive joke.

It’s a real shame to be honest marra
 
Nearly 600 replies and every one missing the point. RLB does not have the gravitas or ability to be a leader of men.

In any industry or profession the workforce marches to the drum of the leader and thats what produces results.

There has to be both respect and fear of reprimand for the workforce to perform at optimum levels.

The fact that Elborg and O9 were laughing at the mess of a back pass and 09 continued to banter with the crowd despite trailing to a bottom tier bound opposition is demonstrative of lack of fear or respect.

Nordis reaction to being substituted recently is further evidence of the same.

Diarra's focus on berating supporters rather than being fully focussed on on overturning the defecit is further evidence of lack of respect.

Rigg lacklustre peeformances is further evidence of mis-management.

Ghisolfi/KLD were responsible for Granit and Roefs without them we would be where Wolves are.

The " professor" is a bluffer we got lucky this season and without a fit Xhaka to manage on the pitch we will struggle next season .

BTW. the reason i took my kids to Australia 20 years ago is because i envisaged cultural decline as you are currently experiencing.

Just call me a " Visionary"
In all my years I’ve never read such a complete and utter load of bollocks

The good uns have a enough and go eventually mate. I understand a poor performance can be annoying/disappointing but there's wars and shit going on..it's not that important. The derby is next week and it sums the pettiness of football up for me. Most of us have relatives, family or mates who are from or support Newcastle it doesn't matter. I'm more pro Sunderland fans having a great time at the match regardless

It's not up to me to tell people how to live their lives though;)

We all go through tough times and It's always gives you perspective..oh and happy weekend everyone :lol:

Having the best season we’ve seen since Reidy and the moaning, pissing and shite “banter” is unbearable now.

I know Sunderland is in the blood, it pisses me off every loss and spoils my weekend thousands of miles away but this place used to be a bit of refuge for me, now it’s full of unfunny ***** and arseholes

Sometimes it’s the only way for me to follow the match and fuck me it’s poison. Mods could easily bin off loads of twats but instead persist in keeping them around for no reason.

Enway Harry lad, hope you’re having a canny Friday. Still Thursday for me like: putting the lad down tonight was brutal.
 
The match thread is absolutely unbearable now. Some posters go on there almost exclusively to rant and complain, sometimes before we've even kicked a ball :lol:

Hell on when just the team sheet is announced, even if it's just the paper it's printed on 🤣

Sorry to hear that mate sounds a tough time. Yeah we all go through challenges and I'm bloody looking forward to this weekend like :lol: . Didn't know you were abroad ha

Aye pal. Been away from home from years. Na the boy was excited by watching the hulk with his dad while his ma is away. Shouldn’t have showed it to him and now he’s obsessed
 
I could analyse that but I think calling it out as BS probably does the job just as well
You must be bored that we have a manager for 18 months and we are not in a promotion or relegation scrap.
Just go get eaten by a shark or something please, as your views are disingenuous and typical of a fan who only watches matches through media,
I hope your kids were taught to be humble respectful and rational.
😂😂😂
 
You mean with our possesion in 30 percent range and 3 SOT in each game and thats with Xhaka playing.

When he does not play we average 0.58 PPG which is relegation form
‘Relegation form’ you do know we are on 40 points don’t you?

He’s set us up to be hard ti beat and counter attacking, it’s very shrewd to do so as a newly promoted side, staying up the first few seasons is hard work, he’s doing a great job

A fan like you would definitely be taken in by a Russel Martin type chancer, it’s what you’d deserve
 
Without Xhaka we would be where Burnley are
To me that is a damning indictment on RLB

Thats exactly correct. If he is not on the pitch they have no tactics as a unit. The defense, midfield and strikers do not function as a unified team as a whole if Xhaka is not conducting the play.

If you look at our XG its nothing short of abysmal and we are where we are despite RLB not because of him.

It looks like the players are no longer playing for him and yes we all shoulf be grateful we have survived in the Premier League but its more by good fortune than good management.


Who Has The Worst xGA?
Fans of Sunderland AFC will demand better defending in the future, with 1.66 xGA (Goals Expected Against). The worst of all teams in the Premier League this season.

The players aren’t playing for him. Wow. Every single one of your posts in this thread are utterly clueless and completely highlight how living abroad and not in the area going to the matches can make you lose complete touch of the reality of what’s happening. I mean this in the nicest possible way but football clearly isn’t for you, you’re just pretending to like it cause you think it makes you look cool or will help you fit in with others. I’ve never read so much drivel about a certain topic in my entire life.
