*~*~* Sunderland v Stoke match thread *~*~*

[Hetty]

Who was that struggling in the centre circle and went down, nee one rushed on to help?

 

[Honess10]

Defence without mepham this half will be interesting. Hume is getting rinsed on his side and Ballard on his own is always a liability

 

[Father Jack Hackett]

Big let off there, Alese again, bring Cirkin on at HT.

I wouldn’t. He’s bound to go over in these conditions and could be out for months

 

[Lockey]

If it was 7-2 nobody could complain. We've missed some gilt edged chances. Stoke are very threatening but have on had 2 or 3 good chances. We are by far the better team and playing well going forward apart from the finish.

 

[zidanny]

Jobe is a monster in midfield now like. He’s everywhere and makes it look so easy at times. Crazy to think he’s just a kid !!

 

[Bow5853]

Infuriating once again . . Absoloute crackers game

SIDDALL !! SIDDALL!!

[MackemTackem]

Unlucky lads, should be out of sight but keep the effort up in 2nd half and we should win this. Maybe a bit of luck on our part would be nice too.

 

[Sunderland06]

Was their goal offside?

 

[Veteran2]

Weather is horrific.

Same for both teams.

 

[Onlyfoolsrushin]

Siiiiddddaaallllll

 

[---Nemo---]

Trust us to be playing this lot in a gale.

 

[hypersonic]

Anyone's game this.

Could be 4-4. Amazing there weren't more goals.

Leeds showing how to hit the target

We are a million miles from being an automatic promotion team at the minute and are currently in relegation form.

 

[Windypants]

This is the sort of game where we'd end up losing, historically. We've had ample opportunity to be out of sight. Hope we win.

 

[cfg]

It’s a bloody lottery in this weather.

 

[nowtgoodeverhappens]

Barry Siddall !!

 

[Wansbeck Viking]

Watson is getting better every game. He looks a cracking player so far. He’s got no fear.
