So you have been the most negative poster for months, you now manage to quote perhaps one of the few positive comments you may have made and turn that into a negative comment, must be the sea air. Ps hope you did not miss last night as you said you would not be bothering going to the last games as you had enough.

Great performance and result, well done to all

So pleased you mentioned it I was getting concerned that it had not been posted yet

I will absolutely stunned if we win or lose tomorrow

Ours

Roberts is causing chaos in our defence

Both teams struggling with the conditions

Your are in luck something to be negative about

What was Roberts doing leaving his man

Having to listen to sunderjoke commentary thought they should have had 2 penalties, 1 for a blatant dive that should have been booked and the other for a ball blasted at him. Started well but just let them get back in the game

No sound on IPTV either, some might say that's a good thing, bit will probably listen to the Sunderland commentary

Not a clue, just trying oblige with a stream or maybe a cheap joke

Weston is not to far to travel

Don't disagree other sales will give a guide, but we don't know how much the club is really for sale at or what terms.

Sorry does not mean that, it's possible he has not had interest from buyers he is prepared to sell to as will not put the club at risk. I find it laughable that so many on here think they know how much the club is up for sell for or how much SL should sell for. SL is a self made billionaire, so by default a shrewd businessman who will have plenty of professional advisers and will know what price is realistic or how much a hit he needs to take if wants to unload

You would think after Mondays 5 - 1 hammering at home from Blackburn, the players will be up for it to regain some self respect, but if we get at them and maybe get a goal, you can see the fans turning and players self belief going

A couple of wins made no difference to me I will be renewing like I have every year for the last 40 years

I hope all those prior to the match shouting about they can't be bothered watching it or doing something else instead enjoyed what they did instead. Because they missed an excellent game and very good performance, to those who said yes but we were lucky, yes luck plays a part, but you chose to ignore the chances we also missed and a terrible ref who denied us possible 3 penalties. Not pretending everything is rosy, but encouraging after the recent drose.

Or in the real world Nige got a very good pay off and part of that agreement would be he is not able to.

Well as one of the biggest holiday get away weekends even if NP was here there would be lots of empty seats

How about, if prem clubs relegated feel they need a parachute payment to continue funding the club due to players contracts, they start the season with a points deduction, the bigger the PP the bigger the deduction on a sliding scale. This would encourage clubs to be prudent, but if they want to keep the prem players on high wages they will not just walk the league like they do now. Would need a bit of analysis to get the scale of deduction correct, but it could level up the championship, rather than at least 2 PP clubs going up every year

Have to disagree, £1.5m for a player not to have played 1st team football is significant, Latvia is just crazy, Mebude obviously no where near that level and had he have been he would not be effectively on trial for us.

Man city? They sold him for a significant fee

I suspect it was due to LM knowing him previously. But I don't see the problem, He was a very highly rated lad at Man City, who got a move to Belgium which did not work out (many young players have problems settling away from home in a foreign country.) We have him on loan with an option to buy, so cost us a bit in wages which allows us to see if he is a gem or not up to it, and if we decide he is not he goes back. Not even close to being our worse signing
