I'd go Michael Oliver too. Martin Atkinson isn't too bad, he seems to have actually improved as he's got older. Nearly all of them will have some indelible stain next to them now though due to VAR controversies which really defeats the object as it was supposed to help them!

Stats wise not great but none were (as you'd probably expect). Think from what I saw most criticism was of the defence.

Old El?

We don't really have a great deal of pace up top though but chucking endless crosses into the box definitely isn't the most effective idea. I think we'll play quite an attractive style lots of movement in the midfield areas & moving the ball out to the wing-backs to stretch them. Think it could...

I wouldn't say much better. Definitely tried to play the more football but wasn't exactly easy on the eye. Should probably have had a penalty tbf. Cardiff actually had the better chances.

It did take me a minute to realise what they meant! 🤣

Just seen your Twitter message 👍🏻 Think Memberships sold was 3,500 & I'd guess majority of these included the ST option? So guess we're looking at around 5,000-5,500 for home games - less when on Sky. Obviously multiple people in a household is an obvious issue but still thought it might be...

Yep, dropped Burge last night... Still lost though 🤭

Can't believe you only had one like for this... Here have another.

Just seen they've started the Birmingham away game is our biggest selling away game to date with just shy of 3,400 sold. Wonder how that compares with other teams.

That's right, another that sold their ground to their owner to try & circumvent FFP https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/51022017

Now that they've dodged a bullet with the salary cap he'll probably get a new deal at Sunderland anyway.

Interesting. What's included for that £1m?

As with everything, the details aren't publicly available so people believe what suits their argument. Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't the "£1m to rent St Andrews" figure come from Jim White on Talksport? The guy barely knows football exists outside Premier League & SPL let alone know the...

Mr Robinson has had some very questionable financial practices as is well publicised. Orion is his offshore Trust fund in Guernsey.

Yes, but I think Willis would be even worse on his weaker side.

Spot on. Willis was frequently dominated by big, strong centre forwards - the likes of Smith, Moore, Deeney etc would have a field day with him. His use of the ball is poor too. Yes, Hyam's has been a bit erratic this season but levels above Willis.

Think they said they should arrive in the UK on 5th Feb & no update to say they didn't. Hopefully not much longer.

Absolutely. Was a fine servant & deserves our gratitude👏🏻 All those that pine for him back now are clouded by that somewhat though, he's miles off the standard required.

Brilliant that. What a guy.
