In what way? Overall we were unlucky based on the second game, but to say that we outplayed them over two legs is just plain wrong.

But we didn't. Second leg we were unlucky, but first leg they did a job on us and were by far the better team.

Oop, here's the entitled prick who thinks his club the worst run in world football. Happy to chat to opposition fans, the other Sunderland fans that have rocked up here seem pretty decent and knowledgeable. You're just a brain-fart with verbal diarrhoea, however. The chances of anyone actually...

There was a deliberate attempt to move away from that style of football. Part of the reason we set up like that in the first place was because the bottom fell out of Simon Moore's form, so there was need to protect the goal more. Whether this was a good idea is moot, of course. We do miss...

We were never going to be able to replace those players, they had both significantly outgrown the level we're at. We did the most sensible thing; invest in a squad that was under contract to us, not half a team of loanees.

No, and Aberdeen and Palace probably felt the same way.

Leeds would be funny.

It's a case of needs must. Palace and Aberdeen couldn't go with an attacking gameplay against teams with much greater resources, and so stronger squads, than them. I suppose it's a complement that Sunderland played that way against us, but I imagine they had the 3-0 tonking on their minds...

Just think about Chris Wilder. It's cheering.

More than we did.

We didn't deserve to go up.

Is it usual for people to favour one testicle over the other?

He wasn't good enough, I agree with that, but I'm not sure a comment this bone-headed can be laughed at enough.

I mean, there may be some truth that he'd have to bide his time to become a first team regular, but likened to Best and Bigirimana? Give over.

He did a goal.

If he has a release clause, then that's irrelevant, isn't it? Every bid that meets that cost has to be accepted. Why would anyone offer more? They may do it to drive up personal demands, but not transfer fee.

I don't think anyone could sensibly argue that Sunderland weren't fortunate to progress. Not outrageously so, but still fortunate. Their performance at our place was very good; they did a job, but it was a performance that was looking for a draw. The victory only came because of a bad error...

Of course it wasn't. It was a normal Championship year. If you're in the play-offs, then you're good enough to win them. The season goes out the window once you're there; it's come out on top in three games. That's not beyond any team that gets that far.

Something I've noticed is that your emphatic pronouncements on who's going to win a football match invariably turn out to be wrong. On the basis of this, I now fully expect Sunderland to win. For purely pragmatic reasons, I want Sheffield United to not be in the division next season.
