Ah, one of last nights oxymoron's..excitingly dull.

I'll agree with that 100%, but we've known that all season and we can't do much about it apart from follow in Brinners example and turn up at HQ and cause a stink. CWR: Are there resources available to Andy Thorn? Tim Fisher: Well..there's 2 or 3 injured players returning to fitness..so he's...

I thought it was 10 characters rather than 10 words? Anyway, we have a chance..whether it's realistic or not I dunno. It's against the odds alright, but then so was beating Champions Everton 4-1 that year...

er, what he said :D

21 where I am. There seemed to be a fair few who don't often go, possibly attracted by the low price and the promise that "we always beat Barnsley and score 4" ;)

I suppose one thing the 442 is give us a more solid defensive base and shape, but it does seem to be over-reliant on the hoof.

Yep, same where I am, Tesco stand. A lot of it was pretty dumb, too. I quite liked the guy who kept berating McSheffrey for being fouled :facepalm:

Reckon we might win at Bristol C, and wins in the last 2 home games will mean it goes to Southampton away with radios a-go-go as we wait to see what other results bring! If Saints just need a point, are up or are resting players for the play-offs, it could be an easier game than usual. Given...

That bloke has a serious problem and should seek psychological help ASAP! CWR really need to think twice about having him on every week, particularly as the first caller after a win, as it's the same old bollocks without fail. He just likes being blatantly contrary. My mate is Platt's biggest...

Not sure this 442 is particularly working, mind: not against teams that play 1 up, whether it be the usual 451/433 style or the deeper backs-to-the wall 9-1 Barnsley version. At least the 433 with Sheff pushed on as the 3rd forward at times gives us a chance to compete in numbers centrally, and...

Anything that winds up Sunderland fans, I guess ;)

Well when we were desperately struggling and looking doomed with virtually everyone else in the relegation battle winning, it really wasn't helpful to have "We Will Rise Again" being beamed from the scoreboard. It was like being in Berlin in '45...I guess they'll be playing "Downfall" next week...

Trust me, we weren't. There was only one side in it in the last 20 minutes. We never stopped trying but lacked quality in the final ball, but Barnsley put 10 men behind the ball and played for the draw. It was horrible to watch, but we deserved the win by virtue of possession and dominance, for...

I'd say saying the manager sounded pissed/always does/was stood with his arms behind his back all game are criticisms! Unless we think its fine for him to be pissed?! I'd be offended if you alleged I was doing my job half-cut..

I didn't, but add that to the catalogue. What I like about him at LB is the way he is quick enough to get it on his strong foot, whereas the likes of Stephen Wright always took about 5 minutes of working around the ball to get it off their left.. Sw88-whatever he was taking today, it was in...

What was he meant to do? Bring on one of our 3 unfit sub options? And Nick-I'm sorry, I read 3 or 4 disparaging comments about AT?

He was one of our better players. He made 2 fantastic interceptions in the last 5 minutes, particularly the one on the left byline where he swooped in front of the Barnsley man to take the ball when he was 3 yards behind him when the ball was played. His other one was at the CB position and...

Jesus, we win and you hammer him too? What fantastic supporters this club has.

Yes, he said it in a very enigmatic, innuendo laden manner. I'm amazed that hasn't attracted more attention. It's the only really new bit of information: if there is a line worthy of extra analysis in the last 36 hours, it's this one!

I have a Satanic number of "likes". If I retire my account now, do I go straight to hell? Or am I already there, given the season we're having?
