    Sunderland

    Holding a grudge for 35 years is understandable if there had been any cheating. At the worst there was a bit of gamesmanship. I was there in 1977. Simple facts 1) Sunderland would have stayed up if they had got a result at Goodison 2) No cheating took place. 2 teams cannot be made to play to...

    Keogh speaks...

    Agree he is player of the year but awful today and form on the slide for the previous 4 or 5 games.

    Keogh had a shocker today, embarrassed for him and his mistake for the penalty was a disaster. Open your eyes. He is a great bloke, an honest trier but a limited player. Our player of the season by a mile... But not today.

    Keogh speaks...

    Good lad but awful today and vastly overrated by our fans who love blood, sweat and tears. Not knocking him but the hero worship is tad embarrassing. Grown men chanting his name when he was sent off for a disastrous cock up that cost us any chance today. I like him but remain bemused by the fan...

    Do the players really care??????????

    Our players care as much as any other team's. They are 1) running on empty...emotionally and physically shattered, many have been playing with injuries. 2) stretched to the limits of their ability... Few are good enough for this division...the kids are not ready and the experienced players are...

    Last two games I want to see the youngsters.

    Sick and tired of people blaming the players, especially Clingan, who has been harshly criticised. 1) the squad is too small 2) there are not enough experienced players 3) the kids are very raw and not (yet) good enough. 4) our strikers are not goalscorers. These are facts. The squad, as a...

    It could have been different ?

    Agree. The criticism of Clingan has both baffled and angered me this season. Way too much has been expected of him. I, for one, think he has had lots of good games and few poor ones. I watch him and don't see what people want from him. Consider the facts: He has been surrounded by kids He has...

    what will Saturday bring

    Block 23, row AA, seat 20 will shout vile abuse at every player from 3 until 5. We have such lovely fans

    Guess the attendance - Milwall+Doncaster

    So we agree then? Midlanders, in my experience are moaners. That's not the same as apathetic, BTW. I know for a fact that the opportunity to moan will be welcomed by some. Lots of posters on gmk are gloating already. It doesn't mean they are not disappointed. Quite the reverse. They just have an...

    Guess the attendance - Milwall+Doncaster

    I didn't. I said they love to moan. You should sit in block 23, some start during the warm up. One guy screams abuse at Clingan when McSheff gives the ball away. He spent one game slagging off Gray all second half when he'd been subbed at half time. I could go on. Spoils the enjoyment of many...

    £50 and I could find one or two. Make me an offer.

    Guess the attendance - Milwall+Doncaster

    Yes, yes and yes. We all share the frustrations but some of us believe it is counter productive to vent that negativity. Footballers are pretty thick and ego driven. They need support.

    Billy Daniels handed squad number

    On the contrary I fully expect a Boys Own debut hat trick.
