[Brighton Sky Blue]

I think sunderland have made some good signings , away from the shite that other recently promoted sides have made they've had a proper go

Ultimately it’s only a good thing for new clubs to go up and stay up…just wish it weren’t them

English football in general could do with a few of the promoted teams staying up for once. The closed shop of the last couple of years has been horrendous.

 

[HadjiChippo]

Xhaka such a good signing for a promoted side

Congratulations but nothing spells celebrating a victory like going onto another teams forum that you aren't even in the same division as!!

Man City look fragile here against Wolves.

[Sick Boy]

Fair play to them. I’d rather see them up there than the likes of Burnley and Sheff Utd.

[Terry Gibson's perm]

Forest look lively.

 

[Evo1883]

Great free kick eze , totally powered through the keeper

 

[Evo1883]

If they dissallow this im at a loss with VAR

 

[Tommo1993]

Awful decision. Absolutely ridiculous.

Ridiculous. Like they're trying to suck the goals out of football.

 

[Evo1883]

Thats shocking sorry, fucking shocking

They have to be consistent. That will happen in most games with the pushing in the wall etc. Are they going to keep up?

 

[stupot07]

It's the right decision, the rules are if there are 3 or more defenders in the wall the opposition players must be 1 meter away from the wall and remain there until the ball is in play. When the ball is kicked, Guehi is in the wall.

 

[mark82]

Thats shocking sorry, fucking shocking

By the letter of the law, it's correct. It's not so much for the push on the player but the fact he ended up too close to the wall. Bit ridiculous considering the ball went nowhere near the wall, but rules are rules I suppose. Not sure it's a free kick to Chelsea though. Retake I could understand.

 

[mark82]

The thing that irks me is they actively go looking for reasons to disallow. They looked at offside, the push then proximity to the wall.

Yet in other games they won't go as far when they check.

 

[Tommo1993]

Will somebody please explain to me the point of a short goal kick, playing a 1-2 just for the keeper to hoof it anyway? We did it last Saturday and on Tuesday night too.

I guess they are trying to draw players in to go over them?

 

[Nick]

The challenge on grimes yesterday was worse than that and wasn't even a foul.

Booking in this game.

 

[mark82]

100%. And someone needs to break the status quo and stay up. Feel like they could do it.

 

[mark82]

Reece James got away with one a few minutes ago. Another foul there (although Eze made a lot of it). Needs to be careful.

 

[Nick]

James should be off there

 

[Tommo1993]

Surely looking at Chelsea’s starting position you wouldn’t bother anyway

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

The thing that irks me is they actively go looking for reasons to disallow. They looked at offside, the push then proximity to the wall.

But do you think they'd have been so rigourous had it been a team like Liverpool?

 

[Nick]

Surely a pen for a punch to the head?

 

[Tommo1993]

Andrews won’t be there for long will he…

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Just explained the VAR decision at half time. Good call by VAR in the end.

 

[Potbellypig]

100%. And someone needs to break the status quo and stay up. Feel like they could do it.

Absolutely. I watched most of the Sunderland v West Ham game yesterday, just flicking on the scores in between. No way I'd do that for Burnley, Sheff Utd, Norwich, Watford, etc etc. As much as they have some proper odd ball fans with the Jimmy Hill thing and going onto other teams forum after a win rather than celebrating, they make the PL a much better watch.

I do like the see the away fans in matches though, would rather they moved them back to where they were before (or somewhere else).

 

[Evo1883]

Chris wood is exactly the type of forward that would flourish here .. that profile
