Did he? Hadn’t noticed. Arse.
Did he? Hadn’t noticed. Arse.He’s scored in both away games. You don’t go to games though so probably haven’t even noticed
How many sides that have played Sheffield United this season beat them in the corresponding games last season?By this logic any comparison is a waste of time.
Yeah that's why the Forest, a top club at the time bought him. I'm talking Stuart Pearce the England right back not the centre half.Pearce wasn't brilliant for the City tho'.
Borderline average.

No it isn’t - comparing us at home vs Wednesday last year to what it will be this year is a completely pointless endeavour.By this logic any comparison is a waste of time.

However comparing both say, ours and Bristol City’s starts (played similar sides) is a fair thing to do.
Bobby Gould said at the time he had asked his players if any of them knew a good right back. Pearce was recommended. Terry Venables wanted him. Can't remember if he was managing QPR or Spurs. Gould said he couldn't believe how good a player he was for a bloke who had been on a building site.Clough saw the potential & developed the player.
We’ve both played Derby and Hull.In what sense are you classing sides as similar?
Have to disagree with your Sunderland play off matches observation. Most third party observers thought we were not only the better side over two legs, but had the best chances and were unlucky as well.More that we got 9 points from these 4 games last season. So while the football has been great at times, results wise we’re behind on last year, which isn’t great.
However, if we draw against Norwich we’re back level and if we win we’re two points up. Next three will tell us a lot about whether we’ve improved on last year. I don’t think we came close to a top three side in any game last season under Lampard really. Beat a Sunderland team on the beach but didn’t really lay a glove on them when it mattered. I want to see us competing against the likes of Norwich Leicester and Birmingham before I decide we’ve moved up a level.
They were coasting as they couldn't achieve second spot by the time they played us?Sunderland were on the beach?!!
They went on to get promoted, did they cut their holiday short?!

The only player I remember taking Pearce to the cleaners for us was Kevin Gallacher. Incidentally, Gallacher was another player who came in and was brilliant right away. Apart from Grimes, I struggle to think of another player who has come in and has been really good from day one.
That was Andy Pearce I thinkYeah that's why the Forest, a top club at the time bought him. I'm talking Stuart Pearce the England right back not the centre half.
So it's got nothing to do with how the clubs played last season and it's got nothing to do with how they've played this season so far?Not sure how this disproves that any comparison is invalid if you take that line.

Wouldn't argue with your statement about being in a better place, but it's an indisputable fact that we're 4 points away from 12 points. Not close.We also were more likely to win the two games we have drawn than the opposition so all this stuff about 9pts last year from same 4 is silly, we are clearly in a better place and close to sitting on 12 PTS right now
Stuart Pearce has never played right back in his life. Unbelievable left back though.Yeah that's why the Forest, a top club at the time bought him. I'm talking Stuart Pearce the England right back not the centre half.
Over a whole season there's a 2 points a game target. That's a 92 point finish. We're not just close but spot on and having Middlesbrough with a very good start doesn't suddenly mean we're not close to our target. Our biggest rivals were supposed to be Sheffield United and the relegated sides. Would you have been happy with being 8 points above Sheffield United after just 4 games?Wouldn't argue with your statement about being in a better place, but it's an indisputable fact that we're 4 points away from 12 points.

I was merely questioning the notion that 8 points is close to 12. It just isn't.Over a whole season there's a 2 points a game target. That's a 92 point finish.

Our biggest rivals were supposed to be Sheffield United and the relegated sides. Would you have been happy with being 8 points above Sheffield United after just 4 games?
For working out how we're actually doing against our rivals you need to wait for about 10 games. Taking a snapshot of the table now is like saying Middlesbrough will stroll to the title and Sheffield United will finish bottom. But in reality neither will happen.
My bad, don't know where right back came from. Brain fart.Stuart Pearce has never played right back in his life. Unbelievable left back though.
So we're getting almost everything right. Just keep at it I suppose and good things will hopefully follow.-Most big chances created in the league
-Highest XG in the league
-4th lowest XG conceded
-Won the ball in the final third the most in the league
-Most touches in opposition box in the league
- 2nd highest possession in the league
- Most goals scored in the league

They must have worked on it in the international break.The next two games will be a good test, but I've not really seen much from other teams in the league for us to fear so far.
Nobody seems to be running away with it yet, unless Ipswich suddenly kick into gear after last night
