TOON run out 2-1 winners to extend their points lead at the top but it was a close run game at the end, nothing like the 6-0 drubbing they handed out at home in mid week.

Off to watch the Stoke v Swansea game and a quick look at the table shows how important a game this is to Sunderland.

I reckon Stoke will win but a Swansea victory would damage the mackems more.

Jimbuna · 11-01-16, 12:25 PM

Stoke ran out easy 3-1 winners meaning Sunderland are now eight points from safety.

Was totally expecting Man Utd to be doing better at this stage of the season:/

Jimbuna · 11-02-16, 08:04 AM

Looks like the 'Special One' isn't too happy with his lot atm

Yes, Sunderland are going down I'd say. They should have gone down in each of the last 5 or so seasons, but they've always found the escape route. perhaps they will again, but they need to start picking up points, and with the current lot I'm not sure how they'll do that. Moyes is doing his reputation no favors. He set the tone with some rather negative comments at the start of the season and that could not have helped.

United. I think we talked about it earlier in this thread around the start of the season. In my opinion United have serious balance issues. Who is the last established top-quality defender they've signed? Vidic?

Now name an established top-level attacker. Not so hard, that. They have little width, a suspect defense, no midfield enforcer and little creativity in the midfield. They are painful to watch, even for a neutral. Mourinho seems unable to establish any sort of identity or gameplan. He needs to figure it out and quick, as the season is slipping away, and they absolutely must qualify for the CL this year.

But you know what? Even with all of their on-field problems, if I were in charge at Old Trafford the first thing I would do is show Ed Woodward the door. I have no idea how this man continues in his post. There must be more to it than his ability to perform his duties. Like he has a lifetime contract or scandalous pictures of the Glazers or something. The mind truly boggles. That said, I enjoy their slide in to mediocrity, and long may it last.

Hello, and sorry for the delay! Always nice to have more Gooners around

TOON are home to Cardiff today.

Jimbuna · 11-06-16, 07:02 AM

TOON march on beating Cardiff 2-1 but incredibly.....Sunderland win away to Bournemouth 2-1 to get their first win of the season. Still anchored at the bottom though.

Threadfin · 11-07-16, 01:24 PM

Sunderland on the rise!

Anyone seen the top of the table? Liverpool put six past Watford. That's four goals or more in five of their 11 matches. Irrepressible!

Moonlight · 11-07-16, 03:26 PM

Well Newcastle won't be will they.

Jimbuna · 11-08-16, 06:29 AM

True that but I did predict prior to the season starting which of the two clubs would have the more exciting/enjoyable season.

Jimbuna · 11-20-16, 07:26 AM

TOON are away to Leeds this afternoon in what should prove to be a stern test of their promotion credentials.

Most importantly though, it is live on tv in an hour

Jimbuna · 11-21-16, 07:08 AM

Not a bad game and Leeds made worthy opponents and were arguably unlucky on occasion.

Final score 2-0 to the TOON and five points clear at the top.
