Well I managed to avoid the result till sunday morning. I have to be hones I thought we were poor, did sorenson even gets his hands dirty, I think cort only managed one chance in the whole game. I really couldn't see where our goal was going to come from. I hate to admit but sunderland looked quite a good side, perhaps we made them look that way since we were so poor.

Barton has to go, he no pace, he got skinned every time, his distribution is crap, he was outclassed by a very average player. Solano (supposedly wanted to play soooooooooooooo badly) he did he played terribly. Almost none existant at times. It seemed to me that we were chasing the whole afternoon.

We only stepped it up after they scored, what did Robson ever see in Cordone, how did luax2 disappear in a matter of matches?? why didn't hughes play, why didn't Griffin play? I should be happy that we didn't get beat, yet I feel the realization coming on that we are an average team at best. Having shearer wouldn't have made a difference since cort never saw the ball anyway.

You're being a bit harsh on young Arca, syme - he looks a pretty decent player to me. BR's in the press today saying we could have signed him but he couldn't come up with the brass!

Got to agree that we weren't very good, but we aren't very good - QED.

Arca is an average player? Haway, Credit where credit is due...

Personally I think he's a very good player....he's still got some way to go though, he controls the ball well and he crosses it well but he can't get past players....

And Barton doesn't count cos he shouldn't be a player!

Arca is an excellent player, but I can't understand why Griff wasn't on him from the start. Face it, without Lee we were powderpuff in midfield compared to the likes of Hutchinson and McCann and we must fix that. However in 2 games I've seen more rapport between Dabizas & O'Brien than with Hughes plus anyone. As for up front, Cort heading flick ons to the creaking Gallagher wasn't going to get anywhere.

The amazing thing is, for all our inadequacies, if we'd managed to beat City, Everton and Bradford (a) we'd be in a European place which is just mad. We didn't of course, but it just shows how this season has panned out amongst all the clubs in the PL.

alright he's a good player and our player is shite... happy now? I thought that lad who scored their goal was pretty good too. Was it just me or did we seem static up front, Cort didn't get much change all day. I thought Thome looked canny to mind.

Actually, I thought Thome looked, and is, a big donkey!

Just winding you up syme marra.
Hey though, hang on a minute - he is a bloody donkey!!!!

I'd just like to thank the sad makem that copied my original post on the RTG. You truly are a lonely desperate child.

Don't believe anything those filthy inbreds put on here, because they will only post it on the RTG so they can hide behind thier inferiority complex.

To the sad twat that posted it, I didn't mention that Barton was marking Arca, next time get your mother to read the post properly.
