For anyone who thinks the order of play is determined by quality of game, think again. Sheff Uniteds 3 all draw with Fulham came after Man Uniteds spawny one all draw with Brentford. Seems the Beeb’s impartiality doesn’t extend to showing unfashionable sides ahead of the big boys even if its...

Ok so he’s no Chuba, but then no one was going to be, but whisper it quietly , he’s not looking half bad. Considering he’s had to deal with a complete change in language and culture and injuries haven’t helped, double figures isn’t a bad return. Next season let’s hope he hits the ground running.

Terrible result and a terrible atmosphere yesterday but I can’t tell you how irritating that incessant drumming was. As we were playing worse and worse the RF drummer banged louder and louder to his band of 10 acolytes. It was Totally self indulgent and inappropriate for the misery of the second...

On balance Tom Glover has done OK between the sticks since Dieng has been out injured. He's made some blinding saves , but he's also been beaten too easily , particularly in recent games. He had a howler diving over the ball at the near post to give Sunderland a point at the Riverside and had a...

Absolutely clueless. We get round the back of the fullbacks easily but how many pullbacks miss everyone? Its criminal. I can’t work out whether our lack of strikers means no one has any instrict for a run or are our full backs and wingers so poor that no striker would get on the end of the awful...

I don’t think he’s the answer. I know he’s carrying an injury but he looks completely out of his depth whenever he comes on. Lacks pace, has a poor touch and doesn’t particularly hold the ball up well. I have a feeling he’s destined for a decent league 2 /League 1 career but I can’t see it being...

Apparently we’re being linked with this guy who is the Hearts striker. He has scored shed loads in the SPL including 28 last year and he is apparently available for £4 million. Does anyone know anything about him. My only concern would be whether he would be able to do it in the Champo. Gordon...

Played 12 Lost 8 Draw 4 Admittedly a couple of those were play off games , but in reality we’ve taken 4 points from the last 36. If you extrapolated that we’re on course to finish the season with around 15 points. Just shows how far we’ve fallen from the giddy heights of last April.

I know threads been done before, but he really does look like he couldn’t trap a bag of cement. That touch yesterday where he had a one on one was like a pub player. If he was half way decent he should have half a dozen goals by now but he just seems to lack any composure. TBF to Carrick if...

The Chuba-Archer-Ramsey attack was the best strike force we've had since Hasselbaink-Viduka-Yakubu. The pace, strength and finishing was a once in a generation combination and sadly we're now seeing how hard it is to replicate. I don't blame the management, how, as a champship team, do you...

I know the scoreline tells the tale , but to be fair they had two fluke ricochets that ended up perfectly as shooting chances and an OG off Lenihan. In the second half we created three golden opportunities which should certainly have resulted in a couple of goals. Isiaah blazing wide from...

It’s gotta be some kind of record. Last game of last season followed by 2 playoff games and now second game of the new season. I’m sick of the sight of them. Mind it would be nice to actually win the occasional one.

God No... Could happen, Norwich currently 7th , Boro 4th. If those Canaries sneak into sixth place and win their semi , there it is.... I still haven't got 'closure' from the last Play off final .. please God No.

Could be decisive. I expect us to beat Cardiff but then it’s Sheffield United and West Brom. If we could get say 7 points from these 3 games then the race for 2nd is really on. I can see the Blades game as being pivitol in terms of momentum.

Part of the joy of this Team is that there are no Prima Donnas with big price tags on their backs. The squad is a mix of Academy lads, Loanees and bargain purchases. In the past some of the players who we overpaid for seemed like they were doing us a favour being here. Assombalonga, Fletcher...

The amount of times Zack Steffen stands motionless as the ball flys past him is staggering. If I could be bothered I would make a montage of the goals we've conceded so far this season and you'd see an amazing amount where he stands rigid as if to say 'that was unsaveable ,theres no point...

I admit we were second best today, but even so games like this are won on margin calls and the truth is Sunderland got them both. Watching on telly there was no way that Dael Fry's tug was a Penalty. The pulling (what little there was) started at least 10 yards short of the penalty box and was a...

Can't find it on Sky - just wondering what it was? Looked to be quite a few spaces in the River end (New Holgate).

I'm going anyway, but it would be nice to have a look at our new striker. Is it too late to have his registration through?

I see some people have criticised England for not following through with the threat to wear a One Love armband at the WC, This is all getting way too political. Everyone knew the situation in the Middle East when we signed up for the competition, it can’t have been too big a surprise that the...
