It's the Hope...

Better than us on the pitch, better than us off the pitch, and better than us in the stands. AGAIN. That’s why it’s so tough to accept. They’ll mock us relentlessly and it’s 100% deserved. Clearer each week that we aren’t what we think we are as a club. Huge reality check.

@Scottwilsonecho You’re humble enough not to crow about the fact that you were the only one of the three on the @SkySportsPL Sunday supplement with @SkySports_Keith and @CraigHope_DM that predicted a Sunderland win.

Game time… #NUFC #SAFC

@BilbaoBlackCats Possibly. But give Brighton credit for game management

@ithics1 We were ok 1st half. 2nd half clueless going forward

Knew before game we'd struggle to get anything with starting 11. Another poor performance. 3 home defeats in a row. 1 win in 6 in league. 4 pts from 18. Ellborg with ball at his feet is a car crash. Diarra is overrated 30 million flop. Sadiki doesn't do enough. Brobbey lazy.

Someone should tell @footballontnt that their font graphics are pants

@NUFC7890 You have to be a Sunlund fan with all the slating you do.

You’re fucking joking me? Pushing him to the front after that performance he dished out today? Fucking hell. We need standards setting at this football club. This is fucking embarrassing. Even worse than when Howe was fist bumping the crowd after beating the worst spurs team in existence away. #NUFC

@Eddsyy Bad day.

Discuss #SAFC

Why is France playing in sky blue???

We have been made aware of a distressing image doing the rounds today, suggesting Tottenham have beaten us 3-1. This has clearly been photoshopped, and we will be taking this up with the relevant authorities. Even we'd beat Spurs...

@FulwelI Tha aged well. 😂😂

Wow that’s the worst lineup I’ve ever seen. Double figures tonight…

Objectively that is a great point, but I can’t help but feel massively cheated by the officiating. We should have had the most blatant penalty of the season, Adams should have been sent off for the tackle on Xhaka, Evanilson’s goal rolled down his arm, and Gillett found an extra five minutes in added time for absolutely no reason. And there were countless other moments during the game where you just couldn’t understand the thinking behind the decisions given. It wasn’t just Gillett, it was the VAR officials who had a say in almost every big moment in the game and got them all wrong. We’ll get yet more apologies from @FA_PGMOL (again) but it makes absolutely no difference to the result. Sunderland were brilliant this afternoon and I’m gutted that instead of that we’re talking about officiating again, but it is what it is. Well done, Lads. Even when everything went against you, you came away with what could end up being a great point. #SAFC

So Sunderland were robbed of a penalty for a blatant push in the back. The referee has since given multiple free kicks for *checks notes* the exact same foul...

Hahaha

@old_punky Burnley?

Trying not to be kneejerk, but I’ll be accused of it anyway so fuck it. When’s the last time we played well? Really well?Maybe 2nd half against Palace? Where’s the drive/tenacity gone? We’ve been poor now for weeks. Elephant in the room? RLB. He needs to stop being so stubborn.

Just the four players offside for the penalty. What is the point of VAR if they miss such obvious things in awarding decisions. #SAFC
