Cheers Reggie for giving Mayenda 4 minutes of game time.

Did this ref grow up a United fan? Jesus.

@JamesCopley_ Played really well. Need to take our chances. Should be 1-0 up at least. United are there for the taking.

Sunderland have been excellent and should be ahead, with Sadiki having two clear chances. Le Bris’ side dominated most of that without finding the breakthrough. Best half of football since the second half of the Newcastle game. Talbi and Le Fée unreal so far. Thoughts? #SAFC

@SunderlandAFC If we are going to throw silly lineups like this out there, just go full “on the beach” mode and play the kids who need some game time.

Ready for Man United! 👊 #SUNMUN

@vinny_brand I believe this is basically every Boro game this season. Create a billion chances but can’t finish for shit.

how the fuck are boro not winning about 20-0

@mangtheram @Capt_Fishpaste It really is, and by some margin too in my opinion.

@Capt_Fishpaste I’m 51, and Rogue One is the best Star Wars movie.

Revenge of the Sith is not just the best of the prequels, it is the best Star Wars movie period. I'm 46 and was brought up on the original trilogy.

@Royals Royals have won the Battle for Grass Creek, WY! 👏

FINAL: Royals 4, Mariners 1 #HEYHEYHEYHEY

@lufc_carajo @SunderlandAFC Cheers for the 4 points Pete. 🍻

@SunderlandAFC Dear Sunderland fans, this is a warning to your small club and low iq fanbase. 2nd season syndrome is coming for you. On xG you would be relegated by now. The data doesn’t lie- this is a 1 in a 1000 season, all luck. 0-5 home, then losing to wolves proves it. Gone next season. 👍

It ends level ⚖️ #WOLSUN

@RokerReport Mathematically yes. But no chance we get much from our last three. We are safe. Hell of a season. Mission accomplished. Europe ain’t happening and I’m ok with that. 🤷‍♂️

Can’t believe we are still in the mix after the last three results but we are. Everton and Chelsea games are massive really. Probably wishful thinking but we have to be focused whilst it’s possible…

@_toosb @Capt_Fishpaste Tbf they haven’t won in ages. And are closer to being mathematically safe now. Let them celebrate. 🤣🤣🤣

Fucking hell man, are they serious? 😂😂

@NUFC Doing this for home games now too? Christ almighty. 🤣

United 💪

@UnderTheLight73 And when we do Isidor would thrive.

@UnderTheLight73 We need to play more through the middle. I swear we still don’t do it enough, but have done more of it the last 4-5 matches and it gets us into better areas. Our wingers aren’t great at crossing but Le Fee and Xhaka offer so much more on through balls.

Game ruined by a silly decision from Ballard. We huffed and puffed but didn’t have enough quality. Very impressed with Isidor today #SAFC

@RockySAFC Draw after we went down to 10 was a decent result tbf.

It's unbelievable the reaction to that result. Not great admittedly but not warranting the reaction we're seeing * * Not just on here. #SAFC

@WTFSunlunPod Will we ever be able to defend the back post on corners/crosses?

🫤 FRUSTRATING? 🔴 Ballard red? 😡 Another set piece goal conceded ⏭️ Onto Man Utd Any questions for the pod? #SAFC

@WadeSAFC Soft maybe. But no reason on earth why Ballard should be grabbing him 45 yards away from goal and even risking anything at all. Just pointless.

"Why did Sunderland miss out on Europe?" "Dan Ballard touched someone's hair" I get the rule but it's soft as fuck. Players hair shouldn't be allowed down to his arse if you're going to send people off who go to grab a shirt and touch the hair.

@SunderlandAFC Back post on a set piece. Shocker.

Wolves equalise. 1-1.

@joel_gradwell Can argue with the rule. But they were 45 yards away from goal. Just no need to foul at all there let alone high up. Ballard can’t be doing that regardless. Just pointless and will likely cost us in this game and the next three really.

I actually understand the rule, IF someone has grabbed a fistful of hair and purposeful yanked you to the ground. But, EVERY defender holds the top of a strikers shirt when being backed into. But now if there's hair in the way, it's a red. It's also absolute bollocks.

Have we had an opponent go down to ten men against us this season other than the very end of the Bournemouth game?

@Capt_Fishpaste Not really. No reason to be grabbing up that high on players. It was stupid on Ballard’s part and he needs to do better.

This hair pulling red card rule is absolutely ridiculous.
