🕷️

@Capt_Fishpaste Agreed, he did really well linking up with Rigg down that right hand side and made those 2 goals. Really positive substitutions from Regis today too! 1 to go 🙌🏻

Well that was fun. Brilliant stuff from #SAFC Diarra changed the game with those brilliant, powerful runs down the inside right channel. Riggy used them masterfully too.

Diarra faced some criticism recently and has been in poor form but his running was crucial in scoring those two goals. O’Nien was fantastic again and that save from Roefs 😮‍💨❤️🤍 #SAFC #Sunderland

What a second half! Who would’ve thought Europe would still be a possibility?! Great goal from Brobbey, fantastic to see Regis being positive with the substitutions and Isidor getting on the scoresheet too. Big last game at home next week. Ha’Way the lads! #SAFC #Sunderland

The greatest crossover of all time. #SAFC

This angle...WOW PABLO IS BEING MANHANDLED BY TWO ARSENAL PLAYERS AND LITERALLY LOSES BALANCE BECAUSE OF THIS RICE DRAGS MAVROPANOS INTO THE GOAL AFTER TRYING TO BEAR HUG SUMMERVILLE TODIBO IS RECEIVING WAIST LOVE IT'S AN ABSOLUTE FARCE I WONT GET OVER

Really looking forward to the last few games, I reckon we can pick up a few more points yet. A chance on Saturday to put the last home performance against Forrest behind us. #SAFC #Sunderland

@Footballtweet Would like to see some of this from Arokodare when someone accidentally touches his hair 🤷‍♂️

When Frank Lampard deliberately downplayed Cristiano Ronaldo's tackle on him to prevent the Portuguese star from receiving a second yellow card. They don't make footballers like that anymore. 👏

“Their striker is quality on the ball, get tight and don’t let him get turned!” “This striker today is rapid lads, drop off a bit so he can’t run in behind” “The striker today has got long hair lads, don’t go anywhere near him incase you touch his hair” #SAFC #Sunderland #EPL

Not to be all ‘Utter Woke Nonsense’ but there has to be a rule that mandates players have their hair tied up if it’s to go below the neckline of their shirt. Understand why the rule is there but Ballard has clearly just gone to hold Tolu’s shirt and his hair has got in the way.

@hartoft77 It’s ridiculous, both occasions it was more the players hair getting in the way than intentional hair pulls. Agree, they should have to tie it up so it’s out of the way. If the players hair wasn’t so long, that’s just a normal tussle and the game goes on unspoiled.

@DeanDonkin I'm with you Deano. They should be made to the their hair up if it's that long. Keane got sent off for the same offence on the same player. I hope the club appeal

Ridiculous decision to give Ballard a red card for that! Never an intentional hair pull. He’s clearly jostling with him and as his hair is so long it’s inadvertently got caught in Ballard hand. #SAFC #Sunderland

Attempting to head butt another player = not violent conduct. Someone’s long hair accidentally getting tangled in your hand = violent conduct 🥴 make it make sense! #SAFC #Sunderland #EPL

We used to have a proper sport and now we call touching someone's hair 'violent conduct.' #SAFC

@Philip_RJ89 Have to disagree, we love Brobbey cause of how strong and aggressive he is in his tussles with defenders. It’s the same for Ballard he’s just tussling with the striker and the strikers hair has gotten in the way, never an intentional hair pull. Should have to tie long hair up

Sorry, but that’s absolutely fucking ridiculous from Ballard. Of all the things to get sent off for, pulling another player’s hair is right down there. Grown adults and highly-paid footballers behaving like kids in a playground. #SAFC

What a half of football! Hopefully 2 of the best teams in the champions league playing expansive, exciting, attacking football will filter down & we’ll see a shift from the sit in, low block, centre halves at fullback, safe wingers who play it inside style of football. #PSGBAY

This match just shows everything wrong with football rn but in a good way. All the wingers are looking to take on their fullbacks without worrying that they're gonna lose the ball. Midfielders and defenders are not scared to play forward passes. THIS IS FOOTBALL. #PSGBAY

Bad day at the office last night! I still can’t my head around why Le Bris is so against making substitutions?! We’re 4-0 down at home, shake things up, give players a run out… What must Talbi, Mayenda and Geertruida be thinking, definitely deserve more game time #SAFC

@RedAndWhite2017 Such a shame to hear especially with the timing of the @bizzofsport podcast where Tom Burwell has said all of the right things about the club staying committed to the core fan base. Hopefully the club recognise and rectify this issue #SAFC youtu.be/p7wW0pGFCMg?si…

Diarra has got to score there man…. 😩#SAFC
