@Jonathanlufc64 @LUFCDATA Im sure leeds have never time wasted or ‘cheated’ in a game of football before 🤣

@tazzlor___ @LUFCDATA You are right, we saved our worst performance of the season for tonight and with your constant time wasting and cheating we were never going to score.

Some ⏱️ from tonight: Actual Playing Time: 50:49 Total Time Allocated: 106:09 VAR checks: 05:54 Game Stoppages: 105 Ball Longest In-Play: 02:01 Total Additional Time Allocated: 16:09 Total Additional Time Ball In-Play: 08:56 Leeds’ stoppages: 23:14 Sunderland’s stoppages: 31:17

@ProudPeacock123 Interestingly also our easiest away game of the season so far you didn’t look like scoring at any point 🤣

Sunderland are pathetic, time wasting from the 20th minute, tactical time out by keeper faking injury, diving for free kicks, hand on the chest goes down holding face, more time wasting. Worst away team I’ve seen at Elland Rd so far. #lufc #mot

@tino_santino @EthanOsafc and yet it’s March and they haven’t been above us at any point this season

@EthanOsafc Still scored 8 more goals than us overall which is a lot.. fixing a defence is easier than a team who cant score..

why r our fans going on like Leeds r Barcelona ffs

@GoldyWMS Huge mentality shift since xhaka got injured. I doubt they’d ever fully admit or may not even fully realise it themselves but it feels like the players and even le bris don’t believe we’re good enough to get results without him

I thought #SAFC played with a fear I’ve not seen all season at home. As soon as Liverpool scored, they relaxed and started to play a bit, almost like a weight had been lifted. The crowd could sense it all too, really odd.

The 22M+ people who saw this tweet are missing the real story here. This research is from 2019. Dr. Eva Ramón Gallegos at Mexico’s National Polytechnic Institute published these results six years ago. It went viral then too. Salma Hayek posted about it on Instagram. ABC News ran a fact check. It resurfaced in January 2025 across Mexican media. And now it’s recycling through your feed again as “BREAKING” with 22 million views, because an engagement account slapped a siren emoji on six-year-old science. The actual study treated 29 women in Mexico City using photodynamic therapy, a technique where you apply a light-sensitive chemical to the cervix, wait four hours, then hit it with a laser. HPV cleared in 100% of patients who had the virus without lesions. In patients with both HPV and premalignant lesions, it cleared in 64.3%. Those numbers are real and published in peer-reviewed journals. Here’s what 22 million people aren’t asking: why hasn’t this scaled in six years? Three reasons. First, the sample size. Twenty-nine women is a pilot study. The FDA requires thousands of patients across multiple sites before approving a therapy. Gallegos ran earlier studies on 420 women in Oaxaca and Veracruz with similar clearance rates, but nobody has funded the Phase III trials needed to move this toward approval. Second, PDT has a physics limitation. The light that activates the drug can only penetrate about one centimeter of tissue. That means it works on surface-level cervical HPV, but the virus also hides deeper in tissue and in other parts of the body. The National Cancer Institute flagged this exact constraint years ago. You can clear what you can see. You can’t guarantee you’ve cleared what you can’t. Third, 50% of high-risk HPV infections clear on their own within one to two years without any treatment. A 100% clearance rate in 29 patients with no lesions, measured at six months, sits in a window where spontaneous clearance is already happening. Without a proper control group, which this study lacked, you can’t isolate how much the therapy did versus what the immune system would have done anyway. A separate Chinese study in 2024 randomized 60 patients and found PDT hit 100% HPV clearance at six months versus conventional treatment. That’s more rigorous. Multiple research groups worldwide are now publishing PDT results for cervical HPV. The science is real and progressing. The gap between “promising pilot results in 29 women” and “successfully eliminates HPV” is about a decade of clinical trials and a few hundred million dollars in funding. Gallegos has been doing this work for 20 years. The bottleneck was never the science. It’s that nobody writes the check for Phase III trials on a non-patentable therapy that competes with a multibillion-dollar vaccine market. That’s the actual story worth 22 million views.

@ste_lew1s @SAFCCR Because people seemingly can’t comprehend that you can criticise or even just not be 100% happy with every single thing the club does and still think overall that they’ve done a fantastic job since they arrived

@SAFCCR That’s true as well. I don’t know everyone’s getting so upset for saying it’s frustrating though. Hopefully we pull something out the bag

Using Oscar Bobb was a bad example because we don’t buy premier league players. We get little diamonds from abroad for a lot less. KLD and the staff have done a fantastic job however, we are allowed to be disappointed that after his words, this is our window.

@Capt_Fishpaste Fairly sure fabrizio said we were willing to match the 35 million for Brendan Johnson so not sure that’s the best example

If you want to know why #SAFC are reluctant to do business in January, look no further than £85m for Jorgen Strand Larsen and Brendan Johnson. Good players, but not great value.

@SafcDom99 I think a big part of the frustration is kyril said before Everton at home if we were in the top 10 and had a realistic chance of a high finish in January we’d have a window to reflect that ie something along those lines and so far that hasn’t been the case at all

@tazzlor___ I don't disagree with any of that, defensively solidity is how you stop us, I expect us to focus on the creative side next season

I’m now seeing people blame our transfer business hahaha, dear me

@SafcDom99 So we either need to get back to that defensive solidity or we need to sign some quality in the forward areas so we can improve offensively because the current lot especially the wide players aren’t cutting it at this level

@SafcDom99 We haven’t been good going forward all season the data and what we watch with our eyes tells us that. The reason we’ve been so good is we’ve been excellent defensively conceding very little. Over the last month or so that defensive solidity has gone particularly away from home

@Capt_Fishpaste I can’t remember the exact quotes but did kyril not say something along the lines of if we’re in the top 10 and have a chance of europe we’ll have a January window to reflect that. I think they do understand the magnitude of the opportunity we’ve got

@tazzlor___ I'm not sure the club think that way tbh. All about long-term stuff and I think they'll be backing themselves to be even better next year. The Championship proved this where they were on a completely different timescale to us fans.

@Capt_Fishpaste Since Regis joined we’ve been told after literally every single result that we aren’t good the opposition just had an off day or we got lucky yet in that time we’ve been promoted and are now 1 point behind a champions league place as a promoted club that’s no luck it’s design

Once again it feels like the media narrative is on the failures and shortcomings of #SAFC’s opponents rather than the things Sunderland are doing well. I hope it’s them underestimating what we’re doing rather than us overestimating it.

@Lowfields_socio @Capt_Fishpaste Ballard, reinildo sadiki, talbi, Traore Diarra I’m no mathematician but I’d say that’s 6

@tazzlor___ @Capt_Fishpaste Never 5/6 starting players missing. More like 3 plus Ballard injured. Leeds already without Longstaff and Dan James plus Rodon injured early. So, not much in it re starting 11s.

Up there with our worst performances of the season (although Leeds deserve a lot of credit for that), so it’s a good solid point. Keep the total ticking over. If DCL stays fit, Leeds won’t have to worry about relegation at all. Good side.

@MightyLeeds64 @Capt_Fishpaste Fantastic argument that mate cheers

@tazzlor___ @Capt_Fishpaste Don’t talk bollocks

@MOTweets1919 @SafcDom99 I’d love to see how Leeds would get on if you had 6 of your starting 11 missing couldn’t even beat us with your first 11 🤣

@SafcDom99 Continue to drink that sweet copium, Dom. I suspect you’ll have a rough second half of the season and finish ~13th

Let’s pretended, Sadiki, Reineildo and Ballard were playing today, Sunderland B team 1-1 Leeds

@_lufccharlie Don’t think anyone’s annoyed it’s the best we’ve got with the players available but it’s miles off being our best team

Sunderland fans annoyed at the line up? 3 points to Sunderland!

@Eddsyy @RichardBell64 The amount buying to resell will far outweigh the amount that suddenly can’t go for whatever reason. Anger should be directed towards people buying with 0 intention of going in the first place

@RichardBell64 What if someone who planned to go to the game is ill? Or suddenly gets called into work? That ticket now just goes to waste, possibly more if they’re going with others. Why punish people in them scenarios?

The club need to do something about the people who re sell 90% of their tickets. But this isn’t the way. You can’t completely stop people going to away games just because their name isn’t the one on the ticket. #SAFC
