Perry Groves says Saints remind him of his uncle Ron - “they’re too nice”.

I bet there were a few Sunderland fans saying the same thing as you before they brought Moyes in…

Eh? He got us promoted FFS.

But how long can this Dragan for?

Marsch explains why he decided not to take the job in a podcast interview with Simon Jordan. He wasn’t offered long enough. We would have gone down with Marsch regardless.

They’re not going to sack him before the Russell Martin XI charity game…

Sigh.

Confidence/mentality is a massive issue. RM needs to sort out the way the players’ heads drop when they go behind after being in control. If we’d have held on against Ipswich, last night would have been a different story. I am a big RM fan but I can’t see where our next points are coming from.

Southgate…

Jones’ days here were numbered as soon as the club put a mic on him during that training session.

Not guaranteed relegation but I think we’ve shown enough so far that we are going to give this season a bloody good go. I don’t think you can ask for much more from a newly-promoted side, can you? God forbid we’re subjected to the hopeless football in our relegation season. This team would wipe the floor with 2022-23.

The way I look at it: Newcastle: unlucky not to get anything. We were the better team. Ultimately, our record at St James’s Park is awful. Nottingham Forest: fair play, they were the better team. They’ve done very well so far this season and we’ve got a terrible record against them too. Brentford: our bogey team. Have we got anything from them since they’ve been in the Prem? Man United: we’ve not beaten them at home in 20 years. Better side until the penalty miss. Ipswich: on par. Both promoted teams. A point is a valiant effort against a team far superior to us last season. We’ve improved more than them, I’d say. When you look at that, it’s a better start than the Adkins PL era. It is going to take time to adjust. I don’t think we are as bad as the Sheffield United and Derby teams and I think we’ve shown enough promise to better the points tally from the relegation season.

Ok mate, but I don’t really know what you were going to expect from this season.

Yes, we suffered a typically Saintsy last gasp equaliser but, if we held on, so many of these replies will be focusing on how well we played and that we deserved all three points. We need to focus on the positives. We all knew this was going to be a tough, tough season considering the squad we have, but the difference in passion and positivity this team has compared to the one that was relegated is night and day. Finally I feel we have a team to be proud of again.

I’m going for it. We’ll win 2-1.

Fair play Vincent Kompany. He’s got Bayern ticking.

Realistically, how many points were we expecting after these four games? I would have gone with one point at this stage before the season started.

I can’t see many managers turning the players we have into a decent PL side.

https://amp.theguardian.com/football/2024/sep/12/football-daily-email-the-barclaysmen Beattie and Henri Camara for me.

10 goals in 13 games for Sunderland are tasty numbers. Definitely deserving of a go in the PL.

A bit Bijlow the belt…

Then we will absolutely go down. We need to learn from our mistakes from the circus show of the last PL season. We need to stick with RM. He’s the only chance we have with the side we’ve built up.

Edozie has had plenty of opportunities to shine under four managers. He hasn’t. You can’t blame RM for that.

Good job we’ve been relegated three games in. I don’t think I’d be able to handle the negativity.

If we pull off this signing, I’ll be cracking open the Kostic soda
