SUNDERLAND THREAD

Congrats mackem on the nipper.

I'm going to guess that sanogo will have a reaction to his Bayern outing n pod will start, along with flappy and rosicky.

I still can't figure why Wenger didn't rest Giroud before the Bayern game, weird.

2-0.

I think maybe we will be a little bit jaded physically for this one :roll:

However we will still win 2 nil :barscarf:

Is 'our' Sanogo actually a footballer, sure long legs quick feet, but Adebawhore had all that too before we moulded him into the tssr he is now. AW lv affair with developing African sports players into footballers of some sort continues...jeez wish he'd (AW) sod off somewhere else & take him with him.... DON'T SIGN THE CONTRACT WENGER!

We are once again at home where our League form is terrific

We are proper flat track bullies, so expect us to pick off Sunderland

Realising our CL campaign is over, our players will be focused on League prospects now

Sunderland are utter turdbags, as reflected by their league placing

Their defence is nonexistent or at the very least quite permeable

Their blunt attack won't be causing our defence any worries, so another clean sheet in the making for us surely

We have Wenger

Sunderland favourites, IMO.

He rested him against Liverpool.

Must surely be something to do with the reports in the Sun- needs a rest to sort out his "private" life :?

On your day you'll hammer us but we're decent away from home and IF we can catch you on an off day we might sneak it.

I'm not going down this season like, baby due in 3 weeks and a Wembley trip to pay for on top of Old Trafford for the semi (and the fact I'm leaving my job to move to Sunderland due to said baby) means I'm watching the pennies a bit. Will just have to make do with a stream (me good mate wibble off here is coming round to watch it with me, hopefully there won't be anything too controversial just to keep the peace!).

Some are saying the run in is more important than Wembley but I don't agree with that like - relegation and a cup win anytime over survival and a cup final defeat, want to actually win something! Having said that Sunderland love kicking us in the bollocks, we'll probably get smacked at the Emirates, battered at Wembley and get relegated :cry: . Oh well :barscarf:
good luck with the final mate, would love it if you beat shitty :barscarf:

also, good luck with the expected new arrival. I know nothing about babies but i hear they solve all the troubles in the world. (well thats what my gf seems to think) 8)

I wish we were flat track bullies, but we struggle to 1 and 2-0 wins against pisspoor teams. It's a while since we've caned anybody.

You haven't fallen for the "rested" line Wenger likes to trot out, have you? :o :shock: :?

You don't rest a player for the biggest game of the season. He was dropped. That much is obvious.

Sod that! Personally I'm hoping for your personal hero, Bendtner, to score the winner in the last minute from a clearly offside position :-P

That's what I think too but I can't remember Wenger dropping anyone for a big game.

This was Wengers Game of The Season and he throws in an untried kid over pod or even Ox.

Smh . No sense at all to it.

To be fair if that happens I'd probably cum about as hard as you - like a battered wife I couldn't complain if Bendy fucks us. But aye, a bit controversy will be fine I suppose, when we score 3 I suppose I'll still enjoy it. And even if we don't, well "que sera sera", that Wembley looks canny nice, don't worry though mate, if you ask me nicely enough I might even show you my ticket, just so you know what a cup final ticket looks like :wink:

I have to admit I don't hate Sunderland ,had a pal from South Shields who sangin a post punk band called the Angelic Upstarts who remain the best live band I've ever seen.
He lived in Wood Green with the rest of the band and we went up to the working mans club in South Shields where his dad drank when Arsenal played and had massive piss ups all around !
Was the only Sunderland fan I know that the Geordies wouldn't attack on site cos they respected him !
Haven't seen the Old socialist for many years now but I hear he's still about !
