Firstly I didn't say superior. Secondly, I'm very happy to question your football knowledge too. Hyam and Travis are Championship plodders.

Phillips needs to be off. One yellow for starting a fight with Cantwell. A second yellow for that shit haircut.

Which superstar players did we sell in the summer?

He's done it twice now - got into great positions and delivered a poor ball.

You won't find a more vocal anti-Venkys man than me. I simply don't think this squad is noticeably worse than the squad we fielded last season. Our game management and luck has been absolutely abysmal though - hence why I think we're going down. Rigo should be off for that trip by the way.

We're going down - just one of those seasons I'm afraid. Nothing between these sides and yet they're ahead through a deflected goal.

FFS.

He's clearly a confidence player that needs an arm around his shoulder. Hasn't responded well to Ismael's management style.

Just noticed how heavily strapped up Cantwell is.

No, we've had the better chances and these players need as much time as possible to get used to the Championship. I'd be trying to find a way to get Henriksson on the pitch, but that would mean dropping Cantwell / putting him out wide. As crap as Hedges is going forward he puts in a shift so you can't really do that.

Why, have they had the better chances?

They need to drill these throw-ins more. We're never ready for the flick on / half clearance.

I quite like him.

Gudjohnsen has to score there. Bloody hell.

Their RB is a knob.

Where were these corners from Thomas when he played for us?!

There's nothing to cheer - this is year 15 of a PL club being artificially held down a level (or two) by horrendous owners. The Stadium of Light would be empty in similar circumstances, and there's sod all else to do up there.

Poor athlete and, by some accounts, didn't apply himself properly. I thought he'd be a good player for us, but he eventually found his level.

Couldn't cross for toffee when he played for us.

Loads haven't gone today because the weather is shite. Couple that with the fact that the ownership and those they put in charge don't warrant our commitment and that's what you get.

The performance were we, at worst, deserved a draw? Sadly these players are finding their feet at this level - Morishita, Gudjohnsen, Miller, Albeiosu et al are just going to need consistent game time. I feel sorry for Henriksson who can't seem to get on the pitch at the moment.

There's surely no way it's on - the weather is much worse this week than it was last.

I'm no longer embarrassed by this club - it isn't the same one I committed my allegiance to as a boy.

Probably not going to bother with this one - the pitch can't handle any amount of rain and it's rained for days with a yellow rain warning on the way.

It was another even game that we ended up losing - their player scored a 1 in 10 volley and their GK pulled off a worldie from an Ohashi header. Obviously the referee refused to give a stonewall penalty too. Fine margins.
