The Darren Gibson rant is surreal and I feel it echoes the dressing room! what he did was wrong but I feel that the problem at this club is the management and they including Grayson should sort the player power problem at this club! we need a hard manager that sorts these players out with big wages and don't play for the club and shirt and supporters! is Grayson big enough to sort these players out? I have my doubts! time will tell!
29 Jul 2017 21:23:08
That was Appaling today against Celtic we need better players . what worries me is Grayson decision making Steele isn't very good Rueitr should been snapped up after one game now Burnley looking at him! Galloway isn't a left back wheres the u23s? surely we have better quality there and why is Vaughn taking penalties? we also desperately need a midfield play maker . it dosnt look good for this season and Kone just dosnt want to be here so why not play Ledger and where has Gooch gone!?
{Ed007's Note - I'm not rubbing it in or that mate after all it's a daft meaningless preseason match but that team had a lot of our squad players, reserves and youngsters today. The lad McGregor that scored the hat-trick struggles to get a starting place with us.}

One of the most depressing matches I have ever been to watch at the Sol. 22 years old and football is already depressing. Ed that was the scary thing the fact we as fans in the stands knew it wasn't your first team bar a few.
{Ed007's Note - Sorry buddy your post must have went a wander round the 'net lol I watched a bit of your game last night and you looked a lot better. I thought you would struggle getting used to the Championship but a draw against Derby is a decent start to the season.}
2.) 05 Aug 2017 13:52:32
Agree ed. Can't be to downbeat about the performance last night it was the first game in a while I enjoyed and saw passion. Am watching the Celtic play hearts right now and your league is far to easy.
{Ed007's Note - Hearts were a shambles there. I wasn't expecting much considering they sacked their manager the other day but I expected them to at least pack their defence and make a fight of it. Their fans will be really disappointed with that performance but I'm delighted! :-D

Another unbeaten league season? Must be nice to be able to have this conversation about your own team :- (.
18 Jul 2017 23:15:58
Is Anybody else worried by our pre season? why sell Manone when a replacement isn't lined up? he wants a longer contract why then did we give oshea a deal and not Manonoe? strange one that? we are always playing catch up on transfers one comes in two goes out! we shouldn't be letting these players out unless we have a replacement lined up!
i'm not sure about Grayson time will tell but it doesn't look good so far we are being found short in many positions particularly left back why hasn't that been prioritised? and we need another striker! confident about the new season not really!
1.) 19 Jul 2017 23:03:12
Our u21 keeper is rated highly bob by many at the club so he can hopefully push on this season. (Pickford did it so why nor him) also mannone wasn't that good to many mistakes in him. As for left back you have galloway, robson and oviedo all on the books. Unfortunatly we have to sell to buy just the way it is. Debt needs managed.
I am shocked you aren't sure on Grayson as I think his honesty and no nonsense attitude is a breathe of fresh air. Better than many we have had.
2.) 20 Jul 2017 00:50:30
FTM its not that i'm unsure of Grayson with the money restrictions and the way this club is run at board level he is trying to build a team with one hand tied behind his back and a sensible approach would have been to sign a first choice goalkeeper BEFORE Vito left yes the young Pole is highly rated but we need another experienced keeper! i'm sure Grayson will get it right long term but with Lens and possibly Khasri going aswell we need players in now! I also think with another striker Vaughn will deliver and Maja is in superb form and should be given a chance in the Championship!
3.) 22 Jul 2017 13:41:00
I suppose you are right if the pole gets injured we are left with mike which is worrying as he looks poor. I am at the point where I can see khazri staying if promised more game time which he will be. I agree Vaughan will do well and maja looks good but would also like a seasoned striker in in case maja becomes overwhelemed. Perhaps someone like grabban who I believe will find form if he drops down to championship.
29 Jun 2017 14:32:40
Now we are not selling the club! its a total shambles! I dunno want Short is playing at? he's runnin this club like a Monopoly game! no manager no buy out and a dodgy home shirt!, I hear Simon Grayson may be appointed? he must be mad to come to a club with a chairman with no ambition! its going to be a long season!
19 Jun 2017 11:33:56
Now we are prepared to sell Kone for only £7 MILLION! why are we always shooting ourselves in the foot? he's worth double that and we should say pay the going price or he stays! we need every penny and the way this club has been run into the ground we are heading for disaster! as the
german takeover group says we will have virtually no money for
transfers? its going to be along hard season for the supporters. AGAIN!

As a club we are in a right mess! Short won't sell we have a manager who is tacticly inept! like playing Ndong and Catts in midfield together wheres the creative players in there? on the football proggrame after the preston game a preston supporter said that the new preston manager was better than Grayson as the team played further up the field than their former manager? we are so negative under this manager and I feel that well never go forward with Grayson at the helm!
17 Aug 2017 12:25:58
AFTER the Maja injury lay off we now need 2 strikers! and icant see the point in us selling ndong . we will struggle if we continue this fire sale and Short doesn't release funds. we need quality players to get us out of this division! and also Grayson needs to make use of his subs more earlier in games as the team playing 2games a week is looking tired and leggy.
1.) 19 Aug 2017 23:50:57
Another disaster tactical display by Grayson! first Galloway a good manager would identify he is not a left back and he had a nightmare tonight! secondly WHY use sustitutes so late? thirdly why put the same team out when it was obvious we looked so tired leggy after 2 games in a week? why didn't he use the squad? if this is the tactics of a quality experienced championship manager then we are in trouble! the squad is crying out for quality injection of players! we have been dominated by teams in most of the games so far been lucky but our luck is running out! Mr Grayson has some explaining to do!
2.) 23 Aug 2017 20:22:15
If we Sell NDong that's it! wish Short would sell up and go back to texas! if West Ham or anyone wants our players sell them dabodghi or rodwell! for free!
11 Jun 2017 13:50:02
Ed what do think of the new home strip? its horrendous? and virtually all the fans think the same! its typical of how this club is run!
{Ed001's Note - you will look just like Bully off Bullseye in it, that has to be a good thing right? ;-)
31 Dec 2016 17:54:21
Another terrible display against Burnley! We are in total meltdown and the recent upturn has evaporated! no money a deteriating injury list. and would it been btter if Big Sam had taken over again? I can't understand Moyes tactics! . why why why hasn't Moyes played Khasri when we are crying out for a goalscoring midfielder and persisting with Nodoye? who can't pass the ball 5 foot! . and to top it all the club is run by a guy who isn't interested in the club and through bad management has ruined this famous club! . where do we go from here??
1.) 01 Jan 2017 14:03:22
Down!
2.) 02 Jan 2017 14:18:06
Agree with that one chops, for heavens sake Moyes has put Rodwell in today. I would not trust this manager with another penny, even if one was available.
3.) 04 Jan 2017 12:24:53
West Ham bid £5 million for Defoe? / / what a joke! well lose £60 million if we are relegated so i'd list him at that price as he alone could keep us up! agree with above I don't trust Moyes with a penny with di abogi and ndoye are very bad buys and why doesn't he play Khasri or Honeyman in midfield? . goal scoring midfielders? Moyes is so negative!
4.) 04 Jan 2017 19:52:09
Bob, I would get rid of Kone if a big offer is made, he faked injury and is now off to Africa nations cup, he is not half the player he was, despite improved contract, and is not giving 100%. It says a lot about the player, get rid to free up funds and of course a replacement center half who would actually give his best, instead of this false sod.
5.) 05 Jan 2017 23:59:48
Agree 100% Chris about Kone, he's just not interested! sell him for £15-18 million keep Defoe at least till the summer, sell Lens who again isn't interested and if Short has any business sense hell give the proceeds to Moyes for reinvestment! if Short sells Defoe hell suffer the wrath of the supporters and I think moyes would resign!
6.) 14 Jan 2017 21:51:59
Another appaling display today against a poor weakened Stoke team! even worse than the Burnley one and the Sight of Van An Holt arguing with Janusai shows Moyes has lost the dressing room, he won't use the kids can't motivate the team and his signings are poor. can't see any way our of this! time to leave David! and take your defensive negative tactics with you!
7.) 15 Jan 2017 13:55:45
How can you expect to win a game with two village idiots Love and Djilobodji and my SOLUTION is sack Moyes, get rid of all the foreigners and give local lads a chance who know what it is to play for Sunderland
When a team do not even try the manager's position is untenable but with poxy face Short and Baldy Bains it will not happen.
It is time for the supporters who are the club to rise up and drive the management and owner out of the club and start again
I could pick a Northern League team who would give 110%, who would walk to Sunderland to play for the club and give a better account than the dross who played yesterday
8.) 16 Jan 2017 01:12:07
Which normal manager at 3-1 down wouldn't put a single sub on to change it! he's not fit to manage this club and to insult the fans by saying he would have walked out after the first half display is a disgrace! he's got no respect for the fans and I thought he would be a manager who brought in the kids but nothing! in fact Pickford wouldn't have got a chance if Mannone wasn't injured! sack the manager and the board! and the Burnley cup game?! save the pain and forfeit the match to Burnley to save further humiliation!
9.) 18 Jan 2017 13:42:35
You were dead right bob, humiliation against the mighty Burnley, who rested 7 of their players. One point though bob, I would add sack the players to your post, this lot are not interested at all, and losing just does not bother them, disgraceful.
05 Nov 2016 20:10:42
Can someone tell David Moyes that when we play 4-4-2 we score goals and win! its a simple no brainer! it should be made law that we play 4-4-2 at home the supporters want it and it pays dividends!

08 Jul 2017 13:09:07
And we are After Max Gradel from Bournemouth if we can afford the fee of £3million! . perhaps we should have a whip round from the supporters? lol. we need to replace the annual problem of signing a STRIKER! or TWO! 3 have left and I we need two top experienced strikers plus Maja and Asro as standy . only scoring goals will get you out of the Championship!
15 Jun 2017 22:45:32
We are a laughing stock! . AGAIN! . what a shambles this club is in! we can't even attract Mcinnes! . its about time Bains should go! typical of this club Bains has spent 4 weeks pursuing his main target without any back up or the fact we are 2 weeks away from pre season 3 from our first friendly no signings and worst of all no direction! Auf Wedersehen to promotion!
11 Jun 2017 13:45:42
Well mate! the way the club is going Mickey Mouse or the Keystone cops might be better! and after seeing the horrendous new home shirt which looks like a carrier bag this has already happened! . best of luck for the new season!
05 Jun 2017 22:06:58
And now Martin Bains is saying there is no hurry in finding a new manager? Eh! perhaps he should go? unbeievable! perhaps the truth is that Short can't find a manager that can't spend much on players! you can't promote a team with no squad as we will lose so many players during the summer! this club is run like the keystone cops!

So Brave Little boy with that wonderful smile. as everyone around me has said we should name a stand after his name and I see the Hibs testimonial game they are donating some of the proceeds towards the Bradley Lowry fund that is so kind of Him and the club!
15 Jun 2017 22:56:43
Well good luck to Jordan! as for Asro if we are letting our talent go why so cheap? £5 million? you are joking. it should be 3 times that! otherwise he stays! mind I don't blame both wanting to leave considering the state the club is in at present!
05 Jun 2017 22:12:30
AND! any new manager will have to do it without no transfer money? we need someone who can work miracles! . and shop in Poundland! lol.
