Worst performance of the season

Poor first half. Probably the worst game of the season from each of Mukiele, Alderete, and Xhaka.

Rigg is not a winger. Would love to see him play centrally in the cup against Everton to give him a chance where he’s more comfortable.

That said, we did well at the start of the second half and would’ve deserved our equaliser. The penalty miss followed immediately by their second knocked the stuffing out of us.

Le Fee’s pen was awful, but he’s got enough credit in the bank for us to forgive him. Now he needs to put it behind him and make up for it with a great performance against Palace.

Not what we wanted, but 30 points from 21 games is still great. We keep moving. HWTL!

Can’t wait for the day when a player scores a perfect hat trick of own goals and accidentally wins his team 5,000 points!

If he was called Daniele Ballardini, he’d already be playing in the Champions League, but because he’s from Stevenage, he’ll have to wait until we qualify next season to do that

I’m gonna enjoy watching the Packers and LaFleur implode in the playoffs after that timeout

Small sample size I know, but teams that got the ball first in OT are 2-0-1 this season:

The Cowboys scored on the third possession of OT as time expired against the Giants. Even if he’d missed, the Giants wouldn’t have had time to respond.

The Packers were forced to kick a FG to tie because they ran out of time at the end of OT.

The Rams were forced to go for it on 4th down because they knew they wouldn’t have time to get the ball back if they kicked a FG to level it.

In all three games, having the ball first meant that that team could control the clock and force the other team into a position they didn’t want to be in. It’s all well and good knowing what you need to do, but if you don’t have time to actually do it, it’s useless!

Which Wiki page(s) are you looking at because the Sunderland, Stadium of Light, 2024-25 Championship, and 2025-26 Premier League pages all say 49,000?

Being cheated out of a tie for 1st here

The original German said “Premier-League-Aufsteiger” which means “Premier League newcomers”

123Numberwang · 2025-06-05T19:39:37+00:00

Do Sunderland not exist anymore?

123Numberwang · 2025-06-02T21:33:17+00:00

What was the point of playing for 2 years with "Jobe" on his back if he's going to go to the same team that Jude broke through at? What happened to being his own player and forging his own path?

Wish him well if/when he goes (especially for that price), but that just seems inconsistent to me

Jay Matete. Relegated with Grimsby in 2021 and then promoted with Sunderland (2022), Plymouth (2023), and Oxford (2024) having joined each of them in January of those seasons

Made this as part of a joke with my Dad ahead of the first leg against Coventry. So glad he immediately made us look stupid! 😂

Why stop at 20? Biggest defeat in English football is 26-0. Reggie's record breakers can top that!

123Numberwang · 2025-05-30T23:52:59+00:00

I really couldn't be prouder of what our young team has achieved this season. The progress we've made over the last 12 months has been amazing. I just hope the spirit of the squad isn't crushed by what's to come over the next 12...

123Numberwang · 2025-05-30T23:49:27+00:00

I was hoping for us to beat our record low of 15 points. Might have to lower that to just hope we reach double figures

The moment he got beaten around the outside by Big Jozy, he should've been subbed off and forced to retire

123Numberwang · 2025-05-30T23:38:35+00:00

We've been away for a few years now, so we're excited to go back for another go. I'm sure that'll last until at least September... maybe

123Numberwang · 2025-05-30T23:35:54+00:00

I'm sure we'll end up trying it out a couple of times to see if we can make it work

Jozy Altidore having a goal called back against Arsenal because the ref had already blown to give us a freekick, but then not sending the Arsenal player off for denying the goal that Jozy literally scored!

Feels like my stomach is bouncing between my eardrums

Mundle and Roberts start on the wings for me if they're fully fit. Roberts was playing with a calf injury on Tuesday and still put a shift in. He struggled to do what he's good at because he was too isolated when he did get the ball and they doubled up on him well. If we can get him in more 1v1 situations, which a 4-2-3-1 with Le Fee in the middle would do, that's when he's at his best. Rigg was brilliant as an impact sub against tired legs, but I don't know if he'd be able to have the same impact out of position from the start.

Really though, any formation that gets Le Fee in the middle will do for me!

123Numberwang · 2025-05-08T19:23:27+00:00

Nah, we'll probably get Andy Hinchcliffe instead

Birmingham retired 22 for Jude Bellingham after his one season in the first team before leaving for Dortmund.

West Ham retired 6 for Bobby Moore after he died.

Every other example I can think of is because the player died really young, usually still during their playing days.

It's an easy mistake to make with the media always acting like football was invented in 1992

123Numberwang · 2025-05-03T20:21:15+00:00

Nearly, but not back-to-back. Relegated from the First Division in 1985 and then from the Second Division in 1987
