Sunderland V Manchester City 3pm

Paully D

Live on Fox Soccer, Sky Calcio etc so there'll be plenty of streams knocking around.

Sunderland: Mignolet, Gardner, Rose, Kilgallon, Cuellar (c), Larsson, Colback, Johnson, McClean, Sessegnon, Fletcher.

Manchester City: Hart, Kompany (c), Zabaleta, K Toure, Nastasic, Y Toure, Garcia, Silva, Milner, Aguero, Tevez.

Cuellar and Kilgallon up against Aguero and Tevez. A half fit Larsson who has been woeful in the center of midfield even when fully fit. This won't end well.

2-0 City.

Darkglasses

Comfortable City win but I suspect Fletcher will nick one. 3-1 City

Disappointed Rekik didn't start again.

double GG

EDIT: wrong thread

Darkglasses

Vinny heads one off the crossbar, Yaya hits the rebound straight at Mignolet

Darkglasses

Francois is at right back, doing his best to make attacking runs.

Paully D

Mignolet won't be with us for too much longer, he deserves to play for a far better team.

Darkglasses

Ooooof, almost a screamer there by Fletch.

Darkglasses

Stop in play, Zaba's bleeding on his head. Totally accidental kick by a Sunderland player.

Darkglasses

Wonder what the odds are on another stoppage time winner? :rolleyes:

Is O'Shea injured or rested?

Darkglasses

Rested I believe, unless he was injured in the warm up.

Why were the Sunderland fans booing Zabs there?

Hangover id say.

Anyway we are doing pretty well. Can see us holding on for a draw at 0-0 or 1-1

Paully D

Very happy with that.

McClean with his best performance in a long, long time. Sessegnon causing a lot of problems and the team as a whole are doing well getting our wingers into two on one situations with their full backs.

I still fully expect City to move up the gears and win the game but if we keep playing like that I can't complain about the players effort at all.

I think they think he went over too easy when he was challenged by Gardner just after he came back on the pitch.

City looked rattled at the end of that half.

Johnson & McClean the standouts.

Thought Johnson was hit and miss. McClean was class though

Jaysus, McClean is playing well.

applehunter

Joe Hart:D

BobbyPropane

GET IN. What a ****ing goal

Xavi6

Oh dear, Hart

Foul on Zab in the build up too.

born2bwild

Some ball to Sessignon there by McClean

Darkglasses

I don't know what it is but that ref really irritates me.

applehunter

Some brilliant defending from Sunderland.

Man. City need some width from full-backs.

Darkglasses

Dzeko on for Tevez. About time.

Darkglasses

If Yaya does one more rubbish shot from nowhere I swear to God...

Darkglasses

Gaz Baz on for Francois. 5 minutes or so to save a point.

BobbyPropane

Mig and Hart are the best keepers in the league

Xavi6

Stick Lescott up front

Lennonist

Good to see McClean return somewhere near his level that he displayed last season.

Leiva

City you absolute bag of mickeys !

Just cost me a small packet on a accum.

Darkglasses

Lescott on for Kolarov Javi Garcia.

Dzeko can't save the day yet again......Or can he?

What a victory for Sunderland, delighted for Johnson.

Xavi6

Standard crap performance only this time we got punished. No complaints.

Darkglasses

We DESPERATELY need to work on our crossing. Poor today.

3 points fully deserved to Sunderland IMO.

Sunderland never got into the game in the 2nd half but did defend very well as a team.

McClean has some engine on him.

Delighted for O'Neill, some people around here were very quick to write him off. A top, top manager for many years with different clubs. Sunderland are at best a mid table to lower half side, O'Neill has them punching their weight, that's all you can ask from a manager.

Blatter

Cheers Sunderland :cool:

As Xavi6 would say, Good on Sunderland
Delighted.

Nope, I don't use all caps either.

Come on, if you're going to be petty and call out one specific poster at least have the decency not to misquote them

Just the same lacklustre City. Lucky to get the win the other day as well. It has to be a virtual certainty now Man Utd to win the league. On probability alone, they would have to lose 3 games or draw 4 and City or Chelsea to win all theirs just for the latter be on parity or one ahead and that is just not going to happen. City are very disappointing this season and lack dimension everywhere, and might be lucky to hold on to a place in the top 4, IMO.
