  1. Our apparent 'safe until no CL' policy - admirable or idiotic?

    I think the key considerations as to whether we sack Mourinho now or not: Likely finishing position under Jose Money involved in terminating his contact now as opposed to when not mathematically possible to make Champs League (if he doesn't get top 4) Availability of suitable permanent or...

  3. Cards on the table, who is to blame for our awful league form?

    Perhaps one of the vote options should be: 'its all just bad luck and bad refereeing' That seems to be a common view amongst some fans. Mourinho seems to coming out of all this pretty well I think, if we were top now and scoring loads it would be Mourinho taking all the credit, not the players...
  4. All ticket/travel information thread - 2016/17 -Touting will not be tolerated on the site

    Tickets now available for the Sunderland and Middlesborough games. I just purchased one for each. For games that are marked sold out which aren't ballot ones, you need to click on 'register an interest' so in theory you should get an email or txt as soon as more tickets become available. However...

    1. Paul Ince was very posssibly better than Roy Keane but doesn't get as much credit because he didn't stay as long and went onto play for Liverpool. 2. Carrick isn't the wonder of the world that some people make him out to be, and Daley Blind is actually better in that midfield position.
  8. David Moyes | West Ham in talks with him for managerial job

    Moyes has never made a good start anywhere he's been! Even at Preston and Everton things were slow to get going. Couldn't afford to be slow off the mark at Sunderland though as they haven't got a good enough squad to significantly under perform and still stay out of the bottom 3. He needed to...
