P.s. Hows your nipper doing? Getting used to the lack of sleep yet?

Can you explain to me why Roy is responsible for us playing terrible football ?

Redemption is one thing BUT personally I am totally embarrassed about our first 'goal' - Blackpool looks like being a big game!!

lol she's getting better,but we have had lots of sleepless nights

He's the manager.

It's his job to get the best out of the players. He's not doing that (you could argue that, but mostly, we've seen these players, we know they're capable of better).

I might be in a minority, but I thought the ref actually got it right for our first goal.

Sunderland tried to take the free kick early, ref pulled it back and indicated the spot for it to be taken from. The ball was knocked back there, the ref jogs up the pitch... Turner can't knock it back for it to be taken from somewhere else at that point. It's already in the right place. If they kick it, it's live.

Same as with corners, when teams try that 'tap the ball off the spot so it's live but hope the other team doesn't notice so they can catch them out' thing. If the other team sees what they're doing and get the ball, they can't say, "Oh, I wasn't taking the corner, I was just moving the ball for no reason".

Not that I think Sunderland were trying to be clever. It was bloody stupid really. But I think the ref did get it technically right.
