Sunderland AFC v Leicester City FC post match thread 0 - 2

[Bob Weasel Fox]

Yeah it's a little unnecessary but come on it's just normal English Scottish jibes. I doubt Bob thinks all scots are *****, just that one in particular and all the gingers.

Woe Woe Woe

It wasn't me who said anything xenophobic

Please look back at the posts

I just called him a cvnt because he is a cvnt

Nothing to do with where he is from

[Bob Weasel Fox]

souness can lick me gooch the bitter ****in jock

just because your teams are liverpool an scotland stop bringing every one down you minty ****ing ballbag

I believe this is the post people are getting their knickers in a twist about

Nothing to do with me

[Vacamion]

As an Englishman living in Glasgow, I must inform you that the correct and non-xenophobic term for a Scottish person is Scotch.

They just love it when you call them Scotch.

LVG is a fraud

United should be playing exciting attacking football

I don't know any United fans who want him to stay after this season

This is why it is so beautiful to watch the LVG episode play out. Long may it continue.

Shame United ruined the day

[MC Prussian]

Moving away from our performance, but did anyone else rate Kirchoff for Sunderland?

Although mannone kept them in the game at times I thought he was their stand out performer! Only 25 and recently moved there from Bayern! Can play defensive mid and CB, if Sunderland get relegated I wouldn't mind adding him to our squad

 

I thought Kirchhoff had a great game, stifling our attacks - in particular through the middle - early on and making a general nuisance of himself, pressing hard and trying to push our midfielders back into our own half. I think of him as a more talented and more effective version of Lee Cattermole or a young German Yaya Touré. At 6ft 4, he looks so gargantuan in midfield, at least one head taller than anyone around him.

Sorry Bob it was the post you quoted, anyway I was defending it not backing the claim.

[Lcfcwigstonblue]

I thought Amartey looked more composed today when he came on.

[simon789us]

Armarty and grey did More in those last few mins than marhez did all game think his mind is elsewhere needs a rocket up his ass needs to play a hell of a lot better if he want to continue playing subs bench next week I think rest of the team was awesome

I agree he's a great player, but isn't he a keeper?

[ithuriel]

Hearing two theories about Mahrez, either he is tired or he has had his head turned and is holding back from getting injured.

Personally I do not know, he has been off form for a few games now but CR knows what he is doing so I'll sit back and see if the team can get the points required to win the league.

[Reg Vardy]

No, bigot is not the correct word.

Van Arnholt and Kirchoff would add to our squad

[Monk]

Watching the highlights last night - so proud. For both of the goals Vardy turned nothing into goals. For the second I thought is first touch pushed it too far but not so. The first was a great finish. How they missed that sitter who knows.

[bluesbrothers]

I'm a Scot and have supported Leicester since 1964 when living in Loughborough.  I have no time for Souness either as a pundit but there is no need for the ----Jock crap.  Its racist.  Lots of Scots here want City to win,  He is an individual and does not represent a whole race of people or would you like all of England to be judged by the views of one irritating English pundit??

 

Scot isn't a race. If we were calling him a Celtic willy puller, maybe.

By your standards, melt is a racial slur against a North Londoner.

Cheers Strokes I appreciate it was a mistake and you were trying to defend it anyway but I just don't want anyone thinking I am xenophobic (or racist or gingerist )

[Guest Col city fan]

Actually, no. I won't take it elsewhere thanks. "Polluting threads" FFS

Mate will you please stop 'polluting threads' with your vitriol.

It's most unbecoming....

lol

[Koke]

Watch Vardy's second goal. He robs van Aanholt of the ball and Cattermole doesn't even bother covering for his team mate. Mannone then comes storming out to stop Vardy and Cattermole just jogs back literally, whilst Vardy goes around Mannone and scores. Shocking. If I was a Sunderland fan I'd be livid. The lack of work rate and not bothering to bust a gut by Cattermole to save a goal is abysmal. He was practically jogging back watching Vardy score.

The whole sunderland team looked dead on their feet in the last 10, I think he just physically didn't have it in his legs after trying to keep in touching distance of Kante.

We could have won that by 3 or 4 if we wanted to/had players competent infront of goal at the end.

[Brooksy]

Turned it off on 87 minutes and went for a walk I was a bag of nerves. Just watched the last 8 minutes and how comfortable were we? Don't think Sunderland actually got into our half and we should have scored about 4 or 5, that Amartey miss was criminal tho

[SpinneyHillRanger]

After we scored, they barely had a look in... Apart from the rodwell chance we saw the game out so well. I think it was partly down to how we setup and also ulloa, amartey and gray all did a good job.

For the record, the original comment wasn't specifically aimed at Izzy, only in response to him on the subject matter - never found I have any issue with either of you, even though you're both clearly willy pullers.........  

[Ric Flair]

Anyone struggling to handle the amount of chances we've missed to go 2 up in the last 2 games? It was ridiculous yesterday, has Ulloa ever hit a shot first time without taking numerous dauby touches first? I know none of this matters when we win but the goal difference with Spurs would be in half by now if we had and although that's not as important right now as it could be we need to be ruthless in these final few games.

 

I personally thought we were dog mess first half, no fluency but I have the ultimate confidence in this team and Ranieri and 2nd half we were strong. I'm delighted and relieved that Vardy has got over the 20 goal mark, he deserves that and a little flurry of goals from now until the end of the season would be lovely. Kante and Drinkwater were superb 2nd half and Albrighton was more of a threat than Mahrez for once.

 

Talking of Mahrez, he looked tired/uninterested in parts yesterday. I know he has that casual style that makes him a nightmare to play against but we need to manage him well in these last few games to get one or two final bits of magic out of him to get us this title.

 

What a season. Bonkers.

When you look at how Danny Simpson saved that goal against Southampton after sprinting past Kasper and compare it to Cattermole in exactly the same position yesterday it completely justifies why we are where we are and they are where they are.

[Frankston fox]

Great scenes after the 2nd Vardy goal , looked like a husband and wife celebrating in the crowd with a look on their face like this could actually happen in their lifetime.

Behave. Mahrez has won many games this season forus thanks to brilliant pieces of skill that no-one else in this squad would have been capable of. Mahrez doesn't need a rocket up his arse, he needs the confidence to do what he does best and I believe Ranieri knows how to nurture it. By Mahrez' own admission, he got a rocket earlier this season when he was on the bench for not working hard enough and I do not believe he has been lazy lately.

 

There was one special run from him yesterday which would probably end up in the net six times out of ten and he was hardly on the ball all first half. As Ric Flair mentioned, we need to manage and nurture him to get one or two more magic moments from him before sending him on a long holiday to recharge.
