Very nice goal from Gray, hopefully makes us cut out any complacency. Not that Leicester seem that bothered

They've had chances tbf - King should've scored and De Gea made a great save. But yeah, this was more or less done when Pogba made it 4-0.

If the owners open their wallets in January, things may improve.

Danny Mills talking rubbish on the BBC Sport live text, saying we'll struggle against big teams because of our defence. Sometimes i think pundits just say shit for the sake of saying it without actually thinking

Arsenal fans booing Fabregas, didn't he want to go back there? Thought it was Wenger who didn't want to stump up?

Would you defend Michael Owen with the same reasoning?

Fabregas went to the F1 when he was fit and captain of Arsenal when we were playing and went on strike until we sold him to Barcelona

Sunderland will never (more than likely) get relegated, they're like what Wigan used to be like in the PL.

And then they dropped down to League 1. Hopefully Sunderland do the same.

Why is everyone in the thread so desperate to see Sunderland go down?

Anyway, I feel pretty confident they'll stay up. They've only lost two winnable matches so far, have Defoe up front who's still good for 10-15 goals and squads like those of Burnley and Hull have absolutely no chance of avoiding relegation, Boro haven't been very impressive in spite of having spent a tonne of money, Stoke have completely imploded, West Ham is a fucking mess and Palace are managed by Alan fucking Pardew.

Sunderland lack creativity in central midfield, aside from that their optimal first eleven looks pretty good to me.

Meh, I'd rather see them drop to the Northern Premier League.

I think Moyes will eventually sort them out (if he doesn't get sacked) but the number of capitulations they've had despite Moyes being a defensive-minded coach makes me wonder if they'll get an attack going when they do get their defence working, and whether it'll be too late by then.
Palace will stay up, Bentekkerz will ensure that in all likelihood, and I reckon Stoke, WHam and Boro will do enough in the January window to keep themselves up.

Well my personal disdain for Sunderland started when their fans did the Poznan against us at FT when City won the title in the final seconds. And then they did it again the following season, chanting about it and what not rather than cheering their own team on. It's petty of me I know.

But they keep pulling off great escape so they'll probably stay up again - bastards.
