Well this has become chaos #AFCON

Sadiki not getting an assist for Brobbey's goal is robbery He deserved the assist just for his celebration alone #SAFC

2 more wins and I reckon we can call ourselves safe #SAFC

The way it's going for Crystal Palace at the moment this is either the best possible time to play them or the worst possible time to play them #SAFC

I reckon Reinildo comes straight back in as well. Suspect Adingra will start ahead of Mundle or Mayenda Could really do with a win tomorrow, get some momentum back Gonna throw out a wild prediction that Sadiki gets his first goal for the club tomorrow #SAFC

After playing 5 games in 3 days at the start of the month this week feels like an international break Also bonus one of the lads will be coming home with an AFCON winners medal #SAFC

If anyone needs me I'll be tooling round the caravan parks of Scotland with a car full of mildly dented PCs

Anyone else surprised by how quiet this transfer window has been for us so far? I don't quite know what I was expecting but after the chaos of the summer I wouldn't have been surprised if we'd had 3 players in 10 minutes after the window opened I'm not complaining btw #SAFC

Morning walk thought processes "That's a big ginger cat" "That's a weird way for a cat to run" "It's a big old cat, look at that massive tale" "Oh it's a fox" 🦊

Really good to bounce back today, irritating to not do it in normal time but hopefully with a weeks break we can finally get some energy restored and look to kick on Next 3 games are all winnable #SAFC

Sakes last thing we bloody needed was extra time #SAFC

Be interesting to see what sort of team we put out on Saturday, can't see the Afcon lads playing Be good to have the rest of the week to fully regroup before palace Feels like a season in 2 halves #SAFC

Think it's safe to say this is our biggest head loss of the season #SAFC

In many ways I'm sad that 4 of our players have gone out of Afcon in the last 36 hours But in many more accurate ways I hope the club had cars sitting outside the stadiums to take them all to the airport ASAP #SAFC

Does anyone have the tracking for Reinildo's flight?

Pep has really turned up the stroppy bitch meter in interviews recently

16 points above the relegation zone Gap keeps growing #SAFC

I am so confused that it's Saturday tomorrow, I was at work today and now I'm off again?

I find it quite funny all these accusations we get of "Parking the bus" against Man City One I don't think we did, but how dare we utilise tactics that suit the players we have available #SAFC

Tell you what if we could get a win in either of these next 2 games, and it'll be bloody hard to do so cos the lads must be shattered. We'd be looking at 6 points during Afcon which would be an unbelievable return #SAFC

To quote Denny Crane - "Still undefeated" (at home) #SAFC

If sitting in a circle surrounded by candles trying to summon the essence of Ji Dong-won is "weird" and "something you're not allowed to do in Ikea" then call me Mr Banned from Ikea #SAFC

Absolutely massive Buffy vibes from the ending of stranger things This is not a complaint #StrangerThings5

Well 2025, everything seemed to flip in March when I boldly quit a job I hated & then managed to get myself a job I'm loving Then in May football went crazy But in the background of some of my favourite people in the world were going through hell but things are looking up for them now

I know they'll win the league anyway but watching Jack Clarke score against Coventry I always intensely disliked Coventry. Then last year I had to work near Coventry for a month and work with a bunch of Coventry fans, my dislike grew 10 fold

A lot of people seem to be down on Rigg after yesterday, I actually thought he had a decent game. Right wing is clearly not his position but in the second half he was the one player who was actually able to keep the ball and then pass it to a teammate #SAFC

If you'd told me in May that at any stage this season we would be 15 points clear of the relegation zone I would have thought you were nuts I don't see how 2026 can top 2025 but I'm excited to see it try #SAFC

Crumbs we're making Leeds look like world beaters #SAFC

That was a really good goal to be fair to Leeds #SAFC

That's a great point, Brighton are a proper club and away point there is a bloody good one #SAFC

Sometimes I wonder if one day we'll look back on the FA Cup game against the mags in the same light as the 6-0 against Bolton Feels like Bolton was the turning point on the pitch and the cup game was the turning point for fan engagement, which for me is the best it's ever been #SAFC

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha #SAFC

Previous Sunderland teams would have used the goodwill from a Derby win to coast for 2 months Especially with the excuse of several players going to Afcon But I cannot see Granit Xhaka thinking winning the derby and finishing 16th is in any way acceptable #SAFC

Well I guess I have to start believing now #SAFC

Why do the Newcastle players have to have a scrap after every game?

So about them guaranteed six easy points you were going to get #SAFC

They make a good point And I have this card that gets me a free bag of crisps as well

That worked #SAFC

Feels like the sensible move would be to pull Xhaka and Sadiki now #SAFC

Wonder if wise men say we're more mad about the result or O'nien getting a game in the premier league last night #SAFC

Feeling a little disappointed with a point at Anfield is insane #SAFC

Argh such a bad place for Talbi to lose the ball #SAFC

If we came out of these next 3 games with 4+ points and still unbeaten at home, I think I'd really start to believe we could do something special this season Then I'd remember about Afcon and have another crisis #SAFC By special I mean a top 10 finish maybe sneak into Europe I'm still a realist

Holy balls #SAFC

Today feels like a massive game to me. If 3 games without a win turns into 4, that can very quickly snowball into 7-12 games with our upcoming fixtures and Afcon Could be in the bottom half by the end of the weekend #SAFC

That's a very crash your feet back on the ground round of results #SAFC

Poor mans SWOS

Gosh it sure is great to be alive and not having to spend a month going to Kenilworth

Be interesting to see what this looks like at the end of the season, obviously massively skewed for teams with barely any points But Christ that Chelsea squad is a lot of money
