𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗖𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 | 𝗦𝗨𝗡𝗗𝗘𝗥𝗟𝗔𝗡𝗗 𝟬-𝟱 𝗡𝗢𝗧𝗧'𝗠 𝗙𝗢𝗥𝗘𝗦𝗧 Eleanor and Richard react as Sunderland suffer their heaviest home defeat in Premier League history Fair to say nobody saw that coming! #SAFC wisemensay.co.uk/reaction-sun...

Well that was something wasn’t it, wondered if it was a dream. While it felt a bit “freakish” - it was never close to being a 5-0 game to anyone - you can’t switch off like that in the PL. Has to act as a warning you can’t start to think less than 100% is acceptable for even a minute. #SAFC

Evening

MONDAY SHOW | ASTON VILLA 4-3 #SAFC Tough one to take but a very decent effort by The Lads. @stephengoldsmith.bsky.social and Gareth discuss the game and the bigger picture. Apple: shorturl.at/Hn3nN Spotify: shorturl.at/WEOmX Website: wisemensay.co.uk

I’m actually at the point where I don’t want to hear anything else all evening. I just want Spurs fans to call in and list these names over and over. #THFC

Usually hate it when Talksport go on about the “top 6” (Spurs lol) but this is great listening this afternoon. Their fans with all the hits for the “Spurs man” of choice, Sherwood, Hoddle, Redknapp, Kilnsmann, there’s even been a shout for Sheringham.

Great Saturday morning TV this #SAFC

⚽️ MONDAY POD ⚽️ Another loss. Unlucky or concerning? Or both? Gareth and @eamc1076.bsky.social look back to the defeat at home to Brighton. Apple: shorturl.at/Hn3nN Spotify: shorturl.at/WEOmX Website: wisemensay.co.uk

Nearly 40 years I’ve watched #SAFC live and not sure I’ve ever seen a more complacent and lazy performance than that

Me and our boy

Enough already of this offside bullshit. Do something about it. It’s ruining it.

Will take a lift to Port Vale Sunday if anyone is doing it. Just saying #SAFC

You’ve never even played tenth division Sunday league football if you think that’s a handball. You’d be embarrassed as a defender to claim it.

After the ref’s performance against Fulham, has there ever been more of a “hold my beer moment”?

While hard to say a draw wasn’t a fair result on balance of play, an unacceptable refereeing performance denies as clear a penalty as you’ll see, and a red card.

It’s the sort of team we’d have started the season with so can’t feel too sorry for ourselves. Be great to get a result down there today #SAFC

Well we had a good run with the glorious #SAFC retro stuff. Black Lonsdale kit hands down WORST we’ve ever had. Remember how disgusted Keane was we had Lonsdale kits?

Newcastle (a) sorted

A match and gig combo tomorrow. Like I’m in my 20s again.

Ha’way along and see what’s on offer. Setting up a lovely little Open Evening.

The ref needs to compose himself here and not react to this nonsense. It’s a stonewall penalty. McLean in co comms was desperate to try and persuade himself it wasn’t a foul. Every decision we get he’s making it seem like a controversy of some sort.

Need an attacking player to step up here and show everyone their quality #SAFC

What a very clear yellow card challenge that was

What a great clearly onside goal that was.

I also think this Hume thing needs to be put to bed now. I don’t know what’s happening on the training ground (obviously) but it’s not working and limiting us at that end of the pitch.

I thought #SAFC played with a fear I’ve not seen all season at home. As soon as Liverpool scored, they relaxed and started to play a bit, almost like a weight had been lifted. The crowd could sense it all too, really odd.

Doing some podding this evening, a little bit wrapping up of the Arsenal game and looking ahead to Liverpool. Any questions, thoughts #SAFC lot?

As much as I’ve ever wanted wanted a #SAFC outgoing loanee to do well.

I also despise us wearing black and our performances in this kit aren’t changing my mind.

Absolute shocker by #SAFC. Felt like a no brainer to start Geertruida in midfield and that shambolic performance by Hume just makes the call even more bizarre.

#SAFC lot still use this platform or has novelty fully garned?
