I have barley watched them play. No need to get irritated and invested in something that goes way beyond mine and mine teams control. Have seen them twice in the Prem. Against us and against pool. I regret watching their last game. Won’t tune in until our game against them.

Yup they are selling the fight, so kind of get it. Most important thing is that the team and the manager don’t fall for it. 18 pts to play for prior to the final, so just focus on our games and what’s in our control.

Find it funny to see/read all the nonsense from Sky Sports regarding the Carabao cup finals importance. They are doing everything in their power to "sell the fight". Got to respect it.

Would make sense, but feels like I'd give Jesus another go with Martinelli and Gyok coming in from the bench. Jesus had a very good game last season away at Brentford.

Nice episode!! Sunderland is/was the perfect dress rehearsals for Brentford. Almost identical playing styles. Also our attackers are finally bubbling. Not being wired to rely on Saka and Ode made others step up. Finally Kai Havertz, what a fucking player, we have to keep him fit.

It's fully in our hands with decent buffer with 13 to go. We should not care about other teams doing us any favors. 11 wins gives us the title, that should be our only focus.

Nah not even worried about City. They bottled a 0-2 lead against the worst Spurs team I've seen in my life. I for one would not even be surprised by a 2-2 game against Fulham on Wednsday.

The idea of playing an english team in the UCL is boring. But with 6 teams in the comp, it's damn near impossible to avoid if you progress. Not sure City will beat Real/Inter in 2 legs.

We will. It just feels like the kind of season we’re in. Hate to say it, but we’ll probably lose the cup final, then endure two straight weeks of unbearable noise and pressure over the international break, only to turn around and beat them when everyone has written us off.

Winning leagues is not easy. I've had a feeling for the longest, that we're beating them at the Ethiad.

Current gap between 1st and 2nd in the top 5 leagues.

La Liga: 1pt
Ligue 1: 3pt
Serie A: 8pt (team in 2nd have a game in hand though)
Bundesliga: 6pt
Premier league: 6pt

Funny season. Given how everything has lined up, it all points to a Arsenal win at the Ethiad. It would just be typical for this season. I can see a scenario where City beat us in the Carabao, and noise gets further turnt up, just for us to go and win at the Ethiad. Exciting title race awaits!

Feels like some perspective is needed for the fanbase tonight.

Gap between 1st and 2nd in the top 5 leagues.

La Liga: 1pt
Ligue 1: 3pt
Serie A: 8pt but team in 2nd have a game in hand, so most likely be 5
Bundesliga: 6pt
Premier league: 6pt

Everybody tranquilo!

Bro, a lot of these bots are active today—imagine getting angry over scenarios that haven’t happened yet.

Hahaha bro, imagine being 6 up and somewhat thinking we have a worse "mentality" than the team that are 6 behind. The logic ain't "logicing". If we settle for draws, what does that tell you about the team being 6 behind?

Winners mentality my ass. Where was that when they picked up 0 trophies last season. Also, don't think now is the time to call out our strikers. I would be with you 2 months ago, but saying this about our strikers now is borderline crazy.

Stop shitting you pants, we are 6pts ahead with 13 to go. Have stronger squad and will win at the Ethiad. Pull your pants up buddy.

That would be so hilarious. Can't write it better.

Well I'm not annoyed, we are 6 pt clear and will win the league with ease. We will beat them at the Ethiad. Liverpools approach against us tells me everything I need to know.

Alisson poor all game, just gave them a nothing pen. Very Ramsdale esque today.

Thats Pools 8 loss this season. What frustrates me is how they approached the games against us. Slot know the media will suck him off as long as he don't loose against Arsenal.

There is litterly no bite in this game. All hugs and kunbaja, bunch of hugging in the tunnel. City have benifited from lulling Pool into "lets be friends" vibes. 6 PL titles to their 2.

Liverpool will lose this if they don't change something in the 2nd half. Being that open without getting any benefit of creating anything, is a suicidal mission. Just bring Salah off, put Wirtz false 9 and play Ekitike LW with Gakpo RW. Jones need to get on that pitch.

Tom! Your questions to Arteta since that United games has been top notch. Seems like Arteta respect you and Art more than the rest nowadays. I think he recognize those who are genuine and really wants to bring clarity to the fanbase and those who just chase click bait trash. Well done, much respect!

Very very intelligent player. I have a lot of time for Havertz!! We need to manage him, but so many people underestimated his value to us.

Thats it!! Way better balance today. Also, I have so much time for Havertz. He is on another level recognising and exploiting space. Top player!

Good win, the crowd was top today as well. That Broberry guy for Sunderland is by far the strongest striker I've ever seen. What a fucking machine, gave Saliba and Gabriell good work.

Martinelli and Eze looked too tired to even celebrate, both on their knees.

Martinelli was knackerd on Tuesday, he could barley celebrate the winner. Also think Martinelli is the only cover we have for Madueke, so kind of makes sense to get him on RW at some stage 2nd half

Jesus and Kai, complement each other so well. Playing Gyok today would only lean into Sunderlands strengths at the back. Jesus can draw them out, and Kai can make 3rd man runs, on paper it already looks like a very smart decision imo.

UTA!! Have sneaky feeling it's a Jesus CF + Kai RCM day. Also, Zubi almost scored twice against them away, so he might pop up with a goal. Will be tough and I am happy to take the scrappiest of 1-0 everyday of the week.
