Sunderland vs. Manchester United

At least we have only 45 minutes of football left to confirm our fate, can't wait until this weekend is over either way I am getting off my tits on booze tonight.
 
Good performance so far, playing very well.

From an Irish perspective, really hope O'Shea is ok.
 
Paddy Kenny is shit, wanker.
 
Funny thing is there were a fair few on here at the beginning of this thread distraught at Jones on ahead of Rafael

Probably one of the best away performances we've had in quite a while. Could have scored at least 3 goals and Rooney might have had a first half hattrick on another day. Phil Jones has been the star of the show so far though. Back to full fitness it seems and he is just galloping down the pitch at will. Great cross from him to create the first goal as well.

BBC Radio 5 live summariser Danny Mills at the Etihad Stadium

"Bolton's goal is not good news for Manchester City. QPR have got to change their formation and change their style in the second half. They're heading out of the Premier League."

Why isn't it good news for City? QPR will have to attack, that will play right into City's hands.
 
If we win the league this year I wont give up hope on us winning the league in 1992.

Not really. Do you want QPR to put 10-men behind the ball and make no attempt at winning the game instead?
 
Sunderland fans "we support our local team", how original.

More of a threat than sitting back and letting City have all the ball despite being a goal down.. isnt it?
How many doesnt matter.. Any win for City will do. and they are winning.

A bit unfair to judge Jones on a few performances right after coming off a lengthy layoff.

I don't think there is another teenage defender on the planet that is capable of what Jones is doing. Maybe that alaba kid from bayern but thats probably about it.

We've got a real special player on our hands.
 
In the last 10 minutes too I'd like to add.

I wonder if its a coincidence that Jonny Evans hasn't made an appearance since after that match.

He was injured...and is playing today...
 
We need a second , good so far but that team will tire heavily in the later minutes. Hope we get a second early in the second, or else I see this being a 1-1 .
 
Would've bitten your hands off if you offered me this position this morning. We're leading and playing well, QPR have everything to play for. God be with us.

Yeah, if only Kenny didn't make such a poor effort we would be sitting pretty.
 
Great save but another wasted chance.
 
What's wrong with Rooney's finishing today? :(

Guess he doesn't want that golden boot.
 
Shit, Rooney misses, we are playing good one touch football, yet we need to fecking finish. If we scored all our chances, we might just have won this 9-0.
