Let's not overlook the respectful and sporting applause the Sunderland contingent gave Willie before kickoff.

Sort of the bare minimum you’d expect, really.

I was also surprised by how quiet they were considering their numbers.

Swizzlestick

Some pressure on United and Amorim next week now.

Swizzlestick

Slightly critical of the signing but it’s only fair to say he played well yesterday. Decent save in the first half and generally looked comfortable and commanding, except for one slightly off punch out later on.

Swizzlestick

It wasn’t too bad but now have a longer walk and takes longer to get off. Liked the pre match music. The goal music was, as it always is, dreadful and tinpot.

Swizzlestick

Usual story. The proper fans are realistic and good to talk to today. The gobby newcomers online were arrogantly caught out and learned a few realities about Premier League football.

Swizzlestick

Fantastic performance, won everything.

Swizzlestick

He was alright first half. Second half, pretty anonymous. Not good at all for our second goal.

Swizzlestick

Just seen a 5 for Foster and I wonder if I watch the same game.

Dubravka 7
JBL 6
Walker 8
Ekdal 9*
Esteve 8
Hartman 7
Cullen 9
Ugochukwu 8
Hannibal 7
Anthony 8
Foster 8

Sonne 6
Laurent 7

Nuno has just done a press conference where he's basically confirmed the relationship with the owner has considerably broken down.

While I'm no fan of Marinakis, they have spent quite a bit, despite losing Elanga, so his comments about the squad are slightly odd.

Swizzlestick

Hope nobody was paid good money for that rebranding, beacuse it's one of the dullest I've ever seen.

Swizzlestick

Wasn’t as convinced by the signing as most seemed to be on here and that remains the case.

Swizzlestick

Visitors commanding vacant beds and having races around the corridors. Taking anything that they could get their hands.on, tubes, blankets, towels, bedlin, patients food, clothes etc etc. As somebody who has spent a lot of time on hospital wards, mainly with my partner or daughter, I have never see...

Swizzlestick

He was that rubbish he somehow conspired to get into the PFA Championship team of the year. Must have been paid off by the Kosovan Mafia.

Swizzlestick

I don’t mind the guy as much as some on here, but it really did seem like he was encountering these names for the first time yesterday, which is incredibly amateur and unprofessional.

Swizzlestick

Sunderland were the lowest scorers in the top 6 last season - can’t imagine they’ll be radical shift in emphasis from their manager.

Swizzlestick

He’s totally out of order for calling the guy out by name. It’s his livelihood and if a player wanted to use his services, that’s down to the player. Injuries can happen at any time. Looks like Josh Brownhill and Armando Broja have worked with him so he’s clearly well regarded.

Swizzlestick

We’ve done alright overall so far but that goal a reminder what quality players can do in a split second. Class from Pedro

Swizzlestick

Walker’s class is very evident.

Swizzlestick

Aye good showing so far. Lots of positives.

Swizzlestick

Very good signing especially if this updated quoted figures are correct. Big increase in physicality in the team this year, good to see.

Swizzlestick

I wouldn't be too cocksure about that whilst there's time. Fair enough if the interest remains solely with leicester but I've got a feeling as targets are missed & the TW draws nearer he'll get picked off by somebody he's good enough as a bench option for a mid to lower PL team. Cocksure about what...

Swizzlestick

You get the impression his agents have been writing cheques that they can't cash. The only club I've seen with concrete interest are Leicester but that would just be a bizarre move consider he had a Premier League contract on the table for him.

Swizzlestick

Solid signing for a season, I suppose. We definitely needed a legitimate #1. I don't know why but I just don't share everyone else's delight. For some reason, I didn't fancy him at all. I saw him as a bit lightweight, at times, in the limited amount I saw him last 5 or 6 years. Glad to be wrong. I ...

Swizzlestick

Steve doing the hard sell too, what a guy.

Welcome Lesley!

Swizzlestick

Glad our players are ambitious if anything. The link to the full quote is here, which I imagine has also been translated from Dutch. https://sportwitness.co.uk/burnley-sign ... o-manager/

Swizzlestick

Mixed reviews from Saints fans though they were a bit of a basket case.

Swizzlestick

Yeah, he was a different player after the World Cup in Qatar. A massive shame because he was electric for us before that.

Swizzlestick

What a mess. Club is being run into the ground.

My step lad plays for one of the Rylands kids teams, good little set up they have there

First team managed by Neil Reynolds and assistant Mike Faulkner who were previously at FC United of Manchester. Know Mike well, top guy.

Inevitable after his training ground scrap with Connor, wish him all the best, he made a real effort to understand the area and people.

Is this common knowledge??

All the best to him - took the time to learn about and respect the town and club.

Stuggart fans seem to rate him as a squad player but they think they have our pants down for the fee.
Their manager is heavily focusing on youth which explains his involvement there.
He's probably a bit better than Anthony.

They think they’ve had our pants down for a fee of €4m??

Swizzlestick

Please can someone explain what has or hasn't happened? ELO cancelled tonight’s gig at the very last minute. Jeff Lynne had been struggling with an injury sustained a few days ago and couldn’t play the guitar properly last night. Probably a step too far for somebody pushing 80 to perform tonight to...

Swizzlestick

No I'm not being stupid at all. I'm making a point that people went to hear the band and we're not distracted by social media crap we now have. And yes I'm well aware of when the mobile phone was invented. I wouldn't say most are 'distracted' - people just want to film a significant moment in their...

Swizzlestick

The fact there was only one track (ok, two if you include ****** in the Bushes) from a post Be Here Now album tells you everything you need to know about what they think of their later output. Which is a shame, because songs like The Importance of Being Idle, Gas Panic, I''m Outta Time and Falling D...

Swizzlestick

Wasn't he quite a decent player at Swansea? Main issue seemed to be that he’d had some run ins with Russell Martin, the manager at the time. Sometimes a signing doesn’t work out.

Swizzlestick

Simply devastating news. A top footballer, who I loved watching play, and somebody who came across as a humble family man.

RIP Diogo and Andre

Swizzlestick

I couldn't hear that (Keith in Firestarter) - must have been well down in the mix. The song's so well known they don't need the vocals to be honest, people just fill it in in their head. Yeah, should clarify, there's only Keith's vocal excerpts when they're showing the big light tribute to him duri...

Does someone else do vocals for the songs that Keith Flint used to lead sing on or do they just do other songs?

Maxim fills in with the vocals. Though they kept Keith’s original vocals in on Firestarter as a tribute.

Swizzlestick

Great set but Out of Space deserves more than a minute or whatever that was! That was my only criticism really - thought they moved on a bit too quick from Firestarter and No Good (Start the Dance) too. They undeniably know how to put on a show though and you’re guaranteed a great time.

Swizzlestick

Trying to process the fact Maxim is 58 years old.

Swizzlestick

Surprised there hasn’t been a mention for the 1975 yet. Matty Healy is a deliberately provocative and arrogant frontman, and will definitely divide taste, but thought their set was actually very good. Raye has a great voice, but none of the tunes really hit like you want them to. Ends up coming acr...

That's a feeble excuse. If you're good enough, you don't need guests and gimmicks.

It’s not an excuse - I’m just saying a solo headliner set can be improved with a few guests especially considering a number of her tracks are duets. A good number of headliners have done it.

A bit of a potty mouth, isn't she?

I think she’s overcompensating for being from Cambridge.

The slower tracks have sounded better in this set I think. It’s a shame she hasn’t had any guests because it’s difficult for a solo act to headline just on their own.

Swizzlestick

I like Charli xcx but this is all very going through the motions so far. Some heavy lip synching too. Shame Lorde couldn’t stick around for the duet.

Swizzlestick

Ezra Collective fantastic on the Other Stage right now

Swizzlestick

I’m afraid I don’t really get Self Esteem.

Don’t mind The 1975, but Christ he’s hard work.

Biffy Clyro and Franz Ferdinand were both good value and I’ll probably catch Busta Rhymes’ set later.

Swizzlestick

It was on a post with all his fitness work. It’s only the Marcus Edwards ‘writing emoji’ comment that has everyone speculating. Seems highly likely that is a reference to the keyboard warriors who enjoy having an unfair pop, rather than a mew contract (unless it is with someone else). Probably not ...

Swizzlestick

Frank was appointed in the Championship with a strong team at that level though. He’d also managed previously in Denmark. This seems much riskier - big players leaving, including the captain, and bringing in a guy with zero managerial experience, who wasn’t even assistant last season.
