I know, goodness knows how Barnes missed that open goal in the first half.

We got a point which helped us stay up that's all I need to know. Maybe if we'd got beat 4.3 you might have been more satisfied.

What were you expecting last season one touch football and a challenge for Europe?

Not that I agree with the other posters post but momentum definitely exists. You're crazy if you think otherwise. Some of the craziest comebacks in history (Liverpool v Milan) momentum absolutely exists.

Nope, I was expecting football, not crapball.

Which is why I included the part in brackets, as he meant it, ie carrying over from one game to the next.

You were expecting a thriller between bottom of the table Sunderland and Burnley?

I can only attribute it in part to the lack of signings that 'give that feel good factor'. That game cost us 3 points against relegation rivals and heaven forbid if we'd gone down that would, IMO have been a major contributory factor. I appreciate it's not easy but it's always better to do transfer activity early.
Did we manage to sign anyone prior to the second game against Liverpool ? The atmosphere that day was electric..and the ground was rocking.and we got 3 points.

Just saying.

No doubt you'll correct me again, but I'm sure that negotiations can take place from June 9th but players can't sign on the dotted line until July 1st.[/quote]
Players can sign on the dotted line right now - but the contract won't start until tomorrow.

A thriller? No. Something better than I could watch on Townley Park on a Sunday. Yes.

Having had the pleasure of a 600 mile round trip to watch that turgid shite, yes, I wish it had been better.....

That's not true at all - that only applies to players coming out of contract.
