Sunderland v Rock Bottom Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[LTA]

We're probably down now unless there's a miracle. In my opinion our last chance was lost when we turned our nose up to Moyes, but then again he'd have demanded a transfer/wage budget worthy of a club like Aston Villa and probably wouldn't have took the job.
What a shitfest Randy has turned us into. Shame on you.

Lerner is scum mate. Never have I seen someone completely abdicate responsibility for a club the way this charlatan has, you can see why he was mates with Colonel Blinky, fakes the pair of them.

I think Scum is a little strong,  but right about about hiding while the club falls down around him.

Garde, a cheese eating surrender monkey. This appointment was never going to work and can only have been made for one reason. He's cheap to employ. Left his previous job in France for personal reasons and hints that he couldn't take the pressure. Nothing to be ashamed of but not a glowing endorsement to get a job at the Arse end of the premier league is it.

That is despicable - So compared to the others he replaced he is " a cheese eating surrendering monkey"?  Get a grip. I am angry, and disappointed - yet this type of throw in the towel is out of order. Is it the managers fault a player throws a ball to the other team?

We may as well have kept Sherwood then.

For me - not really , because I am seeing tactical things that are an improvement (not result wise, i might add).

Your defence of Garde is understandable, the problem I have is that he seems to still be learning everything we already knew and he should have known about these players. It was crying out for a new approach, we have done pretty much the same both in tactics and personnel that we were doing before he came and getting the same results.This Garde team has no distinctive style or personality. Sadly he has achieved fuck all so there has been no point to his appointment.

Read that the players have received chants of "you're not fit to wear the shirt" as they got on the team bus

Whilst I've no doubt they would deserve it, but the chances of them being showered, changed, met all their media obligations, etc in half an hour is quite remote.

Video of it doing rounds on Twitter now so it's true.

He's making Hicks & Gillett look as though they knew what they were doing.

Where have all the 'we mustn't make it personal about that nice Mr Lerner' brigade disappeared to? Mind you, I'm glad they have disappeared

Nah, he's scum. An imbecile of the highest order that has organized a business structure that allows him to deflect all means of accountability.

What's his home address, I'd love to send him a hand-written.

That's where I am as well.  Yes the team is eye-bleedingly poor, but there's been no improvement in any section of the team at all.

Can't wait for Mr Fox's next statement.

Some new kind of plan, drawn up on a beer mat in the bar during half time at the Stadium of Light. Something about signing Stella or Artois or some French guy Cidre, he's not sure, it's all a bit of a mess and he can't quite read his own writing but the announcement is imminent.

[richard moore]

Yep, scum indeed

Do you? I think it doesn't even begin to do him justice

Garde post press conference sounds like he has given up already. He has had no effect whatsoever.

I think we have been conned yet again as I do feel a Pearson/Moyes would of done better even with this squad. I also believe Sherwood might be on more points. Moyes and Pearson have not been employed as I'm sure they wanted guaranteed money. Garde was the cheap option and yet again the fans have been hoodwinked.

Sherwood was given dogs for poor tactics etc and yes he made many errors and was perhaps not up to it but what has Garde done - the fans are almost just accepting of defeat now and lay it at the door of the players - whereas under Sherwood we pointed the finger at him.

I cant see another win and we might make about 15 points if we are lucky.

It is time for the fans to act now - we need to make a statement that we will not just accept this. Teams lose and teams get relegated but we are going down with an absolute whimper and that cannot be just accepted

[Villatillidie1982]

These aren't Garde's players. There was sign of genuine improvement until the Norwich game. Listened on the radio today. Well beaten by a poor Sunderland team. Where has the improvement gone? A poor side becomes a very poor side when players aren't available.

Richardson toddling off with his head phones on listening to self help, Sinclair on the phone? Who's he fucking calling, he's played for 5 minutes and just finished the match. Probably arranging a night out the gormless twat.

No players in shot and about 2 people singing.

[Stinkin_Thinkin]

When will Garde's honeymoon expire?


We were ragged under Sherwood but I truely believed we just needed an organiser to come in and tell the players where they should be when they had the ball and when without.

I thought 2nd half against Arsenal we had turned the corner getting an away point at newcastle but theres never been any momentum. Never picked the same 11.
The first time passing against man city in his first game is light years ago.

The last ten minutes today were embarrassing.
