What a balanced accurate  and eloquent analysis

Agreed, it reminded me of the match threads on here after a defeat.

I haven't seen it but does he say we're a fantastic club, playing in a great, historic stadium and that it's good to see us back at (near) the top?

No, none of that, which I was expecting to be fair. Just a fairly brief analysis of the game that was really complimentary to us and also maybe a view of some of our players that us hard task masters dont always have. For example, Watkins gave the best individual performance against them
All season (along with Cherki when they played Man City). Konsa and Mings handled Brobbey better than anyone this season, they (Sunderland) were really good, but we are an excellent top quality team etc etc

Fair play (and thanks for the summary!). It'll teach me to remember to never Cardinal Basil Hume. It makes a Cardinal B&H out of U and Me.

Fair and excellent summary - agree with the suggestion to be a pundit rather than the inane biased drivel we usually here on major platforms.

It makes you realise that genuine football fans see us as a very decent team and justifiably occupying a place in top of the league.

The right aquisitions in the summer and keep Kamara as fit as we can and i see a push for the title or to have a serious say in its eventual winners place
