Bring back the Olympics !!



After watching Sunderland defend for 87 minutes out of 90 and then Newcastle offer little I am bored of football already.
Even moreso, I am bored of the negativity after just one game.

I want 20 different sports on at the same time, with little understanding of what is going on in half of them.

Thank the lord for Eurosport!

Sunderland RUFC, defending the try line under the posts

It has been an underwhelming start after such a big build up

Did you expect them to run at our defenders OP?

the thing is mate, lesser teams will come to the stronger teams and look to defend and catch the better teams on the break.

Thats tactics...

its down to the better team to figure something out and win the game... thats why you are a better team in theory...

Yes. Of course. The closest they came to a shot in the second half was when Saha was set to shoot from the centre circle!

But they didn't. They came to defend. Full stop. Never attempted to break. Worse teams have come to the Emirates with more intention and won.
