Rivals Watch Thread

And Southampton aren't all that. Sunderland making them look bang average.

 

Goodness what a competitive league this is.

 

Southampton aren't going to do as well as you'd imagine based on this performance, they've got a touch of the "We're superstars and just need to turn up" about them.

 

It will be a great achievement just surviving this season, but anyone can beat anyone else if they discover some form.

 

Hopefully we find some today. All is not lost yet. 

 

Hmm, Xisco though.

Could be a cricket score against them today

We caught Southampton at the worst possible time when they still had their top players.

Sunderland looking very, very, good btw.

I think there's a clear gulf of quality between 24th and the rest of the table.

Classic Mowbray side. 

 

They'll hammer Saints, play brilliant football and then lose to Millwall.

Lol.

 

Probably.

 

Coupon busters!

Sunderland winger Clarke. Excellent player. Valued at £12million apparently and Sunderland just sold a striker for £10million too.

 

Which two players have we got worth £22million?

 

This is what we're up against and Sunderland aren't even promotion hopefuls!

 

What a gulf. And Mr C says Top 6.

If we don't start picking up points soon there'll be no rivals to watch.

If the teams just above us get 3+ points in front then I see us staying rooted to the bottom all season.

Good news, they’ve arrived at Elland Rd and are now parking the bus in front of the goal.

Bad news, Chansiri’s driving.
