Fernando

Apart from the goal against West ham he has been a shade of his earlier self. Maybe needs some rest.

Yes but because of stupid Ivanovic we don't get it because we are now associated as divers!

Clear example of penalty where we don't get it because of all the diving in the past. Thanks a lot Ivanovic!

Ivan is stupid because of the reputation he's getting as a diver will cost us later. When he gets foul for real say in the quarter finals of the CL and we don't get the call because he's a habitual diver, then it will be his fault for his image. Stupid Ivan.

I can't believe it, Ex-blues. Oh how I dreamt this moment

Wow I thought no one was going to get sack before the year finish.

We should buy Charlie Austin for our English quota. ? Good enough to be our second striker.

Men this QPR is the most frustrating team to watch. Austin might be better then he actually is, scoring all those goals in such a horrible team.

2 to 1. Sets up for a nice finish.

Oh this game now got interested, red on giroud.

Did you forget last season how everyone was scared of City and us going to play them at the Etihad? I think even some of our fans gave that match as a lose before the game started. But Mourinho put an amazing game plan and we won 1 to 0. A few days later we faced City again in the FA Cup, but this time we got dispatch easily. What changed? Mourinho said that it was not easy facing the best team in the league in such a short period of time. Their quality back then was much more then ours. Now imagine poor old Sunderland. Having their games of their life and expect that same level against another tough opponent.....your asking for a lot men.

Not a one-of but an example of the concept. I guess you want less quality team like Stoke beating city at their home? That I think of Stoke has giving city a much harder time then us. Stoke are to City what Newcastle are to us. Each team has their bogey team if you want to call it that. But even then I will sympathize with Sunderland because it's hard to use the same tactics back to back. It's like last year we had an amazing game at the etihad and then just got dispatch easily at the FA Cup against city. So you got to understand its not easy to use the same tactics to perfection back to back, especially when theirs a big difference in quality.

No but tell me if the team is playing amazing do you think a derby would make a difference in their qualities? To me the point still stand. At times you might have a team play amazing and at times they will play like crap.

It's a perfect example of how a team can play amazing one game and play like crap another game. So yes nothing more to say.

And that's what I been saying. Case close!

The main thing you said here is played good football. And then you forgot that City tend to have more control of the game then us. I mean look at the last time we play them, we was crap against 10 men...That was a pathetic day.

Liverpool scored out of nothing. It has been really a poor game from them, but that goal came out of Sterling brilliance.

I bet you that when they face Stoke away they will have a hard time. And their fans will say, how Stoke bend over to us but play their hearts out to them? It's just relative men.

What a great Christmas present this Torres news is. It seems that for once everyone is happy.

Well that's that then, City and United won. Gonna watch the Liverpool match and see how "great" they are playing.

Giving that Southampton also play today, they will be as tired as us. We have the better squad are in better form so in theory should be an easy game.

Nobody should follow what Mourinho says. We all know he is a big time liar, and all the stuff he says is take attention from the team and put it on himself.

Exactly, some people are here are really cringeworthy. Do they even think before they say anything?

But I'm sure the other team can say the same exact thing. Like how West Ham would bend over and play the hardest against them. It happens to every team.

Wow great game from the guys. I thought this game was going to be much harder then it was, but the guys did amazing. Hopefully we can continue like that till the festive period. Southampton should be no problem. Spurs might be a bit hard at their home, but if we play like today we can win all of them.
