“What I saw was a team totally deserving to be at the top end of the Championship. We outplayed Sheffield for most of the 90 mins. Brilliant performance. SAFC were the better team overall.”
“We played the top team away and battered them”
“Another day we win comfortably”
“Only ourselves to blame, battered them but couldnt hit a barn door constantly shooting wide or hitting legs, corners were dreadful and having dominated the supposed top side we go home with nothing , Final third play in last few games a concern, cant fault effort but should have got something tonight”
“They were at home and we outplayed them. It should have been 11 v 10 in our favour.. our sending off was a joke”
“Not to much to fret about. We bossed the top team in significant periods.”
“The lads were the better team but hey ho they’ll be games where they’ll play shite and win games.”
“How much did their team cost, how much did our team cost?! Do you want to compare wage bills? Wasn’t that midfielder 10m? How much was that loan fee, 2m?
Wednesday fans are absolutely right.
I bet Tom Davies is on more than Rigg, Bellingham and Neil all together and he came off the bench, the little rat.”
There should be very little joy or sense of achievement being promoted or winning games with parachute payments. It’s a monumental advantage.
“cheats who got away with-2 points. Complete disgrace.”
“Started on -2 because they cheated and still benefit from that now. they got a slap on the wrist.”
“Punishments should be far higher for cheats.
Instead they go up and get hundreds of millions in tv and parachute money.
-2 nowhere near enough.”
“thought they were shite, think they Will get promoted but they’re crap to watch bonnie lad football was the loser tonight”
“Sheff United will go up and get pummelled every week again. Funny old game at the minute.”
“We played some good stuff and great attitude but they got lucky and that’s the way it goes”
“I think the parachute payments help them get up, but mask the underlying problems which get exposed when they don’t have that financial advantage.”
“They have got a massive financial advantage.it didn’t show in the performance. Then they behave like that like it’s some huge achievement.
See how long Tom Davies lasts before he’s out again. Where was he last season when they were under the cosh?
he parachute payments are masking the problems and will be exposed when they go up next season when they are whipping boys without a financial advantage.
“They weren’t very good,”
” three points dropped against a mediocre team who were in the premiership last season. Other than their goal which to be frank we were weak defensively they were nothing special. We’re a decent top six side”
“The best team by a long way lost”
“They were lucky tonight lad. Outplayed.”
“Proof will be in the pudding, law of averages says Blades will start shipping a few in soon, given they arent the most prolific team that will give a window for others to exploit.”
“Tonight you wouldn’t know which team had the parachute payments for large parts of the game. But they brought a lad off the bench with over 150 premier league games under his belt. See ifWilder goes missing again when the going gets tough next season.”
“Wilder isn’t good enough for the top flight”
“How the are they top? Utter shit.”
“Just wait till that financial advantage is gone next season. They’ll get smashed to smithereens week in, week out again. The para payments mean they can have championship success without being well ran and it breeds complacency.”
“Their players were going on as if they’d won the cup
They weren’t owt special.”
“Shellshocked doesn’t go far enough to describe how I feel. I feel utterly numb and inconsolable right now.
I feel like I ought to flog the cheap tat that is Sheffield hallmarked silver that’s in my collection to make a point. That place has always made vastly inferior crap anyway. I hate that village in Yorkshire. I hate everything about it.”
“SAFC were the better team first half but Sheffield were in the second period.I have no complaints about tonight – the best side always wins”
“We were beaten by a far better side.We aren’t promotion material.
Leeds, Sheff Utd and Burnley are.”
“We weren’t beaten by a far better side. Given some of these so called better teams were playing in the premiership last season they’re still beatable by championship clubs”
“They have subs who can make a difference, we don’t.”
“Deserved all we got.
Best team in the first half but they were better in the second half. However you cant go around missing penalties and other clear opportunities and not expect a kick in the guts at the end. It always happens.”
“Our bunch of kids ran their lot ragged and they scored with one attack.
They’re celebrating like they’ve won the league.
Good luck for the rest of the season, they will need it.”
“The way Wilder treat Regis at the end, I would use that to ensure we absolutely demolish them in the return in a few weeks.
And if we win, I would celebrate like they did tonight, completely over the top.”
“Wilder is a gonk”
“Wilder conducts himself awfully,seems an arrogant man.”
“Lap of honour at the end like they’d won the league.”
“The lap of honour is very small time. Don’t the fans shy away from it? They have a huge advantage, it should be very easy, but they act like it’s a huge accomplishment.”
” They still circling Bramall Lane in the open top bus?”
“Thought the home fans were poor for most of the game, expected better tbh Friday night top of the table clash but they were dead”
We always do a lap on honour win, lose ,draw,respect for supporters! Ref was abysmal and gave everything to Sunderland in front of his eyes! Lino’s blind to out side lines! Back pass to goalie in front of ref …not given! We deserved to win . One good save from Sunderland and that’s why goalies fat( lack of exercise) , our super goalie x 10 of yours!! Corruption starts in premiership now! They want you up there to make Money playing Newcastle! No chance they’ll make money from Sheffield, as piggies won’t get there!!!
Parachute payements got Nothing to do with it…Over 3/4 of our Squad left in the Summer. Money was raised from this!
90% of comments by Sunderland fans is disappointing. You have a good young team there but with 5 draws before this game shows why you lost. You only lost 1-0 FFS and now it’s a Blades defense of 8 wins at home in a row and conceding zero goals.
Always in Newcastles shadow
Not bitter then? 🤣😐🤣
Will someone please send a memo to all clubs in this division, this is not the team that was in the premier league last season. Two out of eleven in the starting line up were in that squad that’s 20% give it a rest
They are going on about how young their side are. Don’t they realise we have a very young side as well. Also they say the battered us, and yet how many saves did Cooper have to make. Second half, after Seriki came on, we ran them to death.
Mackems rooering their way back up to Geordieland.
It’s a long, long time since one of our managers won the FA Cup for them.
You’d think they’d be grateful.
I watched half of our side in the U21s last season. Its not all about parachute payments.
