Mud mud mud everywhere and one goal down.

this game is crap

god damn this ground is bad, the balls not moving, crosses stopping....

ẁorst sunderland team of all time.

if this game gets any slower the will fall asleep.

TIME TO DROP SOME OF THIS TEAM TOO MANY DEAD WEIGHTS.

15 minutes to go and still playing like shit, they are not even trying.

This pitch is fucking shock, the sunderland can't contorll the ball in thick mud like this, the FA should have made them replace the pitch, you really can't play football on mud like this game is being made to play.

I think parts of the pitch have been made worst by the club, known the Sunderland team would have trouble playing the passing game on waterlogged mudholes.

fucking shit Gus Poyet needs to go!

who can stop da bantams from winning da fac up?

That second Bradford goal is incredible, there's four Sunderland players all doing something stupid in a prefect sequence.

Why are lower league fans so entitled

That ended up a lot shitter than it looked like it was going to be.

>>16
Blackburn beating Stoke or Bradford beating Sunderland should be considered upsets.

Well everyone has forgotten about the Chelsea 2 - 4 Bradford games.
