Sunderland v West Brom (15:00 GMT)

Lee Cattermole plays his first match of 2015 for Sunderland after knee and groin injuries. Striker Jermain Defoe also returns after missing the FA Cup defeat to Bradford.

Africa Cup of Nations, is also on the bench but Victor Anichebe (groin) is out.

Sunderland XI: Pantilimon, Vergini, Reveillere, O'Shea (c), Brown, Cattermole, Larsson, Johnson, Alvarez, Graham, Defoe.

West Brom XI: Foster, Dawson, McAuley, Lescott, Brunt, Morrison, Fletcher, Yacob, Gardner, Ideye, Berahino.

It's full autism but when I'm watching sunderland games I much prefer being on 4ct sports with junk food and a split screen than being with m8s or my gf.

that was last men, ref needs to send the west brom player off.

Remember back when people actually posted on /sports/? That was good.

Just got an idea. How about we make soccer alive again?

whats that youtube thing where theres just sounds or people talking or something weird. a relaxation thing

I'm surprised people are finding out about the ASMR now, I remember this being popular in Japan with the waifus last year. Or something like that, I have a bad perception of time. Anyway, I'm surprised this is getting in the west.

Gus Poyet's English is horrendous, especially considering he came to England in the 90s

Neither team can handle the condition of the pitch, so nothing is coming from either attack.

It's just awkward collisions and slips all around.

god this game is shite

You don't get anyone who can score a goal for less than 30m and they need a couple of players. They're not getting anywhere. They'll sell their defence to buy, the striker will be shit and they'll now have a relegation tier defence.

Blunderland vs Wet Bum sounds boring as fuck, I've only got the radio but nothing seems to have happened.

fuck off linesman that was fucking on-side the cunt.

Surprise surprise off side when its not!

Sunderland could be playing until 10 today and we won't score.

>>15
Or stay onside apparently.

>>16
He was level though.

half time
literally no goals anywhere

Nice sport

This Sunderland defending

the replays show that the west brom player handled the ball in the pen box not graham, this fucking ref, shit.

god west brom are shite.

hell Vergini that looked in.

>>23
lol this guy

Sunderland AFC rekt hard by refball.

Sounds like we (Sunderland) are having a few good chances at least.

>>27
Yeah, I live 20 minutes walk from the SoL. How close do you live to your team's stadium?

sunderland given the ball away again, and after the last two games as well.

>>28
20 minutes on Google Maps maybe.

what the fuck wickham you can't play the longball when nobody is in the box!

Is there actually an anti-sunderland conspiracy or am I just butthurt?

jesus fuck Sunlun

>>28
If you ever went to Sunderland you'd be murdered for not being an a white boy.

>>32
you already know the answer

>>34
Honestly, the things I've seen here make me realise how nice even the worst parts of Sunderland are.

west brom time wasting now....

flec slaped, again!

Point's a point I suppose.

>>36
The way people talk about Sunderland they would think it something like the Bronx or something, not someplace in England with very little crime.

Who's fault was it this time Gus, exactly?
