Sunderlands went up at like midnight on Saturday.

I noticed the highlights on ifollow no longer have commentary which Im sure they had last season. However watching the broadcast version which has the radox commentary is very good and you realise how good Nathan and the team are at painting the picture. Having watched the penalty about 5 times I finally realised it wasnt a pen but was a totally unneccessary challenge. Some other decisions were far more contentious but overall was a very encouraging performance from the team COYY

Mmm I understand what you are saying. But I will never like my team cheating. Is that an age thing? Does everybody these days think that we should do it?

Dont know about age, but I can’t stand it either. I also really struggle with the obvious diving in the box. I’m a bit conflicted when it’s oxford, but it came home to how much I dislike it recently watching manu’s bright young things diving, rolling about and instantly recovering while playing in a bloody friendly. It’s frustrating to see some of it on Saturday from oxford. The windups and sledging are all good though

Oxford United fan threw bottle 'from top tier of stadium' and hit woman below

Some sneering tough guy on here was having a go at me for objecting to this. Said he wanted the old football culture back, when men threw bottles at women

How Jack Ross can stop time-wasting as Sunderland's opponents revert to usual tricks

Did you notice the first thing that Oxford United did upon taking the lead on Saturday? That’s right. They wasted time.

Yet another critique from last Saturday in the Sunderland Echo - the first thing we did after scoring through Fosu was to go for another
goal but Dickie’s header was disallowed!
