So many people coming on to complain about our Swansea result. I agree that it was uninspiring, but we have to remember years ago when we were uninspiring in home games we would lose 4-1 to the likes of Bolton and Portsmouth. I just hope MON signs a few players who will produce a spark in games we look uninspiring in

safc to surprise all of us on Thursday
GRAHAM IS COMING!!!
a rb bid has gone in and awaiting response overnight - safc knocked back over jenkinson loan deal last week
downing is NOT coming
Bent is NOT coming
Carlton Coles name keeps cropping up but this WONT happen
we are NOT looking at foreign young strikers
Samba bid was in two weeks ago, QPR have offered him a fortune to help save them- oneil still waiting response as bid was accepted but player wants to get as much money as possible.
Scott Sinclair is another player who safc had put loan bid in for

Sinclair is not eligable to play for any team other than Man City or Swansea

Will everyone please get a grip. I think our fans must have an inherent problem where they aren't happy unless they have something to whinge about. We drew with a very good Swansea side, there is no disgrace in being outplayed by that team, were not the first this season and we certainly won't be the last. Our last few performances have been very encouraging but we aren't going to become a top half team overnight, big spending for short term success is definitely not the way forward, just ask boro. Mon is moving the club in the right direction and we all need to give him and the players our full support lm86

Unbelievable- I hope! I read on the Telegraph site that O'Neill is offering Wickham to Swansea in order to obtain his latest obsession. I hope that this is not true, because Graham is not half the player Wickham could be if he had someone who knew how to get the best out of him, and giving away talented young players for second rate older players is not a sensible strategy. If it true, then the sooner O'Neill goes the better.

Graham has scored 22 goals in a season and a half wichkam scored once . i rest my case . id have Graham anytime !

Wickham played about 30 mins in season and half. Get a grip you spud. Why pay 5m quid for a player to sit on bench.graham same type player as fletch if its not working you cannot bring on graham to change things around. We need somebody with different style

Cud we not bring graham on to play alongside fletcher !!?

Any supporters on here that actually support the team and support MON? Last nights performance was far from inspiring but we got a point from a team that is much, much better than us. Their team took a while to build and look where they are now.
We can't spend big money and big wages the only team that are doing that are QPR. We have to obviously be patient and get the right players.

Chill out and support your club.

Your argument would find more support if there were signs that, whatever the results, the team was actually improving, and the football we play was getting better. But it is not. Even if we were in the top half many fans would not be satisfied with the dismal, restricted, defensive approach O'Neill has brought to the team. The results have not been very impressive, but the way we have played has been even less impressive. Personally, having seen O'Neill's conception of the beautiful game, I cannot believe we could be worse off without him- he reminds me of Alan Brown's second spell here, when we played our worst football of the 20th century. O'Neill is setting new lows for the 21st.

Behave - we were heading for the Champioship when MON took over ....very short memory.

When MON has his own team he will rise or fall by that team . mind he should have cleared the deadwood out last summer !

The fans who booed Graham should be ashamed of themselves I was embarrassed to be a Sunderland supporter when that happened ..narrow minds !

I might be wrong here...but might MON be using the danny graham thing as a distraction so he can sneak other signings in

Those fans who booed should be banned . .did they boo Bramble ?

O'neil's tactics and the way his teams perform make Bruce look like a genius. AJ? Absolute pants, why do you think no other premier club wanted him? A big wages drain like Brown and O'shea. 1 shot on target in 90 mins AT HOME tells everyone that Mon is a has been boring manager.

It was Bruce that brought in Brown and O'Shea .

Well at least Bruce plays 4-4-2 MONS football is BORING !

Either ye a mag gloating which is acceptable or a sunderland fan who is pathetic

Actually Liverpool were desperate for him but we beat them to it lm86

I would rather draw 0-0 than lose 4-3. It's amazing how many fans come on here to complain after a poor performance rather than coming on here to praise after a good performance

AJ did ok, what your so bitter about we got a point off a good side, can't win them all and under bruce we would of lost that, now keep your negative twisting to yourself!

Swansea have only lost 4 games away from home in the league- 2 of them defeats were against teams in the top four. We all saw how they stopped Chelsea from playing with all the creative talent they have. A point is a good result against a very strong team.

1 shot on target AT HOME in 90 mins shows what Mon's tactics are all about!

But not even one shot on goal from open play is not acceptable for a team who are playing in front of a big (money spending) home crowd. They should be handing the fans their money back. The reason we need defenders so badly is our midfield is not creative or strong enough which means we are always under pressure.
Steve

Never mind the excuses- if we can't beat Swansea at home- and I might add if we are losing games to the likes of Aston Villa and Bolton and Middlesboro and can't beat QPR either, then neither the team nor the manager can escape responsibility. We are not good enough off the pitch, which is why we are not good enough on the pitch. O'Neill has had massive support on this site despite the pathetic progress the team has made under his management- every point is greeted as new dawn and people seem ready to forget that he has regularly put out teams whose performances have been so bad they are embarrassing. Time to accept the obvious; he is no bloody good. Maybe there was a time when he could do it, but all the evidence is that here and now he can't do it any longer. He is completely clueless, and the sooner we get rid of him the better.

Clueless MON? I'd like you to be our manager and you will get us relegated, least you forget it is still mainly bruces team there apart from Fletcher, Mangane, N'diaye and Johnson.

Plus cuellar saha mcfadden all past it no tactical knowledge useless without robertson no improvementmon out in 12 months says it all

And who would you suggest replace him? Lm86

The test will be against Reading I just hope we will and should beat them !

along with the daft lads from the toon on here. who actually expected a classic game last night against a side who are fast becoming a top six sides and before you say anything not many sides will go to arsenal and chelsea not conceded (solid at the back) and score 2 goals this season (michu buy of the season). we are in the process of improving a side that mon inherited from sb which in a lot of fans eyes is taking to long as I keep reading on here we are badly in need of a new rb fair enough if we can get someone in like rose this will only help aj game who at the moment is lacking someone to link up with so lay off the lad as the old saying goes cream always come to the top. mon is a good manager who will turn our club around but don't expect miracles it will take time and patience. so hopefully with a couple of good signings today or tomorrow we will continue on an upward curve and if we do sign danny graham then I think the genuine sunderland fans will get behind the lad and hopefully he can do what a lot of people on here said fletcher wouldn't do and score goals. so if you want the club heading in the right direction get behind mon and the signings he makes irrespective of who they support and where they come from.

Yes but if we are to be or become a big club we should be burying these teams paticually at home!..Swansea are a good side but they are not Arsenal or Manchester United

No they beat arsenal at the emirates
