See Mowbray was moaning about the extra time rule after their game, our gaffer the opposite. 

Know which manager I would rather have now 🙂

Imagine his comments would have been very different if Sunderland had scored rather than hit the woodwork at the death.

According to their forums they haven't kept a clean sheet at home since Feb - I'd be focusing on that rather than added time.

This place is an oasis of calm and rationality in comparison to that forum…

Biggest problem with the RTG forum is that they don't have consistent threads, people just constantly start new ones about the same topic. There must be hundreds of threads about Mowbray alone. Absolute mess.

[Mattyblue]

Just as bad are those that have each reply to a thread cascading further across the homepage, Luton’s for example. 😵‍💫

40 minutes seems low. I saw a table in one of the papers not too long ago showing Premier League teams average ball in play time. City were top at 65 ish, Newcastle bottom at 58 ish. 

I had a look and haven't found it yet but I did find this; Premier League in play 2012-2023

It shows the in play average is about 56 minutes. Surely the Championship is similar, or I'd wager even higher.

No contradiction there. Depends who you're reading I suppose.

That's a really old message board system. I remember sites using it in the late 90s.

Mowbray was complaining that no extra time was added on to the 13 minutes of original added time when subs had been made and injuries occurred in that 13 minutes. I agree with him.

Also watching his interview made me feel a bit nostalgic   nauseous.

[Sweaty Gussets]

 The PNE plastics hosted a Liverpool friendly tonight. The fucking shame of it🙂 

[Mattyblue]

Hosting a friendly when your season has already kicked off… now that is smalltime 😬

Though I’m sure the actual plastics of Preston will have enjoyed watching ‘their team’ for once.

They did though? 13 mins added ran to at least 15.

With the signings made this summer and less bad luck with injuries,  Sunderland should be serious promotion prospects this season 

However, the management team does not seem to have learnt from its setbacks at Ewood.

Too many young lads on the pitch and too many old farts off it.

I couldn't help but chuckle when I watched Sunderland the other day, with Mowbray and Venus running the show.

Give me our guy any day of the week!

The sheer world weary, downbeat personna of Tony can't be inspiring to be around.

JDT is like Des O'connor, to Mowbray's Sinead

I know it's not strictly championship (although both clubs are), but if anyone wants an excellent example of fannying around with it at the back, check out huddersfield's first goal vs boro in the cup. A good 9/10 on the pissing about with it meter..

To be fair I think we had a couple of 11/10s last year.

Thank you for sending me down a Morecambe and Wise rabbit hole 😂😂😂

Hamer likely off to Sheff United. Wonder who Contry will Go after. 

[Mars Rover]

Coventry haven't looked anything special today but Middlesbrough have been abysmal. They have very little goal threat and have looked calamitous at the back, topped with a quintessential Lenihan OG.

Lots of work for Carrick, it would seem.

[chaddyrovers]

Boro are missing the quality of Giles, Archer, Akpom and Ramsey. They have 3 quality loan signings there but Akpom's future needs sorting. They are another club like us who needs a striker signing along with several other teams

No win in 7 Championship games. 

Tough league. 

[Armchair supporter supremo]

A Armstrong already back in the goals now he's back at his level (and that's not a dig! He's a brilliant player in this league and it's not like it's an easy league)

A couple of Ipswich mates texting me asking if the league has really dropped in quality this much since they were last in it. They dominated Stoke at home today.

The correct answer is YES

I simply said we were a top half team with Mowbray as manager and Gallagher playing on the right wing. Enough said.
