You don't get relegated because of what you do in trips to the Emirates, but that was nowhere near what we've come to expect from a Gus Poyet Sunderland side, albeit against a concise and effective Arsenal. Next league game isn't until the middle of March, hoping against hope that our position doesn’t deteriorate too much in the meantime.

Worst weekend ever. First, Hamburg stuff Dortmund like they always do, even though they're hilariously rubbish and haven't kept a clean sheet since the Keegan era. Needless to say, perfect preparation for a trip to Zenit St. Racistsburg. But then Villa somehow manage to the lower tone further with a charmless, guileless, pigheaded second half display against a team that haven't scored since Jimmy Nail last topped the charts. Never mind Grant Holt, Michelle McManus would have offered better movement upfront than Benteke today. Two weeks off, warm weather training in Portugal and they play like a hungover pub side. Its a disgrace.

So what is your take on Taarabt? Based on his first few Milan games he is pretty decent. His EPL and championship lack of goals/games were purely attitude and not skill issue?

 

He's alright but a 'streaky' player by default. Questionable attitude for sure though in England he was pretty much solely managed by old school hard cases that were probably never going to get the best out of him.

A magnificent performance in the first half and a spirited effort in the second, but in the end, it wasn't to be. Proud of Gus and the lads for the superb feat of getting there, and proud that it took goals of such majestic quality to beat us. Playing like that against anyone else, perhaps even against City on another day, we'd have absolutely walked it.

 

Time to concentrate on the league now (and various other cliches!).
