Sunderland v Man City
Sunderland 1 - 2 Manchester City
Another encouraging display, another discouraging result, the 33,000 odd fans were treated to some good attacking football marred by some poor finishing touches, with loan signing Anthony le Tallec ("Metallic") getting on the wrong side of the home fans. He ought to have had at least three goals!
Mick McCarthy in his post match email bemoaned the lack of finishing finesse whilst City's manager Stuart Pearce acknowledged that his team were outplayed for 90 minutes but was prepared to accept the result.
In other news Christian Bassila, the giant defensive midfielder, signed a two year contract after the "will he won't he saga" involving French side Auxerre.
I was unable to be at the match, because of medical concerns, but was able to see the second half using broadband internet streaming t.v. The match was broadcast by ESPN with full English commentary, and I used Coolstreaming, a p2p programme that improves in clarity as more seeders join in. Coolstreaming and PPLive are becoming hot favourites for watching live sports, you can download the programmes from this site, and get to grips with upcoming matches, as well as finding links to other streaming t.v. services.If you are ever looking for a link for an audio commentary of your favourite match, try this site.
The next match away at Wigan Athletic on Saturday now becomes even more important as the search for points continues, despite much better performances, confidence will only grow with a win under our belt!
