Fuck me rigid. Slags of Mounie but sticks up for the frigging smurf 🙄 Yup, one lacked effort in my view. And it wasnt Pritchard. You can’t be serious with that comment, right? You’re taking the piss, yeah? |

In fact, just for clarity.
Mounié: 26 goal involvements in 95 appearances for Town. 19 goals, 7 assists.
Pritchard: 6 goal involvements in 83 appearances for Town. 3 goals, 3 assists.
Neither set the world alight, but one of these lads is clearly the better footballer, worked harder, and is fondly remembered by the fans.

I’m with the Captain. It seems to me that booing a former player will do nothing to detract from his performance and if anything, encourage him to do better. I was disappointed that, unlike players at the end of the match who put on field activities behind them, the hostility intensified when he applauded us from a distance. Perhaps I have a different perspective as I live locally up here and a good friend who is a Sunderland supporter and closely involved with good causes, speaks very highly of Pritchard and his willingness to involve himself. I agree that he rather let us down and we didn’t get value for the fee paid, but I’m sure he didn’t set out to do a bad job and we should at least acknowledge his olive branch when the match is over. I'd left and its also miles away so this may be bollocks but according to the Sunderland forum he was doing 'make it rain' gestures not applauding.Which tbh amuses me, don't give it if you can't take it. This is exactly what he was doing. He was walking slowly off the pitch on purpose to which he was the last player on the pitch. At first he was revelling in it but as the abuse got louder and louder and more heated he started losing his head as he approached the tunnel, hence the "He's gonna cry in a minute" chants. Most Town fans were laughing at the pathetic little twat. |

The cyst wasn’t the problem. The medics were concerned that removing the cyst (the size of a grapefruit by all accounts), would have carried the risk of losing 40% of the blood from the Pritchard that was attached to the cyst. A grapefruit? Fucking Pritchard himself isn't much bigger than a grapefruit! It must've been like having Buster Gonad in the treatment room! |

Mounie did. Hence his stats would have been far better had we been able to provide him with some support. |

Think Slaps just fancies a row, we've all been in a decent mood recently so arguing on DATM has reduced. He's just a bit bored, if you're standing up for Pritchard with a straight face somethings gone wrong.

So what happened to the cyst that allowed him to play so many games for Sunderland? Did they remove it and give him gallons of blood afterwards? I have no idea about the medical condition I just always got the impression he was using it as an excuse. He was in and out of the team and seemed to struggle more ability wise than fitness wise. Another one who seems to play when it suits him. |

I can understand managers being frustrated by it.. a player unavailable especially if theyre using up a big chunk of the wage budget. But hes never struck me as the sort off player who wouldn't want to play if he could. Like I said, IMO he never hid in games even when it wasnt going for him. If you've got a cyst in your knee joint, then what is he supposed to do? Hobble through games? Im certainly not going to use Corboran as some sort of judge on commitment or repaying a clubs faith in you with dedication to the cause! The cyst that, it was reported at the time, he'd had all his career ? It wasn't something that had just occurred. so, if he had the Cyst all his career, we actually paid £10.000,000 for this Cyst ?. |

Mounie worked his socks off, always gave 110% effort too. Didn't sulk after relegation. Got on with it in the Championship. Pritchard, seen more effort from a nun in a brothel. |

If the ball was anywhere near Mounie's head then he was a fine forward, but he lacked the effort and commitment to get himself into the areas where he could score IMO. I found it really frustrating how many times we'd get in good positions out wide, put a decent cross in and Mounie would be slowly ambling into the area , practically marking their centre back rather than the other way round. Pritchard was very disappointing in what he gave us.. it wasnt anywhere close to the player I thought we'd signed.. but I dont remember thinking that he wasnt trying in any way. People cant seem to differentiate between being crap and not trying...its always been the same on here. |

Its funny how history gets re written to suit. there were big discussions on here about Mounies lack of effort at the time... lack of desire to get into scoring positions.. but now any suggestion he didnt work his socks off and give 100% is the most amazingly wrong thing anyones ever said!  |

How do you explain why all 4 sides of the ground used to sing “Ole, Ole, Ole, Ole, Ole - Mounie, Mounie” This is probably the loudest song about a player I’ve ever heard at our ground. Surely this wouldn’t have happened if he was poor? |

I can understand both arguments re: Mounie. I disagree with you but your point there isn't daft. Pritchard though.... There's debate whether Mbenza, Diakhaby Kongolo or him would rate as the worst signing we made in the PL era. Even if you consider him the best of the 4, the fact it's a debate at all is damning. To me this is someone who wasn't as good as I thought he'd be in his first half season (notwithstanding a great game vs Bournemouth) but was still decent enough, then downed tools. Wagner, Siewert, Hudson, Cowleys and Corberan couldn't get him to pull his finger out. |

Wagner, Siewert, Hudson, Cowleys and Corberan couldn't get him to pull his finger out. Im not saying Pritchard was any good. he was dreadful mostly for us.. a total waste of money. And Im not saying he was better than Mounie either. Just saying I never saw Pritchard as a player who wasnt giving 100%... whereas I always thought Mounie lacked that desire to get in the box and lose his marker ( and I certainly wasnt alone in thinking that at the time he was here ) He didnt want to score 'enough' and would have got many more than he did if he'd had that bit of desire. |

Alan, Alan was definitely tongue in cheek I think. It was defo tongue in cheek. Whilst he was well over the hill, one could not however fault his enthusiasm and commitment. Also do not underestimate the power of an Alice band or a bandanna in adding to a player's cult status. |
