Anybody else sleep terribly last night?

The worst ever - My week of nights.
Awake now though.
Morning everybody!

Today is dragging so much that Iv actually gone to the gym the kill time

I put a shift in at the allotment.

 

[mmttww]

I hear Kier Starmer wants to dim the sun.

Did someone just overhear him ordering food at a Chinese restaurant or intercept his Deliveroo order? Bloke likes dumplings, becomes "Kier Stalin wants to block out the nearest star!".

 

[Saddlebrains]

How come saddle hasn’t given the team yet and annoyed everyone

Even i wont post team news everywhere for a game of this magnitude

Not until at least gone 4pm anyway

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Even if wont post team news everywhere for a game of this magnitude

Not until at least gone 4pm anyway

Quite right

After 4? That's good

That gives Dovin another 2 and half hours to recover.

I just told two friends about Coventry and they agreed to watch. I’m still in Florida for work until tomorrow. Hoping I can have enough friends turned supporters to have a watch party next week and for the match at Wembley

 

[David O'Day]

Based on nothing but a feeling

Wilson
MVE - Thomas-Kitching-Bidwell
Grimes - Sheaf
Saka-Rudi-Wright
Simms

Just think FL sees BTA as better off the bench

Let's hope we turn it on tonight so you can keep spreading the word.

Thing is if they score early on, crazier things have happened than them pulling it back.

Yup. It's just about all over, but imagine if Bristol scored in the first 5 mins. Then it could get interesting

What will you be able to watch it on tonight mate?

There away record is really poor - the tie is all but over

 

[Sick Boy]

Probably a tv, mate.

 

[Otis]

Agree.

A goal could cause a little wobble, but it's a long shot at best, for sure. At 2 nil, they probably had a chance, but 3, I think is just too difficult to turn around.

 

[Super Frank]

What will you be able to watch it on tonight mate?

It’s a 3 PM start time here. I’ll be working until at least 5 pm, maybe later as it’s my last night here before I head home. If it’s like yesterday, I found a link where I could listen online. Couldn’t find a stream to watch though. Once I make it home, I’ll be fine for leg 2.

I want it all done and dusted tonight, as I have to work until 9 on Tuesday, so will miss the first half.

No offence, but I hope we win 5 nil tonight, so that all you are watching on Tuesday is a glorified training game.

That's quite funny, the author of that is one of a couple of dozen Mags who post on RTG pretending to be Sunderland, the place is rife with them which is a sad way to spend your time.

I believe there are only single seats left, in the lower section, 40,000+ sold and around 1500 still to sell in total. So we should all be able to enjoy great atmospheres at both grounds, better than Bristol which I thought was poor. The game, last night, slowed ticket sales as I expect people are wary of committing in the event of a hammering. There'll be a few Bristol 'having to work late' next Monday and offering to sell their tickets!

I'm about to set off, here's hoping we see a good game without a daft red card.

Or just post the wrong one like you did last week

Thought I’d be nervous for tonight, but not feeling at all.

Can’t wait to get to the ground. Come on boys! 🩵

Alternating between zen like calm and having a meltdown.
Was going to go to the gym after work but I'm starting to get a hankering for the pub.

you know it makes sense

 

[mmttww]

Was going to go to the gym after work but...

a stein in each hand, curls and squats, sorted!

 

[Sky_Blue_Daz]

Going for a run after work, try and get rid of some of the nerves

 

[Otis]

Yeah, Colin and Franken.

Everything bad that happens to you lot “it’s a mag”, “obvious mag”.

Must be lovely to have a boogie man to blame all of your shit on.

Got the same feeling as the west bron
and mboro games , confident we’ll win and they didn’t turn out to bad

You said we’d win at Luton and Plymouth as well

Times is hard for peeps.
How do you know they won’t be putting the proceeds towards next seasons ST renewal?

 

[Macca]

2023 was the culmination of a seven year journey that just annoyingly happened at the same time as Lutons culmination. This year seems like a total free hit to me. Lampard hasn’t even had a proper window yet.

It is just that, which probably explains my calm

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

You know what. I did think that and my missus said, no, you went to Wembley last year.

Doubting myself.

Wembley three years in a row that would be so cool.
