    Well, yeah, see also the Sunderland fan that's dribbled all over the board in the last couple of days. Still not worth getting angry about, though.

    I just cant get you out of my head

    Was just going to say that no-one will ever top Abba when it comes to crafting a perfect pure-pop tune. That Madonna track up there references them heavily. Take a Chance is the one for me. For something more modern, Poker Face is a glorious slab of dirty electro pop.

    Not worth getting angry about, tbh.

    Playoff Semi Final 1st Leg Bristol City - Sheffield Utd 08/05/25 8pm ko

    Couple of games against a team that finished above us in the league before starting to worry about Sheffield United at Wembley.

    Playoff Semi Final 1st Leg Bristol City - Sheffield Utd 08/05/25 8pm ko

    Interesting fact, but bubonic plague, intestinal worms and ebola were all first documented in the Sunderland area.

    Sunderland AFC

    None of the team or management are thinking that.

    Surely a more pessimistic man sees them battering Sunderland in the final?

    Playoff Semi Final 1st Leg Bristol City - Sheffield Utd 08/05/25 8pm ko

    When the playoffs first started it was three going for promotion and one fighting off relegation. Chelsea ended up getting relegated in them.

    Sunderland AFC

    We celebrate every win like that. It wasn't that long ago many of us genuinely wondered how long we'd have a club to support for. Yes, there are. The lowest you've been is promotion challengers in League One. Get a sense of perspective, and drop the whiny sense of entitlement. Even if you do...

    We would have been better off with Robins

    This is a very strange post. Some of those are / were reasonable things to raise. Or were in ways they would have been phrased, rather than the exaggerated way you have couched them to try and make a point. I don't think anyone has said the high line is 'killing us', for example, but some have...

    Match Thread Coventry City - Middlesbrough Match Thread - Saturday 3rd May

    I am also not reading much into their poor form, or their poor record against us. They finished fourth for a reason. It will be hard.

    Schadenfreude

    I've always quite liked Plymouth. I have absolutely nothing against Luton. I didn't care who went down, but was quite pleased Oxford stayed up. I like clubs that punch above their weight (we also had two extremely exciting games against them).

    He's Magic You Know

    He did say that, which would negate my criticism of him last week for persisting with Collins up to now.

    Clive Eakin on CWR

    If you're listening on the radio, you might never really be sure who's got the ball, or even who the opposition are, but some of his commentary is genuinely iconic. He's also knowledgeable (though not necessarily of who is who), and whilst wanting us to win, not partisan to the point of losing...

    Player ratings v Boro

    This system is open; we're going to concede goals playing it. It's not necessarily the personnel. Sheaf being back and looking his old self also helps us, because he screens the defence well. That's a big thing that we've lacked this season. Thomas is a top defender at this level, imo, and...

    Player ratings v Boro

    Simms did some excellent work with his back to goal, especially in the first half. His lack of technique cost him a couple of times when trying to get shots away, but I thought he did a good job for the team. Wright's decision making was off, that's all.

    Ref again

    That's it; you can't expect every decision to be correct, because it's a human game and the referee is human, but you just want consistency and big calls to be correct. The game was played at a ridiculous pace, and he allowed it to flow. It was a tremendously exciting game of football, and the...
