Sunderland fans are as fickle as any other fans. Now they have won a game I expect a few more might be tempted to go, and I would expect there to be at least 2.5k of them. Those that don't come will be put off as much by their poor record at Cov and an expectation that they won't win, as well as...

...... but it is meaningful because if we have possession the opposition don't, meaning they can't build up a head of steam. Controlling the ball also keeps the home crowd quiet, particularly at a place like Swansea where they have been used to dominating possession.

I understand having a beer as part of the day out, and have been happy to do so on many occasions before and after a game, but never really got the need to urgently drink more during the game at the expense of watching the match you've centred your day around. Each to their own I suppose! Same...

Yates made a really good near post run so very unfair to blame Fadz in my opinion. Da Silva was caught napping though by a long ball behind him, and even when their wide player slowed up allowing him to put a challenge in he failed to do so. Apart from that I thought Da Silva played ok so no...

I see Barnsley got stuffed again :unsure:

We already have Binks on loan, so think we might bring 2 more in, therefore leaving us with the option to bring in 2 more loans in January. Given that I presume the intention is to also bring in another 2 permanent signings before the transfer window shuts.

I agree that that their league will struggle to muster much in terms of viewing figures in the UK and Europe, where our League structures and club loyalties are long established, other than maybe an initial morbid curiosity. Further afield though it might gain more interest in the wider Arab...

I remember Slowpoke being convinced they didn't have a pot to piss in, despite all the players they were bringing in!

Couldn't have made it without Happy Martian's contribution ;)

If an ex player bad mouths us then they are fair game for stick. When Dublin refused to play for us or so it seemed, then he appeared to deserve some stick too. However, Dublin is a good example of why we shouldn't jump to conclusions. Booing him for going to Villa was one thing but some of the...

There would have to be a Hall of Fame, with new inductees every year just to give us extra reason to argue over what constitutes a legend.

I think Hamer was to some extent torn in deciding whether he wanted to leave or not, but even then he could only leave if someone made us an acceptable offer for him, and we plainly hadn't had such an offer until last week. Other than hiding away when the CCFC media team came running I don't see...

I would keep it the same for the moment too. I like a fresh Wright coming on against tiring defenders.

Jim Blyth was probably the best actual penalty saver amongst them.

@Skyblue_CP - apologies on my part. Hadn't seen when you posted :) It's sometimes good to be proven wrong! ** not sure why this has come up in Bold!!

Who would be our keeper to take virtual penalties against? Reg Matthews/ Bill Glazier/ Jim Blyth/ Les Sealey/ Oggy/ Westwood?

It was 5-1 at SP, but just checked and seen that 11-1 was available in the morning. I missed out but hopefully some CCFC fans filled their boots and can now pay for a Sunderland match ticket :)

That is some real strange logic. Godden scores 1 and assists 2 but has let the Twitter idiots get to him because he gave them some back, and so should therefore be left out!! Taking him out of the team for that means not only are you letting those Twitter idiots win, but damaging the team's...

With the money spent on Wright and Simms it must be very much in MR's mind to play them together, although Godden has thrown a spanner in the works as to when we are likely to see that combination in any regularity. Don't know if Wright played up front on his own in Turkey but my impression is...

When Atkinson took over there was a lot of excitement. I think Salako was the big name signing that Summer. I think Isaias also signed, and the 'African Pele', Nil Lamptey, who ended up only ever playing in a League Cup game for us. At the time I remember being very positive about it all though...
