    Bet on the Sky Blues?

    For those of you that like a little dabble on the horses I see there is a horse called 'Playupskyblues' running in the 1:05 at Goodwood. Owner must be a City fan I presume! Anyhow 20/1 with Bet365 - be lucky 🤑🤑🤑

    O'Hare bids

    Despite being an ex Forest player I think Derby could be a good fit for him if they were interested.

    CBS issues

    They only play 7 minutes each half :)

    Go on then. Where do we finish?

    We will most likely finish in the group just outside the playoffs, so 7th to 13th. Picking the middle of that I'll go for 10th.

    Transfer Rumour Lewis Richardson

    @Greggs - Loved your work with the Sunderland message board. You gonna have a go on the Burnley one?

    Championship Table 2022/23

    This will be a lot easier come the end of August when the transfer deadline has passed and the final make up of all the teams will be known but as of now I fancy Watford to be the best of the relegated teams and to win the league with Norwich 2nd. Playoffs then to be West Brom, Sheff Utd...

    Match Thread ⚽️ Sunderland vs Coventry City Match Thread - Sunday 31st Jul

    Our ex player David Prutton (for a short time at least) has predicted a 1-0 win for Sunderland on the Sky website. Probably a sign of the one sided Sky coverage likely to come of this match. I'm certainly expecting this message board to be lit up with righteous indignation about the bias.

    You’ll Never Walk A-loan

    Based on performance while on loan, rather than future or past career my team would be: Bywater, Caldwell, Ostigaard, Clarke-Salter, Grainger, Gudjonsson, Hignett, Walsh, Warnock, McGoldrick, Armstrong

    Rotherham attendance

    A lot probably depends on the Sunderland game. A good win then 20,000 plus, a defeat maybe 18,000.

    Transfer Shouts

    With 5 subs to use this season he will get plenty of game time whether he starts or not. Initially Bidwell will start, and deservedly so as he seems to have had a good pre season. Off the bench with 20 minutes to go against tiring defences sounds to be a perfect introduction for the Palace lad...

    Match Thread ⚽️ Sunderland vs Coventry City Match Thread - Sunday 31st Jul

    While they do tend to turn on their team at times, I don't think they will do so in their first match back in the Championship. Strange results regularly happen in the 1st game too and I think this whole day will be centred around them, which will make it doubly difficult for us. I would...

    iFollow and supporting from abroad

    It's not in the clubs hands though! What we do know is that any game live on sky (apart from the red button ones) won't be shown on Ifollow. Last season there were also about 3 games that were just made solely available for foreign TV viewing if I remember right. It is therefore Sky and the EFL...

    Team for Sunderland

    I've a gut feeling MR will go with Wilson too, largely based on him starting the Portsmouth match. Big call for MR though. The other 50/50 shout for me is whether he starts with 2 up front, as he has done mostly in our prep games. I suspect he will err on the side of caution though and barring...

    Transfer Shouts

    He was signed because Dabo was having injury issues and MR was also dabbling with playing Dabo in the back 3. At the time we had no back up so his signing made more sense than it appears to now.

    Todd Kane

    I thought Kane did ok for us, but he left QPR because he wanted 1st team football, and given Dabo looks to have that position tied down there is little point him staying, particularly when we have decent young back up options in Burroughs and Eccles. It will also relieve some of the pressure on...

    Championship 22-23

    Let's see. Only 1 goal in the last 2 seasons over 29 games! He could easily turn out to be an expensive over the top has been. He has also been a regular feature on the treatment table in that time too so I'm not convinced.

    Video Mark Robins | Portsmouth Reaction

    Is that the only post Cheylscov ever made, as its not a name I'm familiar with? Its outrageous really. I've never complained about any post, however much I might disagree or find offensive. I remember the guy unnecessarily laying into Jones a year ago for example, but in retrospect I wish I had...

    Match Thread Portsmouth Match Thread

    This is why you shouldn't take pre season results too literally. Ironically our best starts have usually come after a poor set of pre-season results! These games just cannot match the intensity and passion of the real thing, but are obviously useful for bedding in new players and combinations...

    New shop.

    As someone who grew up in Rugby I often think that we don't do enough to maximise our support in those satellite towns. We should get the players going to the schools, expand free tickets to schoolkids there as well as from Cov. If they did open somekind of outlet then get players down for meet...

    New shop.

    I wonder how much it would cost to have outlets in Nuneaton, Rugby and Leamington? Maybe not a shop in its own right but a section of an existing shop? If nothing else it could help maintain the club's profile in the neighbouring towns which we consider part of our area, and with clever...
