    It was absolutely stunning. Although i expect you may well have seen/heard about Etna and the mini-eruption. My race wasn't cancelled but i decided against travelling early-morning up to the area and (at best) racing against a low turnout. Syracuse was stunning. As was Taormina and the areas...

    It isn't a name i'd have chosen, and its clearly a rip-off of Benfica.... But i remember the sense of disappointment when our ground was named the "Ricoh Arena"..... regardless of whether we got a choice or not, everyone would've preferred a proper ground name..... like The Gasworks which...

    Lets face it, its no worse than being named after a photocopier manufacturer or building society.

    Sunderland pubs

    There's a dislike of Sheffield United primarily because in the SISU days, there was a protest at the Ricoh Arena during a match vs Sheffield United and the game got disrupted. During the holdup, (i think) there was an altercation in the stands where a Cov fan went through the segregation and...

    You were very unlucky but don’t be too downbeat

    Can't knock Sunderland for how they played. If they'd came out and played open football at Cov they'd have likely gone away a couple of goals down. Not sure we were "done up like a kipper" though..... it could clearly have gone either way. Its small margins.... missed chances, kamikaze...

    Hear me out.....

    I would imagine Norwich feel that they will be in a similar boat to us next season, ie playoff contention..... so i'd be surprised if we had the remotest chance of signing him.

    Will we ever

    We didn't bottle anything you fool. Against Luton we lost on pens against an arguably better side, having came through against Middlesborough going into the 2nd leg as clear underdogs. This year there was very little to separate us and Sunderland (in fact a 123rd minute goal was all it was)...

    Will we ever

    I think a lot of fans (of all clubs) unconsciously think that getting to the playoffs equals promotion. Regardless of whether we sneak in in 6th place, or spend half the season guaranteed playoffs (like Sunderland), its still a bit of a lottery. We've largely dominated both games, and lost to...

    Running

    I went up to the other side of Stoke On Trent last night to run the Mow Cop Killer Mile...... A 1 mile uphill road race with about 580ft of climb.... ave gradient 11%, but after about a km it kicks up to 25% gradient for a few hundred metres. I ran 8:28..... which is a guide to how tough it...

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

    If we get through i hope Bristol City win. If Sunderland go through i'd prefer Sheff Utd to win.

    To be fair he's a busy guy..... You don't run the firm by being civil to people or typing coherently.

    WestEndAgro is a hardman. Look at his name.

    Not getting a head of ourselves ….

    i think its absolutely 50/50 vs Sunderland. Which, given how they started the season, is a testament to how much we've progressed.

    Sunderland forum at it again

    I find them quite hypocritical...... Which to be honest is not massively different to football fans everywhere, but they seem to take it to an art-form..... constant references to Leeds and Newcastle being "arrogant", yet they believe they are still a top 10 club. They really need to stop...

    Play Off Final Holiday Clash

    Should we make the final, i'll be on a plane between Rome and Catania during the 2nd half (and most of any potential extra-time)

    Schadenfreude

    Well thats just football these days isn't it (and quite frankly why i have nothing like the passion for it that i used to) How many times on here do we have posts suggesting that we "shithouse" a lot more

    Schadenfreude

    Really don't understand this. Surely they were just celebrating a victory..... are Middlesborough supposed to be outraged at us for our celebrations yesterday......

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

    Good performance in general, but its small margins.... Middlesborough were on top when we scored and could easily have been up a half time. Game could so easily have gone either way. Pleased to be playing Sunderland, but really we need to take them apart on friday..... no matter how shit...
