    Willis

    Even though he's not departed yet, sounds like he's going to be booed by the SBA when/if we play his new club. Don't forget that he has been excellent for us over the last few years and will probably hugely increase his wages if he goes to a Championship club. Please don't say that's being...

    Match Thread Coventry City vs. Shrewsbury Town Match Thread - Sunday 28th Apr

    Prem and Championship both pay increasing prize money the higher up you finish but it doesn't apply to L1 & L2 as best as I know.

    Oggy Retiring

    Only City player to dismiss Viv Richards, greatest ever batsman to come out of the West Indies. True legend for our club.

    The legendary James of the gatekeeping duties, raises his head yet again. Where would we be without his constant flow of accurate information ?

    Sunderland vs Doncaster

    I was there too. As you say, it pissed down all night. For a mid-week game, Blunderland brought decent numbers. They encouraged their team all the way through the game and when we scored the 5th, they started singing defiantly, 'we'll support you evermore'. Then we got a 6th and every last one...

    Your Bad Days At A Match

    That could have been the FA Cup game I went to. The one I saw was versus Scunthorpe who brought quite a few 'lads' and intent on showing this 'small sleepy backwater' team what it was like to lock horns against a league team. Cue, mass fights all over the place including on the pitch before the...

    What Sporting Event Would You Choose ?

    I'd love to be batting in the 9th innings for the Boston Red Sox, bases loaded, 3 runs behind the New York Yankees then smashing a home run way over the green monster wall to win the game.

    Butts for doing a pre/post match Craven Street crawl wins it for me. For the club having any long term ambition in higher divisions then it can only be the Ricoh

    Your Bad Days At A Match

    In the 70s, HR was always a popular target for the London clubs. Easy to get to from Euston with the 'shag-your-women, drink-your-beer' mind set. Many times saw the West End terrace full of polished heads wearing Chelsea scarves. Any city chants were usually quickly snuffed out. Not an enjoyable...

    If his Swedish ex-Mrs had swung a golf club with something like his accuracy, he's have been 6ft under years ago.

    Sunderland fans forum - post match

    This animosity isn't going to go away anytime soon and I can see morons from all over who don't support either team, descending on the stadium to crack heads when we next cross paths be it next season or further on. Certainly won't be an away game I'll be tempted to go to. If Feyernord 'fans'...

    Sunderland fans forum - post match

    Tobyfair, Tottenham tried very hard to send us down on that final game if the season. But for Oggy in world class form, we'd have got beaten on the day. Don't recall Middlesboro fans constantly going on about Coventrys late kick off on that day. They were in the same boat as Blunderland where...

    Match Thread Chances of Making The Playoffs

    We currently aren't good enough for the Championship and need another season in League 1 to improve our squad plus sorting out all the crap with the stadium. Fisher has already said we can't afford to go up and, for once, he may be right given SISU's break even policy.

    Thing being thrown at Sunderland

    Yeah. The game where we equalised right at the end through the loanee, Juan Sara, after taking a royal hammering all game, some bright twat on the shelf above us kicked a seat off its moorings and threw it over the edge and into the SBA. Could have killed somebody but fortunately missed everybody.
