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

    Should probably merge this as well, I’m getting confused where I have and haven’t commented 😂 https://www.skybluestalk.co.uk/threads/sunderland-predictions.143941/page-2#post-2562134

    Squad numbers

    Yeah that’s the classic 442, question is what do you do with a back three and no wingers? I propose: 1 - GK 2 - RCB 3 - LCB 4 -DM 5 - CB 6 - DM 7 - RWB 8 - AM 9 - ST 10 - ST/AM 11 - LWB

    I think the plan is to have two equal but different wingbacks on each side. Both for tactical changes, but also to allow frequent swapping with us having five subs this season. It’s probably the most physically demanding role on the pitch.

    Really good point:

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Very disappointing on climate and the NHS, though considering the audience I can see why. But cutting food waste and recycling is more the script from a 1990s Blue Peter appeal than it is a serious plan for climate action. Dad was a GP mum was a pharmacist, Sunak talks about “working in the...

    New shop.

    Thought for a while some kind of Cov Shop in the city centre would be good, that sold all the local teams stuff, plus you could do crap like lady Godiva merch and tickets for local attractions or whatever.

    Doesn’t he play CB these days or did I imagine that?

    Fuel prices

    This is all assuming no improvement in charging tech as well, there’s prototype fast charging batteries at six minutes for a full charge, which makes petrol station style charging possible. The current Tesla supercharger can add 200 miles of range in 15 minutes. We’re already down from “long...

    Fuel prices

    I think personally it’s a stop gap until we get auto taxis on demand and drop car ownership entirely for much better shared services, which could be any time in the next twenty years, or could be never. But I’m a massive techno-optimist. I agree portable chargers will be the best solution and...

    Fuel prices

    As stated several times: the world of 2040 where petrol cats have been banned for 10 years, and electric cars are significantly cheaper to produce anyway, and also where we probably have much less reliance on expensive and volatile fuel sources for the electricity, so the fuel differential is...

    Fuel prices

    Two thirds of households have off-road parking. If you’re not going to work each day, you probably don’t need to charge your car each night and can just do it once a week at the weekend. Also totally forgot but portable chargers are a thing now, so you could charge at home and bring it out to...

    Can you please clarify who TF this hypothetical person is, who makes up a majority of the population, lives in a flat, doesn’t have work parking, never goes to the shops, doesn’t live near enough people for public charging to be built nearby in the next 17 years and is too poor to spend a few...

    Fuel prices

    Congestion charges are generally in a response to air quality issues, not climate change. We haven’t had a scrappage scheme for years and the grant stopped this year because it’s not seen as needed due to sales picking up. So, yeah you’re right. Focus on government spending in this area has...

    Yeah I think it does, I seem to recall match passes being cheaper in the US but I may have dreamed that.

    Surprised we’ve not had an Adaramola announcement today.

    iFollow and supporting from abroad

    Got to say, I don’t agree with dodgy feeds cos it’s denying cash to the club, but I’ve cancelled my iFollow season pass for the first time in three years because it was beyond a joke at points last year. I’ll just buy the games I can and then stream anything on Sky or whatever cos fuck it the...

    OK G, let’s come back in five years and see where we are. If you don’t think EV sales will grow exponentially over the next 8 years there’s nothing I can say to convince you. But you are very much against all expert opinion out there.
