    Climate Change Protestors

    The point is, it would need a co-ordinated effort across the globe. It quite clearly isn't going to happen. This protest has sent the cause hurtling backwards. How is shutting down Heathrow, disrupting families going on holiday or visiting relatives, going to get people on-side? It's not. The...

    Climate Change Protestors

    Talking of small pinpricks, if climate change is man-made, we're fucked. Doesn't matter if the UK does put plans in place to control pollution, there's still 191 other countries that will be spitting it out.

    Climate Change Protestors

    But it would. It's a cliche, but you have to be the change you want to see in this world. They should aspire to be leaders on this, to motivate others, to prove themselves through their actions. That would inspire me to change. Instead, I just want to turn my fridge down another degree and my...

    Climate Change Protestors

    You know what would be productive? If every one of them got a bin bag and filled it with rubbish from the streets and rivers and hedgerows. If every one of them stopped buying bottled water. Stopped driving cars. Stopped watching TV or using a power outlet to charge their phones. But fuck that...

    Easter weekend (make or break)

    There's more chance of Stephen Pressley guzzling down a pint of Reda Johnson's piss than us getting promoted.

    Silence Is deafening

    The club, who I believe have said have had no contact with SISU on the legal result, can't announce anything if nothing has been agreed. I imagine they're clinging on to the hope they can negotiate for the Ricoh, but are waiting for confirmation that SISU are giving up the action. I guess...

    It's alright, he won't be able to read what it says anyway.

    Sunderland

    Are there other footballers with the same surname as teams? I guess Alan Brazil is kinda cheating. Edit: this is literally the only time I've ever wished Rod Hull was a footballer.

    Butts

    Imagine if it came from the council. Puts pressure on the club and SISU, because the expectation of staying in the city rears it's head again. It becomes doubly sickening when we end up being somewhere else, and SISU get extra blame for having another option to stay in the city and 'choosing'...

    Shipley or Bayliss at CM

    I've always been a fan of Shipley. One of the only players we have who isn't afraid to have a dig at goal, and clearly a valued, versatile squad member. It's easy to forget that Shipley and Bayliss only became first team players last season. I think we expect far too much of them both. They...

    Match Thread Sunderland vs. Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 13th Apr

    Interestingly, Bakayoko scored just under 1 in 10 for Walsall (93 games, 9 goals). For us it's about 1 in 4 (27 games, 7 goals). Note: it's not really that interesting.

    Match Thread Sunderland vs. Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 13th Apr

    I went for under 3.5 goals in the betting, so it needs to stay like this now.

    Stadium Deadline

    Two grounds I haven't heard mentioned, but are within 50 miles, are the Hawthorns and Pride Park (49 miles from the Ricoh according to Google maps). Can't see us going to Derby because of the distance, but West Brom has a realistic journey time.

    Stadium Deadline

    The council have scored a bigger own goal than Gary Mabbutt on this.
