He had to retake one in the game against us so actually beat Bill Glazier three out of three. No mean feat.
Looking back at his record he’s probably one of our most under rated players (along with Quintin Young)

My first Sky Blue hero (along with Ernie Hunt).

We’ve surely played them more than 17 times. Seems very little.

2-1 city we're hitting form now can see us going on a roll

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

It would be great to go on a run like the league 1 title winning one but without the pandemic at the end!

Sunderland have done a magnificent job in their first season up

Made me laugh on the Sunderland forum, regarding 'Who's the best playeer in The Championship?'

Best keeper Patto
Best full back either Hume or Cirkin
Best CH Ballard or Batth
Best CM Michut
Best winger Clarke or Roberts
Best number 10 Pritchard or Amad
Best CF Stewart or Gykores.

To be fair, they acknowledged Gyo a lot on the thread, and I think this post was slightly tongue in cheek.

1-0 Gyok

Few of us getting train over from Northampton - any rec's for early opening pub near station (apart from the Litten Tree!)

Sky Blue tavern is the obvious place, they also run a mini bus to the game, and also close to the station

It's 80 quid, but you get 2 pints, some chicken wings, a pair of work boots and an ironing board.

Litten tree has closed down now I think!

Bargain

Don't suppose the Squirrel will be open early doors

Not sure mate, but the flying standard will be open from 8 though a bit of a trek to and from the station.

 

[Northants Sky Blue]

Yeah prob end up there or the Earl

 

[David O'Day]

Yeah prob end up there or the Earl

standard is perfect for the bus as well

 

[pusbccfc]

Tavern definitely. Shuttle bus is £1.50 I believe. Since Spoons have upped their prices, there's no much in it either.

He was certainly one of the best headers of a football I have ever seen.

Wasn’t he just, I was a young no 9 in those days and he was my hero.

 

[alexccfc99]

The fuckers have let my 4 fold down tonight, still if anyone was going to I’m glad it’s them

 

[CCFC54321]

I expect Jimmy hill will get the blame for Sunderland’s loss at Rotherham tonight?

 

[bawtryneal]

Vic at Rotherham v Sunderland tonight.

Doing some research for Saturday, like it....PUSB

 

[Evo1883]

Sunderland have a tough few weeks

 

[pusbccfc]

Vik is best mates with one of the Rotherham players.

 

[Evo1883]

Actually sunderland have a pretty shit run in besides 3 or 4 matches , I think they will fall away

 

[Nuskyblue]

Vik is best mates with one of the Rotherham players.

Goalkeeper?

 

[Happy_Martian]

Yep. Viktor Johansson, their keeper, is also a Swedish international.

And looking on BBC, the Rovrum v Sunlun game Have Your Say section has an interesting comment (considering how saintly Sunny fans think they are)

Brave/foolish lad -- scored against their fans on Saturday, and due to face the other set of fans the following Saturday. Not sure I'd have been happy if I was covering his insurance!!

 

[bawtryneal]

Sunderland looked poor tonight. I was not impressed.
Brought on a guy called Roberts on 60 odd minutes who ran and ran at Rotherham. Very tricky and quick. There defence looked solid in the air but not quick on their feet
ONien put in some great crosses and needs marking out the game. He is their "Hamer"

Agree about Patrick Roberts, he is one of their best players, if not the best. He is a very talented player and someone I could see playing for us if we chanced it.

As for O'9, he is not in the same talent level as Hamer, not even close. He's a niggling midfielder, more defensive than attacking and is prone to giving away silly fouls (see the previous post about his piggyback). Surprised he even plays in their first team as I'm sure their tea lady has better skills than him. Not a fan
