The Sunderland Pre-Match Thread

[Tamworth Fox]

I think you're overateing us by miles as i said earlier in the thread: 8-0 to Sundeland

Bet you £10 that if we do lose it wont be by more then a margin of 3 goals?

 

[highland fox]

1-0 To them,I don't we will ever get thrashed a defence isn't that bad its just further up the field where things start to go wrong.I'd like to see Williams and Wesolowski given a go in midfield if they are fit.

:thumbs_up

Williams on his game is quite possibly one of the best players we have IMO.

The problem is we rarely play to his strengths, what is the point of having one of the best passers in the division in your side if you continually use tactics that nullify his best attributes.

I would agree with that. Just a shame this division doesn't really favour passing teams. As Hanson (If I remember rightly) once said.. if you are going to be a passing team, you have to be really good at it - something along those lines. I've said before I think our squad is good enough for promotion and plenty good enough for a top half finish and we have been underacheiving for a while now. You can't keep fighting relegation forever and expect to get away with it because it will drag you down eventually as Brighton found out last year..

Why do you lot keep saying we haven't got a chance in this match. It will start 0-0 and we both have 11 players.

Of course we have a chance, if we didn't I'm sure Rob Kelly wouldn't allow the club to waste money on fuel for the squad and club reps to travel.

Come On City!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[MHS]

I'm going with 3-0 Sunderland aswell. Not a chance in hell of any points here =/

It's great to say that the lads proved you wrong. :icon_wink

 

[MHS]

I wonder if mhs and pds have "touched" each other yet on the bus

You jealous that you missed out? :icon_lol:

it ruins the feeling if you smile, you have to keep straight face while singing "the pipes the pipes are calling, from glen to glen. and down the mountain side" etc

did you see me get pushed over when we scored? my leg looks like a well shaven kebab at the moment

No I didn't. We were sat in the far corner at the top to your left, but you and a few other lads were giving them some grief.

the entire row i was in live in newcastle or gateshead, so understanding that they hate the mackems. it was a great game, and i've offered some travel to many other games as its rare that the proper north east brigade of city fans make it out in more than 4

 

[Real Sharapova]

its goning to be a long long trek back for you tonight.

Slightly longer than anticipated due to the train doing a go-slow after Stevenage, but still got back in time for the last knockings at the chippie. Won at cards, and it was good to really silence their fans for most of the game. Great pub before the game, great day out all :icon_lol: in all. BTW, met Fitz on the concourse before the game, great he can show his face on Monday!

...and force a throwing..

Throw IN, Throw IN for gawds sake man :icon_wink

Oh Aye,your right:icon_redf

You're right, you're right - for Gawd's sake, man!

The Warta in Majorca don't taste like what it oughta

There is no 't' in wa'er in Estuary English.

 

[bocadillo]

Were looking at a 3/4 nil result and Kelly saying "we have some positives to take away from this match" afterwards.

You got it half right!
