Wonder how much an American art collector would be willing to pay to get his hands on a rare painting like that? I remember when it used to hang in the central museum on the staircase. Again, could be talking boll!cks here, but I’m sure I once read somewhere many years ago that the linesman on the far side was the Sunderland owner/chairman/manager or something, and just wanted to be included in the painting.
Yeah, its from a 4 all draw played at Newcastle Road. Its supposed to be one of, if not the, earliest paintings of a football match.

Innate pessimism comes with the greying of the napper. So it came to me quite a bit ago. But I will permit an easing of this natural state today. My car is knackered, I might have to work tomorrow, and I think an attack of gout might be, shall we say, afoot!

You never know do you really. Maybe one of these day's something really promising will happen here.
It's a startlingly simple concept to grasp mate ... ... the way some people carry on you'd think I'd tricked them out of their life savings
I sold our house and put the money on us being sold by May but don’t you worry mate I’ll manage honest don’t worry about it I will get through this somehow
Re the O’Brien element. Are they fans of the club or just local folk who see the huge potential and business opportunity?
Massive Lads Fan marra. Like us on here, all massive lads fans looking forward to a promotion winning season. That last bit might not be true of everyone mind.
