Bet that wasn’t very comfortable . I’ve slept on the settee with the dog woke up with a banging headache, just going for some painkillers now.
Hair of the dog? I've just rang to tell the housekeeper not to bother coming in ... ... she's Portuguese and talks non-stop very loudly
These are the reports that I love being a Sunderland fan. The image of the club and the fans being gracious in winning as well as the many time up until yesterday losing, we've always held our heads up high.
O'Brien was missed yesterday in my opinion, Wyke isn't the same player without him. A horrible thought struck me though regarding the improvement of those two, plus the likes of Burge, since supporters were kept away from the stadiums. Would fans going back be a horror show ... ... Return of the Groaners
Look North tonight. Will we be the fourth item after a plan to revamp Newcastle city centre, a Covid report, a woman making cots and a man who's doing a charity walk round his back garden ... ... or will they give a NE team, bringing a trophy home from Wembley, the top billing it deserves.
It is great that we won some silverware and broke the Wembley voodoo.... But I hope after the end of this season we never enter that competition again (as a first team)
The Guardian seem to be treating the story seriously ... https://www.theguardian.com/footbal...ere-football-league-trophy-final-match-report "Glory comes in many forms, few stranger than a scruffy 1-0 win against League Two opposition at a deserted Wembley Stadium ... ... but glory this nonetheless was."
Tbf, Jonathan Wilson is a massive lads fan, but still good to see the nationals like that still giving it due service.
This might be a false impression, given I'm sat two hundred miles from Sunderland and no one's been in a football ground for ages, but this all feels different to how it usually feels. I was already pleased that KLD was the new owner and pleased with Johnson as manager but winning this feels like everything has started on the right foot.
Yeah I've got one I think, about the transformation of the club? Might dig it out, in fact, he should bring out an updated version!
I love that O’Nien thing me! Make him captain for me like. The improvement and consistency of Burge could be massive factor in promotion. He looked good when we signed him, went back over. Can we stand behind him when he does make a mistake though? Keepers do. It’s not ‘revert to type’ when he does. Even Oblak has a moment or 2. He’s been quality for 2 months now.
I can understand people being reluctant to believe but I do, completely. There must have been Leicester supporters who refused, for ages, to believe the good times were ahead and missed out on the initial excitement ... ... I have no intention of doing that.
It’s not just on the park, everything has changed, the whole feel about the club. I’m even of the opinion that if disaster struck and we stayed down it would be a delay and inconvenience rather than a nightmare. I don’t think we fall, but to even see staying down as anything other than an explosion is just showing me how much faith and optimism the changes have given me.
Not wrong in your hopes and expectations Promotion this season has to be the aim... A win on Wednesday and wins for the next few games should prove the tinpot Cup was a help not a hindrance... that's my hope
I'm going to embrace this. Can't see any reason not to be optimistic. What's the worst that can happen? It takes 10 years rather than 5 to get into the Champions League
