    A lot of haters? I havnt seen many at all. There has only been Jon McLaughlin I've had trust in since the season before we got relegated from the Premiership until now. I thought he handled Wembley superb. His shot stopping is great. God, he's only young. He'll play for England one day.

    Agreed. His development in the last 12 months has been marked. The young lad who got bullied by Wycombe this time last year is a distant memory. He is without a doubt a work in progress, but he's improving all the time

    Yep... TM has muttered several times about lack of height and physicality in the team. 3 weeks to go to correct it.

    In Rugby, it is well known that when a player jumps for a high ball with his arms raised above his head, he is leaving his ribs open to get smashed with a big hit. That is why they often jump with one knee raised for protection.

    Whilst the parallel to football is not 100%, an elbow in the keepers ribs is or jumping into him is unknown. Actually its a well known tactic to rough the keeper up and slow his reactions. Refs of course are aware of this.

    Same situation with my cousin's granddaughter. Her parents are smoggies, but she's been at the Sunderland girls team for a few years now. When it's your kids future career that's at stake, the team you support has to take second place in the priorities.

    I'll take your word for it.

    But, I can assure you, if our Mod says he heard it last night he will have done. I doubt he reads RTG tbh.

    Still there I think. Quoting a tweet saying that we want 2 maybe 3 in, but doesn’t think there’s anything too close.
