Match Day Thread Sunderland AFC v Southampton FC – Saturday 2nd September 2023 - KO 12:30

I want to say 9-0 each half but I expect to lose unless the Chelsea kid is playing and then I expect 3-2 to the cudlies.

Ps am hammered.

 

Surely we can get a song together about selling them our broken old ****?

 

Window shut and it's a home win for us.

Clarke brace including a peach of a goal cutting in and curling one into the top corner

 

Gutted I won’t make it back for the game, hoping to find a boozer to watch it in on the journey back from Blackpool!

 

Stuff that after yesterday, 2-1 win to the lads, Clarke brace.

Hhhaaawwwwaaaaayyyyyyy the lads

 

Head is sayin 1-1, heart is saying 5-0

 

I hate early kick offs, but up and buzzing for this one.

Hoping the miserable ****er behind us keeps his mouth shut this week, if I moaned as much as he does every game I wouldn't bother going, he can't enjoy it.

Haway me bonny lads

 

What's that you say? We have a game to play?
In all the madness TDD it's been forgotten

 

Weather looks canny

2-0 to the lads

Reet. Back to usual business. Haway the lads.

I predict a 1-1 draw today.

 

Draw at best today.

i ****ing dare Ross Stewart to get paraded on the pitch at HT

 

Southampton score goals, but they concede plenty too. Fast start, get at them and score first

Agree with that, get after them from the kick off and pin them back, don't let the ****ers settle

 

I think Mowbray has alluded to the fact that the ex Swansea manager likes to play possession football and has better players than he did at Swansea, so we need to be careful not to run our selves into the ground, alternatively get subs on early to replace any tiring legs

 

Am hoping Adams didn't travel

 

Well after a busy night last night your team looks bang on mate. Only Embo and Batth to replace on the bench. I'm going for a hard fought 1-1. Be interesting to see how we go about it today against a very good side.

 

Bench will look a bit thin today I'd imagine.

Bishop, Huggins, Seelt, Triantis, Pritchard, Hemir, Taylor, Rigg, Bennette

But 5 names to add to the squad v QPR so should be good competition for places by then

 

Got a bit of a job on his hands picking a squad has big Tone. All good competition though, should drive them all upwards.

 

Great as always RTB many thanks,what a couple days that has been,hopefully the lads have not been distracted by it all,going for a 1-1 today but really hoping to sneak a win,I know he’s not the most popular but would love Ba to get a goal just to help settle the lad down,enjoy all COME ON

 

I'd assume that Rusyn will come straight into the team v QPR, but the others may need some time to get up to speed. Burstow should be a good option pretty quickly too
