    He's spot on mind but people don't seem to like him so he's getting stick for saying it. Is he good enough to be head coach? No. But have the performances of certain players been even close to good enough this season? No. But i've seen Mowbray get more stick than Roberts for example.

    Spot on. Roberts trying to win a foul as a Blackburn player wrestled the ball from him outside our box said it all for me. Stick your shoulder in and keep at it. No coach can compensate for that other than dropping the ****er which he rightly did. .

    Z-cars


    On Saturday, Sunderland AFC players, staff and supporters will come together at the Stadium of Light to celebrate the life of Charlie Hurley.

    Named the Club’s Player of the Century in 1979, last week Charlie sadly passed away aged 87.

    A range of tributes are scheduled to take place on the Club’s final matchday of the 2023-24 season to honour the seismic impact that ‘The King’ made on Wearside.

    This includes Club representatives observing a period of remembrance at the Charlie Hurley gates on Saturday morning before a minute’s applause is held ahead of kick-off.

    The Club’s players will also wear special warm-up tops remembering Charlie before entering the field of play to Z-Cars, which is synonymous with the icon’s unforgettable time on Wearside.

    In the Roker End, supporters’ group This is Wearside plan to unveil a new flag honouring the greatest centre half the world has ever seen, and a selection of Charlie’s former team-mates will also be in attendance to share their personal memories, including Jimmy Montgomery, Colin Todd, Colin Suggett, Ritchie Pitt, Bobby Kerr and Jimmy Shoulder. Charlie spent 12 years on Wearside, but his legacy will forever endure.

    He loved Sunderland, and on Saturday Sunderland will show just how much we loved him.

    Bloody 12.30 kickoffs.

    Still, last chance for the season to meet up with friends from out of the area. Hopefully a nice sunny day.

    There’ll be more games moved next season with the new TV deal, unfortunately.

    I don't see us winning, we could get turned over or get a competitive draw, but I don't see a win.

    Hopefully we see a bench full of young players and at least a couple get on, nowt to play for so might as well experiment with regards to the line up and tactics.

    Now the match unlike some of the miserable buggers on here I’m hoping for a good send off from the team, I hope there’s more than some think will stay back at full time it’s not much to spare 20 mins and give the lads a clap even tho it’s not been the best we’ve seen a lot bloody worse. 2 - 1 to lads COME ON

    If we win (for the first time since February) then I'll clap them off. If not I'm heading to the pub with indecent haste
