    Currently 41k+ so probably 42,000 by tomorrow ...

    ... Leeds have sold out and Sunderland are top so should be a great night.

    I think we'll be more attack minded, than Tuesday, but mainly on the counter mainly so the crowd will have to be patient. Leeds love to keep the ball but that's not unusual in this league, fortunately possession means nothing.

    I'm in town for 6pm, eating at the Fire Station and meeting the lads.

    I get back to Edinburgh at 1am on Saturday, so no onward travel, and was going to sleep in my van.

    But my boss has offered me his Edinburgh townhouse so I'm sorted :emoticon-0103-cool:

    I’ve said this so many times before and as someone double his age I can say it. He is a credit on and off the pitch, not only to himself but to Sunderland AFC and to his parents, who I think would be justifiably proud of their son seeing the man he has become.

    Just listened to a Leeds podcast with their BBC commentator, he was only half joking, but they were so dismissive of us.

    Underestimate us lads, be even better if we hump them

    Fair enough we're talking about hugely wealthy people, who are removed from reality, but some have been seriously deranged. The Russian was the worst, totally bizarre and not in an amusing way ...

    ... this fella is obviously very clever but just like one of the lads and really considerate.

    He's a 6'4" Glaswegian who won Commonwealth medals in judo, just as well he's decent <laugh>

    Just listened to a championship podcast, apparently Leeds are favourites at the bookies, we are 21/10

    2 of their best midfield players are out

    We win this 2-0, Hume to be yellow carded after decapitating some ****er

    Leeds seem to be over confident based on a 1-1 draw against Norwich, fair enough.

    Watching the Derby match back I've noticed that, for some reason, opposition players seem to mysteriously slow down if they're running towards a potentially 50/50 challenge with Hume <laugh>

    This is a tough one to call, but we're at home and yet to concede, which the lads will be desperate to defend.

    My prediction is a 2-1 home win.

    Fookin lads taking my car and am on bastad night shift :rolleyes: :mad: <laugh>

    Agree with @Smug in Boots .
    Leeds feels more like a Derby than the smog cùnts. <laugh>

    Hope this ones a good atmosphere and a good win, but agree with most and I'll settle for a draw.

    Nah bollocks, lets batter the bastards.
    Dirty Leeds twáts. <laugh>

    Oh aye, agree Browne in for Rigg. Give the young lad a breather .

    There's two brothers I know, one Leeds, one West brom.

    Tim Robinson has refereed 8 of our games in the last 3 seasons.

    He's booked Onien 4 times in those 8 games. In the ones he hasn't been booked, one was the 3rd round against Fulham where not many cards get dished out and another was Norwich away when he kissed that lad and could easily have got booked.

    9/4

    O’Nien is always good for a booking. I was waiting on him against the Mags for £335 - he brung the money home

    Jobe has been booked in 3 of his last 5 games, when you include international duty. 4/1 is good value

    Will be backing Cirkin and Hume to be booked if they start, singles and a double. In Leeds' last 4 games, 3 opposition full backs have been yellow carded, one received a red after 2 yellows and one got a straight red card.

    My mate had about £30 on Hume to get booked at Watford <laugh> Got nowhere near. I know he’s one away from a suspension like.
