Match Day Thread Sunderland AFC v Coventry City – Play-off Semi Final 2nd leg Tuesday 13th May 2025 - KO 20:00

This time last week…

 

Often see him around Tynemouth he’s a proper nice bloke and bloody massive n all

 

I hope they change the boards where that banging comes from ..sounds awful no need the crowd was well-off its tits with free adrenaline.

 

Bloody brilliant

 

He's a good commentator. Tears flowing here. 'Til the end

 

I really like his style ...

... I hate that he reminds me I know very little about tactics and game patterns

 

Same. I always watch them sceptically and by the end he's convinced me he's literally interviewed RLB candidly about the tactics

 

Always brilliant and well worth subscribing to.

 

I don't pay for much but I subscribe to him ...

... I'm expecting @RTB to go 'pay per view' next season

 

Great idea

 

Made me chuckle

ah beat me to it!

been following them since they did a darts one a few years back - quality

 

Exactly this. I know nothing about formations or overloads or false nines or whatever. What I do know though is that it doesn’t matter how much ball possession a team has. It matters what they do with the ball when they do have it.

 

Yeah me too!

 

Sorry! You pay us to view

 

How much do I owe you

 

The Coventry forum has convinced itself that they were robbed despite failing to kick the ball into our net or even have any decent attempts.

They're now convinced that Super Frank Lampard is taking them to the PL, this isn't untypical ...

'Torp will be a star next season.
A new striker to be first choice will score
20+ goals.
Rudoni will stay
We finish 2nd.'

In reality they're just not very good. Lampard came very close to blowing the top 6 and totally failed in the playoffs.

They're getting carried away on the back of their win against us and how Lampard had a good run.

They ignore the lucky last minute wins and defeats to the bottom clubs but I think they'll struggle ...

... last season I predicted Luton would struggle so I hope I'm right again.

 

Awful and pointless.

It's a carer, for a lad in a wheelchair, in the South Stand ...

... I'm not sure he doesn't have issues of his own tbh.

During the 2nd leg I went towards him to say summat and decided against it, either Class A or not quite right imo.

 

As both Coventry and Sheff Utd found out, you'll do absolutely nothing if you don't take your chances. Having possession means not a single thing if you don't use it and score goals. We've been utterly clinical throughout the playoff campaign and thats exactly why we'll play in the Premier League next season.
