There used to be a bar in Benal that had seats in out the Clock Stand and was packed with Sunderland on match days, sure it was called Rita’s (this was when I lived there so few years back can’t confirm still there)

Was a Celtic bar 2 doors down was a bit back off main area but not miles out. I’ll see if can find out if still there.

Was class.

Only prediction I can make with certainty for this one is that the pub will be absolutely heaving afterwards.

If we're not 100% we could get slaughtered, just hope we rediscover our early season form in which case a 1-0 win is not impossible.

Ballard appeal was rejected
O9 likely to step in
Geertruida future to be decided
Man U have many strong players, we have to show our best version.
If we are bold and creative we can create key moments in the game.
Romaine Mundle is the only remaining injury
We want stability after a successful season

Its a joke, was never violent conduct so didn't deserve a 3 match ban!

That would mean admitting the rule is ridiculous and open to interpretation, not a chance they would overturn it. Hopefully they change it or clarify the rules ahead of next season otherwise it will become a farce.

I'd love to see some of our players warm up before the match on Saturday wearing wigs practicing hair pulling drills. Sounds daft but it would make sure the issue is kept in the spotlight and not just swept under the carpet. Plus imagine the media attention we would get :emoticon-0102-bigsm

Brilliant we have nearly everyone back.

We have missed Traore, then add in Angulo who looked good in his short appearances and Rigg who's looked decent and Taibi who's a complete unknown.

Got to love the options and the squad

Are the Manchester lads relaxing now or not. If they go for it I believe we will get beat. I have took 1-4 on the predictor.
Obviously I hope I am totally wrong. A win would be magnificent a draw would be decent. Just commitment and a good performance like most games this season is all we can ask for
If we are getting beat I would like RLB to shake things up and give some subs a decent run out. At least 20 mins.
