Match Day Thread Sunderland v Tranmere Rovers - Tuesday 22nd October - KO 19:45

Feel for the Southend fans! Sol Campbell proving it’s possible to be black and a manager. The only reason he’s not at a PL club us cos he’s black... The fact that he’s been complete ****e everywhere he’s been has nothing to do with it

 

I really like Willis. I think he’s got a lot in him. He could grow a lot.

Mind, Watmore was blowing out his arse when he went off, he is looking capable of getting back where he was and what a boost that would be. Well managed sub.

 

It's probably been posted several times tonight but all I want to add to this thread is....

 

Its not that, he did great at Macclesfield.

Its because he’s a ****. He’d be a **** whatever colour his skin.

 

Not on your Christmas card list I assume?

 

I don’t send cards, but I might just do I can specifically say I didn’t send him one.

Ive despised him since he wrote about us being racist. In a game that didn’t ****ing happen. ****.

 

He was indeed blowing, I was surprised he started tbh, thought he might have put him on the bench and brought him on for last 30mins but fair play to the gaffer. Good decision to get Grigg his standing ovation as well.

 

More of that Grigg and we will sharp forget the previous.

I wonder if he was aware that Ross wasn’t keen? Will save that debate for if he keeps going.

 

He was a different player tonight. Even though JR was constantly on the touchline and Parkinson seems to be there as well, the amount of instructions, encouragement and support from Parkinson to the team seems a hell of a lot more than JR.

Bright as a button. Good lad.

 

‘Throughout my career I’ve always done well off early crosses in and around the 6 yard box...’

Ross ‘punt it’..

 

I'm lethal from 3 yards...... Launch it Flanners.

 

Mind, I said crowd was canny, but no way was there 28k in there, that’s what SAFC.com says.

****ing no chance.

 

What a brilliant night I've had. I'm still wearing the huge grin I had on my face at the final whistle and I just about danced all the way back through town to my car. Massive result all round in terms of confidence, getting the supporters back onside and everything.

I'm in bed now keep watching that Chris Maguire free kick

 

I usually judge it on how easy it is to get to the bog at half time and there were no queues. Prob 25k max.

 

Aye I’d say about that. Suppose they count all season cards.

 

That's where I usually get them from @Flushding

 

Dont know how they get away with it tbh. Surely H&S need to know how many actual people are in the ground in case it needs to be evacuated (i.e who has clocked in). Arsenal have 60k for every Europa league game and it's not even half full

 

Havent seen any of it.
Cant quibble at the score line mind.
5 goals...that would have taken ross 5 games.
A clean sheet...ross needs almost a full season.
Grigg seemingly has his mojo back.
Watmore lasting almost full game, scoring, not injured and by all accounts having a good game.
A good day at the office all in all.
Some might say 'oh well it was only tranmere', but we only managed draws with rochdale, bolton and rotherham, who many regard as 'only' teams.
So well done parky ( doncha love an affectionate abbreviation of a name?)
I doubt anyone in their right mind expected a result like this. I know I didnt.
Parky still has a bit to do to demonstrate to me he is the right man for the job but credit where credit is due.
I reckon barton's sphincter will be very active right now.

 

Enjoy
