Could do with a convincing win in this one! The Mrs and all her family are all villa fans and trying to poach my eldest to support them ha. Tough times keeping him interested in league 1!
normally i would agree but this season i just want out of this league, even if it means SD hanging on and getting a better price...once we get a good start then by all means try to keep a winning run going...never want to see us lose mate but if it means we get more points on board i will take an early cup exit.

Exactly the same here, except my son was turned from an early age, and actually started out supporting Villa. I couldn't really protest when they were taking him to the matches, and his school mates etc supported mostly Villa too. However, he's since decided it's far cooler to support Sunderland, or maybe it's just because he doesn't like football that much and it's an excuse to have to go to less games
Haha mines very much keeping the peace at the moment but he's been to more sunderland games than villa so here's hoping!
Gooch and Diamond as wing backs? Not the greatest team we'll ever start with. Got to be smashing Villa u23s however.
