More or less the same team and I prefer the back three with Higgins in place of Anderson, but either of your line-ups look fine. Tony mentioned this week about having a fluid line up , and the pattern of play dictating the shape, he is dead right of course. On another tack, no one as far as I can see has mentioned extra time. and I would rather do without that tbh. So I would go into the game hoping to out score them over the 90 minutes, and that is just what I think we will do. OaU
I personally thought the euphoria took place at the rather grandiosely named Deepdale, or is he just a lazy journalist? I hope he rots the c***sock
Nothing as grandiose as calling your ground the Lions Den ... ... especially as they're a bunch of pussies
Great thread once again @RTB. Im not even going to predict this one as Im usually completely wrong. Nervous as anything though. Whatever happens the team has done us proud and a Wembley final is just reward Hawaaaaaaaaaaay
I couldnt make the match on Saturday so chose to watch it in a pub near where i live with my lass. There was only me, my lass and another Sunderland fan in a busy pub full of boro, and they was a table full of Boro Hooligans, most of which i recognised and i also grew up with one as a kid and are all part of Boros main firm "Boro Frontline", they call themselves. Needless to say when we scored the whole place was in silence other than me celebrating, the other Sunderland fan was too scared lol. I might not be so lucky if we get them in the final and i go to the same pub, but id never not celebrate a goal no matter where i am watching the lads play.
*when All seriousness I'm going for 1-1. Bit like Sheffield wed last year. They'll score 1st and we'll get one at the end as they push on.
I love that pic of Pritch and Hume. It shows the closeness of our squad, but more importantly he doesn't look too injured and neither does Roberts.
I think he is a naturally fit lad so could maybe do 20 mins if required, especially as I don't think we will be wanting him to bomb up and down the pitch
Noticed he had compression things on his calves so hoping thatll help when traveling down - roberts looked fine tho so fingers crossed
RTB Well done RTB, for your penultimate match thread of the season. We go into this game with a 1 goal lead. I expect us to get bombarded with crosses this time. If we can survive their initial charge, i am sure we will gradually take control of the game. Hitting them on the break. The team i guess will be those of the squad left standing. I predict we will draw or win by I goal.
