Done la 2 year ago and loved it. Got friends who live in Hermosa beach just along from Manhattan beach. Beautiful part of la it is there. Think as you've gathered been lot of bickering for nothing really mate. Clarke has gone but sunderland afc is still here and the show goes on. I'm still confident we have a good season.
No one bar someone on a messageboard has said anything about him leaving without a deal. The sources in Croatia have said nowt, nowt from the Salzburg end or Downie, who would’ve been dying to break that news I think that should be enough reassurance
Jesus. Just back from few days in Skegness. No WiFi in caravan. ****e reception all over gaff. Mobile data kicks in late in day and you get access to this forum. Genuinely spent 90 mins or so each night trawling through this thread. Traumatised me every night. Gutted Clarke seems gone but any genuine fan must be aware need to sell before we buy. Deal seems OK given the sell on clause. End of last season I wasn't arsed who left. Clarke started well this season but he is not irreplaceable. Good luck to him. Hopefully a great first signing since Clarke with Wilson. Awaiting more incoming soon. How can two forums with the same club be so different? Wish the negative fans would go and join them lot up the road. Club ran completely different to couple of years ago and in line with the present football financial state. To be honest I'm just glad I'm home.
Imagine if Mundle looks good after him and Cirkin build a partnership, or if Tommy Watson has a breakout season like Rigg did last year?! As long as we get the strikers in and scoring, I'm still very excited about the possibilities this year.
Point scoring you say. I see it a tad differently. There's two posters who post looking for attention. They repeat the same line until they rile posters to reply. I just wish they'd realise it's fine to have an opinion, but its not all about them.
Whoever plays in Jack role has Cirkin backing them up, and that’s massive. Folk talk about the fall off last year, it happened when Cirkin got injured. Him and Mundle will get an understanding over a few games (or Wilssssssssoooooon), and while bedding in Cirkin will do Cirkin things nd overlap and keep us going forward.
Thank you very much, I greatly appreciate that. (And all other comments) Was most likely the worst thing we will ever go through In our life, I do therapy to deal with the after affects of it (as well as other things) and my wife was diagnosed with PTSD from it, take comfort in knowing she was the one that effectively saved his life as she was a perfect 10/10 match for the stem cell transplant which is a 1% chance of happening so they told us. being amongst those kids, as in inpatient too for five whole months it makes you appreciate life and our situation as terrible as it was, there is so many more kids worse off so we count ourselves as one of the lucky one’s. Reason why I’m so open about talking about it all is to try and help other parent’s going through it, raise awareness of the importance of being on the stem cell register and even helped make and develop easy to read information to parents and children about the condition which will be sent to families at the start of the diagnoses. Very proud of us & most importantly him.
I thought the Huggins injury was a major factor too. I like Hume but imagine a fully fit Huggins and Cirkin as the full backs
My god mate we’d all love to see that. 2 brilliant dynamic full backs if ever they were fit and in form together.
I’ll be doing a Twitter thread most likely, no idea how to put photos onto here as I’m a boomer now. I’ll try and work it out. Haha
You all sound like absolute superstars mate. Sounds cliched but with everyone bickering about whether we’ve sold Jack Clarke for less than his worth and such like, your story and those like it really put everything in perspective.
