Asking if they eat the same xmas dinner in France is something that should be discussed in more depth in football press conferences, its made my day.
Shame for Ballard like. He does seem to pick up a good few knocks. Maybe it's down to the level of physical presence he has and amount of battles he gets in to.
Hopefully it’s no longer than that Every time O’Nien has a battle on for his centre half place, we get an injury or suspension In you go back centrally, Luke
I’d be tempted to have Isidor on the bench for this one, don’t think he’s been very good of late. Mayenda through the middle
Posting here for maximum reach. You get a black cat point if you go to the Sheff Utd game on NYD, nice incentive for fans to go in my opinion. https://www.safc.com/news/2024/december/24/new-years-day-sheffield-united-matchday/
Fantastic thread again @RTB - we are so lucky to have you do this for us. I think this will be a tough one. I think if we turn up we can nick it although would be happy with a draw away from home to one of the league's in form teams. Would love Patrick to grab a brace and one for Isidor to build that confidence Ha'waaaaaaaaay
Shame for Ballard to be out “at least” two weeks. Knowing the way we estimate injuries that should mean we see Ballard some time in April
He gets so many injuries, he cannot be relied upon as our main CB unfortunately. Is this his 3rd injury of the season?
This is a big decision for me tbh. I'm leaving Scotland for Blackburn at 6am on Boxing Day and staying in the Midlands with family until the Stoke match ... ... then driving back through Weardale and Durham seeing relatives before ending up in Edinburgh for NYE with my boss. I can either drive back to Sunderland on NYD, stay over and drive back for work on the 2nd ... ... or sit here in comfort, drinking whatever's left from Christmas, and watching it on the big screen. Some would think I'd be daft to go, some that I'm not a true supporter if I don't. I think I'll post a new thread, with a poll, to take the decision out of my hands
Mate do whatever will make you happy, life is to short to worry about other people an their uneducated or ill informed opinions.
I just ****ing fancy us for this. Gonna be like a home game cos even though they will outnumber us, their fans are a bit ****. We in good form and we are getting it done. I just think we will have the better of the game and the occasion. 3-1 the Lads. Ha’waaaaaaaaay
Of course it is, but it’s a huge game. These are the ones where the SoL should be packed. Big club and all that…
It didn't think to will be. I don't blame anyone either. 20.00 on New year's day with no transport available. It's really poor for fans who are expected to make the journey. Never known new years games being on at 20.00.
