Match Day Thread Sunderland AFC v West Ham - Saturday 16th August 2025 - KO 15:00

4...you forgot my fave 'gerrup t'arse'

 

Well, what was looking like a great 2 weeks is now looking like hell.
Was my 70th on Tuesday, lovely meal out with the family (11 of us), cricket on Wednesday (although Durham managed to lose).
However, currently sat in urgent care @ Darlington Hospital with the wife who we think has got pneumonia for the 3rd time in 2 months (or she has never got rid of it) along with pleurisy which is causing horrendous pain in her rib area on her back. Her infection rate is over 300 and should be 10 after a blood test today after which she got a call at 10pm last night to get straight to hospital.
This means cricket is a no go tomorrow, Saturday is looking unlikely as us our yearly visit to York next week when I go to 3 days racing.
I can live with not going to the cricket and probably the races but I am going to have to do beg someone to do the visiting on Saturday afternoon so I can get to the game as I'm desperate to go, along with my 3 sons and 3 grandchildren.

 

Sounds horrendous mate, I hope your wife is feeling better sooner rather than later.

 

Hope everything turns in the right direction for you and the Mrs. Thoughts and prayers.

Will be absolutely gutted if he is wasted out there. Will be clear sign we need another winger who can play a part immediately.

 

Sounds terrible for your wife, hopefully she is on the mend soon mate.

Take care

 

Fingers crossed your wife gets well soon and the lads can bring home the 3 points.

 

Why is it not Saturday yet, everyone in our group is up a height for tomorrow. Meeting at the local at 10, bus to Sunderland at 12, Deaf Club to meet the others in our group then the SOL.

Going to be a long day and night till tomorrow

 

Also missing the grandsons first trial session which is taking place at CLS @ 11.30, although I think it is in indoor nets.

 

Best wishes to your wife. I hope she's ok and gets better soon xx

 

Good luck to the little fella as well, hope he smashes it
