    They won't know the players.

    We have a full new eleven we could field

    Just stopped at Grantham services for a coffee and in front of me in the queue was Tom Flanagan in his Colchester training gear. He gave me a wink and said “haway the lads”

    About 30 miles further up the A1 on a car charge stop. Set off extra early as my lad wants to watch the bus arrive

    haway!

    I was going to parody that and say I've just seen Broadhead in his red n white crocs in Greggs at Chester services and he said "I did my part" blew me a kiss and left.

    On a side note he was buying a copy of Woman's own because there was an article on cracked nipples as he suffers from that. Plus it had a free multi bodily orifice temperature thermometer attached to the front. I know he worries about his internal flame.

    Been a long time coming, massive challenge ahead, I can’t wait. I hope there are no meltdowns when we get beat this season because it’ll be often. Just try and enjoy the ride

    Only difference between an oral and rectal thermometer is the taste

    That’s me ready and out of here boys and girls.

    Have a beautiful day, and remember what happens today is only day 1.

    Stick with the lads, the club, come what may. Be loud. Be proud and most of all enjoy it.

    We Are Sunderland.

    Rather not have a mural of James Cordon anywhere near the stadium mind.

    Premiership AND the RTB match thread !!!!! Thanks again for your efforts RTB.
    Hoping that RLB has moulded all the new players into a unit and we don't look like a load of individual strangers. Trust he has, and in any case, those players will forge out a win from the realisation of what they are doing, playing on that pitch for a support as it will be.

    We're going to do it. 2-1, late winner against the run of play, the lads scrapping for their lives, Ballard wins 100 headers.

    Premier league quality thread RTB. Thank you.

    To all of you able to go today - have an absolute cracker. Do the lads proud and they will give it back in bundles I am sure.

    Well here we go lads

    My ears are still ringing from the Dead Daisies last night in Newcastle

    Excitement palpable if touched with a few nerves.

    4 years ago we started to Dare to Dream.

    Then we really meant Til the End

    Let's hope this is the New Dawn

    Enjoy
