High time for this thread. The draw is on now :1980_boogie_down: So excited about it. Snowing as well <laugh>

Sad news. What a voice Jimmy had. Such passion. One of those I heard and had to stop and soak it in. RIP Jimmy.

Clearly we have an excellent side. If you could add one ex Sunderland player, from your time watching the lads, to add to the side and make a difference, who would it be? I settled on Bent. I know it was short lived but he was borderline the perfect premier league striker. And he thrived...

Is back baby! Telescore app. Just like the good old days of getting your footy news. Dump Twitter etc, go Teletext. It is the future.

I have seen a lot of folk talking about 17th this season as a huge success. I get that, up to a point. I have also seen posts that survival would eclipse last seasons success too. So what are folks thoughts, now the dust has settled on the tfr window and we have played 3. I am going to put...

Think I have done tbis before. But thought sod it, sometimes things are worth revisiting. And I am feeling wistful. Away golfing with the lads last weekend and we had a long debate on this one. Alcohol misguided many any an opinion. I love thinking back to teams that have made me love...

Thought this might be of interest to some. I met a lad I used to coach with for a coffee yesterday. He is a lot younger than me, but we formed a decent little team for a while. He is still coaching now and it is his profession. Our little combo was me and my relatively old school...

Time for neck on the block. We have all had our say. Make just two predictions to come true during the season. One to monitor and look back on. 1. Diarra to be subject of mega money bids next season. We may struggle to hold onto him. 2. Rigg to score 6 or more premier league goals.

Been thinking about posting this for a while. I dont want to be divisive in any way so have erred on the side of caution. But I thought maybe we can discuss and share. Probably an entirely selfish post too. I have to be honest I am not hugely enjoying the summer tfr window. I am not totally...

I have only just seen the video on the SAFC website. They were some duo those two. Brought back some tremendous memories watching that. Dennis Smith speaking well too, great to see him. Got me thinking a bit about those times. Some of the players we had were pretty goos for the time. Gates...

Here we go (Read that in your best Fabrizio voice). The next league is announced. Pints. Anything from Lager, Ale, Cider, Soft drinks. Even a good old ice water. Just no Snakebite, I am still scarred. I am going for a Jaipur from the Thornbridge brewery, near me. A rocket fuel IPA which...

I am no expert but I reckon I have seen more bloody cabbage whites this weekend than I did all of last year. Like a snow storm down the allotment (bit of an exaggeration). Is this some kind of bumper cabbage white year something? Nasty little buggers mind. Pretty little sods, but lay eggs in...

Here you go pop pickers. I fancy this one could be feisty, and no doubt some left field suggestions like a choccy digestive sarnie :emoticon-0127-lipss I am kicking off with what has to be a big odds on fav. Bacon Sarnie. White bread, tom sauce.

Right, next up, Sweets. What a category this could be. I have loved my sweets, always got them on the go in the motor. Same format. Nominate, argue, and take the pee. Top 10 goes to a vote. I am going to kick off with two legends of the sweet stall. Tray toffee with brazil notes...

As a deviation from the tfr thread. Name 1 player, no matter how realistic, you would have to make the big difference this coming season. Just for giggles, and to not mess up the main thread. For me. Alessandro Bastoni. The ultimate modern day CB. Pure Italian footballing beauty. He mixes...

Ok folks. Back on it after I lost momentum on my ice cream thread. I feel this one has legs. Haway the biscuits. So much choice. No rules, any count. We vote for our top 10 and those coveted championship places. This time I will be less biased on what wins. My kick off. Ginger Nut...

Friday night, earned a treat. Love a choc ice me. Vanilla ice cream, chocolate that shatters when you bite in. Lush. Ah, hang on, I have an idea...

Just treated myself. Still celebrating last weekend. :1980_boogie_down: Small one though. Bloody lovely thay are.

Looks like the premier league can charge them after all, and any points deduction will apply next season in the championship. Athletic reporting could be a 12 point deduction, maybe more, they go for. Then there is a prospect of the EFL going after them for promotion season spending. Also...

Just to pass some time. Which team wins. Follow up with your own fantasy game for debate too. I have gone with players I have seen in my time only. Team Messi. Buffon Lahm, Baresi, Koeman, Roberto Carlos, Pirlo, Xavi, Messi, Zidane, Platini Ronaldo (Brazillian vintage) Team Maradona...
