    My son was the Sunderland mascot that day.

    At that time there was only one home mascot but Bob Murray arranged it for me. We went into the Sunderland dressing room and the lads made a big fuss of him.

    He scored in the warm up so that made his day …

    … shame about the result but memories are memories.

    Aye, finish nights on the morning. Lads probably driving so I'll try and persuade him to go early so I can have a few pre match beers :emoticon-0148-yes: <laugh>
    Last time we went to Preston Larry Grayson was the flip chart coach and we couldn't get a shot on target in the warm up <laugh>

    Aye still a great memory for me mate. That discovery of away games. Was mainly London games due to family ties them days.

    I will always miss White Hart Lane, that was easily my favourite away ground when used to go regular.

    Spurs fans don’t get the credit for atmosphere WHL was fantastic for it, dunno how the new gaff is.

    I'll be a bit disappointed if we don't come away with a win here.

    By all the attacking metrics I go by, QPR are a poor attacking side. Goals (21st), non penalty xG (22nd), non penalty xG per shot (23rd), xAG (19th), big chances created (23rd).

    They have some interesting players that we need to be wary of; Dembele, Chair, Saito and Madsen in particular. But also some major weak areas as well, especially in defence. They didn't have a fit left back in the squad against Burnley and instead started Ashby out of position there.

    Personally would go with an unchanged 11 from last weekend. Looking forward to seeing Mayenda back fit though, thought he was great to start the season especially out of possession so I'm intrigued to see how RLB handles having multiple good striking options. I want a big game from Roberts especially if they don't have a natural left back playing.

    0-2. Roberts and Cirkin.

    Think us men are so hard to buy for, I get asked every year and my answers the same....nowt..I don't 'need ' anything, so it'll end up with various whisky bottles and that's fine by me.
    Remember as a youngster having the same problem with my dad.

    I don't know much about them but I do think our top scorer is only level with theirs (Sarcasm btw) ...

    ... Frey is injured I think so they need a new hero who can get the better of our defence.

    It's difficult to see us not scoring tomorrow, especially if Isidor is fit, which would leave us Connolly and Mayenda on the bench. They seem scared of our wingers and we can always bring Roberts off for Mayenda and let Isidor play on the right side for half an hour.

    I don't think we'll need to though, I'd like to see a cool clinical performance and 'rest' a few for Preston.

    No disrespect to QPR but they can't do what they did at Burnley with 25% possession and no goal attempts. Only a mistake, a poor referee or a wonder goal can beat us in my opinion.

    If the mrs buys me anything ornamental it slowly makes it's way from the mantelpiece, to a window ledge, to the door <laugh>
    When she asked me yesterday and I mentioned such like. She said she wasn't buying me tat to clutter up the house.
    I said "just either get me fook all or the usual shìt". :emoticon-0148-yes: <laugh>

    I wonder if any bloke ever thought to himself, “you know what, I could just do with some new socks, skiddies and hankies for Christmas”
