Match Day Thread Sunderland AFC v Arsenal FC - Saturday 8th November 2025 - KO 17:30

Yes mate, Latin origins to do with intellect I fink.

 

Come on Sunderland

 

For some reason, lees nervous for this game than the Everton game as that is the opposition we need to take points off

 

HA'WAY THE LADS

MACKEMS ATTACKEM


The lad travelled up yesterday, think he went to a talk in at the SOL last night.

Can we win this ?
Yes, why not. I'm under no illusion how good arsenal are but at our best we can beat anyone.
We just have to be right on top of our game and hopefully get a bit of luck thrown in.
You know luck ? That thing that seemed to elude us for years until recently.

I'll take a draw and won't be too disappointed with a loss.
We've got a fantastic club, owner, staff and players and the best supporters in the world. And we're getting results.
Not much more to ask for really.
(Oh, please relegate the mags)


Top thread as always @RTB

Cheers


Cooooooomon

 

The view later today

 

Not happy about how windy it is mind. Might
even the game up and give them a chance

 

“…while we're involved in the top four contest“

Absolutely insane that this is the case. Amazing job by KLD and RLB. We won’t finish top four, but we have an incredible platform to grow on. Can’t wait for the match to see how we stack up.

These are the good old days.

 

RTB's attention to detail is amazing. Unlike mine. Have sorted out this morning and the last hour or so in order to be ready for ko. Just remembered it's 5:30.. 2 1/2 hours to fill now -- just as well in one of the morning tasks i got more beers in than I actually needed today.
Maybe it's a sign - good things come to those who wait- and with the dark nights now, 5:30 could be a night game under the lights --- I feel 5th round fa cup ManCity --- so lets shake up the football world 3-1 it is !!

 

It's a better thread than the ones I used to do over the road.

 

This weekend 6 out of the bottom 7 in games against each other. Extend that to 8 from bottom 9 with the mags game. ( only bottom Wolves the exception)
And we are not at this party !!

 

Same team as against Everton, same result acceptable

We were invited but Granit Xhaka intercepted it

 

This has already been my favourite game of the season… I was asked by an old guy in Sheepfolds why I am a Sunderland supporter (I have no northern accent!) explained that it’s a family thing, Dad from Roker…,was asked where the n Roker…Enid Avenue…asked surname…told him…”your dad wasn’t Billy was he?”
He bloody well was!!
Apparently they were friends growing up together…
I don’t much care what the result is - I met my old dads mate!
Was a tad awkward to explain he died a few years ago but…

 

A small world - have a great day

 

You and me know all about small worlds mate!!
