South Stand mate. They have it planned well with everyone in there for the same reason. I have been in with my eldest when he has a spare. It is brilliant to be fair. Although the arsehole points out I am a mackem and a couple gave me the look

Great work, just (hopefully )3 to go RTB. ,many thanks. Just looking for a confidence boosting back to the win 'feel good' for the lads today. I'm watching for a couple of things which annoy me, maybe my mind has just exaggerated , but it feels as though we lose a bit of impetous with them. 1) sometimes a side pass is the only option or the best one, but when the receiver is in loads of space, can't the ball go a yard in front instead of to feet- he can then keep body position and sight forward instead of turning slightly inwards and waiting. 2) Seems so often when we get a free kick just inside their half , instead of getting it forward to begin attacking, we pass back- and often it's because an opposition player is standing over ball. Referee does nothing, and we just accept it , never indicating to ref that we have been prevented from taking. Maybe going back ensures possession, but think it sometimes gives the opposition an extra moment to organise. ( when we win 2-0 today and each goal starts with one of those scenarios, please ignore all this )
Considering we have nothing riding on today (other than who will we play in the playoff semis) I'm very excited about today's fixtures. There is so much still up for grabs, and most fixtures still mean something.
Went to York this morning, far too hot in these clothes. Now outside the ground and think I’ve got it ready that for Sunderland.
