I feel ashamed. I got offered one of our tickets late last night. Got up at 7 and had a walk with the dog. Lashing down, blowing a hooly, so I have made a big mug of tea and stayed home. My lad, Derby daft, up at same time and no dramas straight off to Leeds with mates. 3 hours in a car, on my own, while I could be in front of the box warm and dry, sorry lads. Hope they turn it on for everyone there.
I suggest you head back out find a thorny branch strip naked in a farmer’s field and whip yourself into a frenzy then watch the game at home sore but better for it
I am in midlands mate. It is canny wild at the minute. My brother is in the lakes and reckons it is rough. West certainly seem to be worst off.
As I saw my lad and his mates off in their car this morning they said I should do worse than that mate
Jumped the Plymouth train but all trains are restricted to 50mph so I’ll miss my Sunderland train … I’ll hopefully make the one that arrives at 12.01 and straight to the SOL. I’ll have to be brave and start drinking on this train Tell them not to score until I'm in
The ticket fella just came and checked my ticket but I've perfected my ‘confused old man’ routine and he gave up … … tbf it doesn’t take much doing these days
Haha nice one. My next suggestion was gonna be speak to him in fluent French I'm sure you would have picked some of that up. That would have messed with him.
Looking at it from a purely human perspective I say you have made the right call. From a Sunderland fans perspective however you should be ashamed. Enjoy your mug if tea and your warm house at least we will get to see the goals about 5 seconds before you.
Absolutely lashing down. Get an early goal and they wont want to be here. Big hoof up to Wilson 1st goal 37 seconds and were sorted. Obviously a nervy 89 minutes to follow as we sit back trying to protect our lead
Hats off to the lads and lasses braving the conditions and spending hard earned money for the cause. Not that I was going anyway but I'll enjoy it with a cup of tea.
Just had the dog out its starting to get a bit wild. More gusty wind than anything at the minute but it's not pleasant. Anyway I'm about to set off let's do these bastards.
