Has anyone had any good football dreams (I have)?
My two are (not sure if they are good mind) -
Last week I dreamt we lost our first game 7-3. Really. We went one down but had it back to 3-2 at half time. We must have collapsed in the second half but I didn't see it as I was walking around trying to find a TV to watch it on and didn't find one til the end.
Please don't put any money on this happening, as we were also playing Coventry for some reason, not West Ham.
My other one was that I once dreamt I was Kevin Phillips. I found this out when I was talking to Nial Quinn and he kept calling me Kevin!

I tend to get dreams that amplify any anxiety in life. They can be quite disconcerting.
Back in my playing days, if it was a big game, I would invariably dream about something getting in the way of me playing. I really common one was finding my kit bag empty in the changing rooms. Another was missing the bus to away matches and not having a clue where we were meant to be playing. They really used to wind me up to be honest.
As for Sunderland, not so much. Although I did dream we won the 92 cup final 3-0 the night before the game! I didnt put 10p on it.

Is Stack worth a visit? Would you include it in a day out to Sunderland?
Not yet
It will open for one day for the women's world cup but close again to enable finishing cosmetic work to be done.
That does look quite a bit like me. I have lots of nightmares.
A meteorite that crashed into a home in the US is older than planet Earth, scientists have said.
The object flew through the skies in broad daylight before exploding across the state of Georgia on 26 June, Nasa confirmed.
Researchers at the University of Georgia examined a fragment of the rock that pierced the roof of a home in the city of McDonough.
They found that, based on the type of meteorite, it is expected to have formed 4.56 billion years ago, making it roughly 20 million years older than Earth.
Residents in Georgia and nearby states reported hundreds of sightings and a loud booming noise when the fireball tore through the skies.
The rock quickly diminished in size and speed, but still travelled at least 1 km per second, going through a man's roof in Henry County.
Multiple fragments that struck the building were handed over to scientists, who analysed their origins.
"This particular meteor that entered the atmosphere has a long history before it made it to the ground of McDonough," Scott Harris, a geologist at the University of Georgia, said.
Using optical and electron microscopy, Harris and his team determined the rock was a chondrite - the most abundant type of stony meteorite, according to Nasa , external- which meant that it was approximately 4.56 billion years old.
The home's resident said he is still finding pieces of space dust around his home from the hit.
The object, which has been named the McDonough meteorite, is the 27th to have been recovered from Georgia.
"This is something that used to be expected once every few decades and not multiple times within 20 years," Harris said.
"Modern technology, in addition to an attentive public, is going to help us recover more and more meteorites."
Harris is hoping to publish his findings on the composition and speed of the asteroid, which will help to understand the threat of further asteroids.
"One day there will be an opportunity, and we never know when it's going to be, for something large to hit and create a catastrophic situation. If we can guard against that, we want to," he said

RIP Ray Brooks. Most won’t recognise his name, but for those of a certain age you’ll certainly remember his most famous part.

Pretty much what Mrs K said. She thought he sounded old when he did the show.
I used to love watching that.
One for the oldies: loved it when he was on the See Saw on BBC.

Mega hot in the canny lad beer garden in Sunderland. Having a quick one before heading through to a hotel for the night with the Mrs.
Had to reduce the quality of the image as the original was too larger for the forum server to handle. (Edit - still looks canny TBF).
