Warming-up. Hope he doesn't have to take a pen.

Thee nil-nils in this shit show of a round.

Take a wild stab in the dark...

Lovely goal from Brighton.

No Arsenal, no Spurs... please win this.

Bruno warming-up? (just heard song)

I was there earlier this evening. Fucking well pissed-off with their lack of top sport coverage.

Mind?

Just seen Burn header. Sooo should have scored.

It's a fucking wonder. Fair play.

To be fair, suspect he is only just getting used to the whole laughing thing.

We're all 'enjoying' retro/vintage style football appreciation. You're going to have to join in.

Bandito!

Keep guessing, Scotty! I'm liking your text more than the commentary.

Love that tune! Crowd sounds great for a bunch of cup tie randoms!

Howay the Lads!

Two devices, if possible.

Didn’t look like it had, relying on memory, against Tranmere.

Soooo, jetted over to USA via Nord Airlines for this and it’s not on Peacock ?‍♂️

Five players who started, in their away win, on Sunday starting for them. Three who started in ours.

This was the team for Tranmere. Palace a different proposition, hoping for minimal changes from best current 11, but might see some of below get a run out. Particularly Lascelles.

That awful man. I know it’s five years ago, but feel for you. (oh, and perhaps you better stay away ?)

I was curious to know which teams, in PL era, were most comparable to Sunderland in terms of league position. I’ve grouped the teams who have had between 15 and 18 seasons in the top flight (they’ve had 16) and included ourselves (28) for comparison. Still not answered my question, but not much between them and Middlesbrough. nb. Boro’s average is 21st in the country, there’s is 20th (ours 12th).

We’ve not long since had three games in eight days, with pretty much the same starting line-up. As you say, we’ve a break coming so only change I expect on Wednesday is Joelinton instead of Murphy. Perhaps Wood if Wilson still iffy.

I was wondering, which teams have comparable top-flight, or overall league finishes (1-20 PL, 21-44 Championship, 45-49 D1, 50-74 D2 etc) to Sunderland. Any ideas?
