dave s Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 This should be fun 🍿 Now, Saudi Arabia appears poised to extend a similar lifeline to Nissan—not simply as a financial investment, but as part of a shared strategic vision for the future of electric mobility. https://www.digitimes.com/news/a20250411PD214/foxconn-nissan-saudi-arabia-ev-manufacturing.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decky Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 (edited) Heard about this Vertu Trophy final over the weekend and wondered what the fuck it was. Turns out it's the EFL Trophy, which reminds me that because of this trophy, Sunderlands senior mens team have played a competitive match against our U21 side. Absolutely shocking that.

Wallsendmag Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 They'll be fucked anyway. If they do come up they'll have a very modest transfer budget thanks to PSR and all the accumulated loses they've made over the years, and most if that will be what they've got to pay for Le Fee. They'll be what Southampton are this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd imagine at least 2 of the 3 going down will be at the top again. They need to get out of that league this year. Expand I’m not sure about Birmingham City to be honest. Some teams have steamrolled their way out of League One and flopped in the Championship, others have dogged their way out of it and done back to back promotions. I actually think Sunderland will win the play offs. The only team there who I thought would beat them would be Burnley, and it looks like them and Leeds are getting promoted, both teams can actually secure it if they win their respective games on Good Friday and Bank holiday Monday. So yeah, I think Sunderland will beat whoever they get in the semi’s over 2 legs, and likely play Sheffield United in the final, which I think they’ll win.
