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.

 

I think Birmingham will get to at least the Play-Offs. They have the backing, they spent £20m almost on a player in League 1. They clearly have ambition with the stadium plans. They'll be in there.

Listened to a podcast today about the 1985 league cup final, I didn't know a lot about it but the guest was a local player and sound bloke to be flair who was blamed for Norwich's winner and was subject to constant abuse, including a broken eye socket, in 'sun'lun', not just the foreign lads who have felt the wearside wrath:

Played non league football with Corner after he got finished at Sunderland, one of the funniest blokes I shared a changing room with! Some of his stories are mind blowing… he got punched and kicked in a lot of bars even a long time afterwards

Just seen this, I know they're totally broken, I know their bitterness is on a different level currently, but that is the biggest idiotic quote I think I've ever seen. Even the other mackems have used the laughing emoji when replying

It’s top logic, the promoted teams from the championship have shown there’s nothing between the leagues
