Sunderland

*still engaged tone*

  Ben (Benglorious): Second game of the season today and my username and password for this site still haven’t been revoked.  In light of this, I’ve decided that I’m going to up my game in the preview stakes and finally put my name on the Top Red map.  Not today, though. After last week’s 1-0 […]

Benno (@Benglorious):   The Bobbins:  A Tale of Trying King Alexander had ruled Traffordonia for nearly thirty years.  He was much respected by his enemies and beloved by his people because during his reign the kingdom had flourished, and was the envy of the whole world.  Alexander knew that his time as king was coming […]

I was at a family wedding while this game was being comfortably won by us, so I don’t really have much to say. Because the family are awkward and that, and prawn sandwich eating Liverpool fans, they insisted on telling me the score at every available opportunity – just for something to say, other than […]

S’pose there’s no real harm in settling for the Charity Shield in your first year in charge. Well done! If we’re laughing at the referees, then someone needs to tell our collective face. There can be no excuse with regards to injuries, because that wouldn’t have been too far off the kind of team Moyes […]

This is the point where I usually do a thing about JOS, or perhaps Wesley, scoring an own goal, but instead this time I’ve just decided to reference doing that as a way of padding out the introduction. I don’t think JOS is fit anyway, and so Wesley is our only hope … he is, […]

. Tom (@Tom_McGhee): I’m saying nothing…. . Brett: The joys of seeing a Di Canio-less Sunderland and the late-summer sun caressing the delicate contours of JOS’s unconventionally beautiful face, have been cruelly snatched away from me by the mild, mild mess our club finds itself in. The only thing we can do is cross our […]
