Sunday Ref Announced
He referees our Play off final and exactly a year on he will be refereeing our biggest game of the last few decades. Plus the fucker owes us for not giving us a penalty vs Liverpool

SAFC OBSCURE XI
Hi MLF. To contrast how sensational our current crop has performed this season, I shall be traipsing down memory lane to pick a team comprising some of the less heralded stars to ever don the resplendent red and white.
Recall, wince and bewilder as we revisit some of the more forgettable, intangible, occasionally regrettable players to grace Wearside over the past 30 years…
GOALKEEPER: Andy Marriott
Signed by Peter Reid from Wrexham for £200,000 in 1998 following an initial loan period, the welsh international was a football league veteran signed as a definitive understudy to rising Danish superstar Thomas Sorensen. He made only 5 appearances between the sticks for the lads, with his only top flight outing shown in the photo above, wearing the sleek Asics goalkeeper strip from the 99-00 season.
He moved on to Barnsley in 2001 having done nothing of note at the SOL, replaced by the more flamboyant Jurgen Macho. Nevertheless he was part of the squad which won the Division 1 title with a then record points haul in 1999.
Unfortunately Marriott is best remembered for an infamous incident with Robbie Keane whilst playing for Birmingham City in 2003, whereby he dropped the ball at his feet, totally oblivious that the deadly striker was lurking just behind him. Keane swiftly nipped around him, stole the ball, and rolled it into an empty net.

Til The End
After the Everton game, a commentator mentioned that Sunderland have accumulated the most points from losing positions this season. (Top with 22)
So proud of the Lads as I remember many games where they went a goal down and just gave up. The saying Til The End has never been so apt!
My question is what do you think has caused this shift? The coach or Xhaka maybe?

Big Dan Ballard
Popped over to Norn’ Iron to see family, visited an M&S (humble brag) and whose face should I see but this big beautiful hair stroking bastard!

Enzo
Is Enzo the best player to ever play in a Sunderland top?
He’s outrageously brilliant.
I’m 33, he’s the best of my generation that’s for sure.
Mark mcnulty to Enzo Le Fee man.

Surely you must call him Mr Brobbey don't you?
Everton fan here, watched you lot do us over at the weekend, well played. Brobbey seems like a solid striker, but the whole game I couldn't get the bloody Mr Blobby song out of my head, surely you must sing that for him when he scores? Or am I alone?!

Looking for an interview
I'm looking for an interview that was shared about Twitter at the start of the season where some guy is going "yeah Sunderland you've done well, enjoy your season up here but you'll be back where you belong" or something to that effect.
I think it was a West Ham fan, or ex player and think it was Jermain Jena's conducting the interview, as I believe he told the bloke that the SOL can be rocking and it's a tough place to go.
Does anyone know what I am talking about and have a link? I'd love to watch it and laugh while West Ham go down.
Cheers.

Our paths to Europe, let me know if I’m missing one
1- Chelsea beat Spurs, we beat Chelsea on Championship Sunday and Liverpool draw to Brentford well finish 8th I’m pretty sure for Conference League football
2- Spurs beat Chelsea, Brentford AND Brighton lose and we beat Chelsea to get Europa League football
3- We bottle it all… BUT this 60 point deduction I’m hearing about comes true, we finish 9th, Man City gets moved down to 18th and we get moved up to 8th and get Conference League. This won’t happen though
Is this every scenario?

Chance to make Europe just skyrocketed!
A win over Chelsea and either a Brighton loss or Brentford loss/draw and we are in Europe! Brighton play Man U and Brentford play Liverpool. What a time to be alive! Haway!

Step closer to Europe
What an incredible season, I know we said this before but what a brilliant season. Highest PL points in recent years, a team that has showed resilience, belief and determination and today’s match was a reflection of that. One match left and the Europe dream can become reality. Ha’way the lads!!
