    33 years and still going

    I wanted Leicester to win the Premier League the season they did. It was a statement that sometimes team spirit and man management can overcome money. I’ll concede that they’re only where they are because of being bankrolled by a billionaire but the transformation from relegation fodder to...

    Interesting Trust Action

    I agree and wasn’t trying to suggest trust involvement in a board is a bad thing or inevitably so. That was just lazy on my part. Apologies. mind you whenever I hear about fan-led clubs I think of Peter Risdale at Leeds let his supporter instincts ruj rampant until the Club became his vanity...

    Interesting Trust Action

    Trust-owned Exeter City served notice on manager Paul Tisdale when the club were going through a poor patch of form. The notice was 18 months iirc. It came to a conclusion after their form had transformed remarkably and Tisdale’s stock was high. His final game in charge was the play-off final...

    Rebecca Long-Bailey sacked

    Is this show still broadcast on Russia Today? As for what RBL did wrong... 1) she publicly endorsed an interview with an activist who explicitly said that the killing of George Floyd in the USA was explicitly tied to the military training provided by the state of Israel. Criticism of Israel is...

    Tom Flanagan

    Look if he comes we should get behind him. I’ve seen him play against us twice. The first at the SoL when he had a total ‘mare. In the Netflix docu he admits to being abused in the street by Sunderland fans because of that game. In the second I thought he had a decent game defensively but...

    Transfer Rumour Callum O'Hare - Confirmed

    Kevin Gallacher once reported back for pre-season training with an Achilles injury caused by wearing flip-flops on holiday. That would be peak Coventry City except it was overtaken by the caller to the skyBlue Phone in who after the first game (win vs Middlesbro) called to say he knew...

    I asked around some old GMKers - thought Curtis wd be the best bet but came up w nothing. Knowler was asking around a few of the other old hands but wasn’t looking good.

    Tom Flanagan

    He played really badly in the 5-4 at the SoL. One of the highlights of the Netflix romcom was his reaction to being abused in the streets by Sunderland fans after that game. He had a decent enough game at St Andrews defensively but missed a shocking Chance with a free header that should have...

    change that to Coventry Specials and I’m in* * until Adi V leaves for a managerial post over the summer or they’re both sacked if we’re in the relegation zone on Bonfire Night.

    Realistic signings

    bloody hell. I’ve just got over the shock of the Sunderland messageboard being full of reasonable and balanced views about us and our season and you show me a V*le one with similar level-headed appraisals of themselves and us and a player we had on loan from them. Insight and even intelligence...
