Looking forward to a Sunderland Wank fest on Sky.

It’s like Sunderland playing Sunderland reserves!

Looks have nothing to do with it, our lot are particularly beautiful set of lads though.

Aye, any team with Godden and Moore in it is going to be the most handsome

 

[Nick]

True, but this is the first game of the season and he hasn't had a chance to be kicked at which makes his absence even more strange considering how durable he is. Either he's going to Burnley or MR might be trying to outthink Sunderland's gameplan to nullify COH. Either way, just hope we have enough to win.

Outthink their game plan by pretending he's injured and leaving him out?

What the fuck is wrong with people???

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

Don’t get me started! Fucking unbelievable, we’re meant to be watching proper football.

Womens football is proper football, I dont think there was any negative intent in that but you may wanna rephrase your words

 

[fatso]

So he's bombed Kane off, Dabo on the bench and a midfielder at RWB?

Eccles will do a good job at RWB, not too concerned by that change. And I'f Dabo is on the bench he can't be too badly injured.
(If he's injured at all)
We really need Allen to step up today, much depends on how he can link up play, and I've always thought he was a bit lightweight.

 

[covcity4life]

Just came on to post this it’s actually hilarious

They have done loads of segments in cov ground issues over the years

Today's story is clearly Sunderland being back in championship. Silly to pretend otherwise.

He is about 4ft7 so of course he will look lightweight compared to what he’s up against

It's a different sport...

 

[SBT]

Wow. So Sky starts and they mention England Women and Sunderland.

Well that’s it then, season’s ruined.

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

Would be a Cov game on Sky without people crying because they’re talking about the opposition.

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

No its not, we both play football. Its not equal in standard at all, but we should still see it as football, its everyone’s game

 

[covcity4life]

Would be a Cov game on Sky without people crying because they’re talking about the opposition.

Imagine big crossover with people who think the ref is against us every game too

 

[David O'Day]

Come be worse, there was a game (think it could of been Brentford) where they had a member of the team we were playing coaching staff as studio guest

 

[The CableGuy]

God damn backheels.

 

[SBT]

Why aren’t they talking about Eccles at RWB? They’ve lost all sense of perspective.

 

[Nick]

Robins doesn't look like he's lying.

Love the jacket though.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Right fuck <- accidentally left this in but it’s a fair statement if my feelings.

Mrs Shmmeee had a fun morning at least

 

[Grendel]

The games are different. If it’s a mens ATA at tennis they wouldn’t be discussing the next womens tournament and those sports are more comparable

 

[junglej13]

We should have a threat from set pieces I think. Panzo obviously has added a goal threat but Bidwell and Sheaf add some physicality also.

 

[Alkhen]

OCD bugbear of mine, Sky just used our old badge in their graphics. Happens loads in the media. Not hard to get the current one surely.

 

[MalcSB]

God damn backheels.

Russo’s fault.

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

Of course the games are different but the sports aren’t, the quality is different. Im surprised its taken this lomg for it to get some form of recognition. Other sports have been more equal, even though there is a quality difference.

At the end of the day, its everyone’s game. (Not aimed at anyone) You cannot sit here and say that its not football as its women, thats like saying “its not gymnastics as its men”

a threat from corners. Means one thing. We will play every corner short today !

 

[steve101]

Sunderland have got some decent players. Just hope our experience counts. Need to have calm heads and get control early.

 

[stay_up_skyblues]

Panzo 10/1 anytime. Fill yer boots.

 

[AOM]

I have not missed this song

 

[Jamesimus]

If it wasn't for womens football, Callum wouldn't be injured. Womens football has a lot to answer for...

Nobody is saying it isn't everybodies game. It's saying it's completely different and people should stop trying to merge them.

 

[Sbarcher]

God damn backheels.

So used to kicking off her high heels.

 

[stay_up_skyblues]

Sunderland sponsored sky sports today?

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

No one is trying to merge them, they are trying to give the womens game more recognition as it deserves more as there are some actually quality players in the womens game. In a way people are saying its not everyones game as they are segregating it by saying “proper football”, “different sport”. You dont see this in Boxing, Tennis or Rugby

 

[Houchens Head]

Don't know if this has been posted - cba to scroll back through - but if you can bear the foreign commentary (or just mute) then watch the game here.... Sunderland vs Coventry City - HesGoal.Com Sports News

 

[It’sabatch87]

Panzo 10/1 anytime. Fill yer boots.

I had him 28/1 anytime and Cov win!!

 

[jordan210]

Why do Sunderland fans think they are a top 6 Championship side when they dint get top 2 in league 1

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

Anyways 4 minutes till K/O, Im looking forward to this one
