Gonna kick this one off!

My girlfriend’s first home game this (she previously was treated to Milton Keynes Away) and I have a good record with these threads (Charlton 3-2 I’m taking total credit for), so I’m hoping for a nice comprehensive win in a bouncing Grenoble Rd.

3-0 (Dickie, Mackie, Browne)
 
Is maguire suspended for this or not? 1-1 with maguire (if playing) and late equaliser from Ruffels
Would love to get the win but would settle for a draw and then go on a bit of a winning streak
 
Grigg an obvious worry but Sunderland also brought Grant Leadbitter back in the transfer window, getting on a bit but likely to be a big midfield presence in L1.
 
Eastwood
Hanson Nelson Dickie Ruffels
Henry Mous Brannagan
Whyte Mackie Graham

2-0, Graham + Sinclair
 
1-1, Dickie from a corner in the first half with Maguire equalising late from distance with a big deflection off of Dickie.

9,999 as the crowd, 1,800 odd (some very) of the greatest, most down to earth, loyal fans in attendance from the poor mans Newcastle, 9.6 million of them outside all sharing one bag of Walkers prawn cocktail and a can of Tizer.

I’ll keep predicting defeats because we’re due one. Oxford 0 Sunderland 2. Both goals in the first 25 mins and then a boring 65 mins to sit through.

Should the very unlikely happen and we beat them, they’ll all be off on the 70th minute as they usually were during their PL days.

As Gary Lineker once said on MOTD, ‘beat the traffic at the Stadium I’d Light by staying right to the end’.

That's a pretty scandalous comment. Repeat after me (ad nauseum): 'Sunderland AFC are huge and their fans are the best'.

There will be 1,800 Mackems in the away area, 3,000 more in the home areas, several thousand around town letting down the Range Rover tyres of every posh southerner they can find, and countless others watching the match on a big screen back on Wearside while bowing to a giant statue of Charles.

All will stay until the end of the match, even though all hope of a point had vanished on 30 minutes with the scoring of Oxford's third goal.

Maguire to score. Other than that, I’m not predicting the actual score.
 
Forgettable match with minimal incident.

At the final whistle, however, the majority of both sets of 'supporters' will erupt into a rousing chorus of "Charlie is my darling" followed by a moving appeal from the 'home supporters' in the form of "Will ye no' come back again?". [songsheets sponsored by British Gas}

These 'supporters' will then mingle in the stadium, which is wreathed in a halo of love and peace, arm in arm swapping encomia on each others' team, domiciles and selves, paying special attention to the achievements of daughters in a non-intrusive, non-judgmental sort of way.

While this is happening a big bag of methane will go off in the directors' box and every one within the ground will die, suffocated and burned horribly.

Does the dog get it as well?
 
Tomorrow is pretty massive TBH, not just our game but others too - a lot of the teams around us in the table have on paper fairly winnable games. We could, worst case, find ourselves 3 points from safety come 5pm tomorrow.
But I'm on the positive, so will go for a resounding 2-0 victory, Mackie and Browne, in front of a partizan 10,377 crowd. COYY.

We almost certainly need 50 to 52 points t9 stay up.
A draw would be a decent result and win would be huge regardless of how the others do.
 
Dunno why , Im overflowing with confidence for tomorrows match, weve not given anyone a real tonking this season (yet) .... weve not yet won away, and only got our first home league draw of the season v Barnsley... I feel them Mackams are in for a proper thrashing Oufc 4 mackems 0 .... Sinclair with a brace plus Ruffles & Browne with 1 apiece UTM
 
I posted the below in the original Sunderland game thread, but Malc decided to close the thread 20 minutes later! So I've copied it below for those who may wish to read it or comment. Really not sure why the other thread had to be closed?!?!?!

"Well we've done it.

The club announced 10,108 sales about half an hour ago. I've just done a count up and make it as follows:

North - 2,322 (253 left) = 90.17% occupancy
East - 2,215 (664 left) = 76.94% occupancy
S Lower - 1,947 (355 left) = 84.58% occupancy
S Upper - 1,953 (221 left) = 89.83% occupancy
Away - 1,823
Total - 10,260 = 84.96% home areas occupancy

So a slight difference, (which may be to do with processing of sales?) but a good effort and possibly another few hundred to come. We've sold 162 since The Curragh posted five hours ago, (about 300 on the club's reckoning) so I'd think 10,500 is not impossible. It's interesting to see how the East Stand appears less popular than previously and I think this is due to the increased popularity of the North Stand.

Bloody good job we didn't give Sunderland that extra 1,000 tickets!!!"
