I'm heading up for the weekend with my 6 year old - going to be a long long train journey but well worth it if we get a result. We usually draw 1-1 which I'd be very happy with. Less happily, our last result at The Stadium of Light at this level was a 7-0 thrashing in 1998, which upset me so much at the time that I burst into tears when I saw the result!

Back then Sunderland would play James Brown's "I feel good" after every goal. I remember listening to the game on Radio Ox and the coverage was basically...
"Sunderland are through on goal, it's pulled back...
WOW! I FEEL GOOD "The corner is inswinging, the balls not cleared...
WOW! I FEEL GOOD "There's space in behind here, can he find a red and white shirt...
WOW! I FEEL GOOD "And he's been dispossessed there, they could be in again
WOW! I FEEL GOOD Still can't listen to that song.

Blimey, I really hope this isn't repeated. The journey home will feel twice as long, and its long enough already!
My ticket was in the 900's, although I am not sure if this actually has any correlation to the travelling numbers.

Music after a goal is just crap anyway.

I'm wrong! I'd worked out 800 because I though the seating and standing were both counting down. But on closer inspection the seating is counting down, but the standing is counting up.
That makes sense because you sit down, but you stand up

Didn't even click on the clip, and I've already got Thom Yorke yelling about the raindrops in my head......
......was wondering how Sunderland were top of the league, and taking a look at their team over the weekend and they basically seem to be a couple of experienced CBs and then a bunch of extremely talented kids. Their midfield playmaker only turned 17 in the summer!
Naturally, I now think we should play our biggest, ugliest XI against them and kick them up in the air a lot.

Yeah, my uncle's a Sunderland fan and he said the team's mainly a load of kids that are bound to get found out soon. However, if I could describe Sunderland supporters general outlook it would be resigned with a hint of doom. There's always a reason they won't do well (last season it was apparently not having a striker).

Yep, I remember that 7-0 thrashing. I think 2-0 within 10 minutes or so.
But then somehow we had two superb home wins v QPR & West Brom.
Then a few weeks later managed to concede 7 again v Birmingham at home.
The Santa Hat game. And we had beaten them 1-0 at St Andrews a few months earlier.

Today my 12 points go to.........
THE TICKET OFFICE !!!!
I was booking 4 tickets last night for Sinderland away and got fully timed out whilst waiting for confirmation so tried again and got logged out due to poor connection. Third time lucky I got my tickets booked. However one of the previous transacruons went through so I had 8 tickets booked. Lucky it wasn't 12 really.
Anyway before I could roll out of my pit this morning the ticket office phoned me to check the transaction. I called them back and they have processed one lot and refunded me the ones that went through in error.
What a fantastic service !!

You forgot to mention Windass scored the goal of the game to make it 7-1.................If memory serves me correctly. By this time most of the London Road were across the road in the Standard (Royal Standard to give it the correct title). Wonderful, wonderful days..... despite the results.
I stayed in the LRT to the end. I can't remember when we scored, I think we made it 1-5, and started singing 'We're gonna win 6-5'

Nope, we were 7-0 down and scored the last goal of the game. We proper celebrated though. I remember Danny Baker somehow got an audio clip of it and played it repeatedly on 606 saying how amazed he was we cheered so loudly given the circumstances. Slightly brightened up the journey back to London that evening.
