Sunderland 'Til I Cry: EFL and beyond 19/20

Hahaha

The highlight was our official account celebrating victory in the 89th minute, before commentators curse struck.

Sheffield fucking Wednesday :D

Rotherham down to ten and incapable of beating an egg at the best of times.. there's hope for all of us!

McCarthy's thugball Cardiff side are the worst, it was like watching a tribute team to every Warnock side of the 90's. They only ever look like scoring from set pieces and have been beating sides with 20-30% possession. I hate them more than Leeds rn! And last night Aaron Rowe won us a pen and up steps the guy who got voted the worst Arsenal player of all time and looking nervous and awkward and not up for it at all and then blasts it wide. Our 4th penalty miss of the season.

Big Mick's back baby

It really is a indictment of the champo that such a boring, grisly anti-football side are in playoff contention. Gl Cardiff!

mind you at one point I heard a bbc Leeds commentator say that Warnock's Middlesbrough were averaging one shot per game, and they didn't say one shot on target. But their big playoff push seems to have faded since.

lol @ Bournemouth. or some might have it Boscombe Manor.

lmao we're playing Birmingham City the mother of all hospital passes, what a glorious day

oh it's official now!

he'll be thanking the new-manager gods for Rotherham being so wretched, but brum have previous for escaping on the last day if it gets a bit sticky

fingers x'd

Woking have gone public to say Saturday is shit or bust for them, if they don't win the semi them they're furloughing all their plays and (presumably) not completing the season.

To help(?) this state of affairs they have signed two new players for the semi. One of whom is cuptied because he played for Slough in an earlier round thus ineligible. Fucking tinpot.

I have met a Woking fan, a teenager. Poor lad

There's a Woking fan on ilx, though I don't think she hangs about on this thread.

idk, seems like they might be a fun club to support. Remember in the 90s they used to win the Trophy almost every year, decent FA cup record too

Woking itself a grim place tho lol

All aboard the banter bus

1-0 up at half time. Been a decent enough game, 2 or 3 decent chances to both sides but their marking poor for the goal. Other semi might be the one to watch though as its currently 2 each.

WEMBERLEE

legs all trembly y/n?

Week after FA cup final so will be able to go as well.

wooooo I might actually go, with my one child who may be interested

read that as "might be arrested" for a minute lol i love this cuntry

have a mate who's a Hornchurch fan, would almost be tempted to join him lol

After the QF County seemed to be telling their fans they had had the nod for 5k each to be let in. Let's see.

someone check on calz maybe

can't even totally scapegoat the less than useless on loan keeper who steals a 20 grand a week wage at his parent club and will never play for a professional club again when he's released this summer. No it was a team effort.

Ouch. The thread title reminds me that I saw a clip of Aiden McGeady scoring last night and I had no idea he was still playing.

Are Sunderland.........stumbling?

Could there be another date with playoff destiny?

Tonight's shirt 👌

Looking good, @strikesltd!#htafc

Looking good!

literally this

Can't believe @StreathamRovers has now been suspended by Twitter. An account that tweets only non-league football satire.

Have to say their chosen kit sponsor Herod Eviction Services now looks highly ironic #streatham pic.twitter.com/BDSFSIAYtO

I know!

but... worse?

on such things people make relegation wishes

well I'm still going to try and enjoy watching us arsehole Barnsley in 5 mins .. despite everything 🤮

they've deleted the tweet and presumably the sponsor in the last two minutes lmao

felt like covs recent results should have us safe this year but if we can hold this tonight, glory days :)

they might have deleted the tweet but they haven't deleted the shirts

there is no way we deserved to lose this game - oh yeah hang on a min we deserved to lose 10-0 actually!

about 3-4 players returning back on the pitch in various states of unfitness tonight that would have had us at least 20 pts ahead if they hadn't got injured in january

just parking this here so it's on the permanent record in the annals of ilx.

is this still not a news story anywhere?

no it should be a story and there ought to be a grovelling apology from the chairman and the commercial dept. I'm getting even more angry about this - feel like switching my allegiance to Bradford Park Avenue it's pissed me off that much. Not just the proud anti-GRT stuff on their twitter banner and the pro-Trump stuff and the fact that leg-breakers are even lower vermin than payday lenders. I perhaps naively expect better from a club that makes so much noise about all their outreach work in the community blah blah blah.. oh just fuck 'em.

plenty of 'strikes' going in today
