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

tim is yr cardboard cut-out watching this

Not in the ground. I have a cardboard cutout here at home to watch the game for me.

magnificent! if you reach the final you should design & print a collectible exeter squad imo

No point. If they were worth anything the premier league would steal them.

we paid u good money to train up your manager as a born winner iirc

oh wait it was a free transfer lol

Fully formed when he left, took us a while to fix him after he arrived back from Charlton IIRC.

i hadn't been aware he was involved in a successful playoff campaign for u as a player

and it wasn't us what spoilt him, it was the motley crew of cheltenhams he struggled thru before retiring obv

sorry i mean 'the likes of cheltenham' pax no returns

great keeping lol

He was in the team that thrashed Charlton 3-0 at yours (the Valley was pretty full that day because you made it v cheap to try to attract some fans for an unattractive game, heh).

football for a fiver! we usually screw those up

(The best team in our recent history met the worst team in yours that season, I suspect.)

(i think you are correct)

in the spirit of the zing, just noticed you are sponsored by a company that literally went bust!

Oh mate. A sponsor zing.

at least it isn't yet another betting firm lol

dodgy keeping at both ends, your lot kept in it by some serious atonement from the gentleman with a religious beard

good tie rly

other one seems a bit tasty too, will tune in now

Talking of men with religious beards:

So... this was a "crowdie"? Did someone pay £25 to install OBL on a seat at Elland Rd?

now that's value for money

covid has completely saved us, got to say

when you hate Boro and their cunt manager but you hate Stoke even more

if last week was the death-blow to Hull then this week is the stake through the heart

Luton look like the ones to watch out for now, glad our GD is so much better than theirs

Saddled with a terrible owner, don't own their own ground, real trouble ahead

so are we going to see the red-and-white wembley playoff hoodoo defeated tonight

I don’t imagine so. Never know though, eh?

based on having seen the semis, exeter are a better and more controlled and classy side, but northampton have strong chaos energy which could prevail

I think that’s about right.

Cardboard cut outs sneaking out at half time etc

turn on the stream, northampton long throw causing chaos, exeter flowing passing move leading to nothing

football's a bastard

exeter player going through on goal slows, checks, bundles it out for a goal kick

northampton almost score immediately

exeter's keeper is having an absolute stormer

northampton get the first shot on target at the other end too, just for shits

plymouth's manager here to rub it in from the analysis couch

'keir starmer has modelled his look on morrissey'

no you haven't keir. behold the master of the craft: joey barton

My completely irrational dislike of Danny Cowley is partly mitigating how sad it is to see Huddersfield reduced to this.

there is nothing irrational about disliking the dim, flat-track bully. He's fucking horrible and he is the brains and charm of the family.

lol all the useless duffer clubs at the bottom losing/already lost. Wigan down to 10 at Barnsley, locked at 0-0.

lol fuck off Warnock!

fuck me it's like they're all fighting to go down

fuck knows what is wrong with this lot, including my lot I would add. Maybe a bit of complacency because of the Wigan points deduction? The Rona? They've all been up late doing whatever unsavoury habits they picked up during lockdown? They are probably all just shit tbf!

Wigan 6-0 vs Hull before half time.

can't work out if that's good or bad, but we play wigan at the weekend so um

7!

What on earth is going on?

I don’t think I’ve seen anyone score seven in one half since Spurs beat Wigan 9-1.

8-0

There is an air of grim resignation here in the pub
