at last a football thread instead of all the political shit going on and on

Good team in a good bit of form, 4th in the league, won four of the last five, and drew the other, this a very difficult game, but we are on top form too, so it should be a cracker anything can happen!

Eleven goals in their last three games, SHOULD be high scoring.

Clarke has scored five in three games.


Blackburn 1 - 3 Sunderland
QPR 1 - 3 Sunderland
Sunderland 5 - 0 Southampton
Coventry 0 - 0 Sunderland
Sunderland 2 - 1 Rotherham

I saw highlights of their game against Blackburn. Blackburn will be kicking themselves, they missed some real gilt-edged chances.

No new injuries which is amazing, it was a rough game at Coventry I was expecting Tanner and Grant at at least they were clattered and limping around, that's great news!

O'Dowda is running and Bowler is still out, hopefully, because we have a strong squad and we don't have to rush them back and potentially lose them for longer.

We are starting to look like a well-run club with a strong squad and a very positive manager.

Ryan Wintle playing more advanced…
We had a different system against Coventry, a 4-3-3. I wanted my No.8s, Rallsy and Wints to be more offensive and it was a great assist for him.

I said to him that what he showed me until now, he could give much more. He has that quality. Before he was playing safe passes from A to B, B to A. I wanted more passes in behind the defence, between the lines. He has to take more risks. If he makes a mistake, he makes a mistake, football is like this.

If you try, try, try, it will happen. So I am pushing him for this and other players for other things. We cannot always play safe football. We want to attack and sometimes you have to play with risk.

So now he is trying to do it and he is doing it well.

From what I've seen recently the movement off the ball has improved beyond measure, so players can make more probing passes. Our front line has been so static for seasons that it hardly helped when creating chances.

As for taking risks, there's nothing wrong with keeping possession from time to time to take the sting out of the game, either. If you've got the ball, the other team can't score.

Any recommendations on where to watch?

[Ribeye]

get yourself iptv, load it on a firestick and conect your firestick to the hotel tv. If you dont have wifi connect you stick to your phone mobile data. Otherwise go for a drink and keep updated on livescores.

this, but with something better than a firestick

What would you suggest is better than a firestick?

[Rjk]

What would you suggest is better than a firestick?

quite a few android TV boxes with a higher spec than a firestick.

I'm still running an Nvidia shield from quite a few years ago that runs things a lot faster than on the firestick.
Streams that were completely unwatchable on the fire stick run flawlessly on the nvidia shield.

Hopefully they bring out an updated version soon as they haven't refreshed it since 2019

The sports bar pub down by the Hotel gold arcos. Same side but down towards the tika bar not far from red lion pub. They will use the firestick to put it on for you if enough of you go to the pub.
They sell some lovely Belgium beers in bottles there too. Opposite a shop called noami

It’s not on Sky so good luck with that.

If there is a stream Rachel's on the Rincon will show it as long as there are no Premier League matches. Yes they do stream matches not on Sky or BENIN. Used to live there so Rachel's is the most likely place.

This! is not a must win match but a draw would be better than an ass kicking

Nice one!
I will end up watching it on my phone probably.

That’s interesting to know. I have the 4K firestick which seems to work well
