Where the fuck did they dig Natasha Beddingfield out of

A defensive mix up gives Sunderland a 2-1 lead away to Coventry in the play-offs. That Mayenda is a great bit of stuff. Jobe Bellingham has just prevented an equaliser.

Is Jobe any use? Was a lot of hype about him a while back

Not really sure tbh. He was injured or suspended the day I was over in the Stadium of Light. I’d say he’ll be in the Premier League soon even if Sunderland don’t go up.

Dortmund about to sign him.

Sunderland 0-1 Frank Lampard’s Coventry.
2-2 on agg.

Gone to extra time.

This match has been utter dogshit bar the goal. About 3 proper chances in 105 minutes.

Lamps has schooled Sunderland but hasn’t been able to show it on the scoreboard. I’ll stay up in the hope of pens.

Last puck of game header sends Sunderland to Wembley

Incredible stuff. Dan Ballard equalises for Sunderland with the very last play. Gutting stuff for Frank Lampard’s Sky Blues. You can’t beat the playoffs!

Coventry deserved that for sacking Mark Robins. A bizarre but great headed goal.

Roker Park sucked that one in.

Lampard seemed to clash with a fan after

Looked like a Sunderland fan rubbing his nose in it

That’s a very nice Sunderland kit made by Hummel.

Hummel made Sunderland’s jerseys for a good stretch in the late 80s/early 90’s including their run to the FA Cup final in 1992.

Vaux was an iconic sponsor.

Norwich had a lovely Hummel kit in mid 80s too.

He’s never going to be as eye-catching as Jude in terms of those flair moments but he is a good footballer.

Despite attempts to shoehorn him in as an attacking midfielder last season, he just isn’t that, even though he scored a few goals.

He’s been way better this season in a deeper midfield role. He’s very strong for his age, impossible to knock off the ball and he can carry the ball, ride challenges, etc. He can pass and he can tackle.

He just needs to speed up his passing; just because he is strong doesn’t mean he has to make everything a physical contest.

Charlton - Wycombe finally sees a goal. Woeful windy goalkeeping effort
