At Wembley for 4th time in 7 years. Life just isn't fair. Even though no fans allowed in, still a nice occasion to watch on tv.

It would be just our luck to get Wembley, in the year no fans were allowed in.

There might be in for some better news on no fans - there's plenty of research now showing that the chances of catching Covid outdoors are vanishingly small, so a lot of outdoor activities will be well up the list when Johnson announces his plan to relax the lockdown next Monday.

The problem with sports stadiums is under the stands - toilets and bar areas. By rights the Vic should be a special case, there can't be many bar areas more open-plan than the one under the Millhouse!

I hope he does well. I wonder if there is any truth in the rumour that he wants Brian honour to become the corner taking coach.

Going by Sunderland's recent wembley record, I wish them luck...

Think they have lost there something like 7 times since 1973 , appalling record. Like Darlo though, I wish them the best of luck.

wish em luck also but at least there is a possibility of em being back again in the play off final and can use the tranmere game as a practice session.

The new 23 year old owner is a Billionaires son. My question is.....how much pocket money does he get? When I was a kid it took 2 weeks pocket money just to buy the Sunderland Subutteo Team. I'm having words with my Dad and want pocket money recompence.

Just a part of the 23 year old education in order to prepare him for taking over daddy's empire in the future.

My Pools Subutteo team was the old heavyweight style. The keepers in those bent backwards and had there hands closer together, ergo were crap compared to the more modern keepers.
