Popular Post Lord Snooty Posted December 30, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 30, 2021 "Oh, you're back Stubbs. I thought you'd be a bit later than this. Bit early home for a presentation night isn't it. I thought it would be going on well into the early hours. It's not often the village gets to celebrate a sporting success. I thought you and the chaps would be out for a nice meal and a decent drink" "I did too, Sir. But alas. There was no presentation night." "No presentation night!! After beating the Miners Helmet to the Darts and Dominoes League title for the first time in 15 years" "No, Sir" "Well, why on Earth not?" "Because all my team mates are dead,Sir." "Dead?" "Yes, Sir. Dead." "What do you mean, Dead?" "As in. No more. Sir." "But how?!" "It appears they caught Covid sir. During last weeks final League fixture" "But how? Mrs Vulcan at the Beevers Teeth runs a tight ship. Doorman and everything. There's not a safer building in the town. Perfect neutral venue." "Indeed so, Sir. Infact they were asking for proof of a negative test on the door. That's why we were without old Double Top Ted. Had to bring young Hawkins in as a late replacement. " "Safe as houses then" "So we thought ,Sir. But what couldn't be accounted for, but which we subsequently discovered, was that a group of lads who usually drink in the Cretins Arms, who turned up for a session had done so with falsified tests." "Falsified tests? But why on Earth would anyone do that Stubbs! After all we've been through?" "Because there's some absolute morons out there, Sir who don't mind if they risk other peoples lives as long as they can get some ale down their neck and do a line or two off the toilet cisterns. After all. No one can tell them what to do and stand in the way of them having a laugh." "My word. What a stain on humanity" "Indeed, Sir. Indeed" SUNDERLAND -V- WEDNESDAY 7:45pm Thursday 30th December 2021. Stadium of Light. SUNDERLAND Despite having an outbreak of Covid in the camp Sunderland are only missing a couple of squad players for the game and look likely to be able to put out a similar side to the one that dismantled Doncaster Rovers at the weekend. If anything the Black Cats maybe boosted by the return of Carl Winchester who missed the Rovers game with a calf problem. WEDNESDAY With zero news coming out of Hillsborough it's anyones guess how the Owls will line up. The manager admitted on Christmas week that there were just seven players in training some days last week. Who they were remains a mystery , as does the likely starting XI. FORM TABLE Only Portsmouth , whose only dropped points were against 10 man Wednesday in a battling 0-0, are in better form than Sunderland over the last month. Wednesday however boast the longest unbeaten record in the football League. 28 3 13 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Snooty Posted December 30, 2021 Author Share Posted December 30, 2021 For those into this sort of thing, and perhaps a useful tool for the visually impaired who can't always gain news from print media and rely on auditory news from the club, check out the Chaps, Punk and Cam, as they look ahead to Sunderland, and some possible transfer news. And for those of you making the long trip up to the Northeast you might in enjoy this to wile away an hour, as the Punk and Dex review Wednesdays season at the mid-season point and rate how Darren Moores summer signings have faired so far. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nevthelodgemoorowl Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 It could be a record breaker as the warmest December Evening on the North East Coast. Very sticky. Add the Dominoe lads situation I'm not too confident so I have us down for a very apt 5's & 3's defeat ! But yer know Wednesday Full of surprises !

Pablo Bonvin Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 Welcome back Milord. You had us all concerned. Hope all is well with you. I know it’s been said that “it’s the draws that kills us,” but I’d be happy with that tonight. Let’s at least see off this absolutely wretched year by keeping that unbeaten run going. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
