He'll get a polite round of applause from me, I'll get my opera clap out for him 
See no reason to boo him, he's told a few home truth's about the club since he left and it only hurts because there's varying amounts of truth in them. Wish him all the best - after we wipe the floor with him and his funny talking brethren tomorrow!

Just been reading the Sunderland fan forum, they reckon they'd sold around 3,300 when the tickets went off sale and are expecting a few more to travel down and pay on the night. Would expect there to be 3500 to 3700 there.
Looking at the home ends, unless we get an unexpected surge due to our great win yesterday, we'll be lucky to sell 10,500. Oh well, hopefully the ones that do turn up will be in good voice, spurred on by a big away following.

Travis out of course but it seems Sunderland will have a few players missing including Corrie Evans.
interesting that they beat Wigan on Saturday 4days after our girly capitulation to the piemen. The dog eat dog nature of the championship continues to amaze.

I'm gonna go 1-1, we're due a draw at some point. Will be clapping Mowbray of course. The odd mildly irritating comment since leaving is about a thousandth as important to me as his 5 years transforming the club from going the way of Bradford/Bolton to being a solid top half Championship side.

Are there any statto's out there that know what's the furthest into a season a club has gone without drawing? In the football league, surely we can't be far off a record.

“Aston Villa’s epic 51-game run spanned three seasons, and is rather nice since it started on New Year’s Day in 1891, with a 5-0 win over Everton. Villa then went the whole of 1891 without a league draw, and almost made it through 1892 as well – until Bolton ended the streak with a 1-1 draw on Christmas Eve.
Found this on the net, we've got a way to go to set a record of games without a draw, 51 ffs! We're currently on 20 in league games since the Blackpool 1-1 in April.
LLWLW-WWWLLLWLWLWLWLW
I've looked at our remaining fixtures this season and fancy us to win all 31 of them. meaning we'll go into the Premiership season needing to win our first game to become record holders

This is the scenario I envisage. We win all our remaining games this season and piss the league with a record points total (Burnley lose the play off final at Wembley in a penalty shoot out). The fixtures come out for next season and we're away at Man City on the first day. During the close season we poach Haaland from them. They try their hardest to keep him but he loves our kit, has found a nice property in Shadsworth and has made his mind up. They get Diaz, we get Haaland and 30 million quid.
Nil nil going into injury time, Diaz "misplaces" a back pass and instead plays in Haaland to score the Rovers winner right in front of our 20,000 travelling fans. Diaz rips his City top off to reveal a massive Rovers tattoo on his back, with the words "once a Rover always a Rover" underneath it.
Top of the league, a new record set, Burnley back in their rightful place below the most famous and successful club in East Lancashire and the most successful Town club in the whole football league - in history - ever - forever.
Who's going to ruin that?

No way BB, I know when I'm in the presence of brilliance and only a fool would try and take you on, I think deep down you know that yourself, it's only your obvious modesty that's stopping you from saying it.
Are you going Hull and Coventry? I want to do both but my wallet has told me I can only do one.

Coventry - No as I will be in North Wales hugging sheep.
