Also I do wonder whether an extra man in midfield for away games would make more sense so sacrificing one of the forward 4 might be on Farke's mind after tonight's blow par performance and it wasn't exactly sparkling stuff at Blackburn iether but we got away with it.

Just reading my last point could imply I was advocating some kind of human sacrifice by Farke but I don't think they were that bad tonight so I'll let them live to fight another day for now. We'll see how the season progresses before we get to those North Korean levels of punishment for having an off game.
Anyway I'm rambling to my sad self now so I'm off to bed.
Sweet dreams 👍

1 of the best away performances by a home team, sunderland

I remember watching the defeat to Sunderland in the FA Cup final (yep, that old!). It's silly, but because of that defeat - one of our most painful ever - losing to Sunderland still rankles.

Me too. I was there!

Wow Stoopo - that's a dubious distinction. That kind of defeat wouldn't hurt so much nowadays but back then the FA Cup was considered to be almost as important as winning the title"

Back then you had the European cup and the european cup winners cup!..

That's when the Champions were Champions and not like todays farce and a reason the cup was more thought off!..
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Fortunately I was there the previous year when we beat Arsenal. However that only made the Sunderland defeat harder to take 🤣🤣

I was in London for the weekend when Leeds played Arsenal, my Mam and Dad packed me and 2 of my brothers in the car and traveled down from Keighley, that was just short of my 14th birthday!..

No idea how my mother stopped me and my brothers from killing eachother stuck so long in the car together, think my dad wished he'd stayed at home!.

But it was fun when we won, a good old Yorkshire family stuck with a Cockney family, my cousins weren't at all happy!.

With a ManU ma and pa and a brother, a Chelsea brother and me, I think I was the happiest!.
