Tonight's football thread

Play Up Pompey

[Stagger]

I've got to go for the northern club.

Black Cats

Can't say I'm bothered either way.

A Grimsby Town supporter at work today told me that he'd bought a new TV to watch the Championship play-off final. But when he opened the box he discovered there were no leads in it.

I will probably have to sack him. Quite funny though.

There’s a bit of needle between Cov and Sunderland, going back to on the pitch shenanigans in the 70’s, which has unfortunately intensified massively this season, due to off the field troubles...

It’s safe to say that a lot of Sunderland fans regard us as the dregs of the football league, and would be happy to see us go out of business... I don’t understand it really, seems to be a rivalry completely built up by them, and sadly jumped on by the less savoury elements of both teams support... I’d just like to see them suffer some more... they seem to think they have a divine right to be in the premier league...

Looks like they’ve got through tonight, I’m sure they’ll certainly be favourites at Wembley but I fancy Charlton to pip them if they get through. Think they’ll be too strong for Doncaster.

Racist?

Well, I hope not. Certainly a controversial character and one who polarises opinion (CFC fans v the rest of the world!). But none the less a leader on the pitch and sadly lacking from our soft team this season.

This Lampard vs Terry thing is the kind of thing that cheeses me off... the mass media will be all over it, rather than the actual football... more fuel to pour onto the 'glorified soap opera' fire...

I think I speak for any sane and rational person, when I say that I sincerely hope Portsmouth put about nine past Sunderland tonight...

Travs, you are right of course, and no one can mention Derby without referring to it as Frank Lampards Derby County. For me though with blue blood coursing through my veins, and feeling so frustrated after a season of Sarriball, these are two major figures from our past and probably of more interest to CFC fans than any body else out there.

As for Portsmouth, I watched it and they seemed to have little idea as to how to break down the Sunderland defence. Both sides looked poor and the difference in standard compared to the previous nights Championship play off was like the gap between myself and Rob Jebb, a huge chasm in class!

Well done City on the first ever MEN'S domestic treble.
Very impressive and playing great stuff.

[Derby Tup]

Best wishes to Vincent Kompany on his move away from city and whatever he does next - sounds a top bloke

[Stagger]

Playing manager at Anderlect.

[Derby Tup]

Hope he does well for them
