Burnley v Sunderland (EFL Cup 2nd Round)

[The Bedlington Terrier]

Maybe I have missed something Oz, but how is JayRod warming to it ? He's come on a few times as a sub and done nothing out of the ordinary.

It's OZ style optimism Alto, the daft beggars even thought they'd won the third Test!

[ClaretofOz]

Always the optimist, Alto. I see your point about Jay's time on pitch somehow contradicts my point, but he is keen to get going when he is on (if I have observed correctly), sometimes the rest of the team have to go with him, which hasn't been the case in the latter stages of games. We'll see I suppose.

Now now BT, I've kept my trap shut about the cricket. I'm magnanimous in defeat, Stokes' was a wonder innings. It was PAINEFUL to see our wastage of DRS reviews, a missed run out left a hole in my heart (and Lyon's hands it would seem), and a not out call from an umpire to win the match by one run left me PLUMB heartbroken. Bright side though, Ashes series alive, roll on Old Trafford. UTC.

Championship winning replica trophy is in it sinkov and that's not that long ago.

You don't need a Cabinet for tat like that BT, just plonk it on the sideboard with the whisky and sherry bottles.

Looking at the team Alf, we seem to take the PL more seriously than the Carabollox Cup.

Gibson captain ?, Vydra starting ? Big Head Hart in goal

Blinking heck, I was one out and that's only because Brady is permanently injured!

Couldn't resist Oz, no hard feelings, Smith is back and I hope he is wearing body armour this time, because he will need it!
