We might not be playing today, but every L1 Matchday is big from now on in

What Not To Wearside…

More of League 1 later as it happens, big day for us tomorrow though, I’m pretty confident of winning, but the big question centres around What Lee Wears. It’s been a chaotic few years on Wearside, following the wardrobe of Jack Ross was always going to be a impossible task, Parkinson didn’t even try – Lee Johnson has had a strange first few months, at Bristol he always looked smart, huge surprise when he just opted for shit Nike Club Wear….

A bad start…

After a few months it became clear he’d been waiting for his clothes to be delivered to his new NE abode?

“Oi oi … got me fucking clobber ain’t I bruv”

Then something very strange happened……

I know for fact he has loads of coats, it’s just a bizarre situation?

Sunday Best…

No idea what to expect tomorrow, the managers normally wear suits at Wembley – but I don’t see any reason why they have to? Jack Ross will probably look back on his tenure at Sunderland and rue too many draws, the sale of Josh Maja and his Wembley Wardrobe? Wembley can affect even the coolest of the cool, Ross was faultless….

“The names Ross…. Jack Ross”
“Och aye wee man, I got me trainers on aye, an I got me sliders wee man for the hard floor, och ya Ken me ya pish can?”

Jack won’t need me to tell him, he just got it horribly wrong at Wembley vs Portsmouth…

Like a tradesman at a wedding or a Teeside panel beater at Thirsk Races, Jack just had the air of a man who was wearing a suit not because he wanted to, but because he had to?
He absolutely nailed it 2 months later for the Charlton game, but the damage had been done, the heavy wool mix jacket fiasco in the spring sunshine meant Ross was always going to struggle come what May. Would we have won and gained promotion had he stuck to his guns and gone merino softknit coolwash for the EFL Final – I guess we will never know?

Despite a smart start to 2019/20 Jack never really recovered from Wembley #1, he had a mare at Sheff Utd in the cup, but I genuinely think he’d not planned his wardrobe as he thought he’d be sacked after the Bolton game? To go from Camel Merino V Neck to shit tracksuit in 3 days is hard to explain otherwise?

So Lee….

Big day tomorrow, First Up, Best Dressed?

In Lee We Trust

Today’s League 1 Action…

Blue Pens Matter – There’s 3 other people in my house, our cleaner comes Tuesday and Friday, but I found my blue pen after she’d gone yesterday. My blue pen is missing again – I’ve found another and labelled them – so hopefully that’s the end of the matter.

Ultimately it’s our own results that will define our season, but obviously if the teams around us drop a few points that’s a bonus. It’s been pretty tight at the top all season and remains so…

We are still to play the 3 teams above us, Portsmouth were crap the other night, Ipswich will surely improve under Paul Cook, Doncaster looked dreadful in both games vs us this season, but remain strongly placed, Blackpool are in form and have loads of games in hand, they play Fleetwood today who were piss poor recently at the SOL. Basically….. it’s up for grabs!

3pm Saturday – in the real world if we had a free Saturday I’d find a game to go to – so going to watch this online – might even do a graph!

10 minutes….. decent game thus far. Our SAFSEE coverage has improved since our billionaire owner bought a load more cameras, I also enjoy our commentary team. This is fucking bizarre watch though, the blokes commentating are watching the game not the stream, (or a bit of both as you’d expect), so rather than commenting on the pictures and replays, they are talking about Morecambe getting a free kick vs Newport – it would royally piss me off to hear that Boro had a corner when I’ve paid £10 to watch Sunderland – I’ve occasionally watched the watch along thing that www.Janestuart.co.uk does – it’s a really decent watch, no wonder it’s so popular, couldn’t be doing with listening to these clowns every week? If I’d paid £10, (I have), to watch Blackpool – I’d expect a proper rose tinted, biased Blackpool view on things?

half time….. good game, Fleetwood nowhere near as bad as they were against us, lots of us are struggling with barbers being closed, but Blackpool have some right barnets! They’ve even got a player called Dougall who looks like Dougal…

has anyone ever seen them at the same place at the same time?

It’s quite interesting watching a game impartially, the Blackpool keeper looks like an accident waiting to happen…. then the BBC Radio Lancashire bloke says he’s the skipper! Highlight of the day so far comes on 55 minutes when the commentator announces, I’m loathe to use a cliche…. brilliant, I’ve heard every cliche going thus far and even learnt a few new ones!

75 minutes…. Blackpool been decent 2nd half, should be ahead but still 0-0, very strange commentary team – their whole patter is basically, you’re watching TV – but we are on the radio…

full time 0-0….

Decent watch, Blackpool should probably have won, it ended a draw…

Not a bad day to say we didn’t play?
