Hi, Leopold and welcome to the nailbiting, excitement and despair. :grin:

Tonight has shown the 1st leg wasn't a flash in the pan with Marvin. He needs to push on now.

I'm sure this makes it 40 straight FA Cup games Man United have had shown on TV... or something like that!

Everton do get onto ESPN quite often though so maybe we could get some streams for it!

A great performance and result.

Nice to play Everton and get a reward after such a disappointing third round draw against such a sh*te pointless non-entity team from the ar*e end of the country.

We seemed to play better in the two matches against Sunderland than the vast majority against Championship opposition.
everton will be a better test of this as tbh Sunnerlan are pretty poor

Coming off a 3-0 win vs our B Team on the weekend and beating the champions a couple weeks prior... they're not as bad as people think... we can actually put this win down to us being the better team!

Very true, but I'd still place Sunderland above pretty much every team in the Championship which is why I thought I'd ask for opinions :)
I'm biased :mrgreen: I've got them to come down this season... and barring two decent results of late they've been piss poor for nearly as long as us... but on the basis of tonight you'd have to question the desire of our first choice championship team...
