Biggest club in the North East: Sunderland Replay

[plymouth wanderer]

Twenty minutes to go. Time for ...COME ON YOU WHITES

You going to do the updates Tango

But, ..but Kev's not playing???...Ah, okay, I stick anthing of real note up.

[thebish]

c'mon ref - advantage???????

[truewhite15]

So I take it the bish will be posting anything and everything that leads to infuriation and confusion?

[TANGODANCER]

Head tennis and throw-ins sort of start but we get an early free kick. Spearing takes but cleared away. Makems get the first corner after Vela gets robbed. Lonergan collects it and releases Eagles. Ref gives us a free instead of allowing advantage after Eagles held back. Cleared again. To and fro stuff without any real excitement yet.

Bit of Italian front to back stuff from the homers keeping possession. Sordell and Afobe figuring and we got a "great stuff" from the commentators after some passing. Afobe wins a free kick. Makems a bit uncertain at the back, bit of a scramble from Bramble.....then it comes down for a goal kick to us. Eagles rips forward and we get a corner. Knight's header grabbed by the keeper.

aye... heard that!!

[TANGODANCER]

Pratley free kicks starts a bit of good posseesion and some decent passing occurs before it's cleared. Sound like we've started decently. Afobe chasing balls down well but gives away a free kick that gets cleared. Makems come visiting our half then Bramble takes the ball off Sordell and passes it to Alonso.

ooooooofff - gardner for Blunderland just over the bar... slack marking

[TANGODANCER]

No penalties yet and Alonso getting praise for a good tackle. Free them and Titus comes for a look. Shot from Gardner goes over the bar. "Had far too much time". Makems back after a poor clearance from Lonergan and they get another shot wide. Need to calm it down as the snow starts to fall. Eagles figuring and then gets it stuck under feet. Lonergan has to tip one over. Corner bounces right therough for a gaol kick with Lonergan dithering a bit.

[thebish]

under a bit of pressure now... initial huff and puff run out!

[thebish]

also - snowing!

[Annoyed Grunt]

Has it started snowing there?

Edit: Yes, as per Bish

[Notakalou]

Nice to see Holden on the bench.

Its been snowing on and off up here for the past couple of days so probably won't last long.

[jaffka]

darren pratley with a great tackle in the box

[thebish]

great defense from rickets followed by great tackle from pratley - still under pressure though...

[TKIZ!]

Yikes. Sunderland have had loads of posession. It must keep the hundreds of thousands of Sunderland fans in the stadium happy
