Extract from Turnips
What a great effort by the youth team in their attempt to reach Sunderland’s first FA Youth Cup Final in a lifetime. After losing out unluckily at home 2-0 they went to Man City and despite being the better side they could only manage a 1-0 win. El Pres and the boys should be proud of their efforts, the future looks bright it’s red and white.
Those of us that went up for the Chelsea game came away with the same thought, we was robbed. We certainly played well enough to get a point from the game. And who knows what would have happened if Mr Dean had the balls to do his correctly and awarded us a penalty and shown John Terry the red card. But of course you don’t award penalties against the top four and you certainly don’t show the England captain a red card. However the lads put in a good performance and this should give them confidence to go on and gain the points required to ensure another season in the top flight.
Strange that we were missing four players for the Chelsea game when at least two of them were expected to start. Rumours were rife around the SOL that they had been caught drinking on Friday night. To be honest all of us thought that this was a non starter and that they had probably been late for the game and had paid the price. But on the long journey home we heard Keano saying on the radio that it was not a disciplinary problem and it was purely down to the performances during training. Whether or not you choose to believe this or have your own opinion is entirely up to you.
Those of us that went on the coach to the Chelsea game had a great day out despite the result and the ‘jobs worth’ driver. With this in mind there are only two chances left for us to run another one.
If you would like another bus on this season do you want it to go to the Man City or Boro game let us know ASAP. (Coach is booked for BORO)
Big news on the visitor front.
We will be having an evening with GARY BENNETT in the near future. The date to be confirmed but he has told Jeanette he is definitely coming. Also on the same theme El Pres has said he will try to get down to see us again sometime soon.
Added to this Jeanette has now got a contact number for the new secretary of the Ex Players Association and he seems keen to help.
Plus our favourite ex skipper has been putting in a good word for us with the ex players.
