Hi Dougal! I'm here at home, bored out of my mind. Gorgeous sunny day out and here I sit at ye olde webcaste once again. can't miss Shearer's 30th, 300th, 199th, etc. :-)

Good luck with the diet!

Hi there. I'm bored but at work, sadly. Weather a bit wet at present but a goal from Al (hopefully from open play) would cheer me up no end. Just off to get some carrots! Back soon.

-- Anonymous, May 02, 2000

I don't care if Al does an Izzet to get his goal tonight. i.e. in off his @rse. He probably won't care either. Though it would be nice for him to get something to get everyone shouting about goal-of-the-season. :-)

Sorry on all counts before I start...

Right - I'm off to the pub. I wonder if there'll be any lucky ladies in there. If so, they'll have left by the time I get there.

Arse won 2-1.

Seasons been over for a little while... :((

Next seasons already over as far as I'm concerned! :(

There's something about us that just wants to sit and try and very very shakily defend a lead...we can't do it, we know we can't do it (that's what makes us nervous!)...so why do they bother trying!!

We can play some excellent stuff when going forward...we've proved this season that we can beat anyone when we're playing for it but too often we hide behind a 1 goal cushion...

Later people....

I post a message with the word 'Sunderland' in it.

Then the board throws a wobbler.

Could it be that the server has absorbed some Geordie ethos via a process of osmosis?

naah...I think the bbs server was just making it's own comment on the game. WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO MAKE OUR PLAYERS REALIZE A GAME LASTS FOR 90MIN????? ARRRRRGGHHHHHH!!!!!!

And sure I'll be back here on Saturday hopeful as always that we'll beat Derby. ;-)

Marking. That's what stops goals. What the hell was Dabs doing behind Uncle Fester when he scored? Bah. Humbug.

Looked like another Given special to me - mebbe he was unsighted, being charitable.

Hi Pit. How's the Social Club? Off the fence. Was Given at fault or was he being charitable?? Same difference to me. Why wasn't Stevie playing?

I haven't seen this goal so I can't comment on it but I've felt for some time that Given isn't a good keeper and that Harper should be first choice....it sounds to me like other people are starting to agree...

Anyone out there still think Given is first choice and why?

Harper every time for me.

So you guys should keep picking Stevie ahead of Shay in the Team Pick!

Apparently Stevie Harper has damaged his knee so Bobby doesn't want to risk him making it worse by playing him. He's gonna have an op on it at the end of the season. I agree, I'd MUCH rather see him in goal than Shay.

I think Harper is a better keeper. Or at least his confidence is a lot better. I was musin tat YBR might be giving Shay a run out in th efirst team now that there is little else to play for. He lost out earlier in the season to Steve and perhaps this is his reward for staying loyal and not throwing his toys around.

Or maybe he's giving him a chance to put himself in the shop window? I dunno. But I can't think of a valid football reason why Given is ahead of Harper on the teamsheet.
