A couple of years ago I created a match thread opener for this match by telling you all a tale about a night out we had up there, the one with the fat bird who we lobbed a kebab at. Well I've been asked to open this weekends visit to Sunderland too. Sunderland is a place I've had many a night out in both socially and with various bands over the years. Here is the story from a few seasons ago just to remind those who haven't seen it before...
Liverpool VS Sunderland
Judge started the thread back in October when we played this shower which of course led to the famous 'beachball' goal.
Hoping we'll not get too pestered by these and steadily knock 4 goals in against them. Sending them back 'oop north with their stripy scarfs trailing behind.
Had a few nights out in Sunderland. Good place to go for cheap Working Mens Club beer, then on for a kebab and a fight. Sunderland women are harder than the men. We met this lass outside the kebab shop at 3am, 'Dockyard Doris' was drunk as a skunk but still managed to muster up enough energy to shout across the road at a couple of police bobbies "awhey ya fooooking pair a pigs!".
On our way to the taxi rank she was feeling the urge for a pee so my mate said "you wanna hand?" (meaning he'd hold her kebab while she squat at the side of a hedge) "What ya gunna do like, squeeze me fooooooking head like?"
Couple of minutes later she wails "aye, a needs a sheeiite now like!" At that point we launched her kebab in her direction and ran like chuff. "arrgh ya pair a b@stads, fooooking chilli sauce on ma heeed!" Classy bird.
Best thing to come out of Sunderland? The A19 South.
Bring it on!!Well I can remember another night when we were up there with my band playing at a club and we'd got there an hour early and decided to have some scran. Now we used to take a few pack up butties with us to gigs just in case we couldn't find a chippy. So we're sat in the car park of this club and I said "there is a fantastic curry house around the corner, 2 minute walk away, anyone remember it from last time we came?" to which the band members all acknowledge this great curry we had, the lad who owned it was a Bradford lad and gave us extra bargees. "Lets go and have a curry lads?" I stated.
Now our bass player Dave used to get his wife to make his pack up. She'd spend ages making him ham and mustard butties and neatly wrapping them up in foil. We all lept out of the transit van and set off heading towards the best curry in the world. Dave ceremoniously announces to us all that he's fed up with butties and she can shove them up her ar$e, opens the lid of one of those huge wheely bins and throws his neatly wrapped butties in the bin.
Off we marches laughing our little socks off at Dave. We go round the corner and the fecking curry house is shut down! "sh!t, thats a bummer. Guess we're having pack up after all" i said. "Where's Dave?" He was that hungry after the gig that he even made us stop at a petrol station for a Ginsters on the way home.
Anyway onto the match...
VS
It's been an emotional week for us all so it's only fair that the team go and spank this Sunderland side. nuff said.
