cant wait for the TV programming to be announced, although that will take some weeks I reckon.
Fingers crossed it might at least be one of those infamous "Sky tinkered" play times either earlier or later in the day....  |
Yeah not sure if it has been confirmed, but I heard that one game will be played on Friday night, much like the German Bundesliga. |
I hadn't heard of a FRIDAY night game... i was thinking / hoping it'd be of the 3 games they tend to telvise on a Saturday night. ...fingers crossed! |

| | Not very quick out of the blocks are we? Maybe coz we're still doing deals on the last day of the window so the players don't even know each others names when they start the season. |

| Blimey looking back through some of those old starting line ups, we had some right old poo.
Last season we blamed it on the World Cup, lets hope we come out raring to go. I feel we've got a toughie to start though. |

| I think there were only 2-3 Sunderland fans in Hong Kong and the one I knew well moved to Koh Samui 2 years ago. Mind you he used to get on a plane on a Friday, fly to the UK to watch a game and then fly straight back. Either committed or had some silly money to waste!!

| | I know of at least three including Nick Park from the Yau Yee league who are still here and I'm sure there are more than that. |
