rudemedic Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Was anyone expecting the first team to show up? I might have been before I realised that the Amsterdam tournament was going on at the same time. Its probably a better test for us anyway as towards the start of the season fixtures are supposed to be competitive and I think Sunderland's reserves might give us better preparation than sunderland's firsts. Will probably be two quite evenly matched sides and as someone pointed out Sunderland may have some players we could sign (probably on loan).

Ackey Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 All day on the Witch's Brew (Sam Smith's) tends to get me a little £1.52 a pint at Sinclairs will do it. This was already the worst timed friendly ever and to then admit they're sending the ressies will have killed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll stick my neck out and suggest that most Latics fans thought Hughes to be a bit of a toerag. Warne lacked the quality to go with the other criteria. Eyres had it all. Legend.

Legend. mate if he had it all, he would not have been playing at latics at all, never mind into his 40's i liked him, good solid player with a good left foot, good fitness for his age and was a good servent, thats it but legend is a stretch Edited June 9, 2009 by palmer1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slystallone Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 2 things: Should be a good test this fixture now - Sunderland sending the up & comers plus the want-aways / surplus's - all of them playing for something - to prove they are good enough to make the grade, or a loan move in front of a few scouts, shop window for the others. I can think of worse pre-season fixtures........ secondly - what a day out last year was at the masters - sunny day drinking outside Sinclairs / Pie Pub, then a mint atmosphere in the M.E.N where; quite frankly, we bossed it on the pitch & in the stands. More of the same this year please!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

De_La_Vega Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Controversial new equation; Eyres + ball at feet tricky wing wizard scores goals played like he meant it + loves it = Legend. Incontrevertable proof that David Eyres' talents have made him a legend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyPimp Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Hardly a great crowd puller though. I agree. When the club announced this fixture they made a big deal about it being against Premiership opposition to drum up a bit of interest during the close-season slumber. Aside from the fact that Sunderland in the first instance aren't a 'big draw' top-flight team, the fact that they're now sending their reserves is very disappointing. Somehow, I don't think that Latics' management will have known too much about this approach and I'm sure they'll feel as let down as the fans. Having said that, it seems to me that most people on this forum weren't planning to go anyway, preferring the prospect of an afternoon sup instead.
