Remote cheering, that's the kind of stuff I'd have imagined as a Futurama gag years ago  :lol:

Amazing. Genuinely thrilled that I'll be able to boo Everton remotely :lol:

I'd prefer it to the "canned cheering" that is being planned over here.  :P

The decline of Sunderland. Super long piece and probably only appeals to me but... 😔

I can't help but see a connection between things turning sour for Sunderland AFC and things turning sour for the UK with Sunderland as a poster child.

I liked Season One of Sunderland Till I Die. Season two, so-so

Tyr, are you listening to Athletico Mince by any chance? Some good Sunderland/Middlesborough rivalry there. Well, mostly Sunderland bashing really.

Never heard of it tbh. Checking up, Bob Mortimer. Yes. To be expected. Will seek it out someday.
The Middlesbrough/Sunderland rivalry is very one sided. Sunderland fans don't care about Boro much at all. Even on the Boro side I don't think it goes too high, there's a lot of historic cooperation between the two.
It has nothing on Newcastle/Sunderland. That's the real rivalry.

Braithwaite starts in Barca's first game back. I thought Suarez was ready again? I'm all for it though.

Suárez just recovered from injury last week, I guess he's still got plenty of fitness to recover.

FFS Arsenal :bleeding:

"Fascinating how looking at Bundesliga and La Liga gives a real sense of how important crowds are. Without fans the technically better team just wins the match."
*Arsenal has entered the chat*

Edit: Incidentally I make that joke - but I am fairly dreading the Merseyside derby :lol: :weep: :ph34r:

Arsenal somehow becomes even more Arsenal when there are no fans around.  :lol: :mad: :(

In light of Warnock's new appointment, this video is absolutely magnificent:

Portuguese League still undecided.

Benfica lost in extra time against Santa Clara (Azores) by 3 to 4 while Porto won in the Porto derby against Boavista 4-0. They were tied in points, though Porto was ahead due to particular goal average.
6 more games to play for both.
I got used to the empty stadium ambient since it allows to hear all shouts and cursing during the game. :)
