It was a very comfortable interview for Farage, she didn’t probe as deeply as could be expected. Was a little bit more rigorous with Wes Streeting, unsurprisingly.

No, can't see it.

PM?

If we go for it and reach the PL, we may have to yo-yo, given the constraints in place on investment. It is a chasm of a leap, all 3 came back down last season, this time round, could see 2 dropping immediately. If nothing else, a season up there will generate revenue and parachute money.

The potential is there, certainly the next 5 games will help to provide an indication.

The January transfer window may be busier than normal (or expected), given 4 of the summer signings are yet to feature.

Can’t fault them for spirit and a great comeback and well in touch with the top 2.

Fair call!

Great character and hard work to turn 2-0 to a 3-2 away win, the spirit is there, because an inexperienced team might easily crumble. Great turnaround.

It wouldn't take that much either and it also sends out a positive message to supporters and our young talented squad alike.

Still think the autos are two from Leeds, Burnley and Sheffield United, given their resources through the parachute system.

Play-offs is both progress and realistic for us, but there is nothing wrong with aspiration.

Fingers crossed for this afternoon.

Certainly, want and need a win, a 1-1 is at best OK. Had we beaten Bristol City during the week, this would be something we could be happy with, now much less so.

1-1, a mix of hope and the current sequence of results!

The direction of travel is only one way, unfortunately.

Certainly with Trump back in situ in January, the utterances from Musk and from the UK all of the populist drivel from Farage and Reform, there is a very tiresome feel to X. You don't have to look far for the hostility.

A foot in both, I talk with a lot of good people on X, but there is a lot of noise to swerve around.

Are you off to the match tonight? If so, hope you enjoy and we get 3 points.

I am on leave from the SoL, severe osteoarthritis and likely hip surgery makes going to the match currently impossible.

I have, following you back Peter.

Day six of following all Sunderland fans back on Bluesky. Really enjoying it on here so far compared to the other place.

Drop this post a share so we can all find each other.

Jay has never said anything about staying or leaving X. If he joins Blue Sky, then it accounts for most of my postings.

Yes, but at least you have life experiences to draw upon, which can of course help.

Your mam has the same phrase book as mine!

That is a positive and reassuring there are people out there who can do this, good on you James.

I feel very lucky!

I take your word for this, never been near any of it, strictly beer and whisky only!

She is great with IT!

Thanks James, my good lady sorted it out for me today.
