Fulham v Sunderland. 18th oct 2008

Today was a day when we realy fancied our chances, and the game as it went on, we thought one goal will do it, and yep, in good old premier league fashion, the ref stole the show!

The branch turnout was as good as ever with the a good collection of tourists supportin the lads.

Graham, in the white, and gary, the one balding at the front with a pony tail to compensate pictured, can be seen here keepin an eye on the game, and the buffett!!

But back to the match, dont realy want to go into the detail, thats the sunday papers job, but as a football supporter, and a 70s one at that, you get to a stage where you stop shrugging your sholders and say, well at least we got a point, and start asking at what stage does leaning into a wall become an offence, when leaning into an attacker is deamed as good defending?

As a side, we look like we can do some damage, and as a defence, i am in the collins camp, noz, good, but he scares me to death some times, we looked good going forward, and i now look up the league, not down, now that has to be a poz for a longstanding sunderland supporter!

But, hey who can dwell on this game when we have the pleasure of the black n whiters to come, ooooh i just cant wait!!!

Keepin the red flag flying, in spain!

Welcome to the malaga mackems, we are a bunch of ex pat sunderland supporters, living in benalmadena, and missin the lads!, so as all tribal footie supporters do, we formed a branch!, any excuse for a pint you might say, but hey, who are we to lie!!!

although the branch is in its youth, the committee, and most of the members, with the exeption of our landlady rena, and any other female member {creep!} are old enough to remember benno and speedy, frank worthington, and even joe bolton!!!

Matchdays consist of a collection of beer, a sing song, and a free buffet, which you have to have a go on the blind card for haha!!, so if you are passing, then pop in and introduce yourselves, fill us in on the local gossip, and we will put your picture on our blog!!! F.T.M
