Planes, Taxis and Disco Pants: Sunderland fans have their return trip paid for by the club chairman out of his own pocket, after being kicked off a plane for 'rowdy behaviour'. Which involved singing about the club chairman's dress sense. Not an April Fool's Day story.
Lovely story. Could you imagine Deadly Doug doing something like that? I'm still pissed off that he's turned the Mackems around and they're going to take one of those promotion slots though..

I don't think there's many chairmen that would do this. Quinn's a decent bloke by all accounts. However I'd also like his team to crash and burn in the run-in to the end of the season as they are threatening our promotion push.

At the moment, I'd prefer Sunderland to take one of the two automatic places, as I wouldn't want to face them in the playoffs, and I think my lot have left themselves too much to do.

At the risk of turning this into Championship Promotion Filter, I still can't believe we're at the top with 6 to go. We need to be in one of the automatic slots, 'cos we are not going to win play off matches. Games in hand worry me.

Ah you gotta love Quinny. Even if he is nothing but a big old ladle.
