Sunderland in High Spirits...

[Bluejuice]

Anyone else seen this story?

From the BBC:


Ghostly goings-on at Sunderland

That's the spirit, lads
Superstitious Sunderland players are worried their promotion campaign could be put in jeopardy by a ghost.
Black Cats stars insist they have seen a strange apparition hanging around the corridors of their training ground.

Striker Marcus Stewart told BBC Radio Newcastle: "What made me think it's true, is Stephen Elliott has seen it. He's adamant that he's seen something."

The alleged sighting coincided with Sunderland's home defeat by Reading - ending a run of eight straight wins.

Coincidence - or something more sinister at work perhaps?

The ghostly figure has also been spotted by backroom staff in the corridors of the Academy. It is described as a "strange black shape", but so far no-one has established whether it is a man or a woman.

Mick McCarthy's men travel to Ipswich this weekend for a crucial table-topping clash and will be hoping the spirit doesn't fancy a night on the Town.

One thing's for sure, if things continue as they are, Sunderland will be renaming their ground the Stadium of Fright.

That's their excuse in place, if they miss out on promotion, then.

 

[Bluejuice]

I think it's a pretty lame excuse if you ask me, but it does bring about an interesting subject for debate...

How superstitious are you?

 

[Icy Gull]

Are the google ads below this thread just a coincidence or is it something spooky

Edit, except they've changed now. One was for haunting breaks and the other about haunting experiences.

 

[Edward Scissorhands]

More bad news...

All their keepers are injured

 

[Cadman]

Should score plenty of ghouls this week then.............

boom, boom

One thing's for sure, if things continue as they are, Sunderland will be renaming their ground the Stadium of Fright.

Look like the whole article was built up just so that the author could have an excuse to write this really lame pun.

 

[Bluejuice]

The whole thing is horribly pun-ridden.

And Icy Gull, all the Google ads are targeted so if we talk about ghouls they will try and appear relevant in some way

 

[Northstander]

Bring on Derek from "most Haunted" and his trusty sidekick, Sam

 

[Saint Lennard]

can't see what all the fuss is about. We don't crack on about Martin Hinshelwood giving us bad luck. But maybe....

 

[Deano's Right Foot]

Sunderland training ground you say?

I think that they need a new exorcise regime.




"Hallo Streamline..."

 

[HAMPSHIRE DAVE]

Maybe it's Alan S?
He's finally left the dark side across the Tyne but is scared someone from the "cartoon army" will spot him.

 

[Silent Bob]

It is described as a "strange black shape", but so far no-one has established whether it is a man or a woman.


Is it not Brian Deane??

 

[Northstander]

Perhaps it is their excuse for not hitting the ghoul !!
