The Camel's Back
After the euphoria of last weekend's derby win over Newcastle, Sunderland reverted to type. An utterly embarrassing second half capitulation resulted in a 4-1 defeat to Crystal Palace. The first three goals were scored in the space of 6 minutes. Following a similarly embarrassing defeat to Aston Villa last month, it's an outcome that's difficult to fathom. These players are seemingly uninspired to perform in front of crowds of more than 40k, humiliating their supporters with drubbings doled out by bottom half opposition.
I've never been more certain that Sunderland will be relegated to the Championship at the end of the season and deservedly so. But with Burnley currently 1-0 down to Arsenal at half time and with QPR to play Chelsea at home tomorrow, they will in all likelihood remain in 16th place at the end of the weekend. I'd rather just be put out of my misery at this point.
Speaking of being put out of my misery, I was struggling to sleep in the early hours of the morning and switched on my phone to read about the New York Yankees v.s the Boston Red Sox entering its 7th hour with the score deadlocked. I tuned in to ESPN for another hour that proved both intriguing and tedious, before Boston nudged 6-5 ahead and dismissed their rivals with a double play at the bottom of the 19th inning.
It was difficult to tell if the "Let's go Yankees" chants from the fans were encouragement or a request. Due to the peculiar way the sport works, as I write the two teams have started another match against each other. For everyone's sake, I hope it's over by the time I get back from the pub.
