Carabooboo time - Round 2 - Sunderland v Huddersfield Town - Amelia Chaffinch - 24-08-2025
Seconds out, round 2
![[Image: yqYM2UD.png]](https://i.imgur.com/yqYM2UD.png)
The 2nd round of the Caribooboo sees us take on Regis Le Bris' Sunderland mob.
No doubt, having achieved promotion to the League of the Entitled, they'll think they're the Black Cats who got the cream. It's up to us to bring them down a peg or two.
As I write this on Saturday, they're 7th in the aforementioned Big Knobs League and we're 2nd in Lil Ol' League One. This, of course, is their entry into the competition. We came through Round 1 relatively unscathed, despite the penalty shoot out against the Foxes. Don't mess with the Terriers in a penalty shoot out.

Will Lee Connell (or Lee Nicholls as you like to call him) start in goal again?
Did I hear you ask "who is Regis Le Bris?"
Well, he's a former defender, born in Pont-L'Abbe (just a wild guess but I'd say there's a bridge and an abbey), France. He played in Rennes, Laval, and Ronse in France. He then managed Lorient (not Leyton Orient as I first read it
) in France. Then he was appointed by Sunderland in 2024. Who'd take on an unknown entity from a foreign land?

Here he is auditioning for a role in Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream or All's Well That Ends Well. Hopefully, it won't be a dream and it won't end well.

As far as the League Cup goes, they were runners-up in 1985 and 2014.
However, it deserves a mention that they have won the FA Cup twice; the 2nd time in 1973. This being good because they beat our friends, Leeds Urinals. Have I told you before that the headmaster at my school got us to make Huddersfield Town rosettes for the final?

Head to Head

As you see, we're 4-1 up in League Cup ties.
The first meeting in 1991/92, we beat them 6-1 on aggregate over 2 legs.
in 1992/92, we drew 3-3 on aggregate but went through on the away goals rule.
By the last meeting in 2003, it was played over 1 leg at the Stadium of Light and we won 4-2.
So... we have knocked them out 3 times and each time they were in a higher division.

Although American by birth, Lynden Gooch having played with the Santa Cruz County Breakers Academy, he was spotted by Sunderland. From 10 years old, he was travelling to train with them in the summer holidays. At 16, he got a scholarship with them and by 2015 he had a contract. He did have loan spells in 2015 and 2016 but remained with Sunderland until 2023, joining Stoke and then us two years later. This would explain his comment to Connell (Nicholls) after the Leicester tie that he can go home now. He would look at it as home having been there for 11 years plus some before that. He helped them gain promotion to the Championship.

As good as I can find from t'other lot.

By the way, I didn't bother with top scorers again because there have been so few.
Dan Ballard, Eliezer Mayenda, and Wilson Isidor have scored one each and how likely are they to be playing?
I've finally remembered who Cyrille Regis Le Bris reminds me of....
The actor Andrew Scott who was in an episode of Foyle's War.

It came in a bit later but if I can help
Nice thread AmChaff
RE: Carabooboo time - Round 2 - Sunderland v Huddersfield Town - Lord Snooty - 26-08-2025
What team do we think we'll get tonight? Obviously Gooch is gonna start. Probably as captain if Ledson is rested.
Do Ashia, Vost and Sway get another run out? Why not? They looked good enough against Leicester.
Charles? He's got to score sometime.
Nicholls? Penalty king has to play.
As for Reggie Le Brie and his shaky Shakespeare audition, let's hope it's their defence and not ours committing the Comedy of Errors and our worries about penalty shoot outs are Much Ado About Nothing.

All of them Snoots - though Sway is on the bench
Blunderland seem to be getting a few soft decisions from the head blind mouse early doors.
RE: Carabooboo time - Round 2 - Sunderland v Huddersfield Town - Lord Snooty - 26-08-2025
1-0 Castledine. What a strike.
RE: Carabooboo time - Round 2 - Sunderland v Huddersfield Town - theo_luddite - 26-08-2025
Lovely volley from Castledine. 1 up.
RE: Carabooboo time - Round 2 - Sunderland v Huddersfield Town - Lord Snooty - 26-08-2025
Agree with you about the ref. A complete homer. He booked Charles for a very soft foul. Never touched him. Then a minute later, the same player studs Charles in the midriff and doesn't even get spoken to. Pathetic, ref!
RE: Carabooboo time - Round 2 - Sunderland v Huddersfield Town - theo_luddite - 26-08-2025
Another save by Nicholls - count those £'s AmChaff and Snoots. Another penalty win.
