Sunderland afc

Fleetwoods full backs are already having sleepless nights at the prospect of facing McGeady..
Bet he doesn't have a man bag.

I wouldn't even want to speculate what would be in McGeady's bag

Where to hide the hip flask and cigarettes from Gibson if he doesn't have one though?

Dunno though, we've got no debt for the first time in ages and could possibly get into Europe. Difficult to draw parallels.

You say this like it actually means something...meanwhile I still have to placate myself with the idea that "well, at least he works hard", when it comes to some of our starters.

Gibbo has a tesco bag for life with a couple of bottles of Frosty jacks, a pack of green papers and a couple of Chomps in it.
He's not arsed in the slightest.

Gibbo is out for the count on the team bus and drooling on Rodder's arm who he has slumped into. It's a scene alright.

I'd love to have read the text Gibbo would have sent Gaz Baz this morning btw.

I think that number has been 'accidentally deleted and blocked by now.

Great chat in here today guys - always is after a good result

Another disaster result @Safc-mark-91

I knew @Sunderland afc celebrating a draw last week was a true sign that 'fans' had given up, but I knew you were a more level, clear thinking individual.

Now you must apply your pragmatism here. Surely relegation inevitable now - and they very real possibility of a firesale?

Awful result indeed mate. Yep, I fear I may have been wrong and you may have been right - relegation does seem inevitable at this stage. When teams like Brentford are coming to the SOL and playing us off the park, something is drastically wrong.

If we lose to Bolton midweek, I can't see us recovering.

I can't even be bothered to give my usual in-depth analysis of what went wrong & who had a poor game. The entire team, from back-to-front was lackluster, slow and just generally all over the place.

We could have still being playing now and we still wouldn't have scored. If we do go down as expected, we need to stick with Coleman, he'll need to rebuild from scratch. No point in sacking him and starting this long process all over again.

Absolutely gutted at the moment

I'll be honest, when Coleman took over I was really surprised. Had a ridiculously safe national team job where even getting close to qualification for a major finals was a success, let alone the semis of one.

Then I read he has money issues and joined for the extra cash and I thought that was just adding petrol to the fire.

As I've mentioned earlier, some of your fanzines are seriously well written. I read one that made a passionate case for protesting , how it wasn't "Mag behaviour" (we used to get the same about "kopite behaviour" against Kenwright) and I thought it was a far cry from a lot the Sunderland rubbish I'd seen on here and online.

But those protests haven't materialised because too many of your fans still want to be "everyone's second club" and some moral counterweight to the Geordies.... even if it means the end of the club. Madness.

It's fair to say that Moyes has killed that club. Yes, they were fighting against relegation for a number of seasons before going down last season. But Moyes left them shattered as a club, his signings were ageing and atrocious and placed Sunderland at the mercy of the Championship once they did go down. The fans finally gave up the ghost well before Coleman arrived, who I wouldn't blame for one bit of this season.

Mate, a lorry load of Viagra wouldnt have kept them up for long.

Moist was a mood vampire there,it was like watching an 80s band reforming but rather than selling out gigs they end up doing an 80s tribute night at Pontins in Southport

Yep, you're right.

Money was the key factor like. We offered him more money than the national team. I think for Coleman, contrary to what some people say, it was a 'safe job'. The reason I say that, is because when he took over from Grayson, the expectation was very-low. If we go down, he can come out and say "The damage was already done prior to me coming in" and he can mention the fact he had no money to work with. If he can keep us up, he's a hero who helped save the Titanic, the impossible made possible sort-of-thing.

Which fanzine did you read mate? I occasionally post for RTG, not frequently, just 3/4 times a season.

I think it's about 50/50 with protests. Some fans just can't be bothered anymore, such is the state of the club. Loads of posters on the Sunderland forum have 'Short out' on their profile picture - like that is going to work! I'm sure Ellis Short will get the message loud and clear.

It was an article via twitter, I thought it was Roker Report but the formatting on that site doesn't look right. It was a pretty long article, i'll see if i can find it again. It was just after the chief exec had said protesting would upset the young players.

I don't think surviving in this league would actually be a positive. Better to clean house over the summer I think.
