Said it before but Ballard is the pick of the bunch and he will get a move in the summer I think if we don't go up, He's a Prem centre half in the making.

I would eat it either way, looks class for footy bait.

There's absolutely nee chance we serve that in the ground like

I didn't suggest you were, I just find it odd you had the audacity to say 'I go into bat for them alot' when you have posted thousands and thousands of messages on it when all you do it use it as a yard stick to beat Sunderland fans with, very odd.

Didn't you have an account on there for years, racking up thousands and thousands of posts, day in, day out?

I think they'll bring in another today, Gyokeres has been linked heavily. Dyche would probably like Maupay as he runs around like a lunatic.

I honestly couldn't give two shits about what is posted on the SMB, I have said it before and said it again it does not represent normal Sunderland fans and using this continually as a yard stick in every single thread is boring.

I think they'll bring Simms back, Lampard was so naïve in bringing him back as it limited Simms options completely.

Aye completely ironic one moron on the SMB said something about Bruno then Stewart fucks his Achilles.. Highly unlikely Stewart has played his last game, We will no doubt activate his further one year extension with another contract offer already on the table.

Stewart out for the season, proper shitter, desperate for a striker to come in today now.

No chance without Stewart if we don’t get a replacement. Looks a bad one, we’ve been hammered with injuries this season.

Aye, prefer curry sauce on me chips like, nee cheese for me.

The sooner you get it into your head that the SMB doesnt represent the majority of Sunderland fans the better.

I’m not getting into a tit for tat argument over seats, On the video there is evidentally not 30 seats free in every block. I honestly couldnt give a shite what our recorded attendances are and find it mad some of you are bothered by it.

It was full last Sunday

If there was 30 free in every block theres 67 blocks so that works out at 2,010 from the lower bowl capacity of 32,479 which is the max available. (Theres nee way there was 30 missing in each block by the way, The south stand and SWC is full every week) Add in 2K from the away following + 1700 ‘corporate’ + a few blocks of the Premier Concourse the attendance is just about right as given as 39,000

I've already said there is a large drop off for midweek games in comparison to weekends and West Brom was a Monday night. Burnley was a good crowd so no idea where the half empty theory is coming from, the attendance was recorded as 39,000 and that seems about right, it certainly isn't under 24,000 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tgah4Q-41l8&t=110s - Lower bowl pretty much full for Burnley.

In my 30 years attending just about every single home game, I have never heard someone say 'Don't take scalfs or flags as it's Mag behaviour' - Yet I see the same posters on the SMB saying it, Slight coincidence.

Good post but the bit in bold is just because of what you are reading on the SMB, The SMB is not a fair reflection of normal Sunderland fans.

I think it'll be in the hope they can continue developing into Premiership players but then there will be a balance that if offers come in for some of them that you can't turn down, We will cash in and you'll make a profit. No one really knows what the long term plan is with Kyril, Nobody really knows how much he is going to spend as their is still no indication of how much he's worth and when he gets access to his mothers pot really. He seems to have serious connections across the footballing / business network so something may develop their in time, Your guess is as good as mine. He's put a lot of money into the infrastructure behind the scenes and invested heavily in the recruitment and coaching teams that had previously been left to rot. Alese is really good, I would say he's one of the best one's considering he's been playing left back but he's a centre half. All the new young lads seem decent to be fair, The one who hasn't done much is Bennette who was arguably the most promising on paper.

Most reasoned post I have seen on this thread to date.

I mean, it's never half empty but if that's the line you want to go with fair enough, makes the entire debate futile, To my knowledge they haven't announced a full house either.

It's been open this season mate, Around 2,000 were chucked into the gods for last Sundays game.
