BlueStar Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Table doesn't lie, they've had a mortifyingly disappointing season, we've had a pleasing one. We're on the up and we've quickly got back up amongst it after relegation. Let's see what their manager, whoever it may be, does in the summer window.

Neil Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Tbh their position of 10th, for me, just sums up this season generally. They've been awful for a few months - one of the worst sides in the entire league from February onwards - yet they finished in the top half. That being said, it's obvious they have problems. They'll need significant investment just to stand still, but will Bruce be trusted with more funds? If you compare who has had a better season, it is of course Newcastle. I'd personally be shocked if you finish below them next year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueStar Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Without the points Bent got them they'd be relegated, if they don't invest majorly in the summer they're in serious trouble. But then if they do, they're in serious financial trouble. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
M4 Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 I'm more annoyed at not being top half than below them but it's still a nuisance. Part of the trifecta of that last goal: win, top half and above Sunderland finish all wiped out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 - We're a newly promoted side - They've spent loads of money - We were ahead of them until the last minute of the season - 5-1 - 6-2 on aggregate - 4 points plays 1 point - The difference between the two teams is 1 point Those are the facts. They finished above us, but if they'd had a truly successful season they'd be pushing for Europe. Brucey strikes again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest toonlass Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Don't give a fuck tbh This. Have always said I'd be happy with 17th place. Where Sunderland finish doesn't even register on my radar. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderson Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Tbh I was a bit gutted about this, not as gutted as I was about the event of our match like, but since seeing the mackem reaction to this and seeing how much we matter to them it's cheered me up tenfold. Seriously, have a quick gander at RTG, it's brilliant. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Celebrate all they want (and they will) but they finished just one point above their newly promoted rivals. And in midtable, one point means nothing really. We've caught up with them in no time and while they'll be spending money just to stand still, we'll be adding more quality and depth to our squad. Then everything will be back to normal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
