Dave Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Look at me, look at me, I'm dying. Pathetic. Joking aside, puts it all into perspective really. Hope he gets to see them win. I'm going to hell. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuy_O Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 It does make astonishingly good reading... I might be way off the mark but it woudnt suprise if we were on the box more times in our season in the championship than them in the prem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BooBoo Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 It isn't a great statue imo, but it's hardly poor. Certainly nothing really to slag off about it, other than it could have been better. I really like it. I'm not sure what people were expecting. It's a statue, it's never gonna be an exact likeness but I really like the pose and the positioning. Personally, I think for once, the club have got this spot on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decky Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 I'm pretty sure we were one of the most televised teams in the country that year because the BBC had the rights to some as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BooBoo Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Whether we are doing well or poorly, NUFC is box office. Sunderland never has been and barring a miraculous Man City esque takeover, they will always be a B/C lister in terms of media coverage. They are in the same bracket as the likes of Villa. Well supported but really not that interesting to those outside their own fanbase. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tooj Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Absolutely awful reading that thread, my deepest sympathies go out to anybody who is suffering from such a plight. Also the bit when he said he knows Sunday will be the last time he goes to watch his team play really did make my heart sink. Putting aside tribalism for one moment, that is something we could all potentially relate to and I'm sure at the final whistle he will be crying his eyes out due to his unfortunate fate and knowing he will never be returning to see the team he has supported and loved all of his life.

Guest johnson293 Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 They are falling over themselves to slag the Bobby Robson statue. Ridiculous. Aye - in the thread they had before the statue was unveiled, it was all about how we spat at and hounded him out and shouldn't be putting a statue up, while Lady Elsie and Bobby's sons were all Sunderland supporters, and they (SAFC) gave Bobby the respect he deserved before he died. Now, the statue is unveiled, they are just saying how shite it is, and comparing the likeness to random people. I mean, that's very respectful to the Robson family, who are obviously happy with the statue themselves. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan_Taylor Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Post 8 I will tell you what Scott Parker will do in a game. 1. Make a face like Steptoe 2. Make a face like he is negotiating a very tricky poo. 3. Wear his shorts as a necklace. 4. Turn around 8 times before a pass like a dancer in a music box. 5. Huff and Puff 6. Put in a few good tackles. 7. Put in a few shit tackles and get away with it "because we all know that is how Scotty plays, he is full blooded with his heart on his sleeve" wrong he is a . 8. Do an impression of a small dinosaur. 9. Flick his hair a bit. 10. Piss me off by collecting the MOTM award at the end of the game for doing the total sum of fuck all.
