Neil Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Has it? The posts I come across from there are just as clueless as they always were. Honestly, if I could think of one club in the league that defines mediocrity, average, lack of skill, boring; it'd be Sunderland. Depressing place, depressing squad. Good enough not to get caught in a serious relegation battle, never going to be that good a side. Fun. Seriously, try to be objective. You have the newly promoted sides for the 2012/2013 season and Norwich, Swansea, QPR - all looking for forwards momentum after successful seasons in their first season back (to varying degrees). Aston Villa? Sure, very bad season but they're a famous club with plenty of past success - a much bigger name than Sunderland. Err, who else? Fulham? Better than Sunderland. Even Blackburn who got relegated can say they won the title in the not too distant past. Wigan? Hell, at least they provide some entertainment with their escape acts. What do Sunderland do? What do they actually do? Achieve a high percentage of throw-ins in their own half or something? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Snrub Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Sessegnon is their only decent player Defence is full of slow, past it Man U rejects, midfield is anonymous and strikers couldn't score on a dartboard, yet they're convinced they should be challenging for Europe.

Seemingly their only goal is to stay in the league, (somehow) scrap a few results and worship mediocrity as something constructive. Kind of like Stoke, only in a more perplexing way. At least Stoke have decided on a one way route to nothingness and utter boredom. I'm not sure their fans agrees on this, but at least they seem less delusional watching their team do their trade. Expectations and that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 In February 2010, a few mags got together and hatched a plan to infiltrate the SMB by posing as Sunderland fans. Enraged by the nationwide popularity of the SMB and, by extension, the popularity of Sunderland fans, they decided that the best way to affect change was from within. During this meeting, the term 'magedia' was coined, as was a posting style. Appear obsessed with Newcastle, and permanently angry. Appear deluded about the status of Sunderland. Appear to venerate average former staff. In other words, make it look to outsiders that Sunderland fans think like Newcastle fans. Now, over 2 years on, some are in too deep. Many have quietly decided to become fully fledged Sunderland fans (thecozmo), some have gone quite insane (ShieldsBlackCat), while many have found themselves ostracized by their friends and family (Radio Free Europe, Wacky, Hashtag). The mission has been a rank failure, of course, but the mental toll on the participants has been so great that some are unable to see it. Like a Vietnam vet giving head for a a vile of crystal meth, these poor wretches are condemned to fight a perennial war on the most solemn battleground of all - their minds.

bhoywhonder Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Still can't believe they spent £6 million on Craig Gardner. That's ridiculous, I actually had to check Wiki to see if that was accurate. The picture on his profile page man! A match photo of him in full flight on the field of play, looking athletic, focussed and every inch the professional footballer? Nah, dozy as fuck, looking slightly half-cut, hanging out his car window..... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Craig_Gardner Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benwell Lad Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Really think they will be relegated next season. Agree, they had two prolonged periods of relegation form last season, one with Oniel and one without. But for a few flukey wins after he arrived they'd have been down. It will be interesting to see when the fawning,brainwashed masses turn on him this time. I say rumblings by October with full on hatred and bile by late December.

Tisd09 Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Barrios/Sow McClean - Sessegnon - Johnson Cattermole - Colback Richardson - Brown - O'Shea - Debuchy Mignolet Read more: http://www.readytogo.net/smb/showthread.php?t=702732&page=4#ixzz1vdr2zt4p :lol: If you want to have a guess before clicking the link: he had a spectacular but brief stint on here a month or 2 ago. The funny thing is that even with those unrealistic additions that squad would certainly still struggle to break Europe (which he suggests) Further on they mention Bertrand as a realistic signing, the guy turned down a chance last season to leave Chelsea to give it one last go, has played a few times this season and was a starter and played well in one of the biggest games in their history. Yeah he's really going to turn around this season and say "BlackCatts for me like" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
