I wrote our season off after the cup defeat to Cardiff. I couldn't give a toss whether we finish 8th or 9th. The only remaining thing that could happen this season to raise a smile from me is if the Mackems went down so us losing against Fulham and Palace wouldn't bother me in the slightest.

Still works on mine. A photo with the word 'At every club players are imortalised throughout history. At Sunderland AFC the fans are our true icoms. You are our legends'

 

:anguish:

 

The Micks > Shearer.

 

Anyone who claims any different is just bitter.

That's how far our club has fallen ffs. I almost agree tbh

Is anyone here serious about wanting us to lose either of our next two games?  I mean I know we aren't exactly going places, but I just couldn't bring myself to want us to lose just because it might help Sunderland go down.  f*** Sunderland I'm sure they can handle relegation on their own.

 

I want us to win our next 3 games 10-0, then the 4 after those 5-0.

Doesn't matter what we do against Fulham, they're down and finishing below that lot.

 

This is true. If the mackems go down they'll finish 18th IMO, think it will be very tight either way.

 

That said, I reckon Palace will get a point off them this weekend. I think the two cup defeats will have temporarily knocked the stuffing out of them.

Exactly the same for me.

We aren't gonna qualify for Europe, and will finish either 8th, 9th or 10th, none of which matter.

 

I'd be just as happy for us to lose against the bottom shite and the mackems get relegated.

It'd be a silver lining if we do lose, but I'm not at the stage of wanting us to lose for that lot. Football's gone if I start wanting us to lose for that kind of shite reason, loads of teams have to spend years away from glory or relegation, you still want to win one game at a time.

We could all be selective about how appalling other teams fans can be. I think the best stance to take is to admit every club has fans that are disgraceful, and then make sure the good fans condemn them unreservedly.

true, so why do so may Mackems claim to be something better,classy marras etc, when the evidence to everyone else is the exact opposite?

I don't think most Sunderland supporters think we're different from anyone else. I've seen our fans behave amazingly well, and at times absolutely terribly, as I have with fans of every other football club.

Regardless of what you think, this 'classy' mantra has spread like a rash amongst your lot online, almost always coupled with an 'unclassy'  jibe levelled at us. My post above is calling out the bullsh*t, as I'm sure would happen the other way round if we suddenly declared ourselves the ne plus ultra of the North-East fanbase.

 

Put it this way - one arseh*le took a swing at a horse and one adolescent idiot erroneously wrote 'boycoutt'...and ever since we haven't heard the end of either. Given the behaviour of some of the pond-life in the links provided, I think your lot got off lightly in return.

Sunderland have named former Chelsea chief scout Lee Congerton in a newly created role of sporting director.

 

The 40-year-old replaces Roberto De Fanti, who was sacked in January after seven months as director of football.

 

Congerton has left a similar role with Bundesliga side Hamburg, whom he joined in 2011 after six years in west London.

 

"Nowadays, recruitment is one of the most important areas in football so I'm looking forward to working alongside Lee," said head coach Gus Poyet.

 

After an unglamorous playing career that was ended by injury, Congerton went into youth coaching at Wrexham and Liverpool before moving to Stamford Bridge.

 

There he worked alongside sporting director Frank Arnesen, who took him to Hamburg after a backroom clear-out at Chelsea following Andre Villas-Boas's sacking as head coach.
