The Championship was all the more satisfying for all the media talk pre-season. "The Championship is the toughest league to get out of. I fancy them to struggle. It will be a shock to the Newcastle players."

 

Aye, a shock it was so fucking easy. Didn't Smith play a load of games? At some point wasn't Guthrie/Nolan a dominant midfield partnership? Neither of them can fucking run ffs.

 

We where fortunate in the sense.. half the side where much better players than they had shown the previous year.

 

Geremi/Lovenkrands/Guthrie/Smith aside.. the nucleus of the side are still Premiership players and a couple earned "big" moves.

Chris Kamara tipping us for relegation and Peterborough to go up being the highlight of that.

Geremi wasnt in the side. Our second half of the season side that dominated was.

 

                                  Harper

Simpson        Williamson      Coloccini      Enrique

Routledge        Guthrie          Nolan            Jonas

                        Lovenkrands  Carroll

 

:D

As others have said, I really don't think Sunderland have the players for relegation. Doesn't help they have practically signed a whole new squad in the last 12/18 months.

They do that every summer. Setting alight the transfer window and all that.

 

And even if they stay up they'll need a whole new team, AGAIN. There are perhaps 3 reasonably good players in their team and they don't even fucking own two of them, major investment is needed once more as they can't generate that kind of money by selling the dross they have atm. I'm curious as to when Ellis Short will reach the point where he says 'you know what, this clearly isn't working, no you can't have loads of money to waste on shit players again.'

Seems worse this season. Last season they had Sessegnon, Mignolet and Rose (loan).

 

This season they have Borini (loan) who despite probably being their best player isn't exactly a goal machine. They are in real trouble. They don't have a single player I would have near our first 11 this time around.

 

Edit: Forgot Johnson tbf but I wouldn't put much faith in his long term form.

That sounds like a challenge. Somebody get over to RTG and ask for the latest joint team line-up.

I was thinking Mannone, Ki and Borini are their only reasonably good players, but Borini is the only one I'd consider for our team and that's only as a backup to Remy because we're so short of options up front. They don't have anyone I'd put in our first-team.

 

When Ki and Borini are gone literally their only player worth a shite will be their goalie. In the prem it will be like every single game is one of those pre-relegation Given vs <insert team here> games we used to have every so often.

 

Sometimes, I think about the difference between the two teams, and then I consider that we actually handed these useless puddles of dick dribble 6 points this season. I can only assume it was out of pity as we knew they wouldn't stay up without them.
