Doing better than we did at this stage tbf :okay:

 

I think we lost to a better team though. Derby had only a couple of decent players and Ince was one of them and he's gone. Sunderland looked right at home in that division, I don't think they'll be leaving it any time soon.

Tonight is probably a truer reflection of the Sunderland support, as allegedly Bain has put a stop to the doling out of free tickets en made.

 

A shade shy of 30,000 is pretty good in all honesty, but the fact is it's always going to appear like a few peas rolling round an empty plate when there are 20,000 spare pews.

 

As a town planner, I recall the original

planning application for the Stadium of Light was 34,000. Had they built it that size, they could have packed it the last 10 years without having to prop up the numbers with great waves of freebies dished out to all and sundry. The irony is, had they done so they would have been praised for their crowds (full Stadium despite being utter shit year in year out), rather than criticised for significant empties, despite the fact they'd have been getting less punters in.

 

Bob Murray was far too concerned with keeping up with the Jones' than long term planning however, and, as usual, his gaze was in the direction of NE1 4ST.

 

Incidentally, the game was crap I thought.

I don't think they'll be in danger but I don't think they'll be anywhere near Boro or Villa. Somewhere between 5th and 10th.

yeah looking at that last night they seemed to have a decent enough look about them if i'm being honest, if they add a few loans to their squad they might not do too badly but looking at the squad last night it's paper thin if they get a few injuries and suspensions you'd imagine they'll struggle

I thought Derby outplayed them football wise, but the mackems showed great team spirit and worked very hard. Grabban will score 10 + and McGeady looks like he will be a real threat while Kone was very good I thought. They lack real quality however and will struggle to make the playoffs. Derby will struggle too. It's a tougher Championship this season, for sure.

Sunderland launched their away kit last night during the game. It was 'hidden' on a fan who was wearing it while sitting in the crowd. Sky cameras focused in on him, but I don't think anyone noticed or cared. Amazing.

Found their level as a Club/ City/ fans. In and around the play offs.

 

Could literally be more enjoyable and affordable for them.

 

Not even sure its any sort of ridicule given the way the premier league has gone, you could just get on with football away from it.

A few Mackems on my Facebook are going with the "one more point that the Jawdees spin". Have kindly pointed out that we took six points off Derby last year. Seems to have quietened the f***ers down

If they draw this wonder how long it takes for them to mention that they have one more point than the mags did at this stage last season.

 

Surprise. :lol:
