So if (when) we win the league, the top slot will appear empty. Like the BBC refusing to acknowledge ‘Relax’ going No. 1. Mad bastards. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dokko Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 This non-start to the season and potential derail can all be pin-pointed to one moment - the board trying to oust Mowbray days after leading them to an unexpected play-off position. At the time the fans were nearly all behind TM, and excited about the future. Over the summer targets have gone elsewhere, and no sign of a resolution to their only real striker on the books. TM feeling backed by the fans whilst betrayed by the board has pushed as much as he can publicly for a new striker, but the fans aren't s united behind him now and believe he needs to shut it and craic on. Which is fair enough. That's life up north, you do the best with what you've got, so TM bleating every 5 mins and being sulky isn't washing now. With 3 losses before we've even kicked a ball, then a royal humping of a very fancied team in Villa, its all going to come to a head. TM isn't massively back by the fans now, but he;s made his bed, he's going to keep going with this line as he's either going to be sacked soon because the board will have had enough of him whinging, or later on, when he cant get the team to function due to lack of goals. He's really got nothing to lose. Paid up in full for a few weeks work or over a few months. Either way, he doesn't make it to next season. Sunderland always find a way to blow their own wheels clean off, and it's been the board this time after a pretty much perfect season for them last time out.

Guest Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 The thing they like to cling to now is that no-one will ever win "6 in a row" (forgot there's a trophy or honour for that) on a level playing field again. They completely forget the fact that Ellis Short had to overspend to keep Sunderland from circling the toilet bowl for as long as they did, while Ashley was under-spending here to make it a "level playing field".

They can't touch us on ability and it woukd be a cricket scaore but one of their hatchet men could go down in mackem folklore by putting Bruno, Tonali, Isak out for the season regardless of the result. As someone said earlier they are getting to the stage where I check their score in the same way as I would Hartlepool when at one point I'd always keep a keen interest hopining theyd lose. I didn't realise they'd lost on Saturday until yesterday although tbf I was away for the weekend but even then I still managed to watch our game and knew all the Prem results. I suppose as our upward trajectory continues and the longer they stay in lower league oblivion the more the old rivallry will diminish, certainly from our side.
