Sunderland fans excited

One of their Radio Newcassal commentary team referred to their promotion as: "a return to the promised land."

They're a big club, don't you know!
 
The famous I don’t care about Boro comments are all over their board. For a club who doesn’t care about us they do love to talk about us 😂😂😂. Can’t wait to smash them next season
 
What a surprise, they've already started a thread to discuss whether it's a derby game or not. No doubt a few more of these will appear before we play them.

 
I wonder how old some posters are on there?
Going back to my experience in the late 70s and 80s, their fathers and grandfathers treated it as a "derby".
They always take a disproportionate amount of time telling us our game is not a "derby" - surely contradicting themselves?
They dont really know who or what they are: a second fiddle Skunks or a rudderless fishing boat anchored on the River Wear.
Its only a particular radio station and media in London who trot out the patronising "big club" nonsense - it makes the deckchairs feel valued - for a few minutes.
Good luck to them.
 
They are starting already. Finally get out of the 3rd tier of English football and now back to referring to us as a small club. This is why I would have preferred them to stay in that league for a few more seasons. I work with a lot of Sunderland lads and they are good lads to be fair. The vast majority on that SMB board seem like complete w@nkers however. Absolute keyboard warriors.

Looking forward to our usual 6 points off them next season. UTB.

It will be hilarious if they go straight back down like.
 
I was having a chat with my brother yesterday, and saying how I wouldn’t mind if they do it this time, good for the North East etc.
He made the point that it if they come up, it won’t be long before they remind me of why I can’t stand them….

Took all of 12 hours 😂
 
It's so funny looking at that forum. Any Boro related thread is always hotly debated yet many of them claim they don't care. I'm 42 years old and in my entire life Sunderland have been *****. How they can claim to be a big club is ridiculous. Well supported yes. Significant? Not at all.
 
I'm glad they've gone up, the Sunderland lads I know are mostly grounded and I always think our two clubs are similar in many ways.

But they're going to have to plough some cash into their team I think.
 
Fooking Sky commentator yesterday.
They had only been promoted 5 minutes and he was bleating on about how big a club they are and that they should be in the Premier League.
It can only be based on the fact that they beat Leeds in '73 because I don't recall fook all since.
Speaking of Leeds, Sky's other media darlings.
2 years ago they were shouting how the sleeping giant had returned to the big time, how former glory was about to be restored.
That went well didn't it ?😁😁👍
