Sunderland fans excited

I'm already looking forward to next season, hopefully Leeds will be in the championship as well, will really spice it up having some more good local sides in the league, Bournemouth are the most insipid boring club ever and Fulham are not far behind them.
 
Have quite a few mackem mates who are absolutely sound, similar to us every silver lining has a cloud etc always looking at at how/where things will fall apart........
They genuinely don't mind Boro, hate Newcastle.
Sadly they do seem to have a large % of numpties in their support even now genuinely looking towards a play off push next season.....they are in for a very big shock, seems they have forgotten how brutal the Championship is, and that squad they have - to be extremely kind - is bang average and in desperate need of a Championship level rebuild. Do they have the money to improve sufficiently for a playoff challenge - doubtful. Rather than Forest being their model they will probably be looking at Luton......
We'll see, bring it on 👍
 
Pleased for them, they shouldn’t be down there.
They aren’t. They are now in the Championship, where they currently deserve to be.

They should have been down there the previous 4 seasons though.

Don’t let them fool you that crowd sizes should dictate your position in the league pyramid.

It’s down to quality of management and playing staff.
 
There’ll be two thousand mackems singing about how everyone on Teesside is a pedophile when they come here. Personally I’d eject anyone from the ground who is heard singing that kind of thing - which would be all of them. Better still just don’t give them any tickets at all
 
By the way mackems we might be small time!!!

but we’ve only ever spent 2 full seasons in our entire almost 150 year history that’s TWO seasons in that pub league you’ve called home for the last few years.

and one of those was purely down to finance issues.
 
Stuff em.
Who cares?
We have Chris Wilder and the spine of a team - expecting exciting signings and a genuine push for automatic promotion.
It takes more than kids and bit part players in this league.
Our club Management, recruitment and overall structure is well ahead of theirs.
They sound like Derby.
Pity they missed each other

They were in the 3rd tier for a reason - not good enough for the championship… end of.
Nowt to do with club size or perceived grandeur, just not good enough.
I’m not bothered they are back. Fair play, I suppose - I remember when Bolton hammered them and it looked very bleak for them then. Once they beat Sheff Weds I knew they would get it - the most successful NE team at Wembley!
 
Read a comment on their board today from one of them saying they're a much bigger club than Notts Forest.

That would be the same Forest who've won two European cups.
They are, if you look at honours won then they are ahead of Forest and on a crowd basis they are way bigger than the Trees. We are obsessed with making Sunderland out to be smaller than they are, maybe the 20+ years I have lived in Devon means I don't get all riled up anymore at the mention of their name, when I read this forum regarding Sunderland it seems like all objectivity goes out of the window. If they were located down south we would be more appreciative of what they are and not want to put them down. However that doesn't mean they are not c**ts at our matches for their constant paedo singing and also hypocrites for getting worked up about the Adam Johnson songs the Mags sent their way.
