A big win for them and their inflated ego’sThey're buzzing about it on their forum.
They won't be bothered about promotion now. This is enough.
They're a big club and definitely bigger than us, but there are only a handful of English clubs who should be described as "enormous".Nothing poor about his comments, factually correct even if we don't care for them.
There is no grounding for them to be definitely bigger than us. I honestly don't get it. They only thing they definitely have on us is serially underachieving.They're a big club and definitely bigger than us, but there are only a handful of English clubs who should be described as "enormous".
Sunderland wouldn't even make it into the top 10 for me if somebody ranked each English club in terms of size.
They've had 86 seasons in the top flight, we've had 61.There is no grounding for them to be definitely bigger than us. I honestly don't get it. They only thing they definitely have on us is serially underachieving.
Poor from you tooNothing poor about his comments, factually correct even if we don't care for them.
I despise SunderlandSurprised by this thread as I thought Boro fans didn’t care about Sunderland.

AyePoor from you too
And the league titles and FA Cups.Alongside the pizza hut shield.
I think there's many factors that need to be considered when determining the size of a club.I have no idea what 'big' means if i am being brutally honest when used in regard to the status of a football club if the qualification criteria for 'big' is to win trophies
Sunderlands last league win is approaching 100 years ago, if i built a time machine and travelled back 100 years i would agree Sunderland were a 'big' football club
If your counting historical records and using attendances as a marker sunderland are at 25 k, Boro 19K with a 6k Delta
Financially Sunderland are not even contenders
So what is the measure that is being used, obviously all time records, like saying Nokia is a huge player in the phone market because they used to be a huge player in the phone market
There are far Bigger clubs as an example in the german 2nd division with bigger crowds and more recent history who nobody associates with their massiveness as league
performance is the only relevant marker for success in reality
