I love that we're above all of the teams that signed the players who didn't want to join us in Jan because we were too far down the league

Hangover update: Cried watching his celebration

Lass in work has just walked in the bait room wearing black addias lycra pants with a leopard skin print on the three stripes as I was making a cuppa. I think my comment asking if they were 'adidas Bet Lynch' might've went over hers and a young'uns head?

I'm at work so won't have a great bank holiday, I've also a slow puncture needs sorting but cheered up by that win and Gayle's superb run.

WBA results since Bruce would have them 20th in the Championship. Howe’s results here since Bruce was appointed at West Brom would have us second in the PL.

This is fucking excellent, especially for a club desperate to be liked. It’s what they want more than anything, possibly owing to us being so popular in the 90s. Pretty much nobody likes Sunderland, it’s a shithole. If people go for an away day at Sunderland they get the metro from Newcastle and spend their nights out in Newcastle. They are the most arrogant, deluded fanbase in the country, they’d get absolutely rinsed week in week out in the championship & yet somehow think they have a divine right to be in the premier league. HMS Piss the league sails again btw with a 0-0 draw at Plymouth. (A team who actually did love NUFC if you remember)

He actually worked with Ethel Pif from Macclesfield, the tribute act. Non, je ne regrette rien, marra. FTM.

Their responses to this post ranged from educating this Shrewsbury fan about what a big club Sunderland are, and how their rightful place is in the Premier League; accusing him of either being a mag, or sucking up to the mags, or 'can we at least agree that the mags are awful'. Tbf to them, I would say that posts related to us - an entirely unrelated third party - only made up about 50% of all responses. Finally we of course have a fair few of them who are adamant, having spoken to randoms in the pub up and down the country, that Sunderland are not only well liked, they're basically everyone's second favourite team. And their worldwide network of supporters are legion.

If mental gymnastics was a sport, these would be the undefeated world champions

I love these photos, and the inevitable seethe from opposition fans that it draws. Absolutely mental in professional sport, and supporting a team that celebrating winning games is for some reason looked down on, like we're supposed to be too cool for it or something.

What a fucking boy Bruno is but give Joe Willock freedom of Greggs for that run. What a belter. You could tell it was an Easter miracle because Shelvey actually made a couple of tackles without being wildly late for a change

Too pissed to read back through but if it’s not been mentioned, Krafth was superb today. Miggy also excellent. Two players who haven’t had much praise since Howe was appointed but if it wasn’t for Bruno being our best player by miles, these two were as important as anyone today.

They've won 3 of their last 13 after tonight I think https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/championship/formtabelle/wettbewerb/GB2?saison_id=2021&min=31&max=43

@Christmas Tree ..... this you commenting at the end of truefaith's editorial? https://true-faith.co.uk/thru-black-white-eyes-easter-rising-18-apr-2022/

The Eddie Howe factor in numbers

Someone's got to take the photos

Ridicule is nothing to be scared of. Marra.

Funny because it’s all absolutely true

Wibble

Forget the Super League, the pre-season Middle East Cup between PSG, AC Milan, Citeh and ourselves is going to be a cracking league! Maybe we could invite one or two of those debt ridden Spanish clubs and the German champions if they can afford it.

Morning Darth, I’ve watched the winner a dozen times this morning and actually Dwight Gayle’s movement towards the near post in the build up to the goal took Soyuncu with him, creating the space for Bruno to run into and connect with Willock’s cross beautifully. Have a great bank holiday! best regards etc x

Disgraceful. Shouldn't be allowed

He's doing fantastic for someone who's been here such a short time.

“The security facilities were second to none; from a little box at the back of the stand police were able to focus with precision cameras on any seat within the ground. The access ways had been designed to evacuate the stadium in the shortest time possible” Any other fucking bog standard features no one gives a fuck about does he care to mention? They plonked a flat pack, boring stadium in the middle of a fucking desolate bit of land it was never ever close to being one of the best even when it was brand new ffs. I’ve been in Quinn’s bar too and it’s a fucking eyesore, tacky horrible bright red with chrome everywhere. They have such an inflated opinion of their club, they’re a totally fucking irrelevant club and have been that for the modern era. It’s something like two or three games in Europe in their entire history, they should just embrace and enjoy their time in League one tbh as that’s around about their level.

What an unusually wholesome interview, Bruno and the interviewer both just seemed really nice. more niceness in football.

He definitely was at the end there when he had his face buried in the pitch. Can't imagine how that must have felt for him. Well earned too. And what a way to win it at the end. Especially with Rodger's team trying to waste time with their go nowhere brand of possession football.

this place erupted today when his second goal went in. reckon the lad was properly moved by it. don't think it's being ridiculous to suggest we've got a kid here that's got the world in his hands.

Credit to Howe for resisting the temptation to break up a winning setup and simply throw our new world-class midfielder into the first team once the transfer window closed. He bided his time, introduced Bruno slowly, and once the time was right he's given the lad his chance and Bruno has more than taken it.

Was it Plymouth that played We Are The Champions when we sealed the title down their place? Even though our win relegated them?

That's an ironic typo/autocorrect

Has he fucking shite ‘worked with PIF.

Anyone translate this gobbledegook for me please?

#Mackem logic. It's our fault.they cheered.Adam Johnson and sang he can shag who he wants.

Mega init. It was on a BBC Sport clip they were talking about Bruno and what he's given the team. Apart from his skills and pitch contribution, his mentality is superb. That's massive and what Howe is about. Buying into what he wants to do at the club. Not just on the pitch but off the pitch. Van Der Beek etc can fuck right off. Stay with your fucking shit team mate. Stay and just collect the dollar you jelly spined cunt. Rashford for me would have the balls and mentality for Howe.

Targett has to be a key transfer in summer? That ball to Willock for the run was class. The lad grafts and just doesn't fanny about. He's been a superb addition. Digne. Pfffft, get to fuck.

Can anyone top this slice of celeb spotting?

Couldn't watch this live but just watched it without knowing the result. Whay a finish. Well started by Targett and a driving run from Willock. Earlier I thought Miggy and Wood were leading by example with effort. Jonjo also breaking up play frequently by getting in good positions. All in all I thought tactically it was well played by Howe and although it was late eventually their tired legs showed and we took advantage. Love this team.

I thought it was when we beat them at their place when Cisse scored 2 (one a lovely lob) and he was asking the interviewer what the possession stats were and was told 80-20 and was purring/whinging about it. I remember telling a lad at work how I reckoned Rodgers was stroking his cock as he spoke.

Other than the purple thing around his necks, that’s the beigest video I’ve ever seen.

The fact that krafth is just performing as one of the team now is utterly remarkable, he didn’t look like a professional player under Bruce. I love beating rodgers teams, ever since his Swansea side came up and we did them 2-1 under Pardew in the most boring game I’ve ever watched.

Looks… err… interesting, CT.

It’ll probably be worthwhile season after next in the hunt for CL tickets.
