When you live in Sunderland I guess all you can do is either get out and disown your past (if you're sensible) or develop a fervent imagination. I mean our equivalent would be something like: Imagine Sunderland get relegated from the preimiership. Then imagine they are so shit in the second tier they end up bottom of the league with various comical club carry on. Then imagine they have to beat Burton to avoid relegation to League 1, the very team they used to take the piss out of us. THEN imagine that Darren Bent of all people scores the deciding goal which relagates them. THEN imagine a film crew actually filmed this for posterity and it viewed on the most popular streaming serivce. I mean, even in my most fervent imagination I doubt I could conjure such a scenario. Oh.9 points

Remember when the mags knew they couldn’t make as a big a tip of Covent Garden as we did, marra? So instead of drinking cans and pissing in the street there, they went in the pubs there instead? Then the the whole of America walked past on holidayah, and asked them if they’d heard of Sunderland because it’s the most famous club in the world because of Netflix9 points

no, you're wrong. he's shite and a complete and utter waste of money. what's more, he wouldn't get anywhere near the starting line-up of the mackem's current team of multi ballon d'or winning superstars. read it here.... https://www.readytogo.net/smb/threads/anthony-gordon-going-to-scum.1598785/8 points

It's very odd. I've said this before but honestly, hand on heart, I am perfectly happy to objectively consider them on their merits. They've done better than I thought they would. They are very unlikely to get relegated and have an outside chance of reaching the play offs (although to me it looks like more established teams will pip them to it). They played well against Boro, although I would note that imo they were lucky for the penalty which Stewart dived for, and their second goal was well taken by a ManU player (I think?). But that team did not play more attractive football than us, and they would be embarassed by us if we played them. That's clearly the state of play at this moment in time, forgetting about ownership. But do they give us any credit at all? No, despite mountains of evidence to the contrary, we're just a team of flukey hoofers. Despite out goal diffeerence (showing we also score goals), despite returning frequently to goal of the month, despite now having one of the best defences in premiership history, they are so bitter they can't give credit where its due. And then that fucking moron of an admin on their Keith states some bollocks how Newcastle fans no nowt about football, despite him having said (lied) he's only watched us in one match this season. We "play awful" football is their latest crutch and its demonstrably bollocks. The thing is, as you say, this just makes it funnier. We're not haqving a purple patch which is going to end like with Pardew, our trajectory is in one direction only, its just happening much faster than I ever dared believe possible. I'm pretty confident we will reach the LC final and I will be more confident of winning it when we are than I was in 97 or 98. They still bang on about Felling criciket club (!) having a blue manchester day when they got to the final. I would put my mortgage on the house the whole of Weirdside will be like a mental asylum on final day if we get there, I mean even more than normal. Suck it up, marras.6 points

Even though I’m not a betting man, I’d put money on us; 1- Not having some daft lad splitting his head open by diving in to the 1ft deep fountain. 2- Not having a naked granny taking a shit in said fountain.6 points

Scoring goals is the hardest thing to do in football. Look at our midfield and attack tonight and Bruno is the only player added since the takeover and he’s playing fairly deep. Eddie Howe has completely remodelled the defence and turned it into the best in the Premier League. He has done wonders with our midfield and the best he can with our attack where we’re dominating and creating chances but they aren’t good enough or we aren’t finishing them. He has reached the limit of what he can do at this level. When you see Willlock, Longstaff and Joelinton all blazing chances over and compare it with the professionalism of the rest of the team then you realise that some turds can’t be turned into diamonds. They're getting into the right positions but they aren’t instinctive finishers. So the personnel has to change. We need more goals regularly from the forwards and midfielders and we’re going to have to spend money to do so. You can train most players to graft and to run and to get into the right positions but if they don’t have natural finishing then they don’t have it. Willock and Longstaff need to be off the team sheet next year and we need competition for Almiron and someone for LW to allow Joelinton back into midfield. There are huge changes needed to get our squad into shape and Howe has worked miracles to get us where we are but to even maintain this position will need big investment in the summer.6 points

And if we don’t it’ll will look like Buenos Aires did after the World Cup. There’ll be old men bubbling and hugging each other on the streets. Cos theyah not bothad. Marra FTM5 points

Fuck me You wouldn't have believe we'd just won the away leg of our first semi final in years on the reading of this thread... I've never heard of a low block but if it helps Fish sleep at night, more power to him. Defining abstract concepts does tend to help people who are less informed though, so maybe for the veteran, seasoned fans of the game it's needless - but for the younger generation or more casual observers I can see it having some merit.5 points

Drivel. When has any area of the game been described as "Low"? Never is the answer, there's "high" up the pitch and "deep" which were perfectly adequate descriptors. Someone thought "ooh need to invent something to re-brand "deep" so that the hipsters will think it's "new" and trendy baby !!!! We'll be having tertiary block and altitude block next.5 points

First rule of RTG now is they're not allowed to talk about us because they're apparently not bothered, so all posts have to removed to mega-compendium thread on a members only forum. So instead they have to start threads which are nothing about us, oh no, where they can talk about us. What a job afmin have in that madhouse.5 points

Also here is a lovely bit of mackem logic. "If you ignore our multiple games where we have been shit marra, we've been brilliant " Absolutely tapped.5 points

It’s almost worth keeping Murphy now to bring on in moments when we need some world class shitehousery. He has improved this side of his game more the an any other. Well done Jacob.5 points

up pops a manc on an.nufc thread, on a sunderland messageboard, hidden away in parsnip. think really that somebody needs to remind him that the club he supported before fcum, employed alex ferguson for a quarter of a century, a man who was without peers at shithousing. be it officials, managers or players. employed a captain who was a spineless cunt who openly admitted to trying to break a players legs. revered a player who was shagging his brothers wife. filled a stadium with cunts who sing songs supporting argentina or mocking 96 dead football supporters. but aye, jacob murphy's a cunt.5 points

Odd because Felling lies within the historic ceremonial county of Durham. Which belongs entirely to Sunderland4 points

I tell you what, when better players eventually come in we need to keep Murphy just for the comedy value, even if it means putting him on when we're four nil up and deliberately creating a one v one for him to fuck up. Between him and the mackem reality denial meltdown it's hard to tell what's funnier? Not a bad night apart from the finishing and the ref's/VAR clown show. I also foolishly accepted an invitation to watch this in the clurb after little sleep coming off nightshift. I'm absolutely fucked this morning.4 points

Hmm, something like: Southampton were shit. We were boring and parked the bus. Joelinton's goal rightfully chalked off. Pope should have been sent off. Joelinton's goal was jammy. Armstongs goal should have stood. We're a lucky shithouse team. Eddie Howe has a face you wouldn't get tired of punching. Hope Guimares does his cruciate. Sunderland would have beaten Southampton by at least 3. Our songs are shit and we don't sing anyway. What else? Oh yeah, we kill children.4 points
