Of course it does I mean, I think you're suggesting that we acknowledge the achievement of a runners-up promotion from league one (should it happen). Not only would that mean ignoring the incredible hypocrisy of their fans celebrating it after the way they carried on, it'd be their lowest ever league finish as a club. As rival fans a suggestion that we should not ridicule that and acknowledge it as a success seems a bit bizarre tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayatollah Hermione 13866 Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Aye, quite why we should be rational and level-headed about anything they do when they're incapable of doing it themselves is a weird one. Collapsing into the third tier was a disaster and the fact that their promotion hopes rest on a mammoth run of games in a month is another one. Luton lost their manager half way through the season and they're still beating everyone left, right and centre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A longer close season of being totally pissed off. Actually would almost be worth it for them to get promoted automatically, and the relegated again next season.

Aye. Basically Rafa only won the Championship because Brighton had a lower points total after 46 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seething we'll be next month, because I still believe they'll go up. LALAS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howay 12496 Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 This Netflix show man. The Don has also been banging on about it being what has drawn the interest of potential investors, and etc. Which fucking maniac would watch that and think they seem like a good investment in any way?

Tom 14011 Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Quote Many Sunderland fans held a lasting grudge against Jimmy Hill – when Sunderland played his then club Fulham in 2008, he waved to the Sunderland fans in response to their less-than-friendly chants – and had to be ushered away by police for his own safety.
