Love this guy... (1 Viewer)

Fair enough, seems a decent fella.

He seems very levelheaded for a football fan...

To be fair, the majority of Sunderland fans are like this. Like all clubs there are a few idiots who tarnish the reputation for others

Fair play to him

Always entertaining and always fair about the opposition.

That is as fair as it can get . Makes me want Sunderland to do ok now

As much as I dislike their attitude towards us... I do believe they are thoroughly passionate supporters and extraordinarily well supported for a city of its size.

Putting any ill feelings aside, I hope for them their future is somewhat brighter

I have always wanted Sunderland to do well, since they beat Leeds in the cup final with an Ian Porterfield goal. When I was a kid I used to have a team in every league, it was Sunderland, Colchester and York City. Celtic in Scotland (because it began with a 'C')

I did the same, around 1973ish. My teams were Blackpool, Grimsby and Workington. St. Mirren in Scotland from 1987 when they won the Scottish Cup.

Out of all the P/O’s I think Wycombe are the poorest team. I’d be very surprised if they won it. So I think P’boro v Wycombe next season could be interesting!

Nice to see someone with a fair minded assessment of the season.

Presumably you chose Sunderland because it begins with an S and York because it begins with a Y?

Fair play to him. Not groaning just getting on with it. Will keep my eye out for him next season always good entertainment.

Interesting that the first player he names as being worth their salt is Jordan Willis.

Hardly surprising though. I think most of us were surprised he didn't transfer to the Championship last season, and I still believe he could hold his own at that level. Alongside ourselves Sunderland had the best defensive record in the league, which was largely due to him. Despite that I don't want us to re-sign him now as I don't think he suits our style of play anymore, but he more than played his part in revitalising our club from rock bottom, staying on for a few seasons when he was one of the few players that could have moved on up the ladder, and I am grateful for that.

His move probably did move him up the salary level - the gamble was would it help take Sunderland up and in this case it didn’t - will remain to be seen how they do next season - that Guys blog on our match was hilarious - head in his hands priceless - will follow him

looking forward to not supporting Villa in their remaining matches

Nope, easily impressionable. I wanted Sunderland to beat Leeds, York because a uncle supported them, Colchester because another Uncle took me to Layer Rd. Celtic because I was asked when I was six do you support Rangers or Celtic. my name begins with a 'C' hence my childhood logic. I suppose I should support Tottenham and Watford because I'm a twat and a wanker? Do you support Wycombe and Chester?

Yes, because neither contains a Z
