    Match Thread Coventry v Sunderland Championship Playoff 1st Leg Friday 9th May

    Not really interested. I say the things that others wont. I'd be interested to hear a Sunderland fans argue with the points I've made because they are all true. Clearly what I've said has resonated or people wouldn't be looking in on my posts.

    that is perfectly correct. It is his fault IMHO and he has totally ballsed this up. As a lad/lass said on our forum last night - we should have tried to chase Sheffield United down, not down tools (if that's what we did). Last week the bloke came out and said that "we are now trying" after...

    We have no idea whether that was the best you have played or not - we don't watch you other than twice per season. what we do know is that you deservedly thrashed us and we were played off the park; whether that was your second string midfield, your third choice goalie or whatever - we were...

    This bloke in particular needs two raise his game substantially or he is looking at becoming very unpopular on Wearside. If we capitulate in these two games, as we have done in the last few weeks/months the club will come under massive pressure to sack him.

    I'd like too see those posts as well mind. the Sunderland fans generally agreed after you hammered us that we completely deserved everything we got. there was absolutely nobody said that you were lucky to win. there was surely no coventry fan saw Sunderland that day and came away thinking "aye...

    It hasn't been announced, but there are people on the RTG message board who keep tabs on this and they reckon about 35k so far - Attendance Thread - Coventry City (Play-Off 2nd Leg) (look at post number 3) Some Sunderland fans are waiting too see what happens on Friday before committing.

    I'd be interested to see those links mind. I've just been looking around at articles relating to the game and I can't find one that predicts a Sunderland win - not one. Coventry are quite rightly the overwhelming favourites to win the round and progress to Wembley. Can you show me the links...

    I can't find one newspaper/preview of the game where anyone predicts a Sunderland win. To all intents and purposes Coventry City are the overwhelming favourites here and Sunderland's chances have been totally written off.

    We are supposed to have a full side to choose from but we had the same bodies available against Oxford and QPR and lost - so I'm not sure that counts for much. Le Bris has made an arse of this whole season and it's imploded right when it shouldn't. As someone said on our message board we should...

    Sorry I never answered this question either. Being in my mid 60's I remember the game well of course and at the time Sunderland fans were obviously disappointed to be relegated. However from memory this was largely forgotten about and it didn't rear its ugly head again until the third...

    Funny or not Le Bris is doing exactly as he did at L'Orient - started off brilliant, ended the season crap and then the next season he took them down. This is shaping up to be the same. What'll happen is that we will lose these play offs embarrassingly, he will start next season (unless the QPR...

    Sorry mate I didnt give you a reply to your question. We started off playing high pressing, quick football, where we hunted down the opposition in packs. It was really difficult to play against and we got something like 36 points out of the first 39 or something ridiculous like that. We were 5...

    Sunderland forum at it again

    As a Sunderland fan I can tell you now that there is no rivalry between the clubs over the 1977 issue. I'm 63 so remember the game and the night well and you use gamesmanship to get you to where you want to be. I'd like to think we would have done the same if circumstances were different. The...

    Thought I'd come on and give you the gory details about your opponents on Friday and next Tuesday, because I don't think either your support or the wider footballing world has any inkling whatsoever how poor we are - and have been for months. We go into this game on the back of 7 defeats out...
