The 4-3 win against Man City in the year after we were relegated will live long in the memory (although technically not named ‘the championship’ at this stage). The season where Adams got us to 8th wasn’t bad, but in general we were never really very good during our entire stay!

I said this the other day to a couple of mates, or maybe an upgraded loan. We haven’t done too badly in the past couple of seasons with Sterling and then Dabo! May be able to nab a couple of players closer to the first team picture now that we’re in the Championship, especially via Adi...

Spot on. I’d say Sunderland fans are going through that very cycle at present. Having experienced what we have since relegation from the Premier League, to where we find ourselves today has been very humbling. I feel as though we are going back in to the Championship as a small fish in a large...

Any cats?

i think it’s just a case of sitting back and enjoying the entertainment in the comfort of your own home. Looking forward to it!

It’s hard to gauge right now. If we’d have been able to continue playing, I think our momentum would’ve really carried on into next season but who knows what’s possible with this management team, the team spirit and a couple of quality additions. We surprised many this year, we may do the same...

after he missed a penalty too.... luckily Madders saved the day!

Akpom who would only be allowed to play for us if he wasn’t turning out for Arsenal in the under 12’s Champions League. Why a bizarre arrangement that was. I remember Pressley absolutely bollocking him after a defeat at Brentford.

Always preferred him to McCallum. Hope he gets the left back berth again next season and proves his class for us in the Championship.

Just for old times sake

I recall when Boddy was appointed that there was much cynicism and concern, given his history, but I actually think he’s been a breath of fresh air and hasn’t done a lot wrong. He engages with the fans and takes time to explain all situations as best he can and comes across as if he actually...

Nope, any little amount that helps towards keeping the club going is enough for me. Would’ve paid 3 times the price of a ST for what I’ve witnessed in 19/20.

Especially as he openly stated he would stand down if they weren’t promoted this season. He’s making himself look more of a wally with each day that passes.

Sunderland boss backs radical promotion plan affecting Coventry Even by Sunderland’s standards, this is utterly embarrassing from Parkinson. What makes it worse is that he’s implying we could still fuck it up and should get dragged into this nonsense mini-tournament, that’s been dreamt up. I...

Oh I wasn’t for a second backing them or saying that wasn’t the case, just that in terms of running the football side of things they won’t (and shouldn’t) resort to their original plan of saddling the club with even more debt be it from transfer fees or excessive wages. I want them gone as much...

I think they’re damned if they do and damned if they don’t. People will openly criticize the owners if they don’t go out and spend millions on a proven 20 goal striker and at the same time as Clint said above, if we are left to recover from a gamble that doesn’t pay off there will be uproar. It...

we really blew it didn’t we? I recall Nilsson’s run when he took over galvanized us and we had some memorable wins, none more so than the 4-3 against Man City which was one of my favorite ever games. Our downfall coincides with Jim Smith coming in and bringing with him the Derby rejects such as...

I forgot that this game was Strachan’s last in charge. From the highlights it didn’t look as though we played too badly, should’ve scored a hatful.

Always rated him, was sad the way it ended as I thought he could’ve gone on to be a bit of a legend but he lost his way once we were relegated. The 0-1 home defeat to Grimsby where he was dispossessed on the halfway line still lives long in the memory. A real wake-up call to SHFWHF.

I was literally just thinking the same thing. It’d certainly be a damp squib, particularly not being able to celebrate together and praise the team and management who have been nothing short of superb. But then again, if we were to remain in League 1 that would be utterly gut wrenching. We’ve...
