    Errors Leading To Goals

    Just as well players do make a mistake or every game ends 0 v 0. Mistakes are part and parcel of the game and the one thing you can be assured is that the lad who made the mistake last night and was distraught - he will have his time in the sun at some point in the future. He will be a hero...

    Match Thread Sunderland - Coventry City Match Thread - Tuesday 13th May

    The bookies may well make Sunderland winning a foregone conclusion - haven't seen the odds - but the scenarios one way and another for both teams are so simple that the tie remains in the lap of the Gods. Against Sheffield United this season at the SOL we set up as per last night and won 2 v 1...

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

    I can absolutely assure you that Sunderland AFC will not be over confident next Tuesday. Do you think we know nothing about football? Sunderland went to your place with a game plan and they played it almost to perfection. the main question was - could we/Sunderland raise our game after 5...

    Playoff Semi Final 1st Leg Bristol City - Sheffield Utd 08/05/25 8pm ko

    There is no pressure on Sunderland. We are making up the numbers in the play offs. Coventry City are the overwhelming favourites here and you are expected to win handsomely - home and away. We're along for the ride. Never has there been such little expectation on Sunderland. We will hopefully...

    Or maybe it's not. Maybe it's about time I had a bit of a rummage around and see what other unsubstantiated rubbish you are writing about Sunderland? You've been caught out again on this board making wild unsubstantiated statements about Sunderland. another one was about our fans seemingly...

    Never mind - happy for you - you've been caught out yet again on this board making wild unsubstantiated statements involving Sunderland. Maybe some of you should check out your statements before you play the victim card.

    Playoff Semi Final 1st Leg Bristol City - Sheffield Utd 08/05/25 8pm ko

    I beg your pardon? Coventry City spend = £21.25m - Coventry City - Transfers 24/25 Sunderland = £11.75m - Sunderland AFC - Transfers 24/25 In the end we had a net transfer spend in - in other words we spent nothing. Dont compare Sunderland AFC to the parachute clubs - we have no money and I'm...

    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...

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

    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...

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

    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.

    Sunderland AFC

    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...

    Sunderland AFC

    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...

    Sunderland AFC

    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...
