Lets hope his fellow fans do as they do seem to have a downer on us - had to laugh yesterday Radio 5 were running through the clubs that the England players represented by getting someone with a local accent to say the clubs name - it came to Jordan Henderson and up pops Coventry City - very much one of our own not - we clearly taught him all we knew except for penalties :joyful:

This is now on the site

No sour grapes.
We – or those of us with too much time on our hands – might well have done the same to them.

Anyone looking in recent days at John McCormick’s detailed and scrupulously fair articles, accompanied by a poll inviting readers’ views on who will win promotion next season, will have seen how well Coventry City suddenly seemed be doing.

Just before I suspended the poll, the results showed 11,000+ votes with 26 per cent of them cast in favour of the mighty and, recalling their underhand ways in 1977 (see two items in this series about Sunderland relegations), very resourceful Coventry City.

Our error? Failing to untick a box allowing multiple voting. Result? Swarms of Coventry fans voted in multiple fashion, not only for their club but, for added fun, as many other clubs as they could see in the list.

They also looked at earlier Salut! Sunderland polls – for example the one asking what people thought of the new SAFC kit – and, spotting the same mistake on our part, voted en masse there, too. So with a heavy mia culpa, we must ask readers to disregard any poll results they encounter while navigating the archives of this site. And apologise for our sins of commission.

As for the Coventry fans who have taken such delight in our self-inflicted misfortune, whether or not they have added mischievous banter or snarling insults when boasting of how often they voted for their team, for others and against our new kit, fair play to you.

Petty? Childish? Maybe, but the sort of pettiness and childlike behaviour plenty of us would stoop to as well. It also brightened dull lives … and yes, I confess to a Coventry fan going by the name of itsabuzzard, skullduggery as practised by your club in 1977 and mentioned by me in a comment at Sky Blues Talk, needed that second “l”.

I was there for the game v Bristol City and I am now 76. A large percentage of those who were there are now in Sky Blue Heaven and most Coventry supporters were either too young or not even born back then. The same must apply to Sunderland supporters. We are both now different in many ways... different owners ( both crap ), different management, different staff, different players and even different stadiums ! Both clubs have suffered, maybe Karma ? Sky Blues in particular sank to the depths of League 2.
Isn't it time to draw a line and move on ? I await the customary abuse.

Your right it is time to draw a line.

But the fact is we are not the team with the problem, Or the supporters who are bitter and twisted With a result that happened 40 years ago.

They won’t let it drop so why should we

Fuck the lot them

More like see if there is someone who doesn't give any abuse. This includes those born many years later. It has screwed their life up

I was at the game too and although there was a bit of an outcry at the time of the game, I can never remember any animosity at all over the intervening years until recently. I have watched us play Sunderland, who to their credit, always bring a good away following, lots of times at Highfield Road and the Ricoh and there has never been a murmur about the Bristol game. I think most of those harping on about it are probably too young to have been around in 1977. I also wonder if Bristol City are hated by these people as much as we are.

I think it makes me smile everytime I see their fans get so animated about us! Its similar to England v Scotland, this type of hate is bred into you by family

I too was there, although my memory regarding the whole evening is fading.

Draw a line under it? Lets face it, it's only the Sunderland fans (young and old) have an issue with what happened that night. Let them froth about it.

Don’t worry. Just inbred keyboard warriors giving it large. They have plenty of opportunities over the years to seek this so called revenge of theirs. Have they tried. ‘Have they BOLLOCKS’

I agree, I made a comment about him in a previous post, it was misguided, and I have retracted it. He isn't the sort of moron that wants to smash up our memorial garden.
He dealt with our hijacking of his poll with the wit it should have been, and took it in good grace.
Regardless I still enjoy the fact he had a little dig and a laugh at our relegation to league one several years ago, and now the shoe is on the other foot.

Hahaha....I bet its locked down....if its not, then lets do it. Although if its a stand down the side I feel it needs the full title. The "How Jimmy Hill would laugh out loud at Sunderland's bitterness" stand
