Tinmans Love Child Posted February 22, 2020 Report Share Posted February 22, 2020 Can’t wait for the “I spoke to a Sunderland fan after the game and they said we were the best away fans they’d ever had” comments later! 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least the Stadium of light is big enough to accommodate most of them today. Hopefully those that can’t get in are able to find a nice pub to keep warm in, because this wind must be bitter, in the car park up there today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blow jobs all round in Sunderland today between 2 sets of fans who know what it feels like to live in the shadow of much bigger rivals.

wendyredredrobin Posted February 22, 2020 Report Share Posted February 22, 2020 Sunderland have hated us ever since we rigged the Coventry game to get them relegated. Most exciting football experience I've ever had and one I will never forget. Better even than beating the Manure a couple of years back as it gave us another season in the top flight - Something that those dozy sags can still only dream of. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unan Posted February 22, 2020 Report Share Posted February 22, 2020 (edited) Thought he looked a decent player. Too good for Bristol rovers. He was very frustrated today, rightly so playing in a team like that. https://www.readytogo.net/smb/threads/jonson-clarke-harris.1506859/ Are you lads on crack?

This idea does annoy me bit, we had no hand in it. Cov May have suggested to delay KO as somewhere upwards of 15k were travelling from Bristol, we just got in for kick off havin got the later batch of coaches from the Gate. The Ref would have had to agree anyway, very handy for us, though nothing too untoward apart from actually putting the score up on the score board, which was nice. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit worrying though when we were all celebrating that they put up 'score correction' on the scoreboard and for a few seconds our hearts were in our mouths. Do you remember that?

We are the envy of a lot of clubs when we travel away in numbers like this 984 Sags there yesterday. 600 down on what they took last year. Funny how their away support suddenly drops when it’s a ground they’ve been to before isn’t it? They’re currently averaging just over 700 for away games this year. Absolutely NO ONE envy’s their very mediocre, unremarkable away support especially as they’ve only taken over 1k away twice this season and under 500 6 times (not including the 100 or so that travelled all the way to Plymouth in the Cup). Its nice that even after a woeful performance for us yesterday you can rely on deluded belters like these two to make you laugh.
