They've got some very strange supporters, assume they win the game in hand they're 1 point off the automatic promotion spots. Imagine wanting to throw a game when you're 1 point away No wonder they've been crap for a few years when they've got people like they have on that forum following them. (Not all of them mind, some seem to be shooting these idiots down)
Weird. Although to be fair to them Sunderland haven’t seen us anywhere near our best in our games against them this season
This is my kind of Sunderland fan. I heartily endorse the following approach: "Yesterday's results have however restored a certain degree of clarity to Saturday - it's just about spoiling Portsmouth's promotion run. There's a petty minded vindictiveness to that which appeals to me." Into them, ye famous Black Cats! <3
A few level headed posters on their forum but when Peterborough equalised it was absolutely comedy gold. You can have a big fanbase a big modern stadium but if your team dont reflect this then you are just another league 1 club playing in tidy surroundings, I love seeing the Marra's melting down, they go from "we will go up" to " let's throw the Pompey game " all in the space of a few minutes.
And to think they complain about Jimmy Hill all those years ago for supposedly costing them promotion if we don't go up in 2nd id love to beat the deluded fans at Wembley! Not that theyll be there cos they're all spent up from losing the last time!
Very unlikely we’d play them in the semis, would be nice to do em at Wembley though. Or even better, us go up automatically and watch Pompey do em again.
Given their woeful record against Pompey, there's every chance they won't have to throw the game. They'll do well to get a draw anyway. Anyone thinking that meeting us in the playoffs would be the easy option needs to reconsider. Only Dougal missing. Moores back, Woodrows on fire and the midfield is chipping in. 9 goals scored in last 3 games.
It’s exactly the same blend of rational thinkers, conspiracy theorists, perennial moaners and complete fruitbats as we have on here. Except in bigger portions. There’s thousands of ‘em. The traffic on that site is unbelievable.
That's what annoys me about some of their fans. They have no idea what other teams in league 1 are like. They think Donny a doddle but they have performed very well against other teams. And they thought Plymouth had nothing to play for.
During the run up to our home game with them, some were basing their expectations on a good 20 minute spell they had in the reverse fixture. Similar with Donny. Everything seems to revolve around how well they played against us both times, and based on that they'd fancy us in the playoffs.
True it's only on same on here after the Burton game according to some on here, we had no chance of automatic, we would get hammered in the play offs, we need experience, stendel should go if we don't go up I could go on but can't be arsed there was a real over reaction after that game 3 games and 3 wins later it's looking alot better but if we lose Saturday the usual suspects will be back.
