I'd honestly be staggered if we beat Portsmouth.

 

I just think we'll collapse now (If we haven't already).

 

I think we'll lose to Portsmouth and Hull. I then think they'll beat Milwall and Blackburn when the pressure is off. Exactly like last season.

Feels a bit like Spurs in 2016 after the title was mathematically sorted. They kept pace with us for a few weeks (not closing the gap but keeping up) as we have done with the relegation rivals. 
 

We beat Swansea at home convincingly and they slipped up against West Brom. After that, they fell apart and that weekend was pivotal. It feels like last weekend was that for us. We lost (ironically at home to Swansea) and the others won.

As a Sunderland fan, I have every sympathy. However unlikely survival looks, hopefully you do it.

 

To the fans that 'want a reset', be careful what you wish for. That is exactly how I felt. 4 seasons later and I was still turning up to watch dogshit turgid football.

 

The memory is still fresh and I still can't believe some of the players that were given the chance to wear the red and white stripes. All but a few were complete dog mince.

 

2018-19 - finishing 5th, losing to Charlton in the PO final (for the second time) and our top scorer Josh Maja being sold cos we didn't have a pot to piss in.

2019-20 - finishing 8th. The lowest finish in the clubs history and the darkest of days for the club. Top scorer that season with the lofty heights of 11 goals? Lynden Gooch.

2020-21 - Finishing 4th and losing the PO semi final to Lincoln City with Charlie Wyke scoring 26 goals and being poached by Wigan ****ing Athletic for £10k a week cos we didn't have a pot to piss in.

2021-22 - Finishing 5th but finally promoted via the play offs. Ross Stewart scoring 26 goals and sold to Southampton cos we didn't have a pot to piss in. Also lost 0-6 to Bolton that season.

 

Highest attendance in league one - 46,039. A boring 1-0 win against Bradford City on Boxing day.

Average attendance in league one - around 31,000.

 

Not one attendance really mattered as we still played shite. We were treat like a cup final, as Leicester would be. A scalp. I lost count of how many teams played out of their skin to get a result against us, to then go and lose their next game cos they were knackered. At risk of sounding like a prat, we were the biggest club in league one and we didn't half feel it but in a negative way.

 

Managed by Jack Ross, Phil Parkinson, Lee Johnson, Alex Neil.

 

Honourable mentions to the following:

Lee Johnson having a social media burner account to have a dig at the ownership, Defoe coming back for 5 games before deciding he couldn't be arsed with league one and cancelling his contract, Netflix documentaries for the world to see us at our lowest. Owner calling us thick northerners (fair enough), another owner claiming a Sunderland fan kidnapped his daughter. Alex Neil going to watch a Stoke game hours before he was supposed to manage one of our games. Opposition players that supported Newcastle always scoring against us and doing the Shearer celebration. Having to play Newcastle U21's in pizza cup. A first Wembley win in donkeys years but in front of zero fans because of Covid.

 

50% of what I mentioned above happened after our greatest rivals became the richest club in the world.

 

It was a dark, exhausting, long 5 years and if you do go down, hopefully you bounce straight back up. If those so called championship players don't bounce back and start to leave, it could get messy. And don't forgot, Sunderland didn't even have a PL title win, no cup for about 55 years and zero European football in most fans' lifetimes to look back on fondly.

 

Best of luck for the future.

This is spot on...

 

'Hard to see how Owls benefit from administration' -

 

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cgk0pzm8mkmo

 

The final paragraph is absolutely damning.

 

You've got a former owner who has taken a club to the brink and the people trying to keep it alive face the prospect of starting on the back foot, purely for not fully compensating what the EFL says Chansiri is owed to avoid a points deduction.

So it sounds like the new owners could have had the choice to pay more than they felt the club was worth to ensure Chansiri is repaid to the required value but have not done so and effectively accepted the 15 point deduction than do this. Even if their motive is purely not to overpay what they believe the value is for the club, rather than out of principle against Chansiri, I think the fans will actually be supportive of this.

It’s a bit shit that Coventry fans will have the night of their lives tonight at Blackburn, whereas in two weeks we’ll be there watching Championship football for possibly the last time in a long time.

I  didn't realise that Blackburn had already played 43 games before tonight.

 

MASSIVE IF but if we win 2 out of 3 it's a final showdown with Blackburn can't see them getting anything from today or Sheff Utd

4 years after being in a Euro semi at Roma we found ourselves hoping that Cov beat Blackburn to slightly increase our very slim hopes of not getting relegated from the Championship. WTAF.

Not sure it's worth cheering for Cov just for the sake of false hope, don't do it to yourselves.

 

Blackburn don't look like a team who are going to lose both games before they face us. At the very least they're getting something from Sheff Utd.

They don't look very good either even 2 draws would take it to the last day if we manage to get 2 wins out of 3 again massively unlikely
