FrankieADZ Posted 9 August 2015 Posted 9 August 2015 But Rio said the squad was unhappy... i bet he's getting that info from Danny SImpson. its probably Simpson who's unhappy, but hes the one who's dug his own grave with what he did off the field tbf
Stan Posted 9 August 2015 Posted 9 August 2015 I noticed that Richard Keys was trying to stir things in Sport 360 yesterday by claiming he'd 'heard' about 'unrest' in the training camp. It's almost as if there's concerted media conspiracy to completely undermine Ranieri. Let's hope we push on from yesterday and make these pundits look like cretins.

Fox92 Posted 9 August 2015 Posted 9 August 2015 (edited) I hate Sunderland. I can't wait for the day that they finally get relegated back to their level. This is what I never understand. "Back to their level." ? You're talking about a club that has won the top flight six times, the FA Cup twice and the Charity Shield once. Edited 9 August 2015 by Fox92

Finnaldo Posted 9 August 2015 Posted 9 August 2015 If you were to actually meet a Sunderland fan in the street they seem a nice bunch. My theory is that they've locked all their knuckle-dragging nob-ends with an IQ lower than 50 in a room with only computers for entertainment. The result: that forum. I feel so bad for normal Sunderland fans to be represented by that lot on the Internet. Embarrassing.
RonnieTodger Posted 9 August 2015 Posted 9 August 2015 If that was at the Stadium of Light, their fans would've been at home by half time.
Fox92 Posted 9 August 2015 Posted 9 August 2015 Are we talking before or after Jesus mate? Just pointing the facts out. People come out with stuff like "back to their level" when they've won more than us. No team has a given right to play in any league, yes including us.
The Doctor Posted 9 August 2015 Posted 9 August 2015 This is what I never understand. "Back to their level." ? You're talking about a club that has won the top flight six times, the FA Cup twice and the Charity Shield once. Their titles were over a century ago, since the second world war their average position has been 21st, they're a yoyo team and have been for the best part of 70 years. Talking about their titles is like talking about prestons league and cup double to say they're a big side - they did it while Victoria was still on the throne
Samilktray Posted 9 August 2015 Posted 9 August 2015 (edited) Are we talking before or after Jesus mate? Someone tell Fox92 it's now the year 2015. Edited 9 August 2015 by Samilktray
EnglishOxide Posted 9 August 2015 Posted 9 August 2015 Anybody else get wound up by the MOTD commentator last night? He kept calling the stadium the KP stadium. He even went one further and called it the K Power stadium Just call it the King Power stadium like everyone else you nob!

The Doctor Posted 9 August 2015 Posted 9 August 2015 So is every other club apart from Liverpool, Manchester United, Everton, Chelsea, Aston Villa, Tottenham and Arsenal. Well not really, teams like Newcastle don't tend to just bounce between the two divisions - the point is their average position since football resumed post-war is 21st (ours is 22nd); they, like us, are overacheiving every time they stay up in the premiership. Their titles back when Queen Elizabeth was just a twinkle in her dads scrotum are practically irrelevant now, because it's 2015, not 1915.
Fox92 Posted 9 August 2015 Posted 9 August 2015 Someone tell Fox92 it's now the year 2015. Someone tell me quick, so I can forget about that little thing called history.
The Doctor Posted 9 August 2015 Posted 9 August 2015 There's a point where a clubs history becomes irrelevant to their modern day stature. You'd have more credibility if you were claiming Hungary were the best side in the world because of Puskas. 1

Except the club itself, which calls it "King Power Stadium", going to incredible lengths to avoid using the word "the" before it.
ScouseFox Posted 9 August 2015 Posted 9 August 2015 Except the club itself, which calls it "King Power Stadium", going to incredible lengths to avoid using the word "the" before it. yeah cause it's called king power stadium not the king power stadium

With regards to clubs success pre war and post war - Sheffield Wednesday are a prime example. They are 28th. Coventry on the other hand are 15th...

With regards to clubs success pre war and post war - Sheffield Wednesday are a prime example. They are 28th. Coventry on the other hand are 15th... Last fifty years though, so that's from the sixties, I was going from the forties: both of us were div two for a fair bit of the fifties. The point remains that they, like is, are relegation battlers and survival is a good achievement for both - their titles are irrelevant these days.
Matt Posted 9 August 2015 Posted 9 August 2015 Can we rename this the 'Sunderland forum' thread please?
Fez of Mahrez Posted 9 August 2015 Posted 9 August 2015 Except the club itself, which calls it "King Power Stadium", going to incredible lengths to avoid using the word "the" before it. Out of interest, what incredible lengths do they go to?
Bilo Posted 9 August 2015 Posted 9 August 2015 I was about to say that this is probably the most notice anybody has taken of Sunderland outside of the North East for a few decades.
Rasmic123 Posted 9 August 2015 Posted 9 August 2015 just seen some of these pundit's predictions and i'm amazed how many have got us to be relegated. Can think of about 7 or 8 teams more likely
Fox92 Posted 9 August 2015 Posted 9 August 2015 just seen some of these pundit's predictions and i'm amazed how many have got us to be relegated. Can think of about 7 or 8 teams more likely Just seems the fashion with them all because of our new appointment. No way are Norwich, Bournemouth and Watford better than us, for starters.
