    Whilst I agree with the sentiment - think about it.

    Clubs decide to play on.

    Players immediately taken off furlough

    Clubs have to start paying them again (no government subsidising).

    Any business person with a financial brain will think "hang on, we curtail the season and the government pay up the full furlough amount. Otherwise we have to pay the players". This will save a few clubs from administration - but will also save a few dodgy owners (no names mentioned) a few thousand quid as well!

    Our owners are not rich. You will get little to no credit from SAFC fans as you are an awful footballing side. Possibly the worst I have seen at SAFC in my lifetime (81 was my first game).

    My word you are bitter. The worst team you have seen and we were top of the League having played every other team. Doesn't say much for some of the others. Still, at least you won't have to play Bolton again <whistle>

    There’s playing well and winning and playing like you did. It was awful to watch. You were the new version of Wimbledon from the 80’s. Only even worse to watch. I will give credit where it’s due and it’s not due. It worked. Absolutely (and I’d have swapped places with you too) but I’d hate watching football like that every week.

    Think about this, you were no better against others than you were against us. And we hammered you and had the deckchairs out fir 50 minutes. Just we had a strong ref who cottoned on to your cheating

    I wouldn't expect you to know this but we were short of several key players and didn't really stand a chance against a team as good as Sunderland. How about giving us Luke back
