He will do the job. Someone else on here has already said how like Clough he is. Well. Keane was close. this guy in my humblre opinion is the nearest! SAFC and Clough was the perfect marriage that never happened. This is the next best thing in my mind. I'm starting to relax again! x
I'm sorry mate but you made a rod for your own back pulling someone on their grammar on a damn fine read. Then not to expect it back when people notice your mistakes is rather naive.
Now now. Don't be to hard on Bob. In today's world of Football chairman he didn't have a relative pot to piss in, yet he gave us the SOL. Without the SOL, we wouldn't be celebrating tonight.
Mate. I loved the place. Right down to the knackered Sunderland AFC sign out the front (why did they never fix it?) But we really had to go.
I'm still bitter about the guy who pissed up the back of my legs in the Fulwell End in 1976. We were packed so tight I couldn't get turned to batter him. (Your cards still marked mate if we cross paths. )
What toilets??? Everyone just pissed on the floor. Didn't they? I went in once...After that I found I could hold it. Even on the coldest days. Mind you, I once didn't **** for a week on scout camp. I mean, ****ting in a whole in the ground. Please.
Bob Murray brought us the best football we have seen at SAFC for a long time and that is what we ought to remember him for. Bob's mistake was to choke upon the fear of relegation, failing to back McCarthy with a reasonable budget. He also realised when his time was up and sold the club to the best owners in the league which then led to Ellis Short's appearance. Bob chiseled out the stonework which led to a very stable foundation, a foundation that creates the possibility for this club to fully realise its latent potential. His impact on this club must not be forgotton, although unfortunately some fans are unable to release themselves from the pain of those awful 1519 seasons. I'd say if anybody is unable to exercise themselves from those memories then they should focus upon the platform we have today. The realisation of the importance that Murray played in bringing us to where we are today is a genuine reason to bury the hatchet once and for all. Murray did his very best and all things considered, his influence bestowed more good than bad by quite some way.
I think they were one of the first 'wet rooms' in Sunderland. Mind you the flooding toilets in The Borough came a close second.
Pity the Borough was so far away from the Old 29, the wet shoes from there would have helped us not to have our shoes sticking to the floor in the 29. Used to walk out an inch taller with the muck and glass.
The Old 29... was very dangerous to DMs back in the day! I'm off out now but sadly most of the pubs I knew as a lad have become gentrified. Even the Ship Isis has just turned itself into a spinster's parlour.
