You no me billy if I step the line I will say sorry and I respect you boys you have been posting on here longer than me , plus did not no he was your mate he just started having digs at me and I'm not just going to take that but it's finished ok
I have no intention of renewing at he moment. This from a man who has spent 4 years out of the country and renewed every one of them, I didn't go yesterday, the first home league match missed through choice for around 14 years. I fear that I am not the only fan of my ilk, Cest's OP shows this in fact. If the club loses the hardcore, the club is ****ed. Is anyone at the club gonna do anything about it?
i've written my slip out today, sitting on the kitchen bench in its envelope. couldn't bring myself to send it today
Hope your keeping well Mush, The thing is, this relegation will hit us harder then any other because of the financial gain next seasons premier league club are set to pocket. This could really **** us and send us into the oblivion. I'm really down and disillusioned about the whole thing to be honest.
Howay lads? Bloody Hell, you must have seen worse that you're seeing at the moment? We're only two points ahead of you, there's three worse teams than us surely? I'm lost for words with what I'm reading here. Thought you fans were more loyal than this. FFS get a grip?
Bang out of order for what???? Begrudgingly I admit you've always had loyal fans. Everyone seems to be negative when I know you've seen far worse than you are this season.
reckon i spend £2k per season watching the lads, thats a family holiday ffs! and a good one! i'm picking and choosing from now on and taking my girls when the school tickets come up. and for the record i would have probably chosen to go yesterday as it was so crucial. A bit narrow minded and short sighted that mind hat
39 seasons without a single game in Europe; more relegation's than you've had hot dinners; more 2nd division games than top flight ones; 3rd division campaign; 2 record low points returns of 19 & 15 and enough ****e players to fill the whole of Wembley 4 times over. In the last 20 years your club has played several seasons in the Champions League and over 100 times in Europe as a total; finished runners up in the EPL and top 5 or 6 at least 6 or 7 times. You've had money and some of the very best players in the league and generally a far better media profile in that time. No club's fans have put up with more than us and yet still turned up in their 10's of 1000's. We must be one of the loyalist sets of fans in the whole world mate but there comes a time when you become exhausted of your passion and your hope, decade after decade of selfless support. I've seen it much worse of course I have but never under such a top quality manager; top owner; top stadium and top class facilities. If we can make a total **** up of this situation then I don't see how we will ever turn this club around. I take it as very much an insult to be labelled anything other than loyal but I'm just not blindly loyal anymore. I've had enough of defending the failures of 50 years without anything in return.
Good replies, C'est, I can understand your frustrations. We've had plenty of our own. Granted, we've had a few bright spots in the 40 odd years I've regularly been going to games, but, apart from the Inter Toto cup, the Texaco cup, and the Anglo Italian cup, I've seen us win **** all. If I go till my dying day without seeing us win anything, I wouldn't swap my "adventures" supporting Newcastle. I've swapped my job, houses, even my wife once, but never my team. It's my duty. Deep in your hearts, you know it's yours, even in these depressing days.
I will be a die hard Sunderland fan till the day I no longer breath air on this planet. That will never change. However, I am just not enjoying my football at the moment and its painful to see a manager you have both admired and coveted for so long struggle and become the target of the crowds dissatisfaction. As understandable as it may well be right now I truly believe he would get it right in time but thats a commodity in short supply these days and he wont survive a relegation for sure but even an escape could spell the end. I just cant see myself getting behind some total non-entity like Martinez should he be one of the possible replacements so will happily take a sabbatical. Should Short retain his faith in Martin and give him another year then I may well be tempted back for games next season but I wont go to see him abused.
