Coates was fantastic. Really stepped up after looking dodgy as hell. Might be worth the punt as he'll be cheep as chips.
And only faced 8 on target from those 50, because we limit opponents to long shots and we defend with our lives when the ball comes into the box. Defending with heart. We've also got a world class keeper. 13 clean sheets this season. 13.
Well done Sunderland, you deserve to stay up. We're paying the price for carrying too many passengers caused by our manager showing blind faith with his team selection. With a bit of luck (make that a lot) we'll see you next season.

You talking about Poyet or Bruce? We would have gone down under Poyet and that would be one of the reasons.

No reason why you can't be playing us next season. Shrug the nerves, get behind your team and you never know. All you lads can do is your best, right by yourselves. If Bruce and the team don't come through you can keep your heads held high. But getting behind them might just get them across the line. Good luck and send those Mags down. :)

What? That someinsular rugby fans hate the local football team doing well and support FC or Rovers and a football team from elsewhere but you can't find evidence of football fans doing the same?
Glad you agree.

You'd only have to read through some past posts on this board to find all the evidence you need.
 
He isnt world class. He's a good keeper, but Manuel Neuer he ain't.

Never said he was Manuel Neuer, he's beyond world class, there a few who are the perfect keeper, I'm not saying Pants is the perfect keeper. Pants is world class imo. The premiership is full of Worldclass keepers. All opinions init. Of keepers playing over 20 games, only two keepers have conceded less, Only 5 have more clean sheets(all from teams in the top half), Only 4 keepers have made more saves. Weather he's world class or not is debatable what isn't debatable is that he's had a world class season, He has been world class this season, beyond any doubt. He'll never be the best, his distribution isn't good enough.

Seen any cars with a City sticker next to one of a rugby club from another city? Seen any City forums where the person running it has a City and Leeds Rhinos badge as a signature with "The Pride Of Yorkshire" written underneath? Ever seen a City poster with the badge of a rugby club from another city alongside it?
Maybe you could answer the questions this time.

And once again the point eludes you.

I can think of one right away. We're playing ****ing Man U and we've never got a point off them.

Well it's a good job you're not playing them in the past isn't it? Honestly fella, if you lot can drop the pessimism and get behind your team you've got a chance. Turn up as fans with a defeated attitude then you don't have a chance in hell.

Its a shame that a Sunderland fan has to spell it out for some of our fans, a right **** of one anarl :emoticon-0140-rofl:.

Its almost as if people are trying to distance themself from failure/defeat. Ye i know its the players who cross the white line but ****ing hell it could be one of the greatest days in our history on Sunday. Get excited, think we're going to beat Man U. Get Waggy and Mally Lord on the pitch before the game. Get flags or those clapper things on the seats and make some noise.

Some seem to revel in the misery, City are **** etc etc its like their back in the comfort zone and cant stop talking about Div 4 n Dolan etc.
