    I read more than I contribute here, but just read an interesting article in 'the echo'.

    I see pros and cons in both the half full and half empty glass supporters - though I lean to the half full side and must be classed as an optimist at the start of every season. However Mr. David Preece really hit a nerve when he wrote:-

    I’ve asked myself whether he has began to regret letting the emotion of the Arsenal game cloud his judgment in assessing the size of the job at hand, but if I trusted him to keep Sunderland safe last season, I sure as hell believe he would never have undertaken the decision to stay if he thought the team would struggle again.

    This is why as Sunderland fans, optimism should be rife.

    If someone of Advocaat’s stature and experience believes in better then so should we. This is the manager the club has been crying out for for years and, without naming and denigrating other managers that were linked with the job, I can’t imagine looking forward to this season as much as I am now if any of them were in charge.

    We have to trust the manager because Dick trusts himself enough to delay the rest of his life for us.


    I believe this sums up my optimism for this season :)

    The whole article:-

    Bang out of order this mind! How dare you come on here and post a ****ing good starter!!

    If you don't start posting more on here I'm gonna ask, nay, insist, on you being barred!!!

    You're an optimist mate! Read AND post! We are few and far between (okay that's an exaggeration but you get my gist!)

    I really believe that Old Eggnog is going to sort out the off-field problems as much as the on-field issues. It's this experience of running a club that Ellis hasn't had the last few years.

    That's why I'm so optomistic.

    Good post mate. Don't stop!

    Thanks for the kind words B M, my problem is I'm usually reading 'history'
    But I must say I get immense pleasure reading the football related input here. :emoticon-0102-bigsm

    If you're not in the SAS, or SBS, or MI6, or off-grid then I'm pretty sure you can keep up-to-speed!

    Get involved mate, the psychotic bar is set a little too high around here <laugh><laugh>
