Summer window

well, i am going to enjoy every game i can simply because that is what it is all about, will it just keep getting better or will it go 'the other way' and i want to believe this is just the start, a very early start showing us we can and need to keep improving and not the calm afore the storm.

there will be plenty of times to be less happy as we will lose games, others will win and league positions will change as was shown last season, think if we lost the last two we would have been 12th so quite a drastic difference but honestly, those people we keep hearing about (you know, those ones who will not return to the board until the next window/loss) that complain after a 5-0 win that it wont last, KLD has no money, no investment being made, they will sell any player that an offer comes in for, SD still pulling the strings and all the rest can be as unhappy as they like for me, i am just enjoying the moment.

 

Hopefully see a Rusyn scarf pic today(?). I hope they do interviews etc with Aouchiche and Pembele too (unless I've missed them?).

 

You haven't missed them. Only one they have out out is Burstow. Hopefully they put something out soon, its all abit to quiet after the buzz of the window.

 

I’m starting to get the shakes so hopefully some scarf pics or media this afternoon!

 

Tonight I’ll be seeing one of the most dour miserable bastard Sunderland supporters you’ve ever met, his narrative is that our owner is only here to buy young develope and sell for profit and the club aren’t interested in building a team, also because we scraped the playoffs last year that means we should go up automatically this season, I’ve not seen him since the Southampton game so can’t wait to see what he thought I’m sure he’ll find a lot of negatives to moan about.wish me luck folks

 

Is his name Geoff?

 

No m8 he’s a local businessman so I won’t say his name but he would honestly twist on 21

 

Sad to know there are two of them infesting our general optimism!

 

I've met a few like that. And seen them at the game.

It really isn't good for them going. They seem very unhappy whatever the outcome and it's probably affecting their health.

Even at the moment, when there is a good young side to watch with no slackers or arseholes, I can see at the match one bloke in particular who moans all the time, starting within the first minute.

Weird man. They should go to the garden centre or church!

 

The fact that the bookies have Ipswich as 4th favourites to go up, with us just outside the top six, gives me hope that we can at least match what we achieved last season. Ipswich were chasing their tails for most of the game against us and all we lacked was a striker. We have that now and great strength in depth in all areas barring CM.

Would Ipswich cope with the level of injuries to key players that we had last season? I suspect not.

If it doesn`t work hopefully some clever sole can help!

 

My old fella is a bit like this. Very pessimistic before every match and only cheers up if we win. I reckon it's through years of false dawns and misery (he's 90), he is always expecting a kick in the bollox from SAFC.

 

He usually collects mate.

 

If he's ninety mind, he's earned the right to to say whatever he likes!

Good luck to him. Here's to another ten at least!

 

I was just pissing about, look to anyone who is bothered, I like KLD and I get on great with the man of mystery Juan.
They both dish out micky taking and take it back.
I hope they turn us into a monster again.

 

It's said lol in the 1st post mate

 

I agree with most of what you say. Have we progressed ? Aye? Are we light years ahead? Aye? Can Speakman be criticised ? Of course. He’s very obviously made errors. The possible new manager talks leaking, just because we got positive options up front doesn’t mean we were too limited at other points. I’d imagine they criticise themselves. It’s how you grow. I’m mostly positive with occasional gripes but I’d be gutted if they left but I’ll say it as I see it,

 

Talks ongoing about a new contract for Roberts
