last time I went to the stadium of light I had a fan tell me to get out of the home end and **** off down south, presumably because he heard I was cockney. We weren’t even playing a London side. I still get nervous around Sunderland fans since then. I’m nervous today. Such a sense of imposter syndrome which is so silly really
Speakman telling fans last night that's its actually still between two for the head coach role. Beale and one other. Sounds like his arse has dropped when confronted by fans and he's telling a porky or two
I know that feeling mate. Had it Tuesday night on the branch coach. There's me a committee member collecting the football card money and lad chirps up with "where you from?" When I answered Millfield the reply was "how come you talk like a cockney and support Sunderland then"
You've just been unlucky there mate. My cousin comes up quite a lot and has done for years. It's never happened to him, and he's not a withdrawn type!
That's sad that you feel nervous and wary in amongst our own fans. We have fans all over the country and the world, so you probably had the misfortune to bump into a few daft lads who had one too many. I left the North East when I was young, so have a Southern accent. I've never had any bother at all from our own fans.
Or it is still between 2, nothing has been announced by the club so we are all going with what we have heard/read online
Not sure what KLD and Speakmans decision making has to do with the previous 50 years? Unfair to put that at their door when all they've done since coming to the club is succeed.
People have taken bookies odds, forum rumours and misinformation as fact ... ... then criticised the club off the back of it. It's like when that pediatrician's house was attacked by an angry mob
Makes no sense. I hate it when people bring up decisions made by the club 10+ years ago as a way to bash the club in the present day when the decision makers are completely different. It's like losing today and blaming Dick Advocaat
