    Fine with that. I just want to see that we are back on it. Away performances like Burnley, Luton, Boro and the like. That's what I want from Friday, even if we lose. I want to see something from this team

    Dunno if you listen to the podcasts, but Graham Falk said something a few weeks back that really resonated with me:

    "I don't fear anyone.....I only fear Sunderland"

    We are absolutely capable of beating anyone on our day, but we are also more than capable of beating ourselves up in a way that no other club seems to.

    I’ve just watched a video that’s done the worst teams for fans leaving early in the PL with 20 being the best fans and 1 being the worst. Sunderland were 16th. Ironically Newcastle were 5th even though they love to try and take the piss out of us for doing it. I’ve no idea where the lad has got the data from though does anyone know? He reckons it’s data driven

    Up to now I haven’t noticed anyone leaving early. The team deserves the atmosphere we’ve got at the moment as well. Long may it continue.

    Absolutely mate. Paid off already especially the late goals against Brentford and then chasing the game against Villa. Much easier for the captain to rally the team when he’s got 40k+ screaming fans behind him. I really think a more expansive metro link from Sunderland back through to the likes of Washington/Chester Le Street would improve things especially for those late kick offs when there’s no busses back.

    100% it would help, in this day and age it’s bonkers that big places aren’t linked by better transport facilities.
