When Gus took over we were in a pretty hapless position. We had both feet, bar one little toe, in the relegation quicksand and looked like a lost cause. Players were all over the shop, dressing room revolt and disruption and 7 defeats from the opening 8 games left us trailing the world. Bottom 3 at Christmas had everyone still writing us off. However, we are not the pundits favourites for the drop now at all and a great run of form has seen us claw the deficit back and get us to a cup final in 4 weeks time. Incredible season and one that although by no means over (or safe) could turn out to be either legendary or totally gutting. I love supporting Sunderland me like.
Just got in from the match, sitting here with a cup of tea just staring at the league table! Kin bewdiful is that!
Had a £10 bet with a mate at Christmas that we would be out of the bottom 3 by the end of January. Then we lost to Villa and he wanted his tenner up front! Happy happy days!!!
