In the area I grew up in, Monkwearmouth, get was a derogatory swear word, and git was an abbreviation, or slang, for great, as in git big feet, nose etc.
Originally Whitley Bay (well Monkseaton), but also grew up near Ryton. So coastal in part. I moved away almost 2 decades ago now so I'm hazy on the details but in my memory the distinction was in both areas. Probably wrong though, not the sort of thing I kept copious notes on. I was at Uni before I realised that "telt" isn't actually a word anywhere else in the country.
Must admit I have stuck by Grayson but he is making Mac look like Pep Guardiola he'd won 5 games by now
I think people are underestimating the damage done by our lengthy and crushingly depressing humiliation under Moyes. We started this season at absolute rock bottom and it was always going to take time. The players had zero confidence, the fans either stopped giving a **** or went to matches to boo. I think we're improving in every aspect albeit slowly.
I would like to think with the very slow steady progress we are making the match against Bristol should be the turning point and should be our first win if we get beat off them **** knows where we are going.
It would be a kick in the balls for sure but they are a better team than us (currently) so it could happen. I reckon we'll beat them though.
3 games unbeaten and scoring goals, don't get me wrong it's still ****e and nothing to brag about but it does suggest an improvement of sorts.
Its gotta improve. I honestly think Larry is a clueless gimp. But this team is better than results so far. Despite the useless managers best efforts to prove us wrong.
I'm still undecided about him. He's no tactical genius which leads to questionable subs and our defence concedes too many but I generally agree with his line ups and we're scoring goals. He seems aware of the problems in the team and doesn't have his head in the sand but whether he can fix them is something else.
He's a poor manager(average in this league) who if given time will slowly turn us into a bang average Championship side on next to nowt over a couple of years. Get what you pay for.
Every aspect except the boo boys you’re probably right. They still go and get straight on the teams back when things aren’t working.
I think the Bristol game is pivotal for Grayson. I heard a stat the he (personally) has won one game in the last 18, going back to last season. If we lose to Bristol then for me its goodbye. This club cannot drift into league one like we are doing right now. I support any manager or player of this club, but he making it hard to give him any support at all right now.
Never saw the game but even if I make allowance for a possible bias on your part it should have still been a 3-2 win to Sunderland
Dead right as before he came we were in a hell of a mess and the players appeared unmotivated and shell shocked_ not surprising with our apathetic negative manager. So came in and immediately changed perceptions and g'eed most here (players and fans) He's now experiencing the whole Sunderland (lack of) luck - if it's unexpected it'll happen. But I am certain that he'll get his players, all bought on a shoestring, playing championship style football. Be physical and be streetwise and con the ref if need be (I don't condone the last bit but that's what championship clubs do). SG knows this league and the players need to adopt the championship style. 3 game unbeaten run now .... max points needed in our next 2 games and then Boro,
