Been a wee while since I posted and the cup final euphoria seems a lifetime away now to me. Defeat on Monday to an ordinary West Ham team was a bitter, tough pill to swallow for me and I think spelled the beginning of the end. The team selection and formation also was the first indication that Gus is now desperately searching for answers he cant find, rather than choosing wisely and picking our attacking players he us retreating into his shell, desperate not to concede rather than wantingbti win matches. I don't see us getting more than another 6 points between now and the last game and although its not mathematically assured, I think we all know its almost over. We simply had to beat WH at home. We didn't even draw. What happens now is anyones guess and I read worrying articles where Gus seems to be manouvering towards an exit too in recent days. Would his head be turned by another EPL job? Our finances too seem precarious and unless Short guarantees our debts, relegation might prove callamatous. We all went to Wembley a little over 4 weeks ago dreaming of glory and Europe. We now face an April and May of depressed realism that our longest post war stay in the top flight since our first relegation in the late 50's is almost over. Do I believe in miracles? Of course I do but when I look at our run in its obvious the miracle would have to mirror the first coming of the lord himself to save us. I want and hope for that miracle but that fat lady is looming large in the corner of my eye and she us desperate to burst into song. Its never easy being a Sunderland fan but let's all give it one last effort and pray for that miracle together.
It always been the hope that kills Cest.....that's the joy of being a Sunderland fan. I agree with all your comments mate, I really fear the worst over the next few years, but you never know.
Good seeing you post again Cest For me, West Ham was the final nail in the coffin. The other nails were put in by our earlier home games against the likes of Hull, Palace, Villa, Fulham etc. Our home form is the worst in the league and the truth is, we have been one of the worst three in the league and that's why we are down there.
Who would have thought we would go down in a season we complete the derby double, beat Man City again, win at Everton, FA Cup quarter finals and a League cup final!!
I can't believe it has come to this.we had a team of players capable of performing in this league.what the hell has happened it's not good enough. This pile of ****e has to be sorted out who when and why ????.the players and manager are well payed.they must be held accountable. We have a fantastic support from the crowd. They do not deserve all this.we will loose supporters by the thousand.im really not a happy man at the moment and feel let down big style.far to many false dawns I really don't know what to do now.WE WILL START AGAIN SHALL WE.
I'm pretty friendly with Walter Uriah Morton Smythe, the fat lady's voice coach. He was telling me she's sounding better than ever.
It's not looking great Billy, keep the faith. Norwich have got a he'll of a run in which could give you lads a bit of a lifeline.
This made me laugh mate. You know what, if we stay up, I'll join you in the **** eating. Make it a fan bonding day...
