Yes the title says it all, Iâm setting myself up to be slated but all this realism is getting me down, a bit like the momentum with the Bruce saga we seem to have a momentum on here on how depressed we can make ourselves. Yes I know, things could be better, if only we could have a 4-4-2 with players in their proper places and yes we sit one place of the bottom 3, things could certainly be a lot better. If we win on Saturday we could be 11th, beat Villa and who knows and yes I can also hear, but we wont win, realism, maybe but after years of following Sunderland the one thing I know is to much realism can be bad for your health. Realism is also the fact that we can have endless threads on Bruce did this, Bruce is that and all we do is depress each other even more. Realism tells me that today, just like yesterday Bruce is manager and will take training and select Saturdays team. Realism tells me that no matter how down we all get we will still be Sunderland supporters and on Saturday most of us will be tuned in to whatever we can get to watch or listen to our team. Realism tells me that if we lose I will be down, why start being down and spoiling a good week now, we may actually win. Supporting Sunderland has always been fun but rarely been easy, we are again in one of those more testing times that life of a Sunderland fan throws up but like the many times before we can do little more than hope. Over the past few weeks these boards have become a sanctuary for the near suicidal and I hold my hands up and say yes, I have been one but suicide has never been a way out for me. Through the many lows life has thrown up I can only think of one fleeting moment, many years ago when steering my car towards a motorway bridge seemed an easy option, fortunately it was never a realistic option. A sad fact of life is that when you sign up to follow a football team, especially a northeast football team, a repeat prescription of a good tranquilliser is always advisable. Please spare me the repeat of yes but he must go, he is a clown, face facts, heard it all and I understand, my point is simple, no matter how many times we say it we only achieve one thing, to send ourselves deeper into depression. One person will decide Bruces future and to the best of my knowledge he is not a member of this forum so by repeating the message of Bruce out serves no purpose to me. A few weeks ago it may have made us feel better to say it, get it out of our system but now it only adds to the pain, well it does for me. Lets get some fun and laughter back on here, Saturday will come and go, lets at least enjoy Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. OK.slate away but try and find an original slate.
A woman woke up and told her husband of about her last night's dream. "I was at an auction for dicks. The big ones sold for £1,000 and the tiny ones for £10." The husband says, "What about one my size?" His wife responds, "Didn't get a bid," and then laughs to herself. The husband wants revenge, so the next morning he tells his wife about his dream last night. "I was at an auction for vaginas. The really tight one's sold for £1,000 and the loose ones for £10." His wife says, "What about ones like mine?" The husband smiles and says, "That's where they held the auction."
I totally agree Syd - what we need is some POSITIVE MENTAL ATTITUDE. I hardly contribute these days, coz all the negativity is doing my head in - AND it gets us NO-WHERE. I am sure the players are still behind Bruce, and we just need a wee bit of luck, and a few tweaks here and there. Syd, I agree that ES will probably not be a member on here, but I bet a few of the players take a read from time to time - and this negativity is bound to rub off. So come on - lets have a bit of positivity round the place - we have some good players - lets give them our 100% support and let ES do the hiring and firing. Believe me, ES will know when its the right time to pull the trigger. Bart PS - Whilst I am not a 100% BiB, I hope he sticks it right up the lot of ya and is a total success - coz all I want is for us to win a few games and the place will take off. PPS - MON - f**king hope not!!! His style is even more negative that SB and FSA
Reminds me of a Chubby Brown joke:- Husband to wife - "Mind ya fannys big, isn't it....isn't it....isn't it?" Wife - "Theres no need to repeat yersel" Husband - "I wasn't, it was the f**king echo!!!!" Bart I'll get me coat....................
What we need right now is a performance, and result, to be proud of...Anyone who has been on here for any length of time will know that I always look for positives regarding SAFC. However, Bruce's negative team selections tells me that he is a man running scared at the minute, and he needs to show some balls and go for it with a more attacking team selection and attitude...
I cant help feel that the smiles and the fun wont be back at the SOL until the manager either resigns, is sacked or goes on a run of 6 or 7 wins in the next 9 or 10 games. If I even remotely thought that was within our grasp I'd be very happy. Sadly it isnt under this manager as we will again be served the same negative boring tripe we have been fed for some months now. When Bruce has been replaced and the football again has some purpose, I'll smile again I'm sure but I'm sorry, I find precious little to smile about these days (football wise anyway) and I am not looking forward to this weekend at all.
Bobby we have been saying that for too long now. He had to go for it v Brighton, WBA, Norwich and Swansea but totally ****ed it up with this nonesensical1 up front and Sess is a striker horseshit. He can’t change it now as it will open up the accusation that he got it wrong and the self indulgent twat won’t admit to that to us. I'm afraid after the poor run of results since January, the transfer bungles over Bent and Gyan and now the having a go at the fans for not being happy with the **** he turns out week after week, have made our position an us and him scenario for the majority and that’s only going to worsen imo. Its buggered mate and Bruce hasn’t got a clue how to put it right.
IF we go into this very dangerous match that can potentially drag us into the bottom 3 without firepower on the pitch for the whole 90 minutes, I will give up. Ricco behind Bentdner and Ji (or Whickham - I'n not fussed). If we'd started this season as we all expected, we would have been going there attack minded. If we don't, he deserves all he gets BUT WE DON'T!!!!!!!!!!!!!! x
I tried to get a book out from the library about how to commit suicide. The librarian said **** off you won't bring it back!
