Even if im wrong on all accounts id rather be optimistic than depressive and im still proud to follow sunderland! HAWAY THE LADS
Being positive...How dare you......You do realise you will be branded mental and unrealistic by some for not being negative..
Nice to see someone with a positive outlook rather than doom and gloom!! As an outsider looking in on the Everton v Wigan game at the weekend it showed the effect a hostile crowd can have when they turn on their own side. Everton, whilst not setting the world alight, were fine and comfortable on the ball in the first 28 minutes or so. Wigan got 3 quickfire goals and the crowd turned - and you could see it visibly affect (infect?) the players. If we go into Sunday with a crowd of 37000 like you SKORI then I honestly think we'll win - but the issue is that a lot of our games are STARTING with the crowd alreaady hostile and the players feel it. Love positivity
The way I am looking at the fixtures now we will probably only get up to 39 points and that's if we beat Norwich, do you think that will be enough?
Mentioned this the other day, I think sky have done us a huge favour. There'll be a lower crowd but one that is behind the team. The 5,000 boo boys will be at home watching on the telly
That's optimistic! I honestly think we will get about another 4 or 5 points and then it will come down to luck and maybe even goal difference.
This! Too many times this season has our first misplaced pass in a game been greeted with jeers and moaning. I think we may have cocked up by moving the away fans as there seems to be very little bante and no one to vent our emtions against and the players seem to be the easy target for some
I'm not buying this its the fans fault bollocks at all. The fans started this campaign in full support, home and away but have been massively let down almost from game one. Our season has never got going and we now find ourselves in a relegation scrap for our lives. The players deserve to feel the anger from the terraces as they have been extremely well paid bags of ****e for 75% of the season. This was a season that promised much and has delivered **** all. Yet another one offering **** all to add to the 30 or so I've suffered in the part 4 decades. You'll forgive me if I feel no sympathy for them now. They ought to roll up their sleeves and show some ****ing backbone for once and earn our praise, instead of demanding it before they do. I've given them the best days of my life for a **** all return so far. Time for some well earned pay back starting Sunday. Set of self pitying twats the lot of them.
Im not blaming the fans cest i just think at this time we need to pull together the players and staff included and get us safe and as fans the best we can do is be positive and sing our hearts out
If we stay up, I can't see how we'll be any weaker next season. We might not improve, but I don't see how we would get any weaker. As for blaming the fans, there have been one certain poster playing this tune for sometime. It seems to be finally coming to a head. The irony in it is that he blames the crowd for being crap and blaming the players. So he blames the fans, yeah, that'll get them 'back' on side. A bit of infighting is always productive.
Cest I don't blame the "fans" - I partially blame the negative fans but the players must stand up and be counted - booing a player or team whilst the game is on is never positive - I have never seen a team win a game because the fans started booing them! But I have seen a team win a game with pure will from the crowd - it renews players belief when the crowd are behind them. How would we all feel if we were constantly being told by people who don;t do our jobs that we are ****e at our jobs?? Never a good thing! Hopoe we have a massive positive outpouring from the crowd at the weekend - just can't see it Positivity breeds positivity - but negativity breeds negativity
