Well done Sunderland, dont get where ya's are for fuck all do ya. Bring on Derby day, get that wallet opened first
If somebody had said to me at the beginning of the season that they thought Sunderland would go up, I'd have laughed in their face. I've been proven wrong quite badly!! A well deserved promotion!
Cheers folks Good to see the old banters still there and you's aklowledge when pretty much a minor MIRACLE has been achieved From what MM had when he joined (worst team ever to grace premiership) to what he's got now...well...hats off to him Cant wait for Derby days!!!!!!
Fair1 m8,,when u look at what he started with and how much cash he has had 2play with you could cal it a miracle Still gonna have to put £20 on them to go straight back down like!!!!!
wasted money mate we wont go straight back down. 6 points of you, 6 points off smoggies....sets us on our way
Ain't that the truth. I went to the majority of the games the season they got relegated. As a Newcastle fan I probably shouldn't be admitting it, but what the hey. There just seemed to be a total lack of passion then, and a lot of players who weren't giving anywhere close to 100%. Haven't been to as many games this season, but the few I've been to...they've been a completely different team. I can remember times when they used to fall to bits after going 1-0 down, whereas this season I've seen them battle back to take something away from the game. All credit to Mick McCarthy as he's brought in some very decent young players with next to no money.
spot on mate! that season in the prem was a JOKE - as u say no1 was interested....waste of time...no spirit, no belief, no passion...nothing!!!! whata differencenow tho!!! as u say - we went 1 behind a while ago..heads wud drop, and we'd loose...now...we want the points more and we battle and most of the time turn it around and win it!! a lot better to watch!!! BUT.....i think every1 knows we MUST strengthen for next season or we'll be right back down!
Exactly! If anyone thinks for one minute that they could survive in the premier league with the squad they have, then they're a fool. I'm not suggesting major changes, but I'd reckon 3/4 quality signings are a must. Rumours were abound of Phillips re-joining the other week. Its a possibility, especially with the shit Southampton are in at present. John Stead's name has been mentioned again too...
Yup we need to basically invest the £20million we get from sky - straight into the team!!! Phillips wud be a good signing i think personally...not long term, but he cud help do a job to get us settled! John stead is mentioned all the time yeah....not too sure...cant make me mind up!
Al let ya off Think so.......................... :spangled:......... Actually it must have been, My dad said i was asleep on the floor outside his room using a coat for a blanket
no sorry mate dont agree with that, we cant invest all the money we get from going up. we need some of the money to pay of debt and get the club back on a secure financial footing. obviously we have to strengthen the squad but we cant spend all of the money on players because the same will happen aas last time, spend moeny on players, get relagated n then sell the players at a reduced cost
