Sunderland
 
Gents,

Thought you lot had a quality little side?

Bruce that bad?

It was for once a genuine question - Sunderland have been alright (alreeet) in recent seasons but are having a stinker so far.....and we're a few games in now. Who would replace Bruce? Usual list would be banded around.

So, that being said, Newcastle stole a point last night, penalty decision was appalling but hey, Man Utd deserve shit like that in my mind. Newcastle are doing bloody well though, few injuries could ruin that run you think?

I think Bruce is doing a terrific job and should be kept at the stadium of shoite for as long as possible.







But being a Toon Fan....

Genuine question, but what would Sunderland fans consider as been underachieving/achieving/overachieving?

As an outsider looking in, I'd have thought staying up would be a reasonable achievement, top 10 finish would be good and euro-qualification would get Bruce the key to the city??

beating fulham or wigan at home would be a start

bookies have suspended betting on the next manager to be sacked btw

Press conference this morning at the club 11.00am . Rumour is that Bruce has got the bulllet but they gave it 24 hrs grace because of the death of Gary Speed.

Could still be a rumour though

Martin O'Neil is odds on favorite , to me we just need a change , all managers are much the same , Bruce , Mcleish , Hughes , Moyes and so on .

Footballs fu**ed

Same question that i asked of you lot last year and you ended up with Pardew and he's done a great job , so the process and theory don't add up . No one give Pardew 6 months and look what has happened.

You just never know . Bruce is stale and formulated and has just hit the wall.
To be honest the club has a lot to answer for as well because you just cannot let your best strikers leave and not replace them , not in the premier league that's for sure.

When your seasons fu**ed before you've got the Christmas decorations up you know it's time for change !

Keep The Faith !

to be honest I don't care, what's the point of fannying about with the also rans in the premier league where survival is seen as success. We're only there to see what goal difference the big boys accrue against us

if I was at home I'd be watching non league
