    Default Let the footy world understand our history...

    I think it's about time people remembered we are one of most successful clubs in english footy history & we need to start & show this to the footy world. The likes of chelsea have done fcuk all until the last 10 years. We have the passion, the support base & stadia to show we are a big club & it really pisses me off when the likes of wigan, bolton etc be-little us & even chelsea.

    Anymore too add please feel free....

    When have they belittled us?
    The past means nothing btw. It's the here and now that counts.

    All we need is a season in the Champions League for the pundits to start mentioning constantly that Sunderland is a great club with 6 titles on their belts and the world would take notice, like it did with Newcastle, Chelsea, Tottenham...

    SAFC 1 v Man City 0
    Arsenal 1 v SAFC 1
    Liverpool 2 v SAFC 2
    SAFC 0 v MANU 0
    SAFC 1 v Villa 0
    Spurs 1 v SAFC 1
    Chelsea 0 v SAFC 3
    SAFC 2 v Everton 2

    I get the OP's point

    One way of addressing it is to carry on with the HAWAY THE FLAGS.com and get as many flags as possible and put it in print so the world will see it everytime we are on TV

    I've voted & donated for with the banner with the years we have won stuff as I feel our history should be remembered & inspire the players to add to that list.

    Bolton for example that huge lancashire mancunian club.......a few years ago we were after big sam & to be fair bolton were doing well in the prem & we wanted sam as our manager & phil gartside slated us why would he want to come to safc etc at the time we were championship but quinny & drumville were in & had a vision. Now intially I see the guys point but we are a much bigger club than bolton fcukin wanderers & as for wigan there fans everytime we after there players they all say why would he go to sunderland etc...........because we are bigger!!!

    In other words 2 clubs who both have a far better recent history than us in terms of premiership tenure reminded us that 'in current terms' we had no reason as fans to believe we were bigger than them!
    I believe you're acting like a spoilt child. Respect is earnt and demonstrated by deeds past and present, not living on past glories.

    I understand where ya coming from but stone me mate, you last won the league in the 30's and apart from 73 your last trophy before that was in the 30's.
    I'm not saying we are any better btw
    Maakmaak said the past means nothing, i don't agree with that but you have to go over the last 20-30 years at least.

    Isn't that last part slightly contradictory. Have we not demonstrated by passed deeds that we have achieved something and are passed deeds not also past glories
