How can things become so shite so quickly?
At the end of last season we relegated the filth and pulled off another relegation swerve. We'd brought in some superb signings who slotted straight into the team, the squad as a whole seemed to be playing as a team and the football was a massive improvement on some of the dross that was being served up previously. We'd come into some coin thanks to Sky money, had a manager who seemed to be loving the fans and the challenge and most were looking forward to strengthening the squad so mid table mediocrity could be achieved by March/April next year.
Now I find myself (and I'm sure from reading on here I'm not the only one) skimming through threads telling me we've got Steve Bruce as bookies favourite (must be his mates in the media bigging this up shirley) to take over from BSA whose been poached by the FA, no one apparently is signing for us, rumours abound we've not got the money to sign loanees who apparently want to be here and the Club is sitting with its thumb up its arse waiting to see what's happening.
I know football is a (very) fickle mistress, even more so when you're a MLF, but this is taking the piss. Can we not sacrifice some mags off Wearmouth bridge or make burnt offerings of some smoggs on Roker Pier to appease the gods of football. The rumoured curse around our club appears to be still going strong.
