60 years of following SAFC Jane and all I want, is to see us where we belong, got a feeling Ross is the real deal, the problem is! how long can we keep him? and no. I'm embarrassed that we're playing in this division, we never should sink to this level, it's a credit to the fans that they still follow.

Im not quite 60 years but me dad is and more.
I’m 54 me dad 80 so sort of same ages.
I totally agree about where we are, I don’t think anyone would choose that. I agree I think Ross might be the person that sorts us. I have no idea how long we can keep him, wouldn’t it be class if he did a Fergie and stayed with us as a club getting better and better that made him want to stay.
Our fans are second to none. xx

That's my dream, Sunderland needs a Shankly, Busby, Ferguson or a Clough, someone that can build a club in their own image and take it where it belongs, then feel like they don't want to leave because this is the Empire they've built, not easy in this dog eat dog world, but I'd love to see that happen and Sunderland would be the perfect club for that fairy story.

When ever we sign a player, someone scours the internet to instantly discredit the player in some sort of attempt to suggest that we are a shit football club.

Well done mate.
You’ve never seen him play, he is trusted by our manager, but before he’s even had his picture in a scare and shirt, he is a shit player.

You should be proud.

Aww man, imagine, I agree we are perfect material if someone just gets it right.

Indeed, but quite a few 'ifs' there .

Personally, I can't believe some people would have the gall to call other people 'bedwetters' when we're at the lowest ebb in our history, league wise.

Here's the thing, football is like watching a soap opera, you get sucked in by watching the ups and downs of different characters week in and week out....I watched a bunch of lads play football up the fields in Redhouse a few years back, watched em every Sunday morning when walking the dog, didnt know em from Adam....Before long ended up asking if they were at home the following week as would walk dog at that time to give them a look...The football was shit but it sucked you in, just like a soap opera does.......

Football fans do not go to football to watch a successful team or great football, if they did then 95% of clubs would have no fans as the reality is that just like us, the mags and half the rest of "big" clubs we have won fuck all in decades. We go for the drama, to dream, to socialise with our mates and lets be honest to put ourselves through the emotional wringer and remind ourselves we are actually alive. Is there really that much difference between going away to Norwich in the Championship, Burnley in the Prem or Bolton in league 1? Be honest, is there shite?

This season for me is so much more exciting because we havent been out and spent £14 million on some unproven shit house from France, we havent bought another ageing centre half looking for one last payday at the end of his career cause his legs have gone.

This season we are going to have 3 to 5 academy players in our team every game........Gooch has looked superb so far, will Maja become fulfill his promise, is Honeyman really a Sunderland Captain? Most of all I cant wait to see how young Bali Mumba turns out; will we seriously have a 16 year old playing a central role in our first team, he apparently dominated again tonight? Imagine how class that would be for a local lad to become a massive part of a promotion push for the lads at 16 years old?

Watching the lads has been f***ing painful over many years now, the club has lost its soul and last year the one thing that virtually all fans on this board agreed on was that we hated the vast majority of toss pots stealing a living out of our club.......Whatever happens this season and wherever we finish it has to be better than the perpetual shit fest of the last 5 or 6 years......At last supporting the lads seems real again with normal lads turning out to bust a gut to get win for the red and white army. Somet magical is happening and I have to say I would not swap this season for another borefest relegation battle in the Prem with players like Rodwell, Kone, Ndong etc taking the piss out of us all...I genuinely believe this season will help this club reclaim its soul from mercenary players, parasite agents and the destructive influence of the Premier league.
