*****Official Sunderland v Pompey Play Off 1st Leg Thread*****

[Bangkok Blackcat]

Fans forums are a real vipers nest.

Some folk only want to moan.

The St Mirren site, (sorry, it's address is Blackandwhitearmy.com), that I normally frequent is just the same (sadly).

Sadly this Sunderland forum is so typical of other sites that I have visited.

95% of posters are committed, loyal fans. And then there are those poxy, negative attention-seekers who delight in the misery that a poor run of results can impose on the loyal and faithful supporters.

It's depressing for the committed fans who are still bursting with positivity, even in difficult times, that there are "fans" who only stick their head above the parapet to spout negativity when things aren't as smooth as everyone had hoped. My club's site is just the same !!

Every fans forum I visit is dominated by doom-laden negativity from within, mainly due to a small, smug-faced contingent of tiny-penised attention-seekers who seem to get their kicks by wishing ill on the team they are supposed to support.

For the last umpteen months and more this site has been bombarded with negativity because Sunderland have been treading water against some supposedly lower-ranked opposition, yet despite the "incompetence" the team have still achieved the play-offs. And tonight's result is a significant step forwards in the quest for promotion. At this stage in the season results are more important than the quality of performance.

Don't let them bother you if someone wants to be a twat let them be one. It's no skin off your nose.

Ref awful

Good goal by Maguire, should have been on from the start instead of Honeyman, Gooch or Morgan

I want 09 in midfield and Matthew's full back

Also lots of sledging for the pony tailed whopsie on thursday

Hope to feck we don't start him in away leg. Offers very little upfront and nowt defensively.



They weren't as dominant as we were in 1st half.



"we never even tried" - what a clownshoe you are man.
You set up for a draw last time here and should have been beaten comfortably.
We have nothing to fear going down FP as long as the manager doesn't fk things up with wrong tactics and team selection.
If we do go out, it will be on pens but I'm hopeful of a 1 goal win and at worst, a draw.

We will beat you. You are not the team you were. Your bottle will go. You and us would struggle v the other teams today. Sorry but you are not entitled to promotion. You are simply not good enough. Truth hurts but there you go. Good that we meet next season tho.

Sorry. Insults don't cover the fact you are awful. Nervous and not championship material. 3-1 next week. Twist the other results all you like. We beat you at Wembley beat you at fratton Park drew at sol and lost one 1-0. We settle for that

Bollocks , your number 6 sums up your team and your managers limitations, he has got away with murder this season , cried to the ref when Maguire had a pop at him. What was the fuss about reduced ticket allocation , pathetic show from you yesterday , where you there ??

If we are awful then.....

Wembley was a draw mate 2-2.

I have no problem acknowledging we are average at best and have no sense of entitlement so dunno where you invented that from.

IF u beat us by that score it will mean we've had at least 1 player sent off as there's no way you will win 3-1 if we keep 11 on the pitch.

It's all relative though. For many, ending up in the playoffs was seen as failure.

All wishful thinking on your part, you seem nervous and rattled.

Certainly not awful. Not fantastic I will grant you that but on last two games, a much better team than your lot. Anything could happen Thursday but for now, we have the advantage.

It was obvious by half time yesterday, despite our shaky start, we were by far the more likely team to win it. Anything you had to offer was being soaked up, our keeper was not tested once. One attempt on target which only came 63 minutes into the game and one free kick that didn't clear the wall but hit the woodwork from the deflection. If it wasn't for the change of shape forced on us by a harsh sending off you'd have been overrun in the last part of the game, as it was you still struggled.
