No, but you said 'if we become the best team in the league'. Unlikely, but if that happened, it wouldn't be a surprise, would it?

Makes me laugh like the likes of sess and steed get lauded on here yet they aren't fit to lace the likes of Ginola, Robert, Saint maximin, Cabaye and Ben Arfas boots.
SM has done nothing yet really, if we're honest. Sessegnon was better than Ben Arfa imo. Didn't Ben Arfa go long stretches not even being able to get a game for you?

They're mentioning the Sess that none of their starting 11 could get anywhere near, on the actual pitch?
Described by one of the commentators at the time as "the difference between the two teams".
Here's a little reminder for the Sunday morning gravy squad.

They probably get 'lauded' on here because it's a SUNDERLAND forum!
Christ what exactly are you looking for on here? Sunderland fans saying how brilliant Mag players are compared to ours??
Aye he's a true titan of the game, you have been blessed to witness with your own two eyes the like of him playing in your colours.

You probably stood up and applauded in awe when Sess scored that. We f***ing rinsed you......Again

No news again today, gents? Such a shame 
The only reason he didn't get a game because of the fuckwit of a manager. Once he was in the team regularly, he performed.
He often used to come off the bench with 15 minutes to go when we were 2 goals behind to 'work his magic'
That just proves that, as always, we're the yardstick. A good chunk of Sunderland's support would be happy to be in the Northern League finishing mid table as long as we were one place below them. It's probably why as soon as we were relegated and we weren't that crutch anymore in 2016/17 they've plummeted through the divisions.
Take that Nobby and Sonny drivel a few pages back as further proof. Proper cringeworthy.
This will bring the usual 'day shift/sunday morning' patter back, I/we imagine

Do managers regularly leave out their very best players when they're "often" losing games by 2 goals with 15 minutes to go? Seems unlikely. Also bizarre that he stayed for so long under such conditions, could it be that he was massively overrated perhaps? Looks like a pretty similar career path to Sessegnon to me, albeit with a poorer return when he made it to the big league.

Bollocks from start to finish, where was our plummet through the leagues when you got relegated ~7 years beforehand? The difference is our owner's ambition was high in ~2010 and in 2017 he'd basically given up. NUFC had nowt to do with it.
Answers in bold.
Sess better than Ben arfa dear me
My apologies mate, I might have given you too much credit, I now realise you are a bit simple.
Imagine Steed and sess is as good as it gets in terms of flair players at your club
I suppose when you have had years of white hatchet man like Bally and catts the likes of steed probably look like zidane to you small time bunch

Ashley bad but yet your buzzing over 3 of his signings saying they are flair players?

Have a look at their careers, very similar in terms of teams played for and goals scored.
Pardew does as he's a fuckwit. Ben Arfa was playing superbly at the back end of the 2011/12 season in a 3 with Cisse and Ba. We lost one game with that three at Wigan (their usual end of season comeback) and he completely shit himself and abandoned it.
This made him go back to using Ryan Taylor as a defensive winger, sidelining Ben Arfa but deciding he needed him in the last twenty minutes if we were either drawing or behind.
Aye, I mean, just look at their career paths after they played for us. Ben Arfa (after playing for another fuckwit at Hull) moved to Nice where he scored 17 goals on the way to Champions League qualification before moving to PSG, Rennes and now playing for Valladolid in La Liga whereas Sessegnon went to West Brom, then mid-lower table Montpellier and now plays in Turkey.
Similar indeed.
On your last point, you weren't as reliant on the results against us in 2008/09 as you were in 2012-16. For four straight seasons until we were relegated the points you earned against us were the difference between survival and relegation.
Canny goal pet but look what you have now a fat free transfer from Bury as your best player. No shaming you lot man. Laugh at Almiron yet he's 100x better than your best player. Saint Maximin compared to Maguire
Blinded by bitterness and jealousy. What's it like being in the giant f***ing shadow of Newcastle and the mags? Only ones who can rival you in the bitter bastards stake are @Binxy @Billy Batts @Bears Beets
