Bad owners aren’t ideal and we’ve all had our share but I doubt the crowds of three thousand odd you used to get back then helped much either.

Vicious cycle, sell good players buy tripe players, loose matches, crowds drop, have less money, get worse players, cycle continues. the fact you also risked life and limb going to any football match at the time did not help one bit. I think all clubs had reduced attendances at this time.

Not you as well. I will just pop off back to Uni and get myself an English degree before I dare post again. would not like to upset all the school teachers on here.

No. All right is fine. I was just asking if you were alright? It's not a good start for Boro.

Aye we all know it's a very long season. Neither Boro or Sunderland are likely candidates for automatic promotion or relegation. What happens in between those positions is anyone's guess really. You're still here sticking up for Boro when the gobshites from last season who told us categorically that we were shite and Boro were literally light years ahead of us have all vanished now.

I do tend to get pelters for my (pro Boro) views which is fair enough I suppose.
No point hiding away just cos we've had a shocking start to the season - it is what it is, I have more important things to think of than football.
I know you're not saying I did, but I would never have thought of us as being 'light years' ahead of you (if indeed 'ahead' at all).
We both had decent seasons last time out, in my opinion both exceeding expectations.
You seem to be finding your feet pretty quickly - hopefully our new players will start to gel soon and we can start picking up points.

Very early days still, but our 'form' is starting to get a tad concerning.

well that's the degree sorted. Not a good start, that's a wee tad of an understatement, been bloody awful in my opinion.
