League One Clowns - Where Are They Now?

T

The Situation

Striker
Given how well we are doing, it's a good time to check in and see how the clubs and fanbases that went on like complete and utter idiots during our League One days are doing.

Wigan - "stole" Charlie Wyke from us as they were a bigger club IIRC. The payment issues were just "administrative errors". Funny how that bloke hasn't posted on here in about 3 years. Currently 17th in League One.

Wycombe - "this is our house and you play by our rules". Remember that clown? 11th in League One.

Rotherham - team full of ex-Mags who loved nothing more than wheeling out the Shearer celebration. Wonder if they're still at it as the score to drag themselves up to their current position of 13th in League One?

Peterborough - The club who Darragh MacAnthony used to make up nonsense about turning down a (non existent) massive bid for one of their players from us in every single transfer window. Not sure he can do that any more now we're signing players like Xhaka. 21st in League One and heading for relegation.

Accrington Stanley - abandoning a game and then charging our fans again to attend to take advantage of and rip a few quid off our superb away support. Now 17th in League Two! Surprised they didn't do more with the extra cash.

Oxford - Karl Robinson calling the police. Enough said.

Portsmouth - one of the most horrible worst sets of supporters you will ever find. And that Marcus bloody Harness.

And a special mention to:

Luton - who could forget Luton? That bloke who was coming on here with his "Prem Update" thread, only to them end up back in League One whilst we look comfortable in the Premier League, having accumulated more points in 13 games than they got in 29 and we are now just 4 points off their entire PL season total with 25 games to play. They're just outside the League One playoffs now, so maybe "The Kenny" will be fortunate enough to witness Championship football again next season.

There was a time when this place was infested by fans on the above clubs. Funny how we haven't heard from any of them in quite a while.

The cream always eventually rises to the top.

And yes, I am bitter and no, I won't move on. :lol:

One of the worst parts of league one wasn't the football, surprisingly enough. It was clubs, players and fans doing everything mentioned by the OP, playing against us like it was their cup final and claiming we weren't their cup final. You could tell a mile off that we were the scalp everyone wanted by the way they went on.

We kept getting told that no club 'has the right' to be in PL. That is true to some extent, but the history, fan base and resources of Sunderland eventually gained traction and oh look, we find ourselves in the PL.

They probably don't even think about us anymore tbf but that's understandable when you have the worries of desperately trying to make up the numbers of lower league football.
 
Just going to add a special mention.

Tom Flanagan, whinging on a podcast a few months ago that he was let go by us. This from a bloke who was dropped at one time or other for… Alim Ozturk. Also coming out with stuff how Luke O’Nien is ‘busy’ I think the term is amongst bitter, less professional ex pro’s.

O’Nien’s still here. He’ll play in the Premier League and played a big part of us getting here. He has two years of Prem money to look forward to even though he’s not played yet.

Tom is turning out for Colchester in League Two…
 
Going to be honest always like to think we are above such shadenfraude and pettiness and have that extra but of class about us..........
However bloody beautiful stuff sir great entertainment and better then then two talentless mag pricks in the jungle owa lass has put on the telly to catch up on and I agree let's get them arl tagged and here there thoughts on current affairs 😂😂

It was the football in a lot of cases like,can still remember at home to Gillingham and they were taking long throws into our box for near enough the halfway line….could mention a few more who done that sort of shite but Gillingham were the worst for me

Some of the goal celebrations were embarrassing. Loads of teams celebrating in front of our fans and shouting abuse at the South Stand and not even bothering looking up at their own support. I also remember one player, but can’t recall his name or the team, who did virtually a lap of the stadium celebrating in front of our fans. The daft thing was he hadn’t even scored the goal! Guessing he was a mag as we seemed to play a team with a mag in every other week.

Anyway, he ended up with egg on his face as I believe we equalised then scored a winner.
