This Mate.
The immediate pain of your rivals will subside as did mine when the Pox entered the Championship.
We are a bigger club than that lot, history etc and it will come back.

Your tradition, history, loyalty and passion is not governed by them up the road.
To say that they are no longer rivals due to budgets and ownership, sorry I’m not having that.

If your club is ever on the brink of folding like mine has it will give everyone a sharp shock reality check. Sunderland til you die. Never changes.

Sorry but while we can despise them, hate them, they are not our rivals, not any more. I hope they f... off to some European super league. Really hope they realise dancing with the devil will take them to hell. We can compete with Boro, they win, we win but we ain't realistically going to compete with any established PL club not unless we can somehow get established and that needs money or luck, prob both. I actually like the idea of us not being their rivals, they hate it.

Gonna be the play offs you lot, I mean thats where the rubber hits the road isn't it?
Newcastle result was probably as galling for you as the Derby was for us yesterday,but fair play to The Blades, they got a difficult job done..without the help of a whole bloody country funding them/....
Newcastle?...I Honestly don't count that..Its a purchased pot...I honestly have no problem with The Geordies..apart from that particular point.
In any play off game, looking at the top 6..I'd back Sunderland,.... cos look at it
Its going to come down to passion, support, and simply screaming your team on....its not as though you lot are behind the door with that sorta stuff
I'm sure you will mump and moan as the season progresses, but doubtlessly you will have at least a say in it before the end...Thats when the rubber hits the road and the fans make a difference...be there to do it

We have just got to accept it. I didn't watch it but they deserved to win by all accounts, if we say anything else it will be sour grapes. As I said we just need to focus on ourselves now and get back on the right track.

To be fair NewcaKSAtle winning a trophy has no impact on us - they had to get new ownership and spend more than we’ve spent in the last 40 years to win something :lol:

It’s like me winning the euro millions and bragging to my mates about buying a yacht. I think part of the fabric of Sunderland is it’s a working class club that has links to its city. If we sold to any state that would be lost.

You's spent £400 million during your last Premier League era :lol: The 8th highest spending club during that time and it led to relegation(And hounding your mega spending owner out).

We're the 11th highest spending club during our current Premier League era (8th since the takeover), which has led to us winning a Trophy and qualifying for the Champions League.

I genuinely don't understand where you's get your transfer spending statistics from.

You’re right of course, what should have said was meaningful rivalry. We simply can’t compete with the money.

Maybe but don’t let it cloud anything.
Would the current Pox team beat ours right now? More than likely.

It can change Mate as nothing stays still.
Football can still throw up the unpredictable.
KTF.

Liverpool were shocking and their big players went missing.
Salah and Diaz offered nothing. As soon as they bring on that clown Nunez you might as well call it a day.

Of course they are.
How else do you explain the FAcup full house? Out first cup full house for donkeys years.

Rivalries can remain dormant over time.
They are only in idle mode before they ignite again.

So you are happy for your rivalry to move out the top 10 in this Country and allow the Swindon Oxford one to take its place?
Boro are not your rivals and Newcastle will always be. Success does not impact rivalry.

I had us at a negative 52m and yourselves as negative 550m. That’s only a spare 52m per outfield player.

Not bad for a fairytale is it.

You're about -170 million off with your estimation

Not my estimation.

If you want your ego stroked to say the set of multi millionaires that wear a shirt colour you identify with did such a good job and it’s nothing to do with the clubs paymasters I think you’ll be a long time waiting.

Almost as long as the time you’ve spent in here - madness.

ultimately pleased for my closest mates who are all Mags. Their reactions have been what I'd expect from a Sunderland fan, just massively thankful, amazed and a bit emotional! Saw a lovely photo of my old neighbour too (who's about 80) with his 2 daughters at Wembley. They're not all nobheads.
