League One Clowns - Where Are They Now?


I'm not that arsed about them tbh. Don't really hold grudges against them either. We were down there because of how shit we were and they were always going to see us as a big say out in that division and do whatever they could to wind us up and play horrendous football.

We deserved a lot of grief we got as well, should never have been in the position of getting wasted by League 1 versions of Bolton, Rotherham, etc losing play offs to Lincoln.

But we ensured and we are getting our rewards now. Who cares what the other clubs are up to.

Jesus I still have nightmares about that game at SOL. When his players came out ay HT, I'm pretty sure we were waiting for them, and they were jigging around the cones on the side of the pitch wasting time. The ref just watched them and did nothing. I was going apoplectic. I'd have booked the lot of them. Mind a lot of teams do that now including us but not in the same way as they did
 
Sorry','but reminiscing about it is absolute bllx....Bloke whos' sat behind me on The Kop for years was doing it yesterday...He f.ookin' HATED it,,,,when were down there..now he's gone all sodding romantic about it...I had to tell him at half time.."Its f.ooking dogshite!!!"...I mean he can carry on if its suits his mental health...I've no problem with that, but seriously?...don't p*ss down me back and tell me its raining....
I ain't got a bone to pick with any club in league 1...I'm no superfan cos 25k will tip up to watch tat, its a bloody testament to the deluded...and you lot have been there, I simply happen to be going there again, its not sodding romantic...Its a sad irish song me Dad used to sing..."Ahh remember the bloody potato famine of 1845 ?...happy days...f.ook off...I'll take it....You don't have to dress it up...Its bloody horrible!!!

Agree I hate the we were too big a club for league one stuff but some of the shite tossed our way while we were getting 30k plus most games by fans use to really piss me off. I think most Sunderland fans never pulled the card they accused us of pulling all the time and we largely as fans could hold our head high for our time in league one. It’s almost like a badge of honour now 😂
 
It was all our own fault and creation to be down there in the first place.

Most of them are and always will be shitty little League One and Two clubs.

You couldn’t blame their players and fans for going mental when they scored at the SoL. Just look at the clubs that are in League One and you will see why they were so excited…

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.

That Barlaser of Rotherham. Mag helmet. No idea who’s team he’s stinking up now.

Aye it was bizarre as when I looked most of them up they had no links to the mags so just enjoyed it because it was againt us

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.

It’s still the same now. Fans trying to force rivalries or acting like big daft kids. MK Dons being a proper clown show of a club doesn’t help either

The Wycombe situation in 2020 was an absolute disgrace and I will never ever forget it. Loads of those little tinpot clubs revelled in the plight of my football club, fuck them all I say.

And some who were in influential positions within the club at the time as well. Jim f***ing Rodwell for one
 
The Situation said:
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:
