I know that you will twist logic to fit your narrative but when the great and the good of football say that Benitez didn't have enough time, I'll take their word over a biased Sunderland fan. Carragher said, before Benitez had even taken charge of a game, that he's unsure there were enough games left as Rafa isn't firebrand motivator, he'd need time to turn the ship around.
We went down because we accrued insufficient points over 38 games to end the season outside the bottom three. You can point at 3 games if you like but that's cherry picking at it's worst. We would have stayed up had McClaren beaten Villa and not lost to you, or prevented Everton and Watford from doing the double over us, and so on.
It's revisionist to declare that Rafa was to blame for our relegation, just as it's revisionist to declare that sunderland sent us down.
I understand why you would try to manipulate the facts to show either of these things though, so if it helps, you crack on old boy.
We've got at least a whole season to laugh at them. Gerrin!
It's great. Still sleeping like a baby and waking with a grin on my face.
Our lass (nah, you wouldn't thank me) keeps saying she's amazed at the transformation; we've been wed ower 30 years ~ you'd think she knew me by now. Wimmin!
It wasn't even just us relegating them....we relegated them and saved ourselves at the same time. Add this on to the recent derby results and they must genuinely hate the ground we walk on. Unforgettable times for an SAFC supporter. Now all we need is their stagnation in the lower leagues for a decade or so, plus ideally us winning something and/or finally establishing ourselves as a decent team, and they will probably just give up on football altogether.
Ah I remember a facebook status of a friend of a friend which quite simply said after we beat Norwich:
"Sunderland fans singing 'are you watching Newcastle'.
Of course we are you plums, we are watching you do us a favour"
I bet that Jarra nuggett is feeling pretty low right now
