Louise Taylor - Sunday's game

[Kent Boy 2]

The last day of 2000/01 season had us in a similar position where we could qualify for Europe

And we were beaten to Europe by….. Chelsea!

2004
If we had Beat Millwall in a FA cup semi final at Old Trafford would of had us in Europe

What a fkn nightmare that was the epitome of doing a Sunderland

 

[FatDrummer]

Us from past experiences just recently we’ve turned it around

That is ok then, you can’t get any more recent than now.

Nah this is a different Sunderland a different beast 22 points from losing positions tells you this. We may well lost the game or draw and not qualify for Europe but it won’t be because of bottling.

God don’t remind us of that debacle

Just hoping for the usual bottle jobs not to turn up

Who are they?

The whole point of finishing up the table and avoiding relegation was so we didn’t have to stress out about the last few games of the season.
Now people are trying to force us to pile the pressure on anyway!
It’s unnecessary. Hopefully we’ll beat Chelsea of course, but if we don’t we don’t and it’s still been a great ride.

im sure it was Harry Redknapp who told him his West Ham team were out on their feet at end of season after been in previous season, that maybe so but surely could have played some reserves/youngsters in early rounds after all its nowhere near prem level.
Get knocked out, so be it. Was nothing to lose.

I think that was the official excuse. We played the following season like they hadn't had a summer break at all so fat lot of good the extra time off did.

 

[Qoelet]

Good article. I like Louise Taylor. Reading that contradicts my previous ambivalent stance on getting into Europe. LETS GO SUNDERLAND!

 

[Bladecat]

did we not qualify twice for inter toto but Reidy didnt want to play in it ?

Unlike Shearer, we weren't desperate to get a certificate

God don’t remind us of that debacle
