Go on then, tell us, I know you want toI should have went and I could have regaled you all with my pretty bastard boring reason for supporting Sunderland.
Credit to @HeaderDownBrown who managed to avoid getting into the picture and took it instead.
Or, we've all still got it.I didn’t want to devalue the sheer masculinity in the picture, Janey didn’t count as you could barely see her peering above the flag bless

I support Sunderland because my dad and my 4 older brothers and 3 older brother in-laws did, as did all my mates and my mates relatives. Its funny like as I was growing up in the 70s and 80s there wasn't many lasses who were remotely interested in football, but there's bloody loads nowI know, you poor thing
Go on then, tell us, I know you want to![]()
Just picked up on this I was a bit tipsy last night, I wasnt tagging in order of people, I’m actually surprised it was even as close as only getting you and molethemackem the wrong way around.You've got me and @molthemackem the wrong way around man woman man.
Well since you asked, but I did say it was boring. Dad was from London and was an Arsenal fan, mam hated living it that there London so gave him an ultimatum, “I’m going back to Jarra, you can come if you want”. Well dad just does as he’s told and off they go. When we were kids, dads mate was a Sunderland fan and he took us to games, in a bastard 3 wheeler and in those days, he had to leave us in the car whilst he had a pint in the Prince of Wales, bastard freezing it was. Anyhow I stuck with it instead of following dads team. I got my own back on my boys, they followed Sunderland instead of their home town team. They’ll never forgive me! They were born in Leicester.I know, you poor thing

He's there ladOr, we've all still got it.![]()
Never boring learning how people came to support this brain fart of a football team, I’m always genuinely interested. Your dad’s mate had good senseWell since you asked, but I did say it was boring.

Me Mam started going in the 60s with her brother. She had spell away from it when I was a kid and just me and my Dad went because she was at home with my little sister. She got back into it though and has lost count of how many grounds she's done. She still loves her aways now and the trip from London bridge station to Millwall the other week didn't phase her one bit.I still remember, like yesterday sitting watching the 1973 cup final with me dad. (Warning long post alert)
He’d been going since he was a lad of about 11 so roughly 1948. When I popped along, to earn extra money, he worked in me grandas bookies on a weekend to earn extra money. This meant he couldn’t go to games for a while. He was doing this in 73, he was offered a ticket but turned it down because he said he wasn’t going and others deserved it more.
From a selfish point of view I’m glad he didn’t go, watching that game with him, will stay in my mind forever, I remember it like it was yesterday and it hooked me in.
You are dead right about lasses not doing football then, I had many battles being accused of only going because I wanted to look at footballers legs, I had people challenge me as to what I knew about football, me mates used to tell them, don’t go there, before I made them look silly.
Rant over, sorryx

You're a lucky lass having that relationship with your dad and also lucky to remember that cup win. The only major trophy we've won in my lifetime and I was too bastard young to remeber it. I was only 2 ffs bloody typicalI still remember, like yesterday sitting watching the 1973 cup final with me dad. (Warning long post alert)

When we mam and dad were ‘courting’ as they did in those days me dad once took me mam to the match. She asked which one was Sunderland, needless to say, he never took her back.Me Mam started going in the 60s with her brother.
