And most if not all nufc fans are miserable as fuck and haven't enjoyed it at all despite being a premier League team

They can't enjoy it though.
Each and very one of them is pissing his/her/its self, waiting for the inevitable news that the fat spaniard has walked/been sacked.
On that day, their world will collapse.

Did you forget about Peter Reid's two 7th placed finishes Benjie old chap. As I recall we were only 3 or 4 points above the relegation zone in Bruce's legendary 10th place finish … 6 in a row will never be beaten in mine or your lifetime Benjie … :lol::lol::lol::lol:


And you lot have still won zip since 1955 at which point Sunderland had more league titles than any other club and don't say the invitation trophy counts :lol:

Sadly your recall is wrong Bruce 10th place was 18 points ahead of relegation.In context it has taken 7 years and a drop to the Third Division for any Sunderland manager to improve such achievements of a journeyman manager

He won't walk or be sacked no matter what happens this season he will just walk away at the end of the season

They've had bigger crowds in the last few years, signed high profile players 20-odd years ago and...that's it.
Historically, there is very little to choose between. They've won slightly more trophies but we've won the biggest one more etc.
His "end of" suggests there is no contest and simply isn't the case.

Whilst I accept and agree that the higher attendances and high profile / world record signings are indeed major factors,
in my opinion, what separates us the most and I would have thought you’d have mentioned this, is our European record and us having never experienced tier 3 football ?

Does that make Forest bigger than Newcastle then? They've actually won a proper European trophy, twice.
Leeds have also reached a final and both have played in the third tier.

And yet Bruce stands as a colossus in Sunderland history over the last 60 years with a 10th place finish.


Up until 1890 Preston North End had won every league title and were most successful English league club in in history. One problem. It’s now 2018.

What is the timescale for achievements to be wiped from a club's history then?

Forest have won 2 European Cups which nobody can ever take away from them, a superb achievement, you can’t however be classed as a big club when you havnt played top Flight football for 20 years.
Similar to Leeds, although if when / they go up, and I hope they do, a sustained period in the premier league will put them bigger than us again.
