Sunderland as a city wont improve until their residents realise they are living in one of the most deprived cities in Western Europe and do something about it. It is light years behind Newcastle! With in my opinion Sunderland council is the worst council in the North East, even council like South Tyneside and Hartlepool beat them hands down.
Exactly this
 
Look, most footballers coming to the premier league these days are young, foreign, thick millionaires with superficial women. They have shitloads of spare time. There is fuck all for them up here compared to the likes of London. Like it or not that's a fact.
The "thick" bit is the most relevant I think. Most players are finished in their early 30s, just when the best part of life is really getting started, they can go back to London then.
 
Loads of our lot say if they are only coming for the money they don't want them here :lol:

It's the world we live in ££££££££££££
Safc hoodwink us year in year out with bollocks promises to sell season tickets
 
He says that


You genuinely believe Sunderland is no worse than Leeds or Liverpool......have you ever been outside of our city?
30 years in Sunderland, 10 years in Australia, 10 years in Malaysia and China and now back in Queensland Australia but back to Sunderland a few times when on business between London and Newcastle and a few cities in between!!!
 
It's a bit more than just the idea of settling in the NE, Gus. Do you really want me as a fan to spell out our problems we have had difficulty correcting the last 10 years? Do you want me to run through the number of staggeringly atrocious players we have signed? Do you want me to think of an example of when we have played shockingly bad? Do you want me to tell you about your predecessors?

We all know that the answer will be yes to the above.
 
I get out loads and traveled to most cities in Western Europe and Sunderland City Centre is one of the worst in terms of facilities, attitude, life style etc.


Pretty sure Spurs players don't shop in Edmonton town centre or Palace players trotting around Croydon, you argument is flawed, if you wish to continue blaming the city centre then carry on but you just look a wee bit daft
 
Parts of Liverpool London Leeds make the worst parts of sundrland look like desirable places to live FFs, you can walk around all of Sunderland without being afraid for your life that can't be said for the places I've listed.
Really, so stabbing a etc don't occur in Sunderland? Suggest it's more to do with familiarisation of where your from. End of the day it's not about how many shit estates somewhere has it's about the centre, facilities etc which puts Sunderland bottom of the pile!
 
Prob a few degrees , which is noticeable tbh

Paying big bucks nowt to dee with the area
Middlesbrough is still a crap hole but they had some Excellent players
You pay the money the players will come
I see you've seen the light, thanks RG. Rumour was that we wanted Merson at the time, now why would he choose Boro over us. It must be the air???
 
Of course he has his work cut out, what is in Sunderland? Nowt. Most of the players and managers that come here live in Newcastle and shop in Newcastle I haven't heard any players shopping in Sunderland. Newcastle is much bigger and better unfortunately, tough pill to swallow but that's life. The only way they will come here is if the club keep improving and tempt them with money and the way we play football.

I know this is a difficult question, so take your time and have a think about it before you respond.

Here we go.

Do you think players, who sign for football clubs, have to live in the city centre of that football club?
 
Unbelievably there is actually.

Too fuckin right, when I was running The Cheery Tree in Canterbury, Christmas Eve popped into town in a T Shirt before driving up to Darlo. two jumper and down jacket job on arrival.
