The media ( I kna ) and the two Jordans



Hopefully our local North East media will reflect that a great save and a great goal from two Sunderland lads provided the platform for our National side to progress to the quarter finals of a World Cup -with reports from former teachers /friends and local dog walkers who “ knew “two of our own .Hope they get the attention they deserve -we will wait and see ( ha ha )
Patto next ….
Just watched Dawnie and she said Pickford tripped over and luckily the ball struck his arm. She said Pope would of caught it with one hand and slammed it down the other end while the Senegal keeper was off his line to give England the lead. Then said when Henderson scored, the ball bobbled up and bounced off his leg. She went on to say if Wilson had that chance he would of flicked it up scissored kicked it in over his head. Bloody biased Look North.
 
He's from Bury. I am sure the people of Bury are cheering him along. Mason Mount is Chelsea blue but was born in the blue of Portsmouth on January 10, 1999. Pubs all over Pompey were packed to the rafters with Pompey fans chanting his name I bet. It isn't Pompey who they want to play up. It was Mason. And even further afield I am sure Kingston, Jamaica is proud as hell of their boy Raheem Sterling.

I am proud of the success of all the telly talent from Shields' like Joe McEldery (the only episode of the X Factor I ever watched was the final), Sarah Millican and Chris Ramsey. I was even proud of Steve Simonsen who played for Tranmere Rovers in my one and only game I saw at Roker Park and was happy his team won 1-0 in the pouring rain on Sunday March 5, 1995. That was a consolation to me. It is only natural we think about where a sports, music or TV personality comes from. It's a nice thing to think about. It makes us proud. But don't go overboard.



So anything you disagree with about what Sunderland supporters do is being a mag is it? Must we all be indoctrinated with the iodelogies of Sunderland supporters? Once upon a time they used to like to throw season tickets on the pitch if they wanted a manager gone. Or they liked to walk about before the hour. Is that something we had to agree with them doing?


I had a whole list of people on Ignore. Yet I was told to rise above it and laugh it off rather than stick on Ignore. Due to my good nature and because I am a soft touch and a fool I agreed. I have never regretted anything in my life more than bowing to the advice of the SMB. I will be piutting right a great wrong. I am going to re-establish an Ignore list with anyone who dares insult, humiliate or embarass me.

The SMB is a case of one rule for one (me) and another for everyone else. The hypocrisy and bias on here stinks.


You could just fúck off, though, if this place stinks that much, couldn’t you?
 
Just checked out of curiosity and amazed to see Pickford only played 31 games and Henderson 71. Would have sworn it was more than that, especially Pickford.
Great to have local pride and the lads are doing a tremendous job but there’ll be a big % of people who don’t even know they once played for Sunderland.

They are from sunderland thats the thing

Yeah, and they’re once again doing a great job and like I say it’s great for local pride. I’m sure the Birmingham folk are equally as proud of Bellingham.
I was just surprised how few times they played, especially Pickford.

Local heroes

Rather see them do well than any player we brought to the club
 
Perspective please. Too much emphasis is put on heritage when it comes to football players. Yes Jordan Henderson and Jordan Pickford are from Sunderland but they no longer play for Sunderland. Football is a sport of clubs. Not homes. Southgate picks players based on their club, not on where they are from.

Football has a horrible habit of taking you far away from home. Once you are sold by your hometown club and the club that started your career like we saw with Jordan Henderson and Jordan Pickford, the chances of you going back to re-sign are slim I think. I don’t know of many players who went back to sign for their hometown club. Once you get sold that is it. You leave your parent club behind to make something of yourself.
Good post.
Too many have the blinkers on here regarding "our Jordans" and love a good "wankfest" over them. :lol:
