Sunderland 'Til I Cry: EFL and beyond 19/20

lol wrong thread

The joy of articles like this is only fleeting, I know, but I think it's important to savour it while it lasts

(If you're disinclined to click on that link to a boring link to an ad-splattered hellsite, it's an article in which Plymouth's new manager recognises that the snot army are especially sad about their team's mediocre start to the season because ECFC have had a very good start to the season, goes on about it a bit and then says its irrelevant and how he doesn't want to talk about it.)

(I am not being entirely fair.)

lol West Ham

me and my big mouth

god watching Stoke drown is enjoyable

Genuinely can’t remember the last time I saw Butland play and he didn’t give away at least one goal.

"£35m... is that for one glove?" Lambert said.

"The way the modern market is you might get one glove for that."

"I know the people at Wolves, but that will get Jack’s right-hand glove!"

Have. It.

:D :D :D

hah! eat it white shite!

let's see if this soft as shit group of serial losers can cut it on a cold wet Tuesday night in Stoke.

ah, the hell game

In hell Kachunga will have to watch that miss of the season of his on a loop forever

every game has been a hell game for a long time now.

what a load of shite, but hey a win is a win! Nathan Jones will be gone by dinnertime.

only a few points behind Millwall, keep it going now

You won?!?!? Woohoo

What a shame for Stoke and their fans

it was a resolute but mostly awful performance for lovers of the game - we've played 10 times better and got absolutely nothing multiple times in the last 18 months. i'll take an ugly shithousing bastard of an away win at Stoke on a cold tuesday right now though!

FC United 5-0 up after just half an hour against Buxton.

Roll over Kasper Schmeichel, WILL. JAASKELAINEN. is in town, and Crewe are top of League Two

ashamed to say I absolutely aced this white shite quiz

lol

i got 9. forgot about the existence of peter lorimer

hard to forget the answer to one of the questions after being escorted/separated from a bunch of them on a train by british transport police after we'd just won a first leg L2 playoff game against Lincoln City and they'd been relegated from the prem after 4-0 mauling at early KO at Stamford Bridge.

some Nostradamus shouted "Welcome to the football league lads, you'll get used to it!"

an absolute amazing reaction save by our rookie keeper followed by a total howler of a follow up miss of the season candidate, so I'll take a point against this shower of shite.

x_x

Ouch

After a couple of terrible results, we clock up our biggest derby victory against the snot since 1925, apparently.

6 games unbeaten inc 3 wins, we have our first guaranteed 25 a goals a season striker since .. erm Pawel Abbott. Yet we still are absolutely awful to watch at times... but staying up is on again. Need to ditch Elphick fast, he's an old laggard well past his best and with too many dumb mistakes in him.

Sunderlol

You may not love to see it but I sure as hell do.

national league north fixtures today wiped out by the rain, only 3 out of 11 matches were played

congrats Tim!

My only regret today is that there’s a roof on our away end nowadays.

^^lol

i note that exeter are in the promotion places, kiu

a classic of the genre including drink driving, a player fleeing the scene of the crime and then returning 45 minutes later, a club cynically taking the moral high ground to sack an old laggard on high wages. Also Giggsy turned up to give a character reference for Tom Lawrence in court.

gotta love a team bonding day

when Keogh was on loan at Town he was really shit and his keyboard warrior mum kept logging onto the Hudds forum and getting into flame wars with anyone who dissed him, which was about 99% of posters.

Lol. I can see him making a case against Derby though. First demanding a 'my way or the highway' wage cut, and when it's not accepted going for the axe approach with "gross misconduct" is p nagl.

yeah i'd imagine he'll win, he wasn't even driving was he?

yeah but he was illegally not using his seat-belt! (whilst probably coked up)

He didn't drive and was left for dead while his mates fled the scene lol! One of them has been getting regular playing time since.

i know it's cruel but it's pretty funny really! I mean out in the real world how many of us would feel lucky to be offered £5k a week to sit on our arse for a year?

we certainly won't be going down now and we totally picked your pocket for that Karlan Grant lad, imago - soz. He's turning out to be one of our best signings of the decade.
