Watching City the other night is like watching a different sport to my lot at Sunderland. I hope the long term Maine road lot are lapping it up.

Oh, we are! The dark days will never be forgotten, so we are revelling in this.
Will the good times return to your club? Will we hear the Roker roar again? Went there a few times, always good.

Be a long time before we rear our heads again.

To be honest I am finding it a bit strange. It feels like watching some sort of movie. Watching us move up in quality since we clambered out of the third division has been incredible. The gap from the Championship to the PL was huge, then we made a huge leap forward into the top six. It was so tough to get in the top four and then win something. Then struggled to get out of CL groups and this season we have won10 out of 11 CL games, a record for the competition.
But the biggest change of all has been under Pep's Total Football. I never thought I would ever see a City side (or any English one TBH) play at such a high technical level. It has become as the ironic song says: "Just like watching Brazil."

Agreed. Most City fans know full well that we are privileged to be watching football at this time. We have been truly spoiled in the last decade. What Pep has done in sport is very rare and unusual and only happens once in a generation.

Sunderland are a great club with great supporters and hopefully soon you will get back to the premier league where you belong. I think you will get promoted this season.

You must not have gone to Roker Park back in the day then
,Why on earth you think they belong in the Premier bet they cant even beat York lol
I must admit i have a soft spot for them .Had a good drink and a laugh with them when they got a draw with us on there way to win the Fa Cup .bloody hell it nearly 50 years ago .
 
I hear a lot of 'we know where we came from' and frequent references to the third division but let's not forget that was the only season in our entire 127 year history that we were down that far. We may have fallen on hard times in the 80s, 90s and 00s but that wasn't our level historically and lets be proud of that (as well as proud of the support we showed during the dark times).

Hopefully Sunderland's blip will also be short lived and good luck to them.
