I see they've tied down their manager for the next 3 years....

Head coach Regis Le Bris signs new long-term deal with Sunderland

The Frenchman guided the Black Cats to promotion in his first season at the helm.

Sorted himself financially.....will get a decent payoff when they sack him, which will be somewhere between Xmas and end of the season.

Hopefully not, but there is a high likelihood you are correct

Another good win. Early days, but I think they should be okay this season. There are worse teams.

True but that worse team gets last minute penalties against Burnley

Ha, very true.

It gives hope to fans of Championship teams that they’ve come up, attracted some very good players and been able to spend money.

It’s good to see IMO.

The good thing for the newly promoted lot is that teams like Wolves look hopeless.

At least one will stay up. Sunderland would be my bet.

Early days... 6 points on the board, although we've arguably had an easy (if one exists) start. Fortunate against Brentford, but we'll take it...worrying come the new year, as most of our incoming will disappear to Afcon... but if you'd said to me..would you take 6 points.off 3 games, I'd have snapped your hand off.

 

[Don Karleone]

Not too shabby

 

[Blue Budgie]

Great start for the Black Cats. Delighted for their fans looking down on the Barcodes.

 

[Stockport mackem]

We are riding our luck with our defensive tactics...but I'll take it

 

[Earlyriser]

Good start. It looks like they might have a decent manager for once. They've had some real boneheads at the club

 

[TinFoilHat]

Hope this form continues for them.

You only need another 29 points from 32 games to ensure survival.

Easier said than done, I know, but it’s a bloody good start.

Beautiful Class Gesture From Sunderland Football Club:

One of the best starts to a PL season by a newly promoted team, ever!

Only Blackburn in 1992-93 and Forest in 1994-95 have had more points after 9 games.

 

[Stockport mackem]

We are punching.... and it's something I'd never ever thought I'd see.... 20 more points to avoid the drop...that's the goal

 

[Vienna_70]

Brilliant!
