Media bias - yes that old chestnut

Wilkins during our loss at Stamford Bridge was worse. At least his 'performance' saved me £30 a month from thereafter.

Here here, its all Tylers fault, FFS. We got what we deserved , fuck all.

And we quite clearly deserved a draw, we battered them for most of the game and lost to an offside goal. If you think that means we were shit and deserved nothing then I honestly don't know what to think, you must be some kind of downtrodden doormat.

Exactly. Sunderland are and always will be shit.

And those empty seats ha ha ha.

Dear me.
And here's me thinkin we'd both seen a LOT of shit at times.

And as for the empty seats?
Yes 41,000 is awful. For a live televised game, where there was absolutely no public transport on, it's terrible.
What a sad man you are.

The last time we had anything like comparable seasons (IE : Just before you gat the BIG dosh). 2007-2008 Season.

You finished six places ahead of Sunderland.
Despite this, here's part ofthe attendance table.

Position - Team - Average - Highest
4 Liverpool FC 43.532 - 44.459
5 Sunderland AFC 43.344 - 47.802
6 Manchester City FC 42.126 - 47.321
7 Chelsea FC 41.397 - 41.837

And you're a 'Moderator' ??? Christ, scraping the barrel. You actually sound about six "ha ha ha" Sad.

Nothing wrong with Tyler's commentary it was an exciting last minute winner from the team that was expected to lose and the commentary made the moment better from the eyes of a neutral. However I take the point on Sky bias.

Just looking at the pundits they chose from, all the regulars (Redknapp, Neville, Souness etc) played for and clearly favour their respective ex-teams. Another example I would like to point out is that on the SSN app on my phone the story on the sad passing of Ablett has the headline "Ex-Red Ablett dies" which to me is baffling considering he actually played more games for Everton and won an FA cup at both clubs.

Ooooohh, looks like someone's just spat their dummy.

They're here, they're there, they're every fucking where, empty seats!!

To be fair mate we could go back just a bit earlier to 05/06. City had an average attendance of 42,856 and Sunderland only managed 33,904. City finished 15th and you went down but it shows how fickle your fans seem to be. City have constanly got 40-48k at the new ground even when we have been playing badly.

Let's not start taking cheap shots at Sunderland for 'empty seats' and their support and shit, they're a decent club with decent fans, one of the best around all things considered, save that stuff for the likes of Everton, Rags, Arsenal, Spurs etc who only too gladly take pot shots at us at every opportunity.

heh, going on to another club's forums posting attendance tables is very sad though tbh
