Completely agree with this.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."
And Dave WatsonI’ll never forget going up to Roker Park for 1973 cup replay. Me and my dad sat with the Sunderland fans, and they were great with us. The atmosphere was unbelievable if I remember rightly we bought Horswill and Tueart shortly after.

I thought Dave Watson came a while after Horswill and Tueart, but yeh what a player for us.And Dave Watson
Sunderland will be back as a top tier side ,football is cylical and you have to experience the lows to appreciate the highs our fans know how fortunate we have been with our owners , and never take it for granted ,leave that to the 'istree clubs.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.
Yes, Watson was later. Meant we signed all 3 after they’d played against us in that ‘73. Cup game. Think Tueart and Horswill came pretty much after they’d won the cup that year and Watson a season later.I thought Dave Watson came a while after Horswill and Tueart, but yeh what a player for us.
