Sunderland Thread - 2021/22

[jimharri]

Winning again today (so far). 1 up against Bolton. Assuming they hold on today, six wins and a draw from their first 8 games. Impressive start to the campaign.

Them and Wigan are the form teams at the minute

R.I.P Sire, Len Ashurst was a Sunderland legend.
Met him a few times when he was Cardiff City Manager, lovely man.

Managed Wednesday between 75-77 and stopped the decline in some of our darkest times, started the rebuilding along with his assistant Tony Toms who also passed away in the past week.

RIP

I see the Mackems got their arses handed to them today. 4-0 at Portsmouth. That'll be a long trip back on the coach this evening.

Apparently horrendous conditions/water logged pitch that prevented a game of football.Our boy came off the bench but was unable to influence/impress and play his passing game as the turf would not allow.

Best forgotten/bad day at the office/shit happens......scenario.

Still think them and Wigan will still be top 2 at the end of the season

He was interviewed for the City job, the MEN snapped him coming out of Maine Road one night, but he lost out to Billy McNeill

Another professional job done today. 2-1 win down at Gillingham, despite playing the last 20-odd minutes with 10 men. In a promising position in League 1 at the moment, with a game in hand.....

 

[jimharri]

Ouch! @Stockport mackem, what the fuck happened there? Not wumming, by the way. In no position to do so after yesterday.

 

[Stockport mackem]

Aye..really poor Jim....didn't expect to win in truth after we picked up a good few injuries v QPR during the week.... but definitely didn't expect a 1-5.....

I fear for us tonight against sheff wed..

2-0 win against Ipswich yesterday. In the playoff spots now, with games in hand on most of those above them. Happy with the way things are going at the moment, @Stockport mackem?
