The 06/07 Version of: Let's all laugh at S*nderland

[mdfc]

New chairman.
New manager [but same guy as chairman].
New attitude.

Same ole result.

2-1 to Coventry, mackems back to the bottom of the table.

You know, I think you could make some pretty decent money if you bet about $25 on Sunderland getting relegated this year.

I need some perspective on the following (iow does it qualify as laughable) ...

Sunderland are on the verge of signing Barcelona midfielder Arnau Riera (captain of the B team) following a successful two-week trial. (http://uk.sports.yahoo.com/060808/1/m2ko.html)

Basically, I have no idea of the quality of player coming from the Barcelona B team. Comments?

Good enough that the fact that he would want to go to Sunderland is ... puzzling at best.

They'll probably buy the wrong one like the did with Nunez a few years ago.

The Stadium of Plight once again lives up to its name, as the mackems lose their home opener 0-1 to relegation buddies Birmingham.

Luckily they have 22 more opportunities to match the same amount of home league wins they had last year. 22, the same spot they now occupy in the table.

Manager/chairman Naill Quinn remarked after the game, "22nd place is exciting for us...we've finished 20th in the Premiership twice, and I wasn't aware that you could actually go lower than that. We're home again this weekend and we will see if we can build on that number."

So which is worse?

Sunderland being horrible, but acting important with Mick in charge.

or

Sunderland being horrible and acting like a joke with Quinn in charge.

there always is the FA cup for 23....

Congratulations, Sunderland lost at home again today, this time to Plymouth, 3-2.

Three games, three losses. They really could be relegated again.

[mdfc]

They've hit rock bottom, and are still digging!

No doubt.

Who's the last side that fell two divisions from the top in successive years?

Unless the sites I looked at were wrong, Swindon Town were relegated from the Prem in 93-94 and from the First Division in 94-95. So it's been about twelve years, and I guess we're due for another? :D

Thousands of disgruntled fans streamed out of the Stadium of Light long before the end as Sunderland stayed without a point from its first three games in the League Championship.


Next stop....LEAGUE 1!!!

[mdfc]

This is starting to feel like I'm rubber-necking for too long at a bad traffic accident. 3-1 at promoted Southend? And the lone goal was a 90th minute consolation?

[cleazer]

That loss today has left Sunderland at the absolute bottom of the table. Their next league game is against West Brom, so there's definitely hope for them starting out 0-5.

Once again Fox make up news.

Thousands of fans? I think not.

If by "feel sorry for" you mean "point and laugh at."
