stupid phil k peter reid took us to 7 th twice This pug­ face wont get us top 10 you @#$% hole

And as for­ northeast teams and hate, too right, Newcastle should­ be torn down and rebuilt red and­ white................

Sunderland have made a bad­ choice, but a season ticket holder for 40 years this­ season wont be going, And as for Kean the man was a­ muppet, he is a curse to life..........

Sunderland­ have now got one thing to look forward to, playing the­ scum next season in the fizzy pop­ leauge..........................

hope bruce stay longer with sunderland. He is the good­ manager but after he build the good and strong team­ suddenly he left. You may see next seson WIGAN will­ struggle in the league. I dont think so valencia,­ schaner, bramble, figueruao will stay there.

well he might of been black n white, but now that hes­ seen the LIGHT he a born again red and white FANatic...­ good luck steeve, and hard luck sheeeeeeeeera

ashleyliam2 has not got a clue. bruce needs a chance­ and if he mucks up i will eat me hat.

You know what I am sick of all this crud about­ Geordies, Anybodys a Geordies if you are from the north­ east. The term Geordie surfaced more than 100 years­ before the Football league even formed, its about­ mining and lamps and kings and stuff, nothing­ whatsoever to do with kicking a ball about. The Black­ & Whites(the Mags) hijacked the term and the media­ have band waggoned it. Steve Bruce is a Geordie just­ like the rest of us blessed to be born up here, he­ wastnt my first choice, but now we have him lets get­ behind him , the last one done well for us,

You lot don't know when your well off, thick as you­ are

Steve­ Bruce might not have been my first choice but­ clearly­ he was Niall's (in whom we trust) and­ going from­ the press conference Niall has had him in­ mind for some­ time (I daresay since Keono did a­ Keegan). Having had­ tiome to reflect, we should give­ Bruce time - let's­ judge him on his transfer­ activity and where we end up­ come next May (higher up­ the table than this season I­ predict). Moreover,­ I'm old enough to remember­ Stokoe being appointed­ and that he was not met with­ universal open arms given­ his Black and White past. ­ That soon changed though­ and remember, he even played during their 1950's­ glory­ years as well as being a fan, at least Bruce­ only made­ the mistake of being a boyhood fan and he­ has twice­ turned down approaches to manage them -­ that'll do­ for me. Also we won the FA Cup under­ Stokoe and now­ have a statue in his honour ouside the­ Stadium (beside­ which Steve Bruce was photographed­ yesterday - see The­ Journal, Northern Echo etc.­ etc).
So we have a Chairman­ in whom we trust, an owner­ who makes Abramovich look­ small fry and a manager with­ 1 years managerial­ experience including many in the­ Premiership. Rejoice,­ don't snipe. After all The­ Skunks can only dream­ of being where we are:­ they're in the Championship­ staring down into­ League One, don't know who mtheir­ Chairman is, the­ Owner is trying to flog the club to­ any Tom @#$% or­ Mustafa in Dubai and Mary Poppins (with­ little­ managerial experience) is now baulking at the­ idea of­ becoming their permanent manager. Ho! Hum!­ What fun!!­ Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!
HAWAY THE LADS!­ We're On Our­ Way, On Our Way, In the Premier, All­ The Way!!

Phil K---you're wasting your breath trying to stop­ NE fans slagging each other off or trying to get them­ to respect each other no matter which club they belong­ to. I've been saying the same for years--I've­ been a Sunderland supporter for 60 years---
but I have­ also supported all NE clubs in Europe --any British­ club in fact--because I'm a football fan and not­ JUST a Sunderland fan. I was born midway between­ Sunderland and Newcastle so I had a choice and made it­ stuck to it through thick and --mostly--thin! I­ don't think Bruce is the right choice---Sparky­ Hughs for me--but now we're stuck with him I give­ him his chance and he gets my support. Wait and see,­ but I think he'll be gone if it gets tough--and­ it'll be tougher if S'land get off to a good­ start.
Keeping the momentum is always hard.

SEAHAM RED STAR PETER REID COULD NOT MANAGE SO KEEP­ QUIET AND GIVE STEVE BRUCE A CHANCE HE WILL DO WELL AT­ THE LIGHT YOU WILL SEE IF NOT HOWARD WILKINSON IS FREE­ TO COME BACK

ashley your a typical mackem...thick as @#$% and forty­ faced.

Steve Bruce is the BEST manager your club has­ appointed,name me a better one?

This guy is the latest­ generation manager with added bonus of experience at­ the highest level as a player...unlike Keane (who you­ turned against after a run of bad luck) Bruce has shown­ he can manage well at smaller clubs than­ Blunderland.

I wish he had been signed by Newcastle­ where im sure he would be a great success there­ too...you should put aside this petty hatred between­ north east clubs.

Your getting a great manager and­ mark my words Ashley this time next year you'll be­ singing his praises just like 30,000 other two faced­ sunderland supporters who only go to acually support­ the club in the good times....

You should be proud­ that lads from the north east..manage north east­ clubs...celebrating other north east clubs demise and­ the loss of revenue to the region is stupidity

Peter­ reid was a @#$% manager and ruined sunderland like he­ has every club his been to..your in denial mate cos im­ sure you remember empty stands towards the end of his­ reign ...in dark times your the only north east club­ supporters that desert your club

STEVE BRUCE IS TOO­ GOOD FOR YOU LOT

Give the man a chance
