cameron and co are from a distant planet,aliens no less,they will infect these pages and wind up cats supporters in the sincere and vain hope that it disstracts from their well earned predicament,of being relegated which they refuse to accept,a team of no hopers no manager no owner,small minded bigots,who believe are a big club,and have the biggest airport,more pizza huts kentucky and phone boxes,and will continue to support this club whatever,the imbecilic and ridiculous views they post here,are a true measure of their sheer arrogance,no humility or pride they would gain more respect if they were to gracefully accept their position and applaud sunderland and wish them good fortune for the coming challenges.
Cameron (post 12) we can't keep away from your Championship page because laughter is addictive and we're always guaranteed a good laugh there.

there are more safc fans accessing and posting (insults) on the NUFC pages than there are on the actual safc pages . . . . . FACT - so think before you cast your aspersions pal!
Newcastle will be in the Championship for a few year, they wont recover from the relegation, whereas Sunderland are going forward with the full investment of Short, not too sure about Bruce but at least he can take us to mid table. I am looking forward to watching plenty of games at the Stadium of Light with premier league sides, it makes me laugh so hard knowing that the deluded barcodes will be playing the likes of Doncaster and Scunthorpe.
'Say we are premier league, say we are premier league' - FTM
I love the fact that Newcastle fans swarm to the sunderland pages now and try to take the piss, even though their club are spiraling down the leagues.
Go back to where you belong.

All the Skunks have it live on is the past and don't forget how they blazed a trail across the footballing world over the last 40 years and mopped up countless domestic honours over the past 54 years. Such a glorious past that they cannot keep quiet about. Hold on, they won nowt! Why the delusions of grandeur then? Must be all the Doon Ale they drink! LOL.

Bolton could not have asked for an easier start to their campaign; i predict a massive haul of one point from the opening 4 fixtures and the boos for Brucie will have begun.
