TONY K I COULDNOT HAVE PUT IT BETTER ABOUT BRUCE 5 MILL­ FOR A MANAGER WHO,S WON NOTHINK . END OF THE DAY THE­ FANS UP OUR AREA SHOULD HAVE AND DESERVE BETTER THAN­ WHAT WE GET .I AM A SUNDERLAND FAN PUT WOULD LOVE TO­ SEE BOTH CLUBS AT THE TOP END OF THE PREM TO STICK IT­ UP THE COCKNEYS ETC .THEY WOULD NEVER GET THE SURPORT­ AND PASSION WHEN SHOW OUR TEAMS THE NORTHEAST IS AND­ WILL ALWAYS BE FOOTBALL LAND TRUE FOOTBALL LAND HOPE TO­ HAVE YOUS BACK FOR THAT DERBY WE ALL LOVE AND NEED WE­ ALL NEED THAT

Come on Tony K! Lucky?! Every team played 38 matches.­ Every team played each other twice, home and away. ­ With that system, the teams that play the most­ consistent football will finish in the top of the­ league. The teams that don't will end up where we­ (SAFC and NUFC) did. I don't think you can­ disagree with that. None of the teams at the bottom­ were playing quality football at the end to say they­ were unlucky in defeat. I would venture to say the­ results were as expected in the end.

We was bloody lucky ha ha,and thank fkuc that we had­ the luck o the Oirish with us so we did.

Tony K - I agree with jack that it is commendable you­ stick with the Black and White through thick and thin­ times. I join jack in the slow hand clap.

Now I ask­ you to give me more credit then the typical­ "morons" you encounter on these posts. As I­ stated in my lengthy dialogue, Sunderland did not play­ to their full potential. They finished with 36 points­ because they deserved 36 points. My point is that 36­ points was enough this year to be called a Top Flight­ Club.

I can not and will not blame the refs or other­ players for the blight of my Red and White, because I­ will not give refs or other players credit for the­ success of my Red and White. As I am sure you­ wouldn't blame/credit refs or other players for the­ results of your beloved Black and White.

Ah Tony you get a slow hand clap from me just for the­ sheer bravado of it,well done mate,a lot of the Mags­ have simply smouldered away in the blaze of realisation­ that their team are @#$%.But hats off to you and­ Cameron you keep flying that tattered,battered little­ NUFC flag of yours."Bit of the Dunkirk spirit . .­ know what I mean?"

Quote Tony K "dont give me this top flight­­ rubbish, you are making the numbers up in that­ league"
That's just what you think you lot­ are going to be doing in the SECOND STRING LEAGUE?

so shearer is big name manager won 0 as player with­ scum will win o as manager.
walk away now alan before i­ laugh the rest of my socks off
mick the mackem.

Tourette's Tony

I think you will find that my­ magical Mackems are most definatley a Premier league­ outfit "Fact"

Ha Ha Tony k like your kahunas mate still dissing SAFC­ despite your team being in the league that dare not­ speak it's name and Sunderland by definition now­ being the only big club in the NE of­ England.
Sirstevejones13 not only do you pollute the­ boxing threads with your vile drivel but now you come­ on here doing it to.Educationaly sub-normal people like­ yourself would not have survived the master race's­ purges,maybe something you should think about before­ peddaling your racist tripe on here.The BNP are a­ cluless bunch of one idea rejects from society who play­ on the fears of the uneducated.

Shame about Dwight BTW, He was a very good player but­ getting on a bit now, still a legend in T&Tob

Isnt it a shame that everyone, no matter how stupid,­ gets to vote. Ever wondered why educated people never­ vote for the BNP? Is it because you know something they­ dont? You understand more than people who spend years­ studying subjects?
Read a book, perhaps about WW2, the­ nazi's lost, the superior race lost!

Allow me to reflect on the status of Sunderland for a­ moment ...

The first fact is Sunderland accumulated 36­ points this year. There were several occasions when­ they should have taken more points. Unfortunately,­ this wasn't the case. They didn't play to­ their full potential and found themselves in a­ relegation battle. The task was a difficult one on­ Survival Sunday against Chelsea. But, to their credit,­ Sunderland played valiantly despite falling 2-3. Was­ this going to be enough?

This is where the second­ (some may say most important) fact should be brought to­ the attention of all those reading this post. The cut­ off point to remain in the Premier League for the­ 2009-2010 campaign was established by Hull at 35­ points. Therefore, any team with 34 points or less are­ to be relegated. As I recall from elementary­ mathematics, 36 is greater than 34. As a result,­ Sunderland deserve to play in the Premier League next­ season.

The last piece to this puzzle isn't so­ much fact as accepted truth . If I were to ask­ citizens of various countries around the world,­ "What is another name for the Top Flight of­ English Football?", I would expect the answer to­ be some variation of "The English Barclay's­ Premier League". So, I don't think I would­ damage my reputation by assuming that "The Premier­ League" equates to "The Top Flight­ League"

In closing, the facts previously­ discussed and the worldwide acceptance of a simple­ truth lead to one conclusion ...

SUNDERLAND ARE A TOP­ FLIGHT CLUB!

10.Top flight club - AH,AH,AH,AH,AH!!!!! that should­ have read Houdini.

WTF!­ -----------------------------St James' will still­ be full every week. ---------------------Tony Tony­ Tony!

It's becoming quite obvious that you have­ gone from been a Magpie to a Cuckoo fella! ------every­ Week-------
Thanks for that,I've now got my­ keyboard under a inch of coffee due to your bird-flu­ statement(#issed myself) I've got a spoon in my­ mouth at the moment in the hope i don't choke­ swallowing my own tongue.

PS, I'M CUT and PASTING­ THIS ROCKET FUEL for AMMO BY THE WAY.

Releasing the dead wood has just saved the next manager­ a job, now he can concentrate on building a GREAT team­ instead of a surviving one, pity they won't be able­ to play the geordie rabble though ha ha

tony k at least we have a chance of qualifying for­ Europe via our league position and also by the looks of­ things alot of money to spend u on the other hand are­ bleating about having to cut ur wage bill by 650k a­ week , nowt to spend on players and only the early­ rounds of the Carling cup to look forward to oh and by­ the way aldi are doing an offer of two coca cola's­ for a pound shearer might just be able to afford a can­ for each of the first team if ur lucky

Tony K - maybe its time you start commenting on­ newcastle articles and leave our top flight club alone.

1.You'd think they would get a manager b4­ releasing­ players! Brendan normally I would whole­ heartatley agree with you wise words.But Yorke was­ never going to get in whatever managers team in the­ recent past or near future. It's a 25,000 pound a­ week saving on a player way past his best.

Thanks all­ the same though Yorkie

3.Im very confused im sure Niall Quinn said that the­ next­ manager would be a BIG name......????....how does­ bruce­ qualify for that....how many trophies as a­ manager has­ he won....did wigan finish in the top­ four....are they­ in europe....now see why i am­ confused....?????? -will p.

Sorry to confuse you­ further, but Bruce is not our manager!

Expecting "Yorkey" to find himself some­ coaching job either in the Trinidad and Tobago or in­ Australia... He's done playing and I expect him to­ stay away from the pitch...
