Exactly. Just how the club did with their pre-match tweet about us being late.Embarrassing.
Playing to the crowd.
Yes.but at least.it's factual.A good couple of subtle digs in there too...
“It may be 83 years since they were last champions of the land and 46 since they collected a major trophy...”
It helps.Does this season now become a success if Sunderland miss out on promotion, meaning that us beating them screwed them over (again!)?
I am looking forward to about 2 weeks time when nobody is obsessed with Sunderland any more.
Was just thinking this exact thing myself. Absolutely loved the match as it was happening and things fortunately went our way in the end. You'd like to think that after an afternoon like that, two sets of fans could respect what a crazy match it was that could have gone either way... But because of how badly they've taken it - and continue to take it - it just makes the win all the sweeter. It's risen right up into gloating territory for me now and to the point now of hoping we've balls'd up their promotion hopes.All this sour grapes just makes me think how fantastic it was that we went up there and beat them, backed by nearly 3000 raucous supporters. I really expected us to lose and then to have to listen to them gloating. They really aren’t good losers are they. Bunch of arrogant tossers.
I think you're expecting a little too much from the 'average'.I think most average minded Sunderland supporters will be embarrassed at such amateur, childish reporting. Pathetic and factually wrong on all accounts.
I’d imagine the main man on that rag will be calling him in to ask him to stop making up rubbish as the guys embarrassing not only himself but the football club. We’re are the 9th biggest city in the country and could be said the second biggest club in this league. Get a grip man and face reality!
Did laugh at how stupid the guys made himself.

Forget Coventry freak show – if Sunderland don’t go up it won’t be down to that game
If by a miracle we get into the playoffs this twat has laid out MR's Dressing room speech against them :joyful::joyful::joyful::joyful:Sunderland over the years have had numerous issues which in fact a documentary was made - some of this guy's comments about of fans and team are completely out of order, particularly Sunderland they play in the shadow of a BIG club namely Newcastle -
Both clubs are trying to form a closer relationship after what has gone on with the jimmy hill comments of old and the issues Saturday and this idiot just tries to stir things up again - Stuart Donaldson the Sunderland chairman was apparently distressed on Saturday - how about he gets on the phone to this idiot and bans him from the stadium
In fairness - they have won much more than us in the past, they have a 49k stadium which they own themselves, their average attendance is way above ours...they averaged over 40k last premiership season.
Let us not delude ourselves we are the bigger club

Barca slight exaggeration more of a PSG...Who's said we are bigger? I haven't seen anyone claim that.
They think they're fucking Barca though the way they're carrying on.

This is all getting a bit pathetic from both sides and both sets of fans now. Both as obssessed and becoming as embarrassing as one another. Let it go. Everyone.Our message to Sunderland reporter dissing Sky Blues
Good measured reply....
Let's be honest, he's written to get all of us clicking on it which = more advertising funds. Fair play to him, it's definitely worked as I've read it over and over again laughing my head off.
No...but I thought it was just a matter of time (check out post #52...clearly heading towards) so wanted to make the point early.Don't think anyone has made that claim?
So you made it up? Shock.No...but I thought it was just a matter of time (check out post #52...clearly heading towards) so wanted to make the point early.

Yes it was a brilliant game and utterly exhilarating but absolutely no need for our fans to throw bottles on their fans below. I saw several some of which I believe were glass. No wonder they were pissed off. Defeated and attacked! We would feel equally aggrieved. I know loads of Sunderland fans who are nearly as long suffering as us and are equally sanguine. This fan hating nonsense just depresses me. What a brilliant afternoon of football it was. Enough said.
PS After the Cup final in 87 some racist cov fans ruined my sense of community. I really don't want this kind of thing to become normal
The stand out irony of that headline! Don't think I need to spell it out for the 1977 grudge bearers.Sunderland Echo journalist Tony Gillan even having a go at us, some strong comments.

I can't wait for the second series of the Sunderland documentary. They'll definitely feature the Coventry game as it was so action packed and they lost which makes great tv.
Imagine the bitterness and tantrums after the game from those whiney jobless crybaby fans? Pure gold.
What's the betting that if we lose to Portsmouth on Monday, Sunderland will call us cheats.
I don't think media outlets are that picky to be put off by old stories etc, Simon Gilbert got another job ffsDo no such thing!
It's embarrassing for them and we should laugh it off. Their press are bad losers just like their fans.
Imagine if he ever goes for a job at a national newspaper or broadcaster, that could come back to haunt him.
