He was a fantastic player for us, and I still get a buzz whenever I see him in Durham. We certainly benefitted from his best years but he's loved by Sunderland fans up here equally. |

It wasn't a crap league when we finished 5th under George Burley.
I can't believe all the posts on here, VAR, corruption, poor officials. Excuse central. |

I was watching the game 'live' with the much maligned Darren Ambrose on co-comms. They cleared up both issues, ref had blown his whistle before ball was in play both times. Luckily for us that he had on the first occasion.
Let's debate problems with our own team, not adjusted errors with officials. |

As fans 100% effort is what you want to see. For a TV analyst for a worldwide audience Ambrose can't blow smoke up our ar$es just for that. |

It's a worldwide audience, he can only say what he is seeing. I've never considered him for a minute as being anything but fair about us. |

The Bidding will keep going north. Not to us but in Delaps salary. |

Standard play at the top level. Let's not pretend we haven't had players go down easily, seek to gain advantage, appeal for a corner when they know full well it isn't. |

I thought the same. Plenty of posts of where we feel hard done by but that was a decision that went our way.
I'm still a believer that things level out over a season. The top teams appear get more decisions because they are in the attacking areas and have more possession. A simple law of averages. |

This 'points lost from winning positions' is a fact but also a statistical nonsense.
Losing at home to Bournemouth accounts for 3 of them, as does going 1-0 up early on at Manchester City. Hardly the same feeling of despair and loss.... |

I went to the 2-1 defeat when Marcus Stewart put us 1-0 up. I was with Newcastle supporting mates right behind the goal and leapt in the air when it went in. I got a few slaps on the back of the head as they celebrated Shearers equaliser a few minutes later, but it was a good day out - it always is there. |

These 'can't wait to be back in the Championship' posts weren't about when George Burley took us into Europe.
Are people suggesting that if we were going into the final match of the season needing a point to stay up they would want us to lose?
To me it sounds like sour grapes from bad losers. |

Thread | If Leeds remove Farke is that madness or innovative?
at 13:55 24 Apr 2025
Listening to a debate this morning on it. Fans accept players being moved on who might not cut it, or be out of their depth at a higher level. Apparently in American sport it isn't uncommon to replace a manager or coach once they have achieved their target and replace them with a proven successor.
It's an interesting topic, a bit like the 'Peter Principle where employee's get promoted to their level of incompetence. I know where I used to work there was plenty of that that went on! |

The worst thing for us would be another summer of speculation. Personally I don't think there will be any interest him, he's hardly enhanced his reputation, if anything his stock has dropped. |
