Gemmill 34425 Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Mind, something amusing did happen at the weekend at least - my sister's boyfriend text me to offer me a £200 that Sunderland will WIN the Premiership in the next 10 years. He also says they have £65m to spend in the summer. We might be a bit of a laughing stock, but give them a decent run of results in the Championship and they're already talking about winning the Premiership. I hope you took him up on it? Fucking right I did! Only after I'd confirmed that he wasn't on crack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia 0 Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 I work on a weekend so its impossible for me to go to the games. If I could go I probably would renew as i'm a daft twat. I'm massively pissed off at the state of Newcastle but i'm also pissed off at the state of football in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 34425 Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Straight £200 Renticus. I've got £200 on that we finish above them next season too, although I'm less and less confident about that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either that or they can call it quits now since Sunderland will finish above us next year but not win the league, ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 34425 Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Pwning the Championship means fuck all when you get up in the Premiership tbh. I can still see them having a long hard struggle of a season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can still see them having a long hard struggle of a season. possibly but i imagine they'll attract a far better calibre of player under keane than they did last time they were up.

Gemmill 34425 Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Aye we'll see. Wages are gonna be an issue, as is attracting players to a newly promoted team. We've definitely got good enough players to be finishing above them though - it's the fuckwit we've got in charge that is the concern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's as may be, but how many of the Sunderland squad would you swap them for? Sunderland at the minute are all about momentum and confidence. Playing against higher quality opposition every week, and starting the campaign with a few defeats and it'll be a different story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But much like Keegan did when he brought us up, the pulling power of Roy Keane may bring some decent players to the SOL. Roeder has to rely on something you hate and thats overinflated wages..

Nah, they will need to rely on wages as much as we do if they're going to get people in. It's nowt to do with Roeder/Keane's pulling power, and everything to do with getting players to come to this region. We'll see anyway, I don't see Sunderland making too many summer transfer coups though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
