Match Thread Sunderland v Leicester

[popillius]

It hasn't helped that, as soon as our goal went in they shit the bed and stopped pressing us so high. We didn't have anything like as much space after that. Mind you, we helped them by pissing away possession with sloppy passes time and time and time again.

What was Sunlan’s nickname before they made up this Black Cats shite in the 90s? I could swear they already had one but I can’t for the life of me remember what it was

We just look low on confidence is all, another goal, Wilf on and it's round to Homer's for trombones.

Rokerites?

Sounds like a skin disorder.

Commentary back just in time for them to go berserk about how we’re losing ground in the promotion battle when the Rokerites score

 

[Blue Maniac]

Rokerites?

Sounds right

Mackems

That’s a relatively new term.

 

[glyn]

Could do with an early second goal for the Filberts

 

[Brown Nose]

When Sunderland left Roker Park in 1997, they decided that they couldn't keep their nickname any more.

Don't see why not myself.

Anyway, they did a vote with fans to pick a new one. They were given five options:

Black Cats (winner)
Mackems
The Light Brigade
The Miners
The SOLs

Deary me Leicester, come on boys. Totally lost our passing rhythm

Tis. But it was definitely what they were called at the time they decided to be black cats....by both mackems and geordies. Weird times back then. They also became a city after the city boundary went stupid. In the very south of Gateshead there's a council tip that's now part of the City of Sunderland. Obviously including Stig of the dump pushed the population up by the 1 they needed.

It's on the same channel as Inner City Sumo and Monkey Tennis.
