The argument of being a big club is one that gets me. It generally means, we're a big club so we can pay agents and players more and more obscene sums of money. And we can also charge more and more. And we can get more loans and allowance to be in more and more debt.
It seems to me morally repugnant. But being a football fan I still want my team to get bigger. Its a bugger being a football fan.

It's only something fans mention to either big themselves up or belittle a rival.
Makes no difference at all.
You support who you support.
End of.
For example, Bristol City are a bigger club than us in most respects - except achievements.

Returning to my point that Williams is a progressive coach, therefore not suited to the Prem.....it's interesting to see what is happening with Poyet, and of course Williams is a Poyet man. Gus is getting pelters for trying to play a possession based game....his response is to suggest that Sunderland fans are "living in the past" and crave "kick and rush"
It's difficult as we know to educate fans, and many of ours still moan about our style of play....Appleton at Oxford has been trying to do something similar, but made the basic error of pointing out, quite correctly, that Oxford fans are too stupid to understand what they're trying to do.

Barnsley haven't spent 15 years in the bottom two divisions recently, plus they had ground development which always seems to get a few extra punters in.

Sunderland fans are fed up with negative tactics and players not giving 100%. Nothing to do with kick and rush. Oxford are near the Conference trap door and simply need and want points. |

Could you imagine if we went up AND Oxford went down. Would that not be a wonderful thing? The world would a better place for it. |

With regards Gus, I'm merely quoting what he's said about their fans...same with Appleton. |

You have to remember with Gus that nothing is ever his fault. He has turned into a right whiny bastard since he went up there. |
