And Michael Gray has just cleared a Charlton shot off the line.

One more goal for Charlton and the fans could be revolting.

I agree, their fans are revolting!

I have a feeling they're going to go backwards a bit this season. Losing Hutchison is a blow & Quinn can't go on forever. They'll have to completely change their style of play if they can't replace him with a similar player - and there aren't many like him around any more.

They're now 2-0 down!

They had a woeful start last season, too, so I'm keeping my gob shut in a hopeful sort of way ;) On the other hand, remember the abuse they gave us when Charlton beat US at home last year?

It just looked a bit too funny to be true.

Damn it.

Charlton are really being pegged back now, and the Sunderland library is starting to murmur

Well it ends 2-2, loads of draws today.

Sunderland fans clap their team off.

My dad was at the Sunderland match (business thing) and he doesn't even like football. There is no way in hell he is going to like it after that game.

Man Utd 4 - 0 Ipswich

Makes last Saturday seem even more impressive :)

Sunderland sounded less than convincing today, atleast for the first hour they did.

There keeper "Macho" sounded hopeless, without Sorensson, they'd be relegated, with him they'll be lucky to get into the top half.

If results at home continue to go against them and Reid doesn't bring in some decent BIG NAME signings, then he'll be sacked before Xmas.

It was ManUre's second string as well - no Giggs, Beckham, Veron, Scholes, Van Nisterooiy, Blanc, Gary Neville. They even had David May playing for god's sake!!! First goal was a bit questionable (it was the live game here in Australia) but they looked in complete control after that. Quinton Fortune looked useful, wouldn't surprise me if we see him getting more and more involved.

Do you mean big name as in "Christianoffsonalanigdlo"?

Or simply someone who costs more than £3m?

Ray Parlour says he's sick of the bench and he's been a long term target of PR....

But he has the same haircut as Stan Varga. If they played together, the colour blind Sunderland fans would surely complain.

some of you lot should really try and actually go to a match!!!!!! i will be in here tomorrow for your match and i expect to be the fly in the ointment so to speak.

We will when we play, Kev.

Why would we go to a Sunderland game?

I know that the 2 posters above this are real fans.But living where i do i find that empty vessels make the most noise.Some of us are more concerned about safc/nufc losing than our own team winning,that is SAD.

I was amzed when Sunderland lost at Sheff Wed, there was not a single comment on here, not one.

-- Anonymous, September 22, 2001

Probably 'cos we just scraped (and I mean scraped) a 4-1 win against Brentford. Mind, to put things into perspective, Super Kev's lot won 6-2 there today. (note the capital letters to both words.

To be honest Superkev, I don't like to see Sunderland doing THAT badly, as long as they finish below us. The derby games are the best in the country and if either team were relegated we would no longer have them.

To be brutally candid, I'll only achieve true contentment when the mackems are playing derbies in the Northumberland Senior Cup against the Toon Reserves.
