It was my comment that seems to have wound up a lot of their fans on that thread. Surprising it annoyed them so much because I would have thought it was obviously tounge in cheek. As a response - yes I am bitter. I hate it when we lose like that as we seem to do two or three times every season - ask Newcastle fans about how they won here last year.
From a Sunderland perspective it was obviously a cracking result - come from behind, ten men, still win, brilliant. It wasn't the sort of performance that signalled that they'd turned a corner though. They may well do, it will certainly give a confidence boost, but there's no doubt it was a fortunate win.
The minutes silence was poor. The vast majority of the noise tbf was in the concourse but not all of it. Either way I've heard a lot of minutes silences at DC over the years and that was the worst one. A real shame because the one at boro last week was impeccable and really brought a lump to the throat. This one was just disappointing.
As for the stuff about our ground size and us going back to where we came from. Fair enough, I started the insults. All I'd say is that in my opinion when it comes to football fans there are people who support their local side and there are w@nkers. In that regard there is a lot to be jealous of the northeast clubs for - I would love for us to have everyone in our area an AFCB fan but this is the south and fans are fickle, that's not to say we've only got 11,000 fans though. I obviously riled people on that site who thought it was arrogant in suggesting that we are better than Sunderland. The truth is that at the moment and on yesterday's evidence we are. I know Sunderland have a bigger fanbase, better history, etc. but I don't care about all that I am an AFCB fan and I just judge the players on the pitch as I see it - and we should have won that game!
