Nice to see all the true and proper northern dunderland supporters fleeing the stadium of lightwight at 85 minutes. Missing the equalizer. :lolol:
I thought that too. Yes it’s early in the season, but in all likelihood this is going to be one of your biggest promotion games, you’re only 2-1 down, it’s not like it’s 3 or 4 nil and the game has gone - where the f*** is everybody?

Why are these fire drills so commonplace nowadays? They were never a thing back in the day except for extreme circumstances.


Is it that modern stadia (not sure why) and crowds being twice the size of what they were in the 80s both contribute to a feeling of needing to beat the crowds?

Clearly a fire drill at 2-1, POOR
Funny that when the goal celebrations were going on, the crowd swelled back to a much higher level. I understand that if you have to leave you have to leave, but leaving your seat and hanging around in concourses as the game is undecided is frankly weird. Sunderland have been in the doldrums for years, and now top of the championship and still in with a shout of an equaliser, most of them disappear. Well they missed an iconic moment that gained them a valuable point and deprived a main rival of two.

Sunderland til 80'th Minute And Then I Go Home And Do Something More Interesting season 1 soon on Netflix.

Utterly pathetic going home when your one goal down and pushing forward. What's even the point of going to football then? We all live for those equalisers.

Shaping up, it’s very competitive, good to see no runner away leader through parachute money this time, and some clubs without parachute money in the mix.

Think it is logistics of getting home. People are more likely to have moved away from where they were brought up due to house prices and work as one aspect.

A MASSIVE win from behind for MASSIVE as they turn over Pompey 2-1 at Fratton Park, keeping the cheating scum rock bottom of the Championship.

Portsmouth have 8 points from 12 games, and a -13 goal difference :lol:

Would be great to see Sunderland go up, as that could well be another away day that goes to purchase history. They're going well so far.
