I spoke to a Sunderland fan who went to the game last night.

 

He said it felt like a home game to them in the south stand and he's absolutely spot on. He could not beleive the lack of atmosphere for the first day of the season. I mentioned that there are a huge amount of fans who want Megson out. He understood that but still couldn't get his head round the Reebok's inability to just support the team on the pitch.

 

Pathetic, in other words. Our support is pathetic.

I'm struggling to agree with that - I think most people would agree with the broad sentiment of it but there is more than one way to skin a cat see Fulham/Everton as the example and probably Wigan this season - why can't we stay up spend little but entertain at the same time they've done it?

 

I'm afraid Gary Megson being appointed is like when my daughter brought home her new boyfriend I immediately thought he was a pillock - but you try and be nice and stand by her hoping it works out but in your heart of hearts you know it will end in tears.

 

i hardly think you can argue wigan or everton, for different reasons.

 

fulham are an exception, granted.

That'll be Al Fayed's Fulham then?

true, but i dont think they are bankrolled by him anymore, ie he wants them to be self sufficient.

 

though i could be wrong.

Based in London, too. Which always helps to attract players.

This season is our ninth consecutive in the Premiership. This would put us in the top ten of teams within the current Premiership for consecutive premiership seasons.

 

The clubs achievments over the last ten years has raised the bar in terms of the fans expectations. Saturdays performance was simply not acceptable. It was boring, lacklustre and incredibly dull to watch! On a purely football level I do have an expectation that Bolton will do much better than that.
