Basically, I have always been interested in recording my thoughts on Sunderland football club, and allowing other fans to view and comment on them. Therefore I decided to do this and I hope that it takes off. I will keep it updated with writings everyday if I can.

West Brom Vs Sunderland
Posted 27-04-2009 at 04:27 PM by safcrhys
A win here and we would have been safe, this was going to be my first away game. I wasn't going to go, but then on Friday night I recieved an email from the guy who runs the Consett Sunderland supporters branch saying he had a spare ticket if I wanted it. I quickly checked what finances I had available before letting him know that I could attend. And so to an early night on Friday!
I awoke early on Saturday morning, my Dad took me up to the local pub where the bus would be travelling down to Birmingham from, and we set off at 7:45. The bus journey was long and boring, 5 hours of sitting and twiddling my thumbs, if it was bad going down, then I think you can imagine how bad it was on the way back!
We got to a pub in Walsall at about half 12, I met some mates in their and we had a few pints before setting off to the Hawthorns at half 1. It was rough in West Bromwhich, their were home fans giving us verbals, but we gave them back. Eventually the bus reached the far side of the stadium and we all clambered off to join the crowd of Sunderland fans heading to the away end.
Kick off came and we were all singing our hearts out. However, West Brom were the better team from the off, we had one real shot of conviction, it was from Richardson, I was convinced it was in. And if it had been then maybe it would have been a different story.
As it was, West Brom scored from a rubbish corner and it was all downhill from there. The second half came and I was hoping for a reaction from the players, however they didn't seem to care at all, and the performance after the interval was even worse than what had preceded. West Brom soon scored again and we were never in the game, Cissé missed an absolute sitter and we never had another chance. West Brom scored again with a few minutes left and by that time we all started heading for the exits.
A couple of the players came over and applauded us but were met with a volley of abuse and soon hastily retreated. What else did they expect? The bus journey back was a nightmare and the best bit of the day was a stop at McDonalds near Sheffield.
A very disappointing day and now we need to take atleast a point from Everton.
