Tell the world what you think about Sunderland

Tuesday, March 9th, 2010

The world, for the purposes of this initiative, is restricted to the listenership of BBC Radio Newcastle, that station with a funny name but a heart, occasionally, in the right place. One of the station’s presenters, Martin Emmerson, launches an appeal for Sunderland fans willing to express their views on air …


With the business end of the football season here once again, we’re offering Sunderland fans the chance to have their say about the team.

Why not join us for Total Sport each week night from 5.30pm to 7.30pm and have your say with Marco Gabbiadini?

We are always looking for supporters to add to our Fans’ Forum list – which we have had up and running for 10 years now – so if you’d like the chance to be a radio regular then e-mail me with your details and we’ll add you to the list.

Long is what we’ve had to wait for a win, if we agree that beating a team 100 or so places below us, in the cup, doesn’t really count. Short is Ellis, due to join tonight’s endurance test – watching Sunderland at home to Bolton – before meeting his manager, Steve Bruce, tomorrow.
The message to fans is simple: get behind the Lads. They need you to urge them on to an important victory. But the message to Sunderland AFC is even clearer: the time for understanding is running out …

Only a fool would deny that Steve Bruce has been unlucky with injuries this season.

We go into tonight’s massively important game against Bolton with Andy Reid, Lee Cattermole, Kieran Richardson and Jordan Henderson unavailable or doubtful.

With what is left – especially with Steed Malbranque only just emerging from the doghouse after being disciplined for a breach of curfew during the recent Arsenal trip AND likely to be offloaded anyway – you wonder from where Darren Bent and Kenwyne Jones can expect a semblance of service.
