I felt a little uneasy about the way this thread was developing last night and having read through the comments this morning, I have not changed my mind. Frankly I think it's embarassing that a forum made up of fans who pride themselves on being different from other clubs can treat a visiting football fan like that. I may be getting a little precious here but I think one or two should be ashamed of their contribution.
If winning the CL means we are all going to turn into Mank-like Winkers then I wish it hadn't of happened to be honest. The fella comes on here, says he'll be cheering us on in against CSKA as his team will never ever qualify, and we slag him off? He feely admits that they are going to fighting relegation all season, so we laugh at his teams predicament? He's proud that his team won the Championship last season, so we say "Nah nah nah nah nah, its not as prestigious as the CL? He's a bit one-eyed as far as the game goes, so we destroy the fella? He's actually proud that his team got beat "only" 1-0 by Liverpool, so we laugh in his face?
Well not me. There were some good people involved in this pack, some people I have a lot of respect for. People can slag me all they want, not a scouser?, how many games do you get to mate? I don't care. That was wrong and I hope if this fella does ever revisit the site or indeed any supporter from a non-rival team (unless I've missed something and we have descended to the point where Sunderland are our main rivals), that we treat them with respect.
