Your support makes all the difference.It is becoming something of a running joke that, year in, year out, Sunderland have the same season.
It usually goes like this: all optimism is gone by the August bank holiday, the manager is sacked as the schools go back but come May, his repalcement has somehow contrived to keep their heads above water. Repeat to fade.
This time, though, it honestly feels a little different. Rather than an inexperienced maverick or a jaded old hand, they have an established Premier League manager at helm, one who has plenty left the tank.
Sam Allardyce looks game for the fight this season and could make relegation fears at thing of the past at the Stadium of Light. His first job, however, will be getting them to win a game in August or September. They have not done that since 2012.
