    After a shaky start to the season Sunderland look pretty decent now. Anyone else think they can grab one of the automatic spots? McCarthy doing a great job (again) with all his Irish rejects McAteer, Breen, and Babb (good to see he has recovered from castrating himself on that post at anfield trying to keep out casiraghi!)

    sunderland are shoite.even if they get promoted they will finish bottom of the premiership in 2005. Im sick of pro- mccarthy sentiment on this board. he couldnt even score a point in the premiership with sunderland last year.

    I wouldn't mind seeing Scumderland back in the oul Premier League, just to see McCarthy's face when he travels to Old Trafford and his team get stuffed four or five nil, with Keano having the game of his life.

    I don't think they'll make it in automatically, but could do it in the playoffs, judging by theit performance against one of their possible playoff opponents Sheff Utd I'd say they have a strong chance of playing Premiership football next season.

    Yep I'd be delighted to see Sunderland back in the Premiership. McCarthy is a good manager and this season he has proved it. Last year he took over a Sunderland team that were already doomed and considering they lost several key players before the start of this season he has done well. Also from the point of view of us Irish supporters I think its better that the Ireland players on his team play Premiership footy instead of Division 1.

    Twosheds just doesn't like Sunderland cause he's a bit of a toon ;)

    Yeah, I was looking forward to a similar scenario in Cardiff, but Millwall had to go screw it up.
