they made the playoff final both years

think we're going to do that this year?? We'll be lucky to finish in the top half so to compare us with them is ridiculous.

        Avoiding relegation once does not make you an established Premier League side (n/m) (NCFC) - Brom, Feb 15, 15:18:17
        
        It goes a further way to that aim than not avoiding relegation. (n/m) (NCFC) - Arganth, Feb 15, 15:22:14

        How many poor season should a manager be allowed before action is taken (n/m) (NCFC) - earlydoors, Feb 15, 15:17:31
        
        Was last year really that poor a season ? (NCFC) - Arganth, Feb 15, 15:20:13
        
        Results wise, probably not that bad. (NCFC) - Arizona Bay, Feb 15, 15:51:11
        
        It's a results driven game though. (n/m) (NCFC) - Arganth, Feb 15, 15:59:14
        
        Well, that's a whole other argument. (NCFC) - Arizona Bay, Feb 15, 16:08:03
        
        Compared to Wigan and West Ham's...yes (NCFC) - duke of york, Feb 15, 15:28:10
        
        As below, Wigan and WHam have cash, Sunderland don't. (NCFC) - Arganth, Feb 15, 15:30:25
        
        It was that attitude that got us relegated (n/m) (NCFC) - Brandonio, Feb 15, 15:26:46
        
        really (NCFC) - mazing_marie89, Feb 15, 15:33:47
        
        the attitude of the club last season was a disgrace... (NCFC) - Brandonio, Feb 15, 15:36:15
        
        spot on, pardew b4 arsenal away "we are here to win" (NCFC) - otbc2006, Feb 15, 15:41:13
        
        last season wasnt a success. This season isnt a success. (NCFC) - earlydoors, Feb 15, 15:22:24
        
        er, yeah (NCFC) - mazing_marie89, Feb 15, 15:25:01
        
        last season was successful was it? (n/m) (NCFC) - earlydoors, Feb 15, 15:28:42
        
        In that case, how many seasons of no success have the club had since 1902 ? (NCFC) - Arganth, Feb 15, 15:23:55
        
        How many managers would be allowed to underperform for so long (NCFC) - earlydoors, Feb 15, 15:26:38
        
        Walker did, Stringer did, Brown did, Bond did, Saunders did. (NCFC) - Arganth, Feb 15, 15:29:20
        
        No they didnt. tell me which 2 seasons in a row that they underperformed. (n/m) (NCFC) - earlydoors, Feb 15, 15:31:34
        
        Can't be arsed. Tell me, apart from the obvious, when they did. (n/m) (NCFC) - Arganth, Feb 15, 15:33:42
        
        I knew I had you there. candy from a baby and all that (n/m) (NCFC) - earlydoors, Feb 15, 15:36:08
        
        Well no, I have other more interesting and pressing things to do. (NCFC) - Arganth, Feb 15, 15:39:09

        Got you here again then. You are making it way too easy. (NCFC) - earlydoors, Feb 15, 15:46:54
        
        What did we win those years ? Nothing. (n/m) (NCFC) - Arganth, Feb 15, 16:01:20
        
        So being an established top flight club would be failure to you then (NCFC) - earlydoors, Feb 15, 16:04:41
        
        It wasn't success. So, taking it to it's crudest terms, yes. (n/m) (NCFC) - Arganth, Feb 15, 16:11:37
        
        success is the achievement of something desired, planned or attempted (NCFC) - earlydoors, Feb 15, 16:15:44
