    Is it cup winning Pompey?
    Is it Champions League Leeds?
    Is it premiership regulars Bolton?

    Or is it that little club down the road?

    ‘tis the season to go fishing.....

    I’ve surprised myself and gone for the Mackems.

    a few months ago they were going to rival Man City.

    Now they are dreading Burton.

    Useless Sunderland, without doubt. Relegated in consecutive seasons, losing the play off final, countless managers, STID, shifty owner, takeover fail, what's not to like? <laugh> And things could get a lot worse <laugh>

    Local bias aside, I'd go for Leeds. They were top class for years and years, their fall from grace is staggering and people to this day fear big clubs "doings a Leeds"

    Sunderland were always ****e.

    Overall it's got to be Leeds. Imagine a champions League team dropping down to league 1 now.

    When the mackems end up playing non League football then I might change my mind.

    Recent history suggests it's inevitable

    In the premier league era when have Sunderland even been a remotely good side? Didn't Bruce achieve their highest ever finish in like 10th?

    Portsmouth by a country mile. Let's have now bounced back.
    Sunderland is a recent one by will get there.

    Bolton are more recent so for longevity and no sign of making it anywhere near the PL had to be Pompey

    Well; they won. At the rate they are going drawing against the mighty Bolton is a massive win.
