Whilst the Premier League season has barely begun, Sunderland football club are currently, as Alan Partridge would day, moribund.
With their own manager wading into the sides disastrous start, by commenting post Norwich defeat:
“What was so wrong was I saw players – and I don’t want to mention names, it was the whole team, with the exception of one or two players – and they did things that I don’t expect from a player at this level. I have to know why that can happen because it’s really strange for me. You can play badly, but not even knowing what to do is even worse. I’m really shocked.”
Ouch.
Well it’s suddenly got even worse for the Black Cats as their very own shirt sponsor, Dafabe – ‘Asia’s No. 1 online betting and gaming site’, has made them 5/8 favourites for the drop in light of defeats to fellow potential candidates Leicester and Norwich.
If you really feel like throwing your hard earned money away, you can bet on Dick Advocaat’s side to reach the Champions League with a very generous 1000/1.
Harsh, harsh but true….but still harsh
