Sunderland = Groundhog Day

[domprague]

I went to the match with a mate tonight and he asked me what to expect. I said that we'll look like we deserve to be ahead only to lose 3-1 or 4-1 with a comedy goal or a needless penalty and we'll walk away wondering how that happened. How did I know? Because that's what always happens when we play Sunderland at the Cottage.
I thought we looked OK at 1-0 before MB's howler. They were better than us in the first half but they weren't really threatening in the second. The second goal looked like class - I was in the Hammy End - and the third bore out my prediction. At least that git Johnson didn't score a hat-trick this time.

Thing is Groundhog Day DID eventually end

That is the "loop" did eventually stop

So how/why / when will our Groundhog Day stop - & we start to live again & move forward?

Ah well, we are still in the circle or loop if you prefer - @ the moment

Will it still be the same when I wake up in the morning?

1974-75 Fulham 1 Sunderland 3 (my first visit to the Cottage)
2007-08 Fulham 1 Sunderland 3 (I thought this had sent us down, but it turned out to be a rare blemish during the great escape)
2012-13 Fulham 1 Sunderland 3 (having to sit in the Putney End near a bunch of vile Sunderland fans made it a horrible experience)
2013-14 Fulham 1 Sunderland 4 (would have been 1-3 again, but for a late dodgy penalty)
2014-15 Fulham 1 Sunderland 3 (maybe the incompetent referee tonight was aware of the recurring scoreline – I can't think of any other reason to award that "penalty" in injury time)
I am sick of "Fulham 1 Sunderland 3".
