Sunderland’s David Moyes turns the Stadium of Light into a darkened room

by | 1st, November 2016

After a match Sunderland manager David Moyes sits in the dark. “I probably spend Saturday night, and quite often, in a darkened room somewhere,” sys Moyes.

Sunderland are bottom of the Premier League. So bad are they that having been gifted parity in their last match against Arsenal – a penalty got them into a game they should have been losing 4 or 5 nil –  the Mackems conspired to let in three goals. “Sunday gets a wee bit better,” adds Moyes, Sunderland’s seventh manager in the past five years, “but not much, and hopefully by the time Monday morning comes, you are ready to go again.”

What a life, eh. That bit about a “darkened room somewhere” fingers the spine. Anywhere without a light will do for Moyes on a Saturday night. Lock up your rabbit hutches. (On the lighter side, at least Mrs Moyes get to go to the cinema with her husband.)

Sunderland are now the holders of the worst start in Premier League history after 10 matches. They have amassed two points. As Moyes sits in the dark – and how’s that for a vision of the boss whose team play at The Stadium of Light –  he can try to work out if there are three worse sides in the Premier League who can ensure Sunderland avoid relegation and stay up.
