A sobering thought.........
In the season 2002/2003, Sunderland accumulated a total of 19 points.
In the season 2005/2006, Sunderland accumulated a total of 15 points.
Adding the total points together of when Sunderland were last in the Prem league comes to a total of 34 points.
In the 2005/2006 season, Birmingham finished 3rd bottom of the prem league, with 34 points.
It took Sunderland TWO seasons to accumulate the same number of points.
