• I made a few minor corrections (MoS, spelling etc), where it was quicker to change them than discuss.
• "their 105th in The Football League and 103rd in the league system of English football." - those numbers don't seem to add up? Comment - In Sunderland A.F.C. seasons there is all of the seasons Sunderland have competed in. They've played in 111 overall including the 1939-40 which was abandoned early. Before joining the football league in 1890-91 they competed in six seasons where they only played FA Cup games. Dicscounting the wars my count on the number of seasons is 111, 105 for football league and 103 in the leauge system.

I make it 101 seasons in the Football League including the abandoned 1939-40 season, 7 in the Premiership, 6 pre-League (cups only), plus an extra 10 war seasons? --Jameboy (talk) 23:16, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

"their 105th in The Football League" - the Premier League is not part of The Football League, so last season cannot have been Sunderland's 105th (or anythingth) in The Football League, this needs changing. Also, I can't figure out how they can have spent less seasons in the English league system than in the Football League/Premier League. If you make it 105 in the FL/PL but only 103 in the "league system", could you elaborate as to which two FL/PL seasons you feel were not in the "league system", as I'm at a loss..... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 12:11, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

I see the problem now, I count 100 football league seasons if not counting the abandoned war season. I took the english league system style from the Bradford City A.F.C. season 2007–08 article and it's just all of the seasons we've been in a league, so premier league and football league combined. If you still think its incorrect just say. Sunderland06 (talk) 14:48, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

Chris is right, it should say seventh season in the Premier League, not 100th in the Football League. --Jameboy (talk) 23:47, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

Can't believe I missed such a glaring mistake, fixed now. Sunderland06 (talk) 10:07, 18 October 2008 (UTC)

• the multi-coloured league table is OTT I think. Readers of this article want to quickly see how Sunderland fared. I prefer the simpler colouring (e.g. Bradford_City_A.F.C._season_2007–08#League_table or you could just show a cut down version of the table with about three to five rows, including the team in question (e.g. Arsenal_F.C._season_2007-08#Premier_League). Done - Removed background colours.

This was a very brief look. Hopefully I'll get time to have a full read through and provide more comments. --Jameboy (talk) 22:44, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
