As for the Bournemouth game itself, it was an improvement on the Middlesbrough horror show, but even when Sunderland put in a relatively decent performance, they still find a way to lose and that's why we're the worst team in the Premier League. I am agreeing with them.
Josh King struck for Bournemouth with time running out as Sunderland came forward in search of the victor, with the visitors having played much of the game's more positive football.
"But, being a football supporter, the manager is probably an easy target - that's it".
David Moyes has got to take responsibility as has the owner.
Moyes' future looks to be in question at the Stadium of Light, as well, all three are key building blocks for the club next season.
The Scot - a candidate to succeed Gordon Strachan as his country's coach this summer - readily agreed that relegation represented a personal nadir before apologising to Sunderland fans. Not good enough for this season and probably not up to scratch for next term either. Leave Sunderland, having led the club into the Championship, and it is hard to see which other high-profile clubs would be keen to employ him. "Yes, 100 per cent", was his answer when asked recently if he is a better manager now then he was during his reign at Everton. "But the decision is not up to me this summer".
Midtable Leicester moved nine points clear of the bottom three with four matches remaining.

"There has been a lot of good managers relegated, and I'll use it as something to motivate myself", said Moyes. Within weeks of his sacking, his replacement, Eusebio Sacristan, had La Real fighting for a European spot.
It is a remarkable fall from grace for Moyes, who was placed in charge of Manchester United just four years ago after being given the surprise job of replacing the legendary Sir Alex Ferguson.
His aura of self-importance has fooled some, though.
David Moyes looked to have been given a stay of execution as with 91 minutes on the clock and the game goalless, Southampton were awarded a penalty.
Sunderland had some chances but top scorer Jermain Defoe was not at his sharpest and, not for the first time this season, the home supporters flooded out of the ground before the final whistle.
The Black Cats' slip back into the Championship comes after 10 years in the top division, and in truth it's been coming for some time. Moyes appears utterly incapable of either.
