Sunderland's poor form going into the Christmas period has not left their supporters feeling all that festive.

The Black Cats were held to a 1-1 draw at home to Coventry City - a result which sees them drop to 10th in League One.

As a result, Phil Parkinson's side now sit three points outside of the top six and eight outside of the automatic promotion spots.

Parkinson will no doubt have hoped for a better start at Sunderland manager, having won just two of his opening 11 fixtures in charge.

The Christmas period is normally a time for joy and the Black Cats are certainly playing their part off the field with the news that Stewart Donald has donated 100 tickets to the Gift Of Football initiative.

While many supporters have hailed the Sunderland chairman for his generous gesture, others couldn't help but take the opportunity to aim a sly dig at the less-than impressive form on the pitch

Here's what some of the supporters had to say on social media.
