Honours list

On the Honours list is says "First division/Premier League" I think this is misleading as they have never won the premier League and how it is presented seems to insinuate that they won a mixture of both, I believe this should be updated to just be "first division" BBennett1994 (talk) 19:12, 29 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

BBennett1994 I agree and made some changes. WA8MTWAYC (talk) 19:29, 29 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Lede

"Between 1891 and 1939, "The Black Cats", as they are known – in addition to their six league titles – finished in the bottom half of the league only ten times, and finished in the top seven 28 times. Since World War II, their league performances have been considerably poorer, only finishing in the top half nine times (1947, 1949, 1950, 1953, 1955, 1956, 2000, 2001 and 2011), and only reaching the top seven four times (1950, 1955, 2000 and 2001). Furthermore, they have been relegated eleven times, and just over half of this period has been spent in the top flight (41 out of 76 seasons); of the 35 seasons in which they were outside the top flight, five have been spent in the third tier."

Far too much detail for the lede, per WP:LEDE and WP:UNDUE, not to mention not of interest to the casual reader. Discuss, @IGrisha:. Seasider53 (talk) 22:31, 26 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
