A good percentage of the population of Sunderland pronounce it as such, mowsy lad.

We shall no doubt be getting the cheesy chips and blue pop jibes shortly.
I do like that they've even got their own joke wrong. It was all about how we said it, but somehow, over the years they've thought it was that we ate and drank it

Don't try and compare the two things. Many pronounce it 'buck'. Is that wrong, baboon?

Well I say "buck" for book tbf (mams fault) but even those that don't I'm struggling to see where the E and W comes in marra. Don't know about you, but many black and whiters say it like a baboon would, Booooook.

Fairs cup star!
f***ing hell man it was an invitational tournament. I demand we have a star on our strip because I think we won the Isle of man pre season trophy in the 80s

You've missed the piss take part of it then?

Originally started as an invitational tournament for clubs in cities that had held trade fairs (Newcastle never done that) then moved away from just invitstional and was awarded to teams on merit via league places, but kept a one club one city rule, meaning several clubs who finished above Newcastle didn't qualify. Uefa started the uefa cup as their third competition after the success of the fairs cup. 61/62 season was when it started allowing 3 clubs per country in awarded on league placing

If you scrape the Championship title with your budget squad and inexperienced manager, will that one be added, too?
As one of your lot happily said, "A trophy is a trophy."
Makes a mockery of the competition in all honesty, certainly not worthy of a gold star.

No, as our other two 2nd division wins aren't on there either.
On the way to winning it Newcastle beat Feyenoord, Inter, Sporting Lisbon, Rangers and Udjpest Dosza. Some big names in there at the time, certainly not the gulf in class between foreign leagues and the english top flight that there is now

Aye, but as your star (lol) falls ever further, countable silverwear also does.
I read it. "A trophy is a trophy".
Squeeze it on there if it happens. If there's room.
So as I said, not worthy of a gold star.
Did a number of teams withdraw during the competition?

Would Sunderland celebrate it if they'd won it?
Most likely.
Would Newcastle pick apart Sunderland's Fairs Cup win had they not won it? Definitely.
