We used to ring the local and ask if whoever had scored against them was in. First time we did it was from a phone box outside The Cliff asking if Arsenal's Scott Marshall was in, they went mental on Graham Fenton night

After the Blackburn match somebody in The Blue Bell rang The Strawberry and asked if "Bobby Fenton" was in. Cue shouting "Is Bobby Fenton in?" Fortunately the reply was "no"
So they then asked if his "brother" Graham was in...

Cue abuse from the other end of the phone :)

Quite a few mags on this forum at the minute, you lot trying to distract yourselves from what's going on at Newcastle?

"Quite a few" :eek::D
Must be 100+ now mind, May be even more.
Still, it's the best footy forum in the UK so not a surprise.

from their point of view they will think at least they had a go, and a good few years as a strong team.

Will always be a sickener though deep down- im still gutted about our relegation under smith in 91, as im convinced we would have done ok the season after when the premier money came in.
Im still gutted Reidy knocked Europe back twice the stubborn moron, and that we never pushed on them two seasons or under bruce when we sold bent and plummeted.

and after allardyce!

As a sunderland fan growing up then in north Tyneside it went from late 80s/early 90s both teams on a par/shite/no money, not that many fans, and general interest in newcastles team was lukewarm

as soon as they got keegan in, stayed up then started spending crazy money the amount of new fans/gloating/self satisfied gloating was pure torture

especially as we were enduring cunnington/ buxton/butcher/ian rogerson then bob 'coconuts not peanuts' transfer spree that all got wiped out driving the wrong way around a roundabout!

and the 'WHOSE NEXT' season ticket advert with the photos of cunnington etc then a mystery man with a question mark in it.

When we moved to the sol I thought it would always be as good as that/would be established like everton or someone, but we have made so many shite choices.

It was hilarious. Only three teams were spending any money at the time. Man U Blackburn and the mags. Man U won every trophy going Blackburn won the league and the mags won sweet FA. They will never have a chance like that again and they blew it.

I was working at an automotive Nissan supplier at the time and it was about a 50:50 split.

One of the mags had done a characature of Keegan holding the Premier League trophy and had it pinned on the wall next to his desk.

One of the Sunderland lads arrived early the day after they blew it and very carefully doctored it so that Keegoons gormless grinning pyet now had tears running down it. He also carefully and stylishly added the words "In your dreams Jellyspine".

After the torrid time we'd had for the previous 4 years it was f+cking brilliant.
 
I remember Morrissey playing at the city hall about a year or so after and revealing a tamborine with Cantona written on it. The dirty mags among us were dribbling with rage!!
 
I thought they had won it when they beat us 2-1 at the Riverside. Asprilla came off the bench and tortured us. Think that might have been the game they went 12 points clear.

A defence with rubbish like Barton, Howey, Albert, Beresford in it should never win the league. Justice was done.

Approx 12%. Mostly piss takes or mags bumping them

What's truly amazing is that the threads are obviously blatant piss takes ...... yet the mice still come flooding on to fling themselves into the traps :lol:

This thread has Mags on it yet history can't be changed, Newcastle had the title in their grasp and blew it.

But, for some reason, they believe that what Sunderland have or haven't done mitigates that collapse.

It doesn't and a million posts from the SMB Mags can't change the facts ...... yet here they are banging their heads against the forum walls.

They come on knowing they'll be laughed at but just can't resist ..... it's absolutely weird.
