Seems no one was that arsed until Everton went to UEFA in 1975 claiming it was an unfair rule to which they agreed.
The football league.
Just says 'honours' so will obviously include the lesser ones too.

Of course we qualified for it, the Fairs Cup allocated places and our FA decided how to allocate them, same as they did for the Uefa Cup and now the Europa League. The FA decided it would be the highest placed teams behind the Champions and they applied the 1 club 1 city rule until the mid 70’s. That was the qualifying criteria and it is a fact. I’ve already covered why Uefa don’t list it under their honours list and also shown where they acknowledge it as the predecessor to the Uefa Cup and list 6 consecutive winners of the competition from England in a period where the competition changed from the Fairs Cup to the Uefa Cup.
It wasn't the FA.

Seriously - trying to dismiss the Fairs Cup as some kind of friendly invitation event? Desperation time. 73 is a far more valid comeback.
No one gives a fuck about it. Teams who have won trophies never mention it. Even you weren't fussed about it until relatively recently.

Surely if it were as you day, then Leeds would have qualified

Another undercover mag … fuck me this place is lifting with them.
Riviera usually swats these away like flies when they start on trying to convince themselves and us that it's "a proper trophy" Teams pulled out, some teams got a bye and some matches were decided on the toss of a coin
Got to love them they're desperate

First game as a Sunderland supporter 1974/75 season v Notts County at home according to my dad but cant recall it and quite a few over the next two seasons without remembering them that clearly due to my age. Went to most of the end of season games 76/77. Derby at home (Towers pen) sitting in the clock stand. West Ham at home 6-0 (SGR2, Holden 2, Kerr, Lee) QPR at home 1-0 Lee amongst the games. We played about 875 games at home aver the next 35 seasons at which I attended about 868 of them give or take putting me probably in the top 1% of Sunderland match attenders over that period. Out of the games I missed included the championship game against Birmingham when we won 2-1 with Quinn and Phillips due to the fact that it was on the 9/5/99 the date of my daughters birth. Proof if ever there was that i'm a mag
When debating football you can take the view that you are a Sunderland supporter and you push the 'Sunderland argument' irrespective of anything. That's what you do and its stupid. Or you can be objective and say it exactly how it is. The mags are an awful club who have a pathetic sense of entitlement - they are as dishonest about their club as you are about 'yours' - definitely a few mag traits there! However you know and I know that these days they are a bigger club than us. I wasn't always the case.
Remember its you calling me a mag but you have yet at the third time of asking put your games on the table against mine. Your turn
That's exactly where Rafa finished marra. Of course it's legendary.

Aye but have you heard about that tournament that decided who finished where in a group stage by drawing bits of paper out of a bowl in 1990?
Small-time as fuck, I’d hate to celebrate winning a tournament like that over 50 years later. Would be a bit desperate.

Bigger how? Crowds , yes, Top league wins no. Blowing wind up their own arse, them, believing their own lies, them, breaking up innocent phone boxes, them, punching a horse, them, smashing their own town up, them. Oh, being on the end of 6 in a row defeats to their nearest and dearest, them, and being on the receiving end of a record home defeat in the top league, (by their nearest and dearest again) them, again! Shit, by that reckoning, I take my hat off to them (arseholes).
