@Mags - without googling how many seasons did Newcastle play in the Champions League Group Stages? Be honest now...don't google. I accept it is zero for us.

Erm maybe when we were breaking world transfer records, had the 2nd highest gates in England, one of the biggest revenues in Europe. Spanking Man U, beating Barcelona and Juventus at the highest level of the game.

You NEARLY won the league 25 years ago. You didn’t. If you want to console yourself by claiming you were a monster club then you do that. The truth is you’re just another one of England’s clubs. You aren’t and never have been a monster club. Monster clubs win things. You’ve not won a domestic trophy for 65 f***ing years File alongside Everton, Spurs, Villa, Leeds, Sunderland etc all of whom have actually won things since you

The shithole estates of Newcastle are far worse than the Sunderland equivalents.

Ah fuck does this mean they've won the shithole cup as well?

I travel the north east for my job, and there isn’t much in it to be fair to Newcastle equally as bad as Sunderland though, the worst areas in the north east by far are down boro Stockton Darlington area, big camera poles in the streets speed bumps traffic calming on every road rancid!

'the marketeers' WTF?

You couldn’t pay me to sit down and watch two full series of a show dedicated to NUFC. Genuinely. Wouldn’t be interested in the slightest.

PL football featuring good players thats why. You just stick to league one the johnstones paint v champo teams kids and hailing shite like maguire and o nien

I can watch PL football any time I want (well not at the minute like) on the box. Once again, you couldn’t pay me to sit down and watch two series of a show dedicated to NUFC. Wouldn’t be interested in the slightest. Yet here you are telling us how not interested you are but have watched two series of Sunderland Til I Die. Wooden heed.

 

[legend7]

Us scruffy? You lot are the ones who's pitch and stadium resembles a local landfill

Why do you all keep complaing about how Ashley has ran your shit tip into the ground then, how run down and shabby it is even in corporate.
It looks like someone gave a blind kid 3 lego kits of 3 different stadiums and he mixed them all up and built that wonky monstrosity by feel alone.
Your forums must be no better either as you're all on ours.
Should change your name to Wolfbored as you're dull as fuck with your generic age old shit crack replies.
As you were.

really? i thought it was a great insight into the inner workings of a football club, it could have been any team and i'd have watched it, you've got too admit though it was funny, i was surprised they actuall aired it , presumably they needed the cash

Most neutrals I've spokeb who've seen it sympathise with us and thought it showed Sunderland and it's fans in a good light, despite the dire situation

Twice in the Champions league and seven times in the UEFA yet they go on has they're one of Europe's elite clubs.

Close, 1997-98 and 2002-03.

Just before lockdown there was a mag on Talksport and whilst I forget his exact words, he indicated that it was year in year out!. Whilst I remember bits Barca/Asprilla etc. I had no idea of how many years it was as I am not obsessed by Newcastle.

Yes, 2 not year in year out. Better, in fact infinitely better, that us but its laughable to suggest you are, or ever were, some kind of European superpower.

Just 100% out. I rest my case.

This is what I don't get, the thick fuckers think this is where they should be and it's Ashley holding them back when in fact history suggests otherwise.

tbf ive never pretended that we were a european super team, and ive never punched a horse, if , and its a big if, this takeover happens then that could all change as a massive investment is predicted, but I wouldnt be surprised if Ashley managed to mess it up in someway, he's sucked the life out of the club, as a money / business man you have to respect what he has achieved, ( not the way hes achieved it )but hes just not a football man

i can honestly say that we hardly discuss yous now, apart from maybe having a laugh at netflix, (1st season was hialrious- 2nd season was ok) SAFC is irrelevant in footballing terms anyway, Of course there will always be a sense of rivalry but not even the most devoted cheesy chip muncher can compare the two teams in a football sense.

The Netflix situation is curious. It put Sunderland AFC in the shop window to a global audience that will not have been aware of them or their heritage.

I have to think, however, the producers sold this on the expectation of a narrative arc which always plays well to an American audience. I would describe it as the Rocky Bilbao or Karate kid narrative whereby the finale is a glory scene with victory after all the hardship. That glory was to be promotion to the Premier League.

It is a very fickle country for re-commissioning stories about failure. Are they to sanction another 4 series in the hope it delivers on that original narrative arc. I would think not.

For a brief period it may well have attracted the Dell investor group and offered a clear sight line for future success.

Yet, somehow it fucked up? Rarely has such a bad hand been played with a decent set of cards. It may come to pass as the major sliding doors moment in the club’s history?

As small time as I think you lot are and filled with too much bitterness towards all things Newcastle I do admire your numbers and passion. It's what sets the north east apart

I dont get this bitterness towards Newcastle crack. I like the city, my Daughter lives there, it looks impressive as you come over the bridge and it's a good night out
With regards to football, there's nothing to be bitter about imo.

We have had plenty of UEFA cup campaigns too tbf. Made the knockout stages of that about 4 times off the top of my head too.

This is what I don't get, the thick fuckers think this is where they should be and it's Ashley holding them back when in fact history suggests otherwise.

History' says that the 10 years pre Ashley we were in Europe for 9 of them years.

13 years with Ashley we have been in Europe 1 year. That's the problem

very well put , I wonder how much SAFC got paid for the show, and if they still think it was an advisable route to follow?

<<<this Football should be separate from the economies or place. But I’m recent years mags attack everything and anything Sunderland. But to be fair it’s probably not from the mags of Newcastle who do it.....more so it will be the insecure ones from towns miles away from Newcastle. Places like Durham, Chester le street, Burnley, Darlington etc. Ones having an identity crisis

 

[Deleted member 42657]

The animosity between supporters has lasted decades so you’re kidding yourself if you think it’s going anywhere soon.
Newcastle could be the most successful team in the world but Sunderland will always and rightly so be the rival. To people of my age it’s Ridiculous to think anything but.

Yes, but I remember a situation whereby for a brief period Manchester United felt like the enemy.

It would not be good if our rivalry became more like a Real Madrid / Getafe situation.

Maybe there could be a cup draw in the future between the clubs? If so the BBC can jump on it, complete with Ronny Radford library pictures and do all the cliches of giant killings, David and Goliath, plucky minnows against gilded big boys.

Of course I exaggerate to emphasise my point but is such a scenario not the most likely playbook for the next time these two clubs play each other?
