Not a major trophy. If you count that you have to count our World Championship.

94-2006 pretty much every season. About 15 in total off the top of my head. 14 more than you lot.
Few years? Just about every year post 93 and also most the 00s up until 2007 when Ashley joined. Oh and I'm sure I was in Lisbon for Benfica away 2013

What does being in Europe mean these days? Can finish 8th and get in man. We won 6 league titles. Can you top that?

Alkmaar
Rome
Milan
Turin
Moscow

Monaco
Metz
Halmstads
Budapest
Sofia
Zurich
Tblisi
Athens
Vigo
Istanbul
Palermo
And I'm sure I've missed a fair few. Pretty extensive impressive list of European away trips.
Infact in the last 30 years if you take out the current "big 6" I don't think any other club has played as many games in Europe as NUFC. I think we probably have more than Man City as well.
So about 15 times in 65 year, like I said European goliaths.
Never said Goliaths just that we have an extensive European record which we do.
Since 1990 I bet the top 5 clubs with most appearances in Europe are
Man u
Liverpool
Tottenham
Chelsea
Arsenal
NUFC

Why start at 1990?
Ah that's right, that's when you had your so called glory years and won absolutely fuck all.
Like I said a goliath of a club.

What's Sunderlands equivalent list? Be about 1 team long wouldn't it?
You'd kill for a list like that binxy lad

Very impressive, looks like you’re up there with the likes of Cardiff, Wrexham, Bangor, etc..., though to be fair, they only managed to qualify by winning cups.

Then we have @Secret Visage trying to laugh at Newcastles European record when Sunderland have a list about 1 or 2 teams long. Like comparing millwalls European record with Arsenal
Yes, we’ve won nowt, but do you support a team because they win things? If so, they’d only be have a dozen teams with support.Why start at 1990?

I’ve been supporting Newcastle home and away since 1972. Winning something would be nice, but winning nothing won’t have any bearing on my support.

Impressive list and I wish I had the chance to watch Sunderland in half those places as I am sure you had some great days out, but thats what they are days out - no silverware in the recent period. But it remains as 2 seasons in the premiere competition.
Top 6 aside I still rate Ipswich, West Ham and Everton ahead of you as they won something they qualified for. On top of that you have Forest and Villa who won the premiere competition.Wolves, Fulham, Boro and Leeds also trump you by getting to a final. A fellow mag may buy the spin that you are a European heavyweight but the history books show otherwise.

Our lack of winning a trophy is a disgrace. I wouldnt pretend otherwise. Especially some of the teams we have had over the last 25 years. I never claim we are a European heavyweight just that we have an extensive European record and good pedigree in Europe.
As I said in the last 30 years I would be shocked if there is more than 5 clubs who have featured in Europe more than Newcastle.

The same: 0 trophies mate
And yet you still have the nerve to whine and bitch about being hard done by, you lot really haven’t got a clue what being hard done by is.
Imagine if you poor little souls had endured our past 30 years.
