SAFC and NUFC since the Saudi takeover

It’s an inferiority complex you have, you’re convinced in your own head that you matter that much to Newcastle fans. Some maybe? But the vast majority of the fans I know and talk to, couldn’t care less.

We are on two entirely separate journeys but we now cross paths again, twice a season.

You think that because you’re back in the PL and you occasionally fill the stadium now, that keeps Newcastle fans awake at night? Get over yourself man :lol:

We’ve had a couple of trips to Wembley, a trophy in the bag, a couple of seasons in the champions league… Sunderland reappearing in the PL barely registers in comparison.

You’ve done your job this season, stayed up at a canter and thats to be commended in fairness. Now your only aim is to finish above Newcastle. We got to the semis in the LC, are still in the FA cup and deep in the CL. You’re not going to convince me you’re naive enough to think our campaigns this season are even remotely similar despite league positions as they sit now. You reckon if Newcastle only had one game a week, we’d be in the same league position?
Yet here you are one a Sunderland message board but you couldn't care less.

Finish above them or not we’ve already got plenty over them this season.

To make the progress we have and be in the position we are with 9 games to go is nothing short of amazing.

They gave us

Relegated, lowest points total
Played no one
Wait till the derby
AFCON

I’m looking forward to the ‘second season syndrome’ being rolled out soon.

Despite all of the above they will celebrate finishing above us (if of course that happens) like they’ve pipped Arsenal to the premier league.

Black and white bastards
They started the second season syndrome and wait until they have to sell all their best players as soon as it became clear their original hopes, relegated lowest points etc, weren’t going to happen

All our best players that none of them have heard of 🤣

Out of the FA Cup by the way. £800m spent and still a distinctly average PL team who need a ‘reset’ according to many and a rethink in terms of strategy and recruitment. Different paths indeed.
 
The Saudi takeover of Newcastle United F.C. was completed 7 October 2021. �
📊 League positions at the moment of takeover

⚫⚪ Newcastle United (Premier League)
19th place (relegation zone)

🔴⚪ Sunderland AFC (League One – 3rd tier)
4th place in League One around the same week

Approx transfer spend since Oct 2021 (taken from Transfermkt site)

Sunderland
~£150-170m
Newcastle
~£550-750m

Newcastle have spent roughly:
4 to 5 times more than Sunderland

So despite ;

- a starting position of 2 divisions above
- spending 4-5 times more money since then

Newcastle have less points and are currently below Sunderland in the Premier League with 9 games of the season left.

Frankly astonishing.
FTM

Loudest chant at the Saudi arena last night “We hate Sunderland” as City knocked you out of the cup

I noticed that too. Of all their delusions, the one some of them spout about not caring about how Sunderland are doing is the least convincing. Maybe some young supporters who’ve only experienced Newcastle being at least a division above might just be a bit ignorant, but the rest of them know, and care. Quite sweet really.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a more ironic post on here, ever.
We don't care about Sunderland and let me tell you why at 7:11am on a Saturday morning on a forum not affiliated with my club :lol:

Sunderland not on your mind again? 😂

Barcelona on Tuesday but posting on a Sunderland message board to remind them that you're not bothered 🤡 🤣
Yeah Barcelona on a Tuesday so that means I definitely can’t post anywhere online or say anything to anyone :lol:

You were the one saying you and your fellow mags weren't bothered about Sunderland not me.

And you're the liar who's made a total mug of yourself repeatedly on this very thread 😂

I was just responding in kind, you all had lots to say when one of the best teams in Europe knocked Newcastle out. I was just interested in your thoughts on the mighty Port Vale destroying you :lol:

Quite a remarkable achievement for a team “that’s come so far catching up the mags who have spent 6 trillion” etc :lol::lol:
