...and especially our chums at True Faith, as I know you're looking - up yours you black and white bastards.

Fellow SAFC fans, put the twats in their place here - facts, pisstakes, and puerile insults all welcome.

I'll start.

Ask any football fan around the country who won the FA Cup three times in the 1950's, and the answers you'll get will no doubt include Blackpool, Bolton, Wolves, Royal Engineers etc. Actually, it appears it was Newcastle. It must pain them, given their thirst for being recognised as a global superpower and one of the biggest clubs in the world, that hardly any fucker outside NewcastleGateshead knows this. Conversely, Sunderland winning the cup in 1973 is regarded one of the iconic finals of all time, with a number of iconic images to boot (Stokoe embracing Monty, Bobby lifting the cup, Monty's save, Porter's volley etc.). Their iconic cup moment is Ronnie Radford.

"Best supporters in the world." Dyed-in-the-world mag Bob Stokoe, in reference to the Sunderland supporters in a pre-match interview at the 1973 Final.

The Fairs Cup. Ah, a competition so prestigious UEFA wanted fuck all to do with it, and when they did they re-branded the fucker. You'll find Barcelona's replica of the Fairs Cup tucked behind the Catalan Combination League Trophy from 1899, gathering dust. Lots of dust.

St James' Park was overlooked as a venue for the 1966 World Cup because it was shite. Roker Park on the other hand, was a shoe-in as the best ground in the North East. Even as a ghost, it's still better than the Barrack Road carbuncle.

The North East record attendance of 75,118 was set at Roker Park for a match involving Sunderland and Derby; almost 7,000 more than the mags' best effort.

Superb. Best post this year.

:cool::cool:
 
While you are all here. Can you remind me what season you averaged 17000 home attendence ?

Mags. The fans with the most selective memory.
 
You're absolutely right in that Newcastle is the best known place up here.

But, so fuck.

In actual fact, those people you're talking about don't give a fuck about Sunderland or Newcastle, so stop getting the horn over a fantasy scenario. No one outside of this region actually gives a fuck about Newcastle.

:lol::lol::lol:
 
Nile Ranger has four years left on his contract. :lol:

Xisco is still under contract. Bleeding the fuckers dry that lad. Top effort. :lol:
 
I know you guys are proud of your city. Please remember that the players have no such loyalty despite what you believe. On Sunday the only local in the squad will be Shola.
 
Every point in the OP was from before anyone under about 40 was born :lol:

No. "best supporters in the land" The average attendence of 17000 was not 40 years ago.
Selective memory strikes again.
 
ask anyone in the country when you think of the north east, which city do you associate with it? ...........;)

I would say I'm from County Durham. The Only County in England. Where are you from ? Durham is THE CITY in the NE.
