Ill just keep it simple Randy.
Newcastle will never play in the third tier.
Sunderland will never play in the champions league.
Durham?![]()
...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.
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.
Nile Ranger has four years left on his contract.
Xisco is still under contract. Bleeding the fuckers dry that lad. Top effort.![]()
Are you trying to make us chomp into a slim jim?
What are youbdoing for the match now that teletext has gone forever?
Every point in the OP was from before anyone under about 40 was born![]()
got any insightful transfer news mate
Every point in the OP was from before anyone under about 40 was born .
No. "best supporters in the land" The average attendence of 17000 was not 40 years ago.
Selective memory strikes again.
Heard O'Neill isn;t happy with Fletcher's hold up play and is looking to swap him with the lad Heskey at the Jets, just what am hearing mind.
ask anyone in the country when you think of the north east, which city do you associate with it? ...........![]()
