I'm not,its the having their colours on that I dont get.
In the 80's me and my mate would often pop along to Roker when we were away and watch Sunderland,at the time we just loved football games and the atmospheres .The ones doing it now I doubt are the same but in truth they dont look the type to want to do it for a rise,yes some do clearly but maybe they dont realise how obsessed they look? Dunno,its weird .

Are they, going of memory sure we averaged around 43k in PL and wasn't it 32ish last season? So where does this 20k come from?

I quite like Newcastle but, let's be honest, it's just a big city with good and bad like any other.

If it didn't have Sunderland to 'be better than' it wouldn't have such a deluded opinion of itself.

It's like a fat lass having an even fatter mate to make her look slim ;)

Totally agree.

Newcastle city centre has good and bad. The good is better** than the comparative good in Sunderland due to the disparity in investment funding.
Manchester city centre has good and bad. The good is better than the comparative good in Newcastle due to the disparity in investment funding.

Neither of the above means that Sunderland or Newcastle are shit-holes just not as nice as their wealthier 'competition'.

I have had days on the drink in all of the above (admittedly only a few in Sunderland) and have thoroughly enjoyed them all.

** There could be a valid argument that Sunderland's lack of places like House of Smith, Perdu and whatever else is on the ludicrously, self titled, Diamond Strip is an advantage.
 
Shit crack just singing about the mags. That and the wallsend chant. Only songs that seemed to be sung.

I think this behaviour is still common. There was some research done that showed there are many fans at grounds around the uk who don’t support either side normally. It makes sense when you think about, if you are in London visiting your QPR supporting mate and he invites you to a game of course you say yes. Sometimes you can get a cheap ticket, sometimes you are curious about visiting a new stadium. Sometimes you just want to see a game of football.

Definitely, but going to a Sunderland game with a Newcastle top on is just asking for a slap/trouble.I saw the 2 idiots taking the obvious piss at your home games and quite rightly we’re roundly condemned as wankers, however there does seem to be some who seem oblivious to how obsessed they look.Ive sat at Newcastle home games and had Man U tops /Rangers/Celtic/Liverpool sitting in front of me at games none were playing.Not saying this is why they do it I’m just giving a different slant, it Is as I’ve said though bizarre.
 
#Boycott Arsenal is trending in the UK this morning.

Honestly on the back of this it will actually be as funny as fuck if they do get a result today, seriously. Not one who wants to see the mags doing well, but if they do it will burst the narrative that Rafa was the wrongfully treat saviour of the club and everything is Ashley's fault :lol:
