What is the secret sauce behind the SMB?

[AndyGray1985]

Yes. 4-1. Iirc bracewell crossed it Or possibly Peter Reid

Bracewell to Reid. Cross to AG

Bracewell to Reid. Cross to AG

I remember it now, bracewell, left footed, to Reid, cross, gray diving header.

miserable day

Read the @ShieldsBlackCat2015 thread on this matter, which has mountains of advice.

If it isn't in Gold, it should be.

Aye, my beautiful diagram I did for him in that thread still makes me chuckle

A lot of football forums tend to die on their arse after a while, but the SMB has maintained its core user base and kept growing and growing. Why do we think our little corner of the internet so successful compared to other footy messageboards?

Memes. And in-jokes.

I'm not sure I could explain the "having a shower with the dog" thread to anyone if I tried.

Liked Trevor Stevens goal even better that day. You'll be thinking of the 3-0 with the same sort of fondness in a few years

I’m thinking of a 3-1 to safc in 1980 and another 3-0 last league win at Roker park, just to cheer myself up

It was indeed.

I know SAFC has had it's own Andy Gray and thought it would be a fitting username, but it was taken. Hence the 1985. Lurked for ages before I made it

We've had a few Gray's down the years.
Phil, Mickey, and Martin, readily spring to mind.

I was there, and we weren't actually as bad as the scoreline suggested.

Better get back on topic (but another great feature on this site is the relaxed moderation )

Some over the road keep saying we are going to the dogs

Not sure where they get this info from

Gave it a go and it's slow and dull - and those over there know it

Chebs died a death

I vaguely remember a learned (and often heated) discussion on one thread about which part of the the body "cheb" actually referred to.

And the SMB were discussing the disappearance of white dog shit long before it became a staple of comedy club comedians.

 

[Left For Dead]

Is it the most successful football forum? I always like it when I google some shit and google throws up a link to the SMB mind

I seen somebody reading the smb on a bus in Rome as I was going past- looked like a tourist but ye never knaa

How did you know about smb in first place - seems scouser are next biggest demographic using this forum after mags

Why do people "lurk for ages" before joining ?

What kind of sad voyeurism is this ?

Agreed.
Time for a brew, so will catch you later, mate

Chebs died a death

I blame me too

It wasn't you. It was killed off as soon as the Zanies got it on Night Owls.

More often that not, the SMB is my first place of call for breaking news stories. Which says more about BBC and Sky than anything else.

Used to be able to go on PC's in airport terminals and ofte find rtg/SMB already in the cache and occasionally still logged in.

Rare now since we all have it on our phones

I've read the SMB on a bus in Rome. I wonder if I was me

It might have been me in Rome...

I found it before a match many moons ago to see what the mackems where thinking... Stuck around after a few sporadic visits...

 

[Ghfd]

I’ve never been to Rome. I’ve been to Milan though and there were no geordies

Did know what to bring to the discussion. Other boards are not as welcoming to other clubs supporters
