"Vee, haayyte, Sunderland!"

Lol, I wondered how long it would take for this story to hit this site as it was on the FRONT PAGE of The Sun. Talk about a slow news day.

I'm also wondering this. Was thinking Fluid perhaps, but not sure. Fluid?, I havent been in there for about 2 years but I dont think it will have the best bar atmosphere though. Sam Jacks or the Vault probably is your best bet I reckon. Certainly Sam Jacks pre match.

I hate the current top, I wish Canterbury, those people who make the rugby shirts and Pompeys would make ours. A nice sleek slim fitting style like the rugby shirts they do would look class especially on those of us who are quite 'toned'. I apreciate the big fat lads wouldnt much like it though.

Twenty years ago when our city and their town were close in terms of economy and status and the football clubs were pretty equal too, they still had a chip on their shoulder about Newcastle being considered the regional capital. The last couple of decades has seen Newcastle's status soar to become a well known European centre, rated by many as England's best looking city and our football club (last couple of seasons apart) become a top English team with regular European football. Meanwhile their city is a dump which is rarely heard of nationwide unless some bright spark has been firing rockets out of his arse or something similar. At the same time their football club has been a laughing stock now given false hope by some faceless Irish "businessmen" of dubious credentials. It's little wonder that the jealousy and vitriol which always lingered is now raging towards insanity. The thread you mention from SMB could (should ?) be the subject of a whole psychiatric seminar.

That just about sums it up mate, and what makes them hate us even more is the fact that we know the above to be true.

Aye I always liked him, stems back to USA 94 I think. Class player.

Fuckin hell, just reading through that Geordie hatred thread on RTG and one lad wants "A terrorist attack in Newcastle to wipe the fuckers out!" Fuckin hell, they fuckin hate us beyond belief really!

To the tune of 'cheer up peter reid'. "Fuck Off Roy Keane, Oh what can it mean, To a, Dog Wankin bastard, And his, shit football team!"

Nah sorry mate I dont, but if you search youtube a couple of days after the game you will find someone has probably filmed some of it. If you search youtube now there is a vid of our fans arriving at Sunderland this year.

Aye haha! Anyone ever stood next to where the away fans come in at SJP when we play the Mackems? A big mob with a glint in their eye seems to gather behind the barriers and rows of coppers awaiting the enemy, then those god awful double deckers pull up, thousands of Mackems come pouring out all pissed up and rowdy then the Geordies spark up, with songs back and forth and the odd couple of nutcases (on both sides) try to smash through the coppers and barriers for a fight. The police horses go mental whilst the coppers are shitting themselves while trying to maintain their fragile grip on law and order. A couple of derbys back one Mackem thought it would be a good idea to punch a Police horse only for the horse to hardly flinch and the Mackem nearly break his hand! Are you on about the turnstile area, on that corner? If so i've seen plenty of banter between the away fans, mainly Boro like. Can't wait for this match now like. Aye.

I dunno, its hard to say really, on paper looking at the two teams we have the players to thrash them good and proper if we are at our best and they are slightly off form but we know it rarely goes like that for us.

Aye, you divvent want to mess with horses tbh.

Coins off your heed tbh.

My plan is a 7:00am meet in a local pub which shall remain un-named! Free food, strippers (Probably munters, but what can you expect at that time on a Sunday morning?), the works, I just hope we fuckin win!!! Im seriously gonna have to pace mesell if I am gonna last through the game and the subsequent (I hope) celebrations. Bring it on!!!!

I agree with most of the above with Walcotts run being the latest one. Some more: Shearer against Chelsea where he turned Desailly and lashed it in the top corner. Bergkamp V Argentina France 98. Rob Lee Header against Chelsea at Wembley. Giggs V Arsenal 99 Semi.

What we need is to send Shearer over to see him and give him the old "offer he cant refuse" treatment. You know, the one which involves a knuckle sandwich if he says no.

Meh...Bring back Griffin tbh. We've got our RB slot sorted for at LEAST 3 seasons imo as he is a natural athlete and I reckon he could play for us till he's 35 easy.

As someone who never doubted Owen (well maybe a little ) I take geat joy in this thread and his performances! Keep it up Mickey

Yeah but this one is strange, everyone here will probably agree, that the way the stadium has been designed makes the crowd seem 'quieter' not 'louder'.

Well, we should win but this is EXACTLY the type of game where millions of times in the past we have got a few wins and come into the next game thinking we are the 'billy big bollocks' thinking we only have to turn up to win only to be incredibly shit and ruin all our good work. Seen it happen time and time again, lets hope it doesnt on saturday.

It should also be noted that the Bundesliga has 18 teams and Germany has a population of 82 million whereas the Premier League has 20 teams and England a population of 50 million.

What? Who said we could 'easily' fill 60,000? We have attracted around 50,000 fans for the last 4 years despite being shite. And yes we only sell out against those sides but its not like we have thousands upon thousands of empties against everyone else, every league match is 95% full no matter who we are playing.

Yes, well in the good old days you could pay on the day for every game home and away, which is why when we were s**** we regularly had crowds well under 20,000. I can remember going one week and being able to wander all over the terrace, the next game being locked out, and back to wandering the week after. It's fear that we might get things right again and the problem not having a season ticket that continues to drive sales. If there were thousands of sell on the door seats we'd look just as bad as the mackems or smogs. People say things like "Its only cause we have loads of season ticket holders that it wasnt a bad attendance"etc etc. I dont get why many people see the fact that we have so many season ticket holders in a negative way, like its so easy to afford and pay for a season ticket or something. The fact that we sell so many in the first place is outstanding and should only add to the reputation of our support, not go against it.
