You f***ing what? Are we talking about the same flare throwing, bus bricking, pitch invading, coin chucking, keeper punching rabid apes?
Talk about selective memory.
They're quick to mention the horse puncher and the way the Bigg Market was smashed up after the FA Cup final but can they fuck remember the carnage they caused in their own city centre after we humped them 4-1. I'm just glad that every pitch incursion that occurs whenever they score in a home derby has been taped by Sky's cameras otherwise they'd have Ministry of Truthed that as well.
Both sets of supporters have their wankers and neither really cover themselves in glory come derby day but at least there's a recognition from our lot when our doylums are caught doing the idiotic. They move heaven and earth to either justify or ignore anything their lot do wrong (which considering the near constant infighting being a Sunderland fan seems to entail is bizarre in itself). I remember some of the speculative shite that was spouted when Darren Bent's mother was abused, which ranged from the complaint being completely false to her hearing but not actually being subject to a light-hearted racist joke. Of course the truth was much grimmer.
I suppose it comes back to the classy club thing, which is essentially part of a wider inferiority complex. They need to better us in any and every way possible and if that means bending the truth then that's fine. Why? "Well, because Sky Sports say that there are 55,000 Mags in St James' Park every week when the stadium actually only holds 52,000 and they don't even play at home every week it's usually every two weeks and sometimes they don't even sell all their tickets and even when they do they're cheap but maybe not as cheap as our free ones but we can give away free ones because the dirty jawdees once gave tickets to recovering drug addicts as part of a community initiative which is much worse than giving them away to school kids and Chinese university students and anyway the scum punch horses and horses are much bigger animals than the dogs we kicked at Central Station and anyway that wasn't our fans that was loads of Maggy bastards who conspired to make us look bad with Northumbria Police and the Magedia which is why we're always last on Look North because Dawn Thewlis, Tim Healy and Ant & Dec hate us 9-1 ftm marra".
Or something like that anyway.
