didn't it win "best save" when they had those awards after 10 years of the PL?

I like it how both fans seem to recall derbies in recent years, even the 2 times they beat us, I hear them referring to them as "the 2-1 in the rain" and "the 2-1 Shearer penalty" or something similar. Its never "the 2-1 sewpaaa kev" or "the 2-1 with quinn's header". They're happy to mention how we fucked up, if you like (the 2-1 Shearer penalty) rather than heap praise on their goal scorers.

Burglars Dog sums them up perfectly... "While I'm on the subject of regional stereotypes, people often ask why Newcastle and Sunderland hate each other. The simple answer is we don't: they hate us, but we just find them amusing. Have you ever witnessed such an embarrassing display of inferiority complex? We have a world-famous bridge; they get themselves a crappy fun-size version of it. We're a famous city - with the mandatory cathedral - so they mewl and whine their way to city status, whether they're entitled to it or not. Just the fact that it's Tyne and Wear and not the other way round is enough to turn them apoplectic, the poor, downtrodden, vowel-mangling oafs. And - despite the fact that we're geographically north of Wearside, you'll never hear of a mackem going UP to Newcastle - always 'through'. Or is that thrayeew? There is, however, one thing that Sunderland trumps Newcastle on, and that's the Air Show. People from Newcastle go to the airport to see planes up close, and maybe even board them to destinations near and far. Sunderland inhabitants, meanwhile, gather on beaches and in fields to marvel at the displays above them. 'Lewk, Jewley! A big metal bird flying over thee 'ouse!' f****** airshow. Only in Sunderland… " its true, and most of the mackems I know acknowledge that, all of them go to either one of our two Universities and some have even moved to our city. They happily admit they only go to sunderland every other Saturday to watch their team play, and thats it. Its the mongs I've met that try and argue sunderland has everything Newcastle does that annoy the fuck out of me. However I keep quiet and weep at night, "fuck. If only we had a glass centre"

aye, they just named that bit along from the Central Station Cathedral Square for no reason

Hello, I'm a photographer, and I'm busy collecting photographs for a book that I'm hoping to have published, entitled, "The Cathedrals of Britain's Cities". I've got some beautiful photographs of many of the Cathedrals within Great Britain, however there is one in particular I am unable to find and am wondering if you could help me find it. It's the Cathedral for the City of Sunderland. I've done my research, and am unable to locate a Cathedral for this City. Would any of you happen to know where Sunderland Cathedral is, after all it is meant to be a city. Regards.

has to be Leeds at home, Jan 2002 iirc.

what are we going to do when we have a winner? Get a shitty plaque and say "Congratulations! The people of Newcastle-Online.com have voted you worst player to play for Newcastle United in the last 5 years"?

nice to see Mr Shearer getting a vote there

Ameobi Babayaro Boumsong Amdy Faye Smith 5 options wasn't enough

1. Souness - everyone knows why 2. Gullit - just didn't care, shite, had us down the bottom by the time he left 2. Dalglish - dismantled Keegans team that still had potential

a mackem mate has just sent me this, he's ashamed of it himself. For a 9 year old to have a mouth like that on him is a disgrace. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0LekcVI1jbg

seconded

I was only 4 at the time, probably too young to have known about it, but I've seen it time and time again, and whats so great about it is that split second where O'Brien's hands go up to celebrate before anyone else's. He knew it was going in.

while we're off subject about the game itself, their university has just released a promotional video encouraging people to go http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ei-ADFi2t8o

"I hate their club, the people, their city and everything they stand for. Everything thats wrong with modern England IMO." Jesus wept!!!!! Well, if you're content with the bridges shopping centre, and the largest collection of Walter Wall's carpets/Tony's tiles (shops with annoying adverts on Metro radio) within a 5 mile radius, and not to mention Europe's capital of culture, Hendon, then don't ever f****** step foot in our city, "JimmyMonty73". It's the oddest football forum I have ever seen that. I was looking at it the other day to see what they thought their chances where and couldn't actually find an article discussing how they thought the Derby would go. There is like 200 threads created each minute on useless bollocks. Aye, definitely, one speaks sense, then another tit comes along and mocks him for it.

I was there in the rain, and I was there when that cunt Hutchinson kissed their dirty badge (not mentioning another incident in the game). However the 2-0 was good, I'd barely sat down before Bellamy had the ball in their net. The 3-2 was special, as it was a mackem mate of mines birthday and it totally ruined it for him! (Cruel, yes!) However it has to be the 4-1. Hardly any pubs in the region were showing it, but we found somewhere in Fatfield, Washington (supposed mackem territory) and it was absolutely jam-packed with Mags. The few mackems in there were trying to wind us up at half-time, but we refused to bite back and just kept quiet. Then on came Rocky to grab an equiliser, before that mad 7 minute spell. I ended up on the deck as the people inside pushed forward. Ahh, what a great day!

absolutely can't wait, especially with being mates with alot of mackems. 2-0 to us methinks. Owen and Viduka (providing its an unchanged team)

yup

Scott Parker injuring Jimmy Bullard. I had a really good view of it sitting in the Milburn. As soon as Parker caught him, and Bullard went down it looked bad. That was probably the first time I'd witnessed a nasty injury whilst being at a live match (I had a good view of Wayne Bridge breaking his ankle, but that didn't look as bad). Obviously didn't take my breath away in the spectacular sense, I was just quite shocked.

I was waiting for the bus and looked in Coral's window, they're saying a tenner on 2-1 Newcastle with Martins to score first returns £530. It's tempting...

yup. They just said the takeover has turned into a "soap opera". Finally! That term being used for someone else! Not just us.

Hicks has sent Parry a letter. SSN report the following reasons... * Poor performance in merchandising etc. * Hicks compares their revenue to Man Utd's and doesn't understand why Liverpool are so far behind (Liverpool: £133.9m Man Utd: £212.1m) * Hicks isn't happy with the transfer dealings - Benitez said there was a lack of communication between Parry and Benitez * The way Parry treats fans/sponsors "leaves something to be desired"

Looks decent but 18M is a bit much for someone who has had a few good games in the Prem. Marcus Stewart looked good for one season and scored a boat load. You need to see people over a period of time to judge that if once the defenders in the league get used to the way the lad plays, his threat can be nullified. thats what I thought. He may well be worth £18m in the future, but to jump in with a bid of £18m from what I've seen of him so far seems completely illogical.
