Can't see the makems getting anything more than their usual draw tomorrow, in fact I reckon they'll draw their last three games, fat sham won't change his safety first tactics this late in the game.

where's this from? http://www.newcastle-online.org/nufcforum/index.php/topic,68418.msg3261529.html#msg3261529

Ok, thanks for clearing that up, cheers.

So who do we want to win this? Will it make any difference if city win the trophy? I'm thinking about places in the champions league next season and the possible effect on Man U v. Norwich

I thought Clattenburg had refereed the game rather well at the time, letting two teams of cunts get on with it. Of course you would have thought that retrospective action would have been used on half the Tottenham side; compare some of those incidents to ones we've been pulled for in the past. It all made for some quality entertainment, though

Yes, the Civil War thing is a makem myth. The way they tell it, the brave folk of Sunderland defeated the cruel oppressors of Newcastle at the Battle of Boldon Hill. This was mentioned on Sky before one of the derby games a couple of years ago, they did a big feature on it with film taken just along the road from me. In reality, their town, which was no more than a small port at the time, was used as a landing place for the invading Scots army, who fought the English forces, who were barracked at Newcastle, on Boldon Hill. The result according to all sources, apart from the one that apparently all makems use on the subject was an indeterminate draw. It was a week later that the Scots took Newcastle. Nowt to do with makems at all, in fact they'd have been hard pushed to raise a division of soldiers from Sunderland in those days, seeing that their population was less than 1000. rattled marra I'm watching me letterbox. Anyway, stuff those lot, for all they go on about "classiness " and "dignity ", they've got that horrible, loudmouthed dinosaur in charge and we've got Rafa.

I can't remember either of those things, mind you, I was suffering from sun-stroke at the time. And excessive alcohol consumption of course.

I find the FA trying to send us down a little difficult to believe. Unless you think how s*** we've been is their fault like. No doubt about it we are exactly where we deserve to be but we've had some awful decisions go against us this season. Rightly or wrongly Mike Dean is the only ref that gives that penalty v Palace on Saturday, then we had Agueros offside goal, our 2nd goal to make it 2-0 v Man City in the corresponding fixture being wrongly disallowed, Coloccinis red card v the Mackems, Norwich winner the other week being a handball, the penalty against Mbemba v Man Utd and that's just off the top of my head without even thinking. Match deciding decisions that have gone against us. Now I've always been of the belief that decisions even themselves out and no doubt we have had one or two go our way but we are well in the negative when it comes to refereeing/linesmen decisions this season. I've been saying this all season. We're obviously not a good team, but that'll take (hopefully Rafa) some time to sort out. However there's no doubt we haven't got the rub of the green in many matches this season, and bad refereeing decisions are just a part of that.

Yes, I remember trying to join in with it, standing in the Leazes end at one of my first games back in the early '70s. Didn't know the words.

That was outrageously entertaining. Had everything that you want from a game of football. Unlike the Burnley game earlier, which was a soporific load of cobblers. Bodes well for next season, whichever division we're in.

Should have gone, but Clattenburg just proved why he's the best ref in the league. Imagine Mike Jones or Bobby Madley handling that

Nasty - especially those near the corner flag. Probably still commit the "Chelsea smile". When I think of Chelsea fans, I always imagine them to be like those cunts that killed Stephen Lawrence.

Yes, but quite happy to see a few retrospective bans

A veritable cuntfest.

What a fuckin goal!!!

I knaa!! We're far too old for this shit Mick.

Caam on Chels...*shudders*

Think Sunderland will lose to Chelsea. And people are underestimating man u. They're fifth in the league, got a rock solid defence, need the points to pull out an (admittedly unlikely) champions league place. Ok they're crap compared to previous years, but they've still got enough to beat Norwich.

Remember they're playing a piss poor makem team, not the best Spurs side in living memory.

We'll be fine, listen to Brummie, Villa are fuckin awful, the only team in the league to have not given a fuck all season, some of their players were on the beach in January ffs. Cagy 2-1 win, Cisse and Mitro.

Naa, they'll do the biz against the makems. Hopefully.

Yep, can't understand why you'd get yourself involved in a cunt off with such a team of cunts as Chelsea, especially when you're cruising the game.

Ooh naughty from Dembele, that'll get retrospective action.

Fair play, another fantastically timed run and finish.
