Merci beaucoup, I've had a few, but thought the same thing myself.

..don't forget NETD....

No jaws been "wired" here, I can assure you. ...and nowt through the letterbox either.

it did look like it when he walked off Wouldn't be the first time. Remember him crying when Boro got hammered when he was a Smog. Tiny Tears

No it wasn't. Long went over easily, but there was definite contact. Even O'Shea thought he was off.

Dived into the challenge as well. Straight red all day.

And of course, the irony is that their training ground isn't in Sunderland, it's in South Tyneside. Mental cases the lot of them.

we had to pull him back in, does all the chants on the mic in sam jacks on match days, was trying to do it out the window but he got a few renditions of 'who the f***ing hell are you' and 'we'll sing what wee want' he got a bit emotional got a canny video of someone doing a klinsman in that pile of rubbish not sure what gans through peoples heads tbh haha some bloke was wading around in it, in what can only be described as budgie smugglers Went to school with this daft fucka... ...canny lad usually.

Yes. Yes they did.

The Larsson free kick through the wall, comfortably saved by Timmy. That was it, one shot on target in 90 odd minutes. They were better last season, should have stuck with the fat bloke.

Jeff Brown gets in my local from time to time. When we asked him where his allegiances lie, he said "put it this way, I grew up a few streets away from Roker Park" Lovely bloke, by the way and Dawn though Newcastle born, favours the Smoggies and is more of Rugby Union fan.

Yes, for once getting the historical bit right. Oh, and he was stood outside my local where I'll be celebrating tonight! hopefully.

Need to play a hell of a lot better than we have so far, Alan. Have we played a fully fit team yet? maybe Spurs but not sure Excluding when players have been named as sub. Spurs - no Coloccini Chelsea - no Tiote Villa - no Tiote Everton - no Coloccini, Tiote, Simpson Norwich - no Coloccini, Simpson Reading - no Coloccini, Simpson, Cabaye We should be able to accomodate having 1 or 2 injuries provided they're not in the same position without having a massive dip in quality, we don't though. Add Krul to that list for the last three of those games

Sorry mate that article is so full of holes it is like a journalistic sieve. How many people refuse to eat bacon ?? It was a stupid throw away line on an equally stupid program. Newcastle did hold the Royal Charter as far as coal was concerned, and it did cause a great deal of pain and animosity. That much is true. Newcastle was Royalist, only in so much that the castle was invested with troops under the Marquess of Newcastle, who were there to protect the coal supplies The ordinary people were not allowed into the castle, and offered no protection from it. The ordinary man was more than likely a Roundhead sympathiser, but you don't publicise that view to loudly with the enemy army on your front lawn. Durham, the Bishop and County Durham was also Royalist, and had troops, there was also a garrison at South Shields. If Sunderland had been a Roundhead base it would have been crushed in short order and wiped from the map. A Scottish Army came down to capture Newcastle, and to effectively cut off coal supplies to the rest of the country. The Scots were repulsed . They then attacked small towns, villages and communication lines. The Royalists from Newcastle and Durham and Shield went out to meet them, to stop them destroying and killing the unprotected. This includes Sunderland, which was being raped by the 'old enemy' The only connection with Sunderland was that the Scottish army , under Earl of Leven retired there during the Battle of Boldon Hill, while the Royalists retired to Durham. The Scots used Sunderland as a supply base, in reality they marched in and took what they wanted. To imagine that a secret Roundhead alliance welcomed them in is laughable, Sunderland was occupied by a foreign army who ransacked the place. The Scots were highly unlikely to allow Englishman to join in with them. The Scots were not just fighting the Royalist but moreover killing Englishmen and hoping to retain any land that they held. That is not to say one or two looters did not tag on to the Scots coattails, while the Scots took what they needed from Sunderland. There were no Roundhead troops based in Sunderland because it was of no strategic importance what so ever. To say that there was a Scottish / Sunderland alliance is ridiculous in the extreme. More like history been airbrushed out of shame. The Royalist Army was not raised from Newcastle. They were Royalist supporters from further afield, only stationed there to thwart the Scots The Royalists and Scots fought over 4 days and retreated back to Durham and Sunderland respectively. There was no outright victory to either side as the Battle of Selby ( a Royalist defeat) forced both sides south. Newcastle was NOT taken at that time by a Scottish army and a handful of Mackems. Although a Scottish army did occupy Newcastle AFTER the Royalist defeat at Marston Moor. Only the Mackems could try and turn this imagined traitorous act of siding with an invading army as so kind of virtue, especially when you think of what the Scots did in Sunderland over those four days. :clap: This is the real course of events that I was taught at school. As a Boldoner born and bred, I'm sick of seeing the quoted "truth" that Sunderland forces, backed by the Scots won the Battle of Boldon Hill. I suppose it's like everything else with the mackems, if enough people believe it then it MUST be true. I blame Wikipedia and the like for this recent distortion of history.

Surprised it hasn't been called off. I mean that winds getting up a bit ye nar.

Exactly the same for me ...and me! Dad started taking me to the match in '73, but the Keegan debut was my first season with me mates. Sat outside the Strawberry all morning in the baking hot sun to be sure we'd get in, ended up next to the Gallowgate goal. When KK scored he ran into the crowd right next to us, I can just make myself out on the footage.

As Benwell Lad said earlier, the mackem hierarchy are more bothered about pop concerts than the football side of things, obviously they're a bigger money spinner for the club. They should be made to play all their games away until the drainage problem is sorted. How hard can it be? Their ground is 50 foot above a river FFS!

Better than that, he's never claimed to have supported Sunderland either unlike Martin McGuinness O'Neill Yep, that's the bloke that always comes to mind when Artie is interviewed. Ever noticed that he never looks his interviewer in the eye? Creepy, horrible little wretch of a man.

post thier record european scorer and then all the toon players who have scored more than him. struggling to find out who got their other goal in the win v sporting but tueart got 2 against vasas, hughes got one. horswill got one v sporting so if tueart got the other against sporting then it's 3, if not it's 2...either way nufc.coms list doesn't go that low. I seem to remember Bobby Kerr got a goal in Europe, so maybe him?

ffs. "There's nothing funnier than Geordies crying on Match of the Day" - Noel Gallagher. ...oh hang on...

Well said. Reminded me on to reset my Avatar to the picture of the great man. For that period of time in the Edwardian era, we actually were "the greatest team the world had ever seen"

Redknapp, WTF?, trying to make out that Evra refused to shake Saurez's hand. Like father like son lying bastard!

Coulda been the Liverpool dressing room, after all they seem proud of their racism.

Post of the year! :clap:
