Newcastle didn't screw Gateshead. Gateshead screwed Gateshead.

It's an urban myth anyway, just one of many lies uttered by slack-jawed sunderland fans since time began.

Mackems are gobshites.

It was a disappointing result today no doubt, but this was against the same team who deservedly defeated Manchester United at home and away to Liverpool and Arsenal, and given the way the team have responded to set backs so far this season (Spurs and Fulham away, Swansea and West Brom at home), it wouldn't be beyond the realms of possibility to get decent results out of the remaining three games. And even if we don't pick up another point this season, we'll still have finished the season in no lower than 6th position and european football assured with games to spare.

Given the season began to a backdrop of negativity and uncertainty (Jose and co leaving, written off by various pundits) and having to cope without one of our first choice centre-halves since December, it's been a tremendous season and frankly one to leave you proud to be an NUFC supporter.

Totalsport had another good one this evening.

 

They were talking about the Wigan tickets, and how they (Wigan) said we couldn't have any more for 'safety reasons'.

 

Gawy Bennet then piped up saying 'Sunderland once took 14,000 fans down to Wigan, when they were in the championship', and some supporter had allegedly sent the pic into them?!

 

Mackems taking 14,000...to Wigan?

It's the Mackem multiplier in effect once more e.g. 7,000 down to Goodison in 09/10 season instead of the pesky official figure of 619.

So, just to summarise the Mackem logic again, as if it needed confirmed or repeated:-

Yiz spat on him marra (a sole NUFC fan in 1982 when Robson was a middle-aged England manager with no connections to the club at the time)

Yiz bewed him and got him sacked marra (Not one chant of disapproval registered against him during his NUFC tenure or boos aimed at the great man)

He loved us more and treated him well (apart from chanting 'he's nearly dead' and 'he's p*ssed his pants again' of course, and the fact he was an NUFC fan)

What did he do for yiz to get a statue? (Took us from relegation candidates to champions league football, set up a foundation and was almost universally liked throughout football)

Why can't they just be honest and admit they've got f*** all to crow about us these days and are vastly inferior in every way possible so have to resort to such pathetic attempts at point-scoring over a fine football manager and a great man whilst ironically la-la-la ignoring their disgraceful treatment of Peter Reid, Bob Murray and their own Lord Niall. Stay classy, Sunderland.

According to the mackems we took less there last season.

Feel free to point out the following facts to the banjo pluckers:-

NUFC sold out their allocation at Goodison Park last year (2,498)

The lowest number we've took to Goodison Park in the last 30 years was the relegation season (1,458, 980 of which were sold in advance)

SAFC took a massive 619 supporters to Goodison Park last season

SAFC beat their own record today by taking 618 fans to Goodison Park

All official figures from programmes before a Mackem bleats.

In fairness to Paxton, he's suffering because of that previous safc poster, Wireside. Paxton comes across as a reasonable sort, whereas that aforementioned myopic air-waster ticked all the sterotypical mackem boxes.

 

What does FTM mean?

Five Through Mignolet

Serious question - how many of Sumlin's  league titles were won when goals had a bit of string as the crossbar?

 

Adolf Hitler hadn't even started wanking by the time Sunderland had notched up league title number 5.

3 were won in the 19th Century (no Liverpool, Manchester United, Arsenal, Tottenham or Chelsea but Darwen and Corrugated Iron Jollygood Rovers though) and they've won the same amount of titles as we have since we entered the league.

can anybody translate this hooli talk into english?

It's Pennywell patois for, 'Well my friend, although my fellow red and white bretheren and I are an inherently classier set of supporters than our black and white counterparts, it seems only fair to point out at every opportunity our superior pugilistic prowess when indulging in the dark art of what Paul Morley may consider the artless release of working class disenchantment, which is in no way a contradiction of our aforementioned class and dignity. FTM.'

A beautiful summary from another board:-

From all I’ve read and heard in the aftermath of this game, I can only conclude that in the near future, a Tyne Wear derby will be marked by the death of a fan. Undoubtedly this fan will be one of ours, perhaps a solitary teenager at a bus stop or a middle-aged family man looking for his car, but he’ll be a black and whiter who will fall under a flurry of boots and fists, or a single stab by a bladed up sewer rat. I don’t want to sound alarmist, but the fact is, the mackems hate Newcastle United with such fury they will kill one or more of us to demonstrate that fact. The victim who dies will join Bobby Robson and Gary Speed in the litany of sick songs that are spread on sunderland message boards in preparation for games against us.Having watched the full game again, all I could conclude is that sunderland, both players and supporters, are completely out of control and that this mass, snarling hysteria is fed and nurtured by the highest echelons of the club.

Examine the conduct of both sets of fans; on Sunday, Shola Ameobi’s 90th minute equaliser was met with joyous scenes in the ground. However, not one person encroached upon the field of play; compare this with the Mackem reactions to Gyan’s equaliser last season when Steve Harper was assaulted or in October 2008, when Kieran Richardson’s goal was greeted with a mass pitch invasion and Shay Given being assaulted. Admittedly Alan Pardew did go slightly over the top with his celebrations, but at least he had the grace to apologise; unlike O’Neill who didn’t have the grace to accept the traditional post match glass of wine, artlessly preferring to get straight on the coach back to his Wearside midden, no doubt embellishing his fictional narrative on the day.

Each season, Newcastle fans travel to Wearside, by Metro, train, bus, car or even furniture van, and cause not a scrap of bother. On Sunday, the Mackems followed up their destruction of a train carriage en route to their cup replay in Smogland by trashing a Metro. This wasn’t a regular Metro, but a special one that went non-stop Park Lane to Central to allow them to get to the game. En route to the game, the windows of The Forth were put in; presumably in the belief that it is still 1983 and the NME were supping inside, rather than because it is an effete gastro pub, with a similarly effete post 92 clientele, even if the prix fixe menu is of an extraordinarily good standard.

In the ground several seats were smashed, two stewards were assaulted (a female punched in the face and a male pushed down a flight of stairs) and the toilets were wrecked, as well as having excrement smeared around them, presumably as some kind of Dirty Protest tribute to Niall Quinn, the Drumaville Pavees and their current manager, of whom more later.

However, such cretinous behaviour is perhaps to be expected for several reasons. Firstly, and most obviously, mackems are a lower form of life and visiting civilisation gets them all excited. Secondly, but most importantly, their club glorifies boorishness and encourages bellicose posturing. The famed free taxis home paid for by Niall Quinn for the sizeable number of their fans who were drunkenly out of control in Bristol airport in 2007, planted the seed in their minds that anti social behaviour will not only be tolerated by the club hierarchy, but rewarded.

The only reason Newcastle did not hand out another severe thrashing to the unwashed is that in the first half, Pardew’s team allowed themselves to be dragged down to the mackems’ level and engaged in a hideous kicking contest. The tone was set by Cattermole’s premeditated attack on Tiote after 40 seconds; having reputedly told Tiote in the tunnel that he’d “do” him, the man who wears the captain’s armband for sunderland deliberately scythed down Tiote in an assault intended to injure the Ivorian. Cattermole ought to have walked then. I remember Gordon Armstrong doing the same thing on Paul Bracewell in April 1993’s game that was decided by Scott Sellars’s free kick. Back then, Keegan’s team laughed it off and got on with the business of winning; sadly this was not the outcome in this instance. Newcastle’s adoption of strongarm tactics saw 4 rapid bookings, even if Simpson was rightly furious following McClean’s vile lunge on him.

The predictable conclusion to this passage of ale house clogging by the Magpies was the nonsensical penalty conceded by Williamson for a tug on Turner, which was celebrated in a deliberately provocative way by Frazier Campbell, intended to incense Newcastle fans and no doubt the cause of an imminent FA charge for incitement. Following this goal, a brief period of phoney war almost saw the Mackems go 2-0 ahead, but Krul made an excellent save from Bendtner and with that the Mackems retreated to their own 18 yard line for the remainder of the game. Despite being deservedly behind, the previously mentioned efforts from Ba and Coloccini could have seen Newcastle ahead at the break.

In the second period, especially after Sessegnon’s forearm smash on Tiote, who was himself booked for the only foul committed by a Newcastle played after the resumption, Newcastle were a joy to watch. Hatem Ben Arfa was Man of the Match by a street and showed exactly what Newcastle fans love to see; football artistry, poetry with the feet. We are the fans who idolise not only our number 9s, but the glorious ball players who’ve graced the Gallowgate turf; Beardsley, Tony Green, Len White, Bobby Mitchell, Hughie Gallagher, Colin Veitch and Pat Heard to name but a few. In contrast on Wearside, brutish, cowardly hatchet men like Joe Bolton, Charlie Hurley, John Kay, Kevin Ball and now Lee Cattermole are lauded.

Off the top of my head I can recall Gary Bennett, Howard Gayle, Paul Hardyman, Titus Bramble, Phil Bardsley, Sessegnon and Cattermole being dismissed from the field of play in derby games; not one of those names belongs to a Newcastle player. The meaning of that is self-evident; sunderland cannot control their players. This season alone Bardsley was sent off for a stamp, Sessegnon for an elbow and Cattermole for an unprovoked foul-mouthed tirade against a referee who’d done his level best amidst the mayhem, even if he missed at least 3 other penalties we should have had.

Laughably Cattermole’s conduct was excused by O’Neill in a post match interview where, summoning up all the traditional Celtic paranoia from his stint in Glasgow, he felt there were “mitigating circumstances.” According to O’Neill, there had been a Newcastle United presence in the referee’s room at half time. John Carver at this point interjected and pointed out, in no uncertain terms, that O’Neill was a liar. Obviously as far as the unwashed goes, if a lie is put out in to the real world, it becomes a fact; perhaps being caught out was the reason why O’Neill flounced out of Tyneside, preferring instead to make a cowardly interview with local radio on the Tuesday, replete with lies and innuendo. If you want to see real class and the conduct of perfect gentlemen, seek out the ESPN post match interview with Shola and Demba Ba. Articulate, incisive, humble and intelligent; these men are a credit to our club and the polar opposite of the scowling, snarling, spitting vermin from down the road.

As a minimum, the FA need to charge sunderland with failing to control their players, while both Campbell and McClean, for his comments on Twitter, should be brought to book. However, this will not be enough; when a sunderland message board is full of death threats against Pardew, things really need to stop. Back in 1996, the ban on away fans at derby games allowed for the formation of Wear Fans United to protest against the decision; 16 years on I can see no possible hope of a similar organisation being formed to calm the situation down. However, it has to be said this is not necessary on one side of the divide.

At Newcastle United, we fans police ourselves; we love the club and we respect our history and traditions. The same cannot be said of our local rivals; unless sunderland fans come to their senses and gain a sense of proportion about what is after all only a game of football, people will die on derby day. Those on Wearside must accept that this is where their conduct has them headed; they need a reality check before it is too late.

Anyone who's been following NUFC pre-premier league will have a healthy dislike for Everton, Spurs and Man City - puffed up fannies living in the shadow of more successful rivals leading to inner hatred and in turn outward disgust at the likes of ourselves. Relegation's too good for them all...

I didn't realise 3 years qualified as "year after year"

Only to Sunderland fans and only in the way that their team finished in the top 7 year after year for two seasons (99/00 & 00/01). The rest of the civilized word, however, are only too aware that Bill Haley and his Comets were wowing teenagers with their fresh new hit 'Rock Around The Clock' the last time SAFC troubled the top flight top six at the denouement of a season.

Couldn't really call it a style of "play" tonight like.

 

More like hoof it to Shola.

thats because we have 2 central midfielders who like to play deep, 2 forwrds with limited (at best) movemnet and 2 wide players who stay in their positions making it all so easy to defend against.

We'd murder most teams in a game of statues, though.

Hey Al, this passing football lark - you say it's gonna happen now, but when exactly do you mean?

Yeah - fourth in the league and unbeaten.  What a crap job Pardew is doing.

23/09/2007 - 5th place after beating West Ham 3-2. What happened after that again?

If he picks Shola and Ryan Taylor against Villa he deserves to be bummed by Tessa Sanderson.

Allardyce-lite.

Can anyone be bothered to count how many transfer windows in a row we've gone into desperately needing a striker? Is it just that players in that position don't fall into the category of "cheap gamble, might be worth more next season"?

Pathetic. How many minutes will Ranger and Lovenkrands rack up between them this season, any estimates?

Dekka's compadre Bobbyule hath spoken and he sayeth everything's alright. Yowsah!

Strong in midfield, decent in defence (though woefully short on central defensive cover) and anaemic in attack. Won't get relegated but won't trouble the top eight either.

So close to pushing on this season with the addition of a top centre-forward, too. Cheers Mike and Derek, you shitstains.
