Well, I'm sorted for a sig.......

These last few days man…..39 points from 13 games? Deductions for ‘lucky streaks’? Everton to overtake us? Sturridge to join safc? Am I fucking seeing things? This season has pushed a lot of them over the edge… Its rapidly getting to the point where laughing at them feels wrong, like playground bullies taunting a kid with a speech impediment or physical disability. The board needs a virtual dinner lady to step in shouting ‘leave him alone, he cant help it”.

If it was NUFC who had done that, the posters of RTG would all be creating fake ebay/paypal accounts under the name of 'Frankie Troubadour Manson' and slinging in bids of 3 or 4K, before 'hur-hur-hur'ing each other's efforts on a 79-page thread. But we're not, because we're not embittered children with single figure IQs. FTM 9-1.

Christ I hope so..... 6 successive matches Ive had a fiver for him 1st scorer, including a very optimistic one for a hat-trick vs Stoke. I just know the week i walk past Ladbrokes, bang, 1st minute. In fact, I'm doing it, just to tempt fate. FFS it's your fault! Aye, guilty! I'll gladly forfeit this fiver win to get him back on form. Problem is, my jinx just moves onto the next unlucky b******. Sorry Hatem.

FYP Can I also point out that there was once a thread on SMB entitled "Friday fit birds: Black girls" which was pulled for, well, very predictable reasons. In 1985? in 1996? Nope, about 3 hours ago...

He's wasting his time, trying to put across a reasoned, well-thought point to that fucking rabble is like trying to juggle water. I haven't found the thread but I'm guessing every third post is "Fuck off back to your own board mag kernt"

The (often overt) racism on RTG/SMB is appalling but it’s the casual racism of your average mackem that’s more shocking. Words and attitudes that normal people haven’t expressed since 1979 go completely unchallenged most of the time, and if they are the challenger is rounded on and shouted down. As to why we still go on there despite its constant idiocy, who knows.….My dad gets the Mail on Sunday and when I’m round I read it and get more and more irate with its shit attitude, its head-in-the-sand view of the world and its horrible self-perceived moral class. My missus says instead of just not reading it, I choose to because I enjoy getting angry and feeling superior to something. I never agreed but she might have a point because I now look on RTG in much the same way.

Aye, here's his current form..... * Sunderland have picked up just 11 points from their last 11 PL games - the same as Bolton and two less than Blackburn. * They have failed to score in four consecutive PL games for the first time since March/April last year. * Stephane Sessegnon has managed just two shots on target in his last ten Premier League games. Fuck me, he's on fucking FIRE! http://www.football365.com/f365-features/7696310/Stats

Nah, Spanish City is gone, it's now the site of Marine Park First School, where the inhabitants receive education up to Key Stage 2 level. So in that respect, still nothing like sunderland.

Erm, it's not really a lie. A few mackems did actually play a part in forming Athletic Bilbao. Not according to the club they didn't... "One reason for being contacted was that an official approach from Sunderland AFC had left the Bilbao Club's Directors non plussed as to their links with our famous red and white stripes. In short they'd never heard of us!" http://www.rokerpark.com/navbar/bilbao.html Bilbao adopting the red and white stripes had nothing to do with the mackems, aye but a few mackems did play a part in introducing football to Bilbao (from what I've read anyway). Their official website doesn't mention it http://www.athletic-club.net/web/main.asp?a=2&b=3&c=0&d=0&idi=2 Their wiki pages don't either http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Athletic_Bilbao http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historia_del_Athletic_Club Sounds to me like some retro-fit history re-write based on little more than the shirt patterns. I can believe south-coast british emigrants ending up in Northern Spain in the 19th century. But from the far NE? Nah, don't see it. Besides they would have been loving life on wearside, enjoying their most successful period in the modern game.

On the subject of Europe, and ever desperate to be loved (or even noticed) by anyone outside sunderland, they perennially spout this billy bullshit about SAFC fans founding Athletic Bilbao, then try to drum up some modern-day camaraderie with them. Until someone posts YT footage of us actually enjoying such camaraderie with the very same team... http://www.readytogo.net/smb/showthread.php?t=692860 So to summarise… How NUFC forge a relationship with a foreign team: Play them in a competitive tie in a respected European competition, accumulating 6 goals in two displays of exciting, attacking football, while the fans mix in a trouble-free festival atmosphere. How SAFC forge a relationship with a foreign team: invent a massive fucking lie.

If Mackemism is the noun, can i suggest 'To Mack-track' as the verb. 'Mack-track' (v): To deem something worthless which had been previously been viewed as desirable. Example: "NETD for a third year in a row marra!!!111" - (Mack-track) - "Who gives a shit about that man, look to the future under MON, 9-1 FTM".

Don't give them ideas.... Quote: Sir Ricky Sbragia What people don’t realize is that the period 39-45 the mag was essentially a puppet regime to the Fuhrer, a ‘Vichy of the North’, and benefitted accordingly. However, at the same time SAFC and the forces of mackemdom refused to kowtow to the jackbooted forces of Herr Milburn and Herr Harvey, and struggled gallantly and ultimately victoriously to our success under our feted leader Monsieur Rene Artois, despite having to operate under comical circumstances in the village cafe.

The Liverpool match at the point where Enrique donned the XXXXL top, I was in the Leazes where there was howls of derision raining down, all following an afternoon of total humiliation by HBA. Perfect end to the game. For sheer comedy it was some kid outside Town Wall taunting the procession of mackems on their way back to the swamp with Gob Bluth's chicken-dance. Made funnier because i estimate 99% of people didnt get the reference so he sort of just came across as a pissed-up lunatic (which tbf, he was).

As weird as this sounds, for a sweet shop (A f*cking sweet shop?! What year is it in sunderland?) it was certainly popular. I worked for a year in Doxford, and whenever someone left or had a birthday etc, their gift was ALWAYS a jar of compressed coloured sugar from that shop. I’m not kidding, the stock looked like something from wartime ration-book Britain, and they f*cking lapped it up. When I transferred to the offices on the Silverlink, I'd guess the average weight of the lasses was about 2 or 3 stone lighter than the balloon-animals at Doxford. Wonder why…

It’s as sure as night follows day. The average thread on RTG goes as follows: Mackem: Makes point (usually incorrect) Mackems X 20: “This” Nufc poster: counterpoint Mackem: repeats point Nufc poster: counterpoint re-worded for clarity Mackem: repeats point Nufc poster: counterpoint re-worded for clarity and backed up by stats Mackem: repeats point Nufc poster: argument-ending deal breaker. . . . . . . . Mackem: “what you doing on a SAFC message board you sad mag twat? F*ck off somewhere else” Mackems X 20 “This” And so it goes on…..

Fair enough!

Is anyone else getting f*cking sick of the back-slapping attitude the mackems are adopting recently? Every online comment/facebook status seems inordinately proud of s*** performances normal fans would try to sweep under the carpet. Outclassed in derby? “Really proud of the lads today, mags rattled, FTM” Throw away 2 goal lead in last 4 minutes? “Really proud of the lads today, outstanding performance, FTM” Take part in what has widely been lauded as one of the worst televised matches of the entire season and a ‘war of attrition’ by the BBC? “Really proud of the lads today, bring on next season, FTM” Its like not getting roundly arse-f***ed is now cause for celebration. Easily-pleased mediocre twats.

If he retires in May, his autobiography can simply be called 'Needless to say, I had the last laugh'.

I always find it helpful to read RTG with an Arrested Development style narrative voice-over, especially when they start lying (which is inevitably). So for example: RTG: “At least we don't smash our own city up just over football” Cut to footage of Sunderland city centre, post derby, 2006 Ron Howard (voiceover) “In fact, they do”

Most of their league titles were won in the 1800's if I'm not mistaken. the game has changed beyond all recognition , a fact they will deny tbf, their town hasn't changed beyond all recognition in the same timespan, easy to see where the confusion could arise. By their bizarre logic, the now long-defunct clubs which cleaned up the cup competitions in Victorian times are 'bigger' than the likes of QPR or Chelsea. Perhaps Old Etonians or Wanderers have their own embittered version of RTG, refusing to move into the 20th century, clinging to their inherent big-ness and class.

I think its his off-the-field antics which have brought him legendary status. Like the time a bunch of the dirties were ejected from a plane at Cardiff for being drunk and abusive to other passengers, Saint Niall stepped in and paid for taxis to cart them all the way back home to Mordor. Seems Sir Niall felt some sympathy, what with his own history of heavy drinking/transport irregularities.....
