Sunderland...

[ponsaelius]

Most of the mackem's squad live in Darras.

[bowlingcrofty]

Bendtner was in Newcastle today in H&M apparently

[Dr.Spaceman]

Sure he'd rather shop on Fawshit Street instead

[Karjala]

Just for the purposes of this really stupid pointless argument, according to Google Maps it takes 26 minutes to drive from Newcastle to Durham, it takes 29 minutes to drive from Sunderland to Durham.

 

Yet Durham is still a 95% Sunderland stronghold. More Sunderland season card holders from Durham than there is from Sunderland according to last survey done.

Are you from Durham mate? No way on earth is Durham a 95% scum stronghold, its as evenly split as it gets!

 

Walk around the city and you will see as many Toon shirts as clown outfits, go in any pub showing the matches on dodgy tv and there will be more nufc fans, infact most pubs show nufc matches ahead of scumderland.

 

There may be more scum fans from Durham than scumderland, thats not to say durham is full of scum fans, more that nobody from scumderland actually goes.

[Cajun]

I think the derby defeat made Wearside hit the bottle very hard.

 

To be honest he was slurring bollocks long before that but it didn't help. Just hope the Macho Man has more willpower to withstand the Mmckem urges

[Beren]

Oooooh yeeeah.

[Guest Randy Savage]

Of course Newcastle has its shitholes, everywhere does. However, the fact Sunderland players choose to reside in Newcastle rather than the city that they are employed in speaks volumes.

 

Just saying like.

 

Which Sunderland players reside in Newcastle?

 

At this point it's probably worth pointing out that Gateshead and Northumberland are not part of Newcastle.

 

most newcastle players live in newcastle and its suburbs, how many sunderland players, for the record, actually live in sunderland? plenty of footballers who have played for both newcastle and sunderland have ended up living in Newcastle city centre. Has a single player from either team EVER lived in sunderland city centre?

 

how come you don't find Newcastle players clamouring to live in Albania on wear? Odd, isnt it?

 

Kieran Richardson and a few SAFC players live(d) in the Echo 24 flats near the Wearmouth Bridge. My mate used to live there and often saw him in the lift. Quinny has a place in there also. Several SAFC players live in the Ashbrooke area of the city, which is very nice and there are a few others in other parts of the city as well.

 

There aren't many in the city centre, but that is perhaps something to do with the fact that there isn't much choice in terms of posh apartments. The majority of those living on the Quayside on Tyneside live in Gateshead (Baltic Quays).

 

I'm not suggesting for a second that some SAFC players don't live or go out in Newcastle (though Darras is in Northumberland in point of fact), but this notion that no SAFC players live, drink or eat on Wearside is just that: a myth.

 

Randy, you talk alot of sense for a mackem.

 

You're an upgrade on the last mong but that sentence is bollocks.

 

Let's be honest here, those players live near Newcastle because that's where everything half decent is.

 

There's no two ways about it so let's not play games.

 

If there were lots of plush luxury apartments in Sunderland city centre I think some players would happily live in them. It doesn't mean they would have to go 'out' in Sunderland. They opened the Echo 24 ones and players/staff moved in subsequently e.g. Richardson and Quinny.  A player living in Sunderland doesn't preclude them from going into Newcastle if they so wish.

 

I'm not going come on here and argue against claims that Newcastle has a nicer city centre than Sunderland; it should do given the greater level of money invested in the place. However, as I said earlier, this notion that no Sunderland players live in Sunderland, or would ever eat in restaurants there or go out in the town is tripe. I'm not saying all our players do but plenty do.

Shouldn't be hard since he's dead.

I think Durham is still a Sunderland majority, although not by much. 60/40 SAFC at best (for us) I reckon.

[Cajun]

I reckon I'm pissed tbh.

[Guest Randy Savage]

Ok, it's arse in the bacon slicer time, as Mick 'Sam the Eagle' McCarthy would say. I'll go for a 1-1 draw tomorrow between SAFC and Chelsea, with the self professed world's best striker scoring for the lads.

 

Hopefully the ref stays strong and doesn't let that balding ladyboy Terry ref the game as he usually does on Wearside.

 

Looking forward to it (the match) strangely.

 

 

[Guest BooBoo]

Chelsea have started sluggishly and it's quite a tough game to call. I've swerved it on my Saturday coupon.

 

Draw with a late Sunderland equaliser.

[Guest Haris Vuckic]

 

Chelsea are going to bum them.

[M4]

Hopefully Chelsea will fuck their sisters in the cunt.

[Beren]

Sunderland usually raise their game quite well for the big sides (except us, of course). Chelsea will have to be clinical and alert at the back to get the three points. I think they'll do it, but don't see a tonking on the cards whatsoever.

[Pilko]

Chelsea will win it by two goals, but I expect it to stay level/be one goal in it until the last 5 or 10 minutes.

[Conjo]

Sunderland 0 -2 Chelsea

Torres (20), Terry (53)

[Mr. Snrub]

Think Chelsea will win this 3-0.

 

This will be the match where they finally get out of second gear.

[Neil]

You have to say, a thumping isn't out of the question here.

 

Only 2 points from 3 games including a home derby defeat, only 1 goal scored, manager under a bit of pressure. Chelsea winning 4-1 or something like that is perfectly feasible.

 

Cue 1-0 Sunderland win.

[SimplyAnth]

Chelsea will win this comfortably I think.

 

[Guest ykmkmdd]

A game the mackems traditionally seem to do OK in - can see Chelsea dominating but them sneaking a 1-1

Those Echo24 flats are total shit, like The Bar in town. When you pull up from the bridge to the traffic lights a lot of windows literally just have sheets up as curtains. The place is literally a set shitbox plasterboard flats for people who earn £1300ish a month. Considering THAT is the best quality modern living in Sunderland says a hell of a lot about why most players live in Durham or Newcastle.

 

Saying that, Sunderland does indeed have a nandos, so that's your black lads sorted.

 

[RupertCommunicator]

I think the m*ckems will completely and overwhelmingly dominate them for 95 minutes, but lose 5-0.

There may not be much high-end real estate in Sunderland itself but there's a fair bit of it nearby. Half the houses at the top of Dalton Heights estate in Seaham could probably pass for castles, and then there's Hawthorn about another mile down the road which is essentially a little village of mansions.
