Sunderland Are Better Than Newcastle

By Ryan Doneathy

 

In the week leading up to the derby game, most of us get the same pre-match feelings. You know the ones I’m talking about. Your nerves begin to take over and your confidence is suddenly drained away from your system.

 

You aren’t quite as sure that we’re going to stuff the Mags as you were and even begin doubting yourself and your team.

 

To calm these nerves ALS have decided to bring you a few SAFC v NUFC facts to help your optimism return. The following stats are just a few of the many reasons as to why we are superior to our Black & White counterparts, why we have always been and why always will be...

 

1908 anyone? In 1908, Sunderland recorded the club’s biggest ever league victory and it’s a record that still stands 104 years on. Who were on the receiving end of that 9-1 spanking? None other than our nearest and dearest, Newcastle. Now, I don’t want to manipulate you into thinking that we’re going to repeat that triumph this weekend, but just remember that we’ve thumped them many times before and we can do it again. Nine goals may be over zealous, but a comfortable win isn’t out of the question.

 

One thing that often comes up in debates concerning the Wear/Tyne rivalry is ‘who is the bigger club’? The answer to this is based on history and more specifically top flight championship wins. The record books state that Sunderland have won the league title on six occasions, that's two more than our dirty neighbours. We also won the league most recently, back in 1936, whereas Newcastle last won the league 85 years ago in 1927.

 

Next up, out of the two clubs, Sunderland have won major silverware much more recently than Newcastle. Newcastle’s last major success was almost sixty years ago when the luckily lifted the FA Cup in 1955. We, of course, won the FA Cup in 1973.

 

Trophies aside, we’ve also got a more formidable record in terms of league points achieved. The biggest total Newcastle have ever recorded in one season is a modest 102, which pales in comparison to the whopping 105 points we managed, back in the 1998/1999 season!

 

But we aren’t just superior in terms of history and silverware, we’re also better supported. Newcastle’s highest ever crowd was a rather pitiful 68,386 while Sunderland can brag of having a record attendance of 75,118. I’d also guarantee to you that the 68,386 in attendance at St. James’ that day were all stupid, overweight and nowhere near as handsome as the 75,118 beautiful people who attended Sunderland’s game against Derby County.

 

Whilst on the topic of fans, those who attend the Wonga Dome these days have an unfounded sense of superiority, but why? Much is said about the Keegan era, with Newcastle supporters even referring it to their halcyon days. But was it all that heavenly, though? Did they win anything? NO! Personally, I enjoyed them blowing a 13 point lead over Manchester United before pathetically surrendering the Premier League title in embarrassing circumstances and let's not forget Keegan’s “I’d love it” tirade.

 

It's also common knowledge that Sunderland possess much better looking women than Newcastle, a city full of fat and ugly women, or ‘dogs’ as Freddy Shepherd once correctly called them.

 

So, in conclusion, we hope to have amused and reassured ahead of the derby game and remember next time some fat Geordie gob shite sparks up with his delusions of grandeur, ram the above facts right down his throat...

 

 

 

 

Clutching. At. Straws. :lol:

 

That article helps explain why so many decent knowledgable supporters have stopped going to Sunderland matches and why they have to drag in 12,000 plastic fans to fill their stadium once a year when we are the visitors.

Ben Arfa's 2nd half against this lot last season, not often you see a winger have so much joy in 45 minutes. Must have had 3-4 nutmegs to go with another couple of runs that just took them out. Kieran Richardson probably left them because of what happend in that game.

Would love it if Ben Arfa ran the show on Sunday and smashed these pricks.

 

Still don't understand the hang up they have with Santon, ok he was a little underwhelming last season but they think he is shit which is wider of the mark than an AO article.

It's tongue in cheek, anyone can see that, but it also states quite a few reasons why they genuinely think they're superior.

 

I think its more because to Admit otherwise would be to accept what we all know, that they were born 2nd best, got the shit end of the stick in life, born to fail.

They simply can not accept this truth, So we have a City full of Deluded ( I know you dont like that word)  people who have convinced themselves they are something more than the sad creatures they actually are.

Laugh at them but Pity them too, for the sake of 10 miles, it could have been you.

Every morning Wake up and Thank your Lucky stars You weren't born a Mackem.

Awful article :lol:

 

Yes we know we won the league in 1908 when they won 9-1. Wasn't our first team on strike?

 

Last major trophy wasn't 1955... twas 1969.

 

Why are they proud with getting 105 points over our 102? It was in the second tier of English football ffs :lol:

 

Finally our record attendance was more than recorded as the club didn't want to give the real attendance as we h ad to give money to the away team back then IIRC?
