Guest Mackem Logic Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Their nostalgic and treasured memories of football revolve around us not winning the league. There was another thread on there recently about 'Best Premier League moments' or something. 90% of the posts were about goals conceded by or embarrassing incidents (Dyer and Bowyer punch up for example) involving NUFC.

Disco Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 I'm not going to be able to watch the derby match, not sure whether this is a blessing in disguise tbh. Fucking hate it for the best part until the final whistle. They could be in the Northern League and I'd still be a bag nerves. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pinkeye Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 The atmosphere during the 5 - 1 changed noticably during the game from even before kick off with the police being ridiculous while we were walking to the ground, so hyped up that one of them even pushed my dad - who is 73 - to get him to walk faster when he had stopped to talk to one of them. I think he said something like there must be quite a bit of overtime available on the derby day because he hadn't seen as many police in town for a while. Then the nerves based around really not wanting to lose through the the elation of coming away as 5 - 1 winners and there being practically no mackems left in the ground. For the best atmosphere I have experienced in many a year it is impossible to go any further than the 4 - 4 with Arsenal. I am in the East Stand and even there the people were on their feet cheering and singing.... This doesn't happen - as I am sure other East Standers will verify.... Best moments in my life though - not football related I am afraid. Mostly revolve around my kids.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benwell Lad Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 A set of fans deserting their team, before it was even half time, during a derby match was indeed a very strange thing to see in football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Icke - Son of God Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 My overriding memory of the 5-1 was being convinced we were going to get spanked until kick off, then I became supremely confident. Oh and Strawberry beer. I got absolutely fucking ratted on strawberry beer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 the 5-1 was summat else. Had a can for breakfast about 8am. 5 or so of us on a bus into town and met up with more. More booze. Text from a mackem mate being frogmarched up to SJP saying he'd been hit on the head by a rogue lager can thrown by one of our lot. 3-0 up at HT and the Leazes was buzzing. Never seen so many of our fans so jovial. Back out and around The Gate was absolutely bouncing with the masses singing in the street. More pints then a bus home with a greasy parmo.

Wilson Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 For the best atmosphere I have experienced in many a year it is impossible to go any further than the 4 - 4 with Arsenal. I am in the East Stand and even there the people were on their feet cheering and singing.... This doesn't happen - as I am sure other East Standers will verify.... it was on a totally different level to anything i've felt....you could actually feel it, the roar when we went forward was louder than i've heard before or since including the 5-1...and you could actually see fabregas and the rest of them bottle it. it wasn't even just when we had scored a couple either....at 4-0 and 4-1 down, the singing in level 7 aimed at the arse fans was still loud....'we're gona win 5-4' in particular great day to be there, can only imagine what would have happened if Nolans late shot was a yard to the left....

David Icke - Son of God Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 The thing that really saved us during the 4-4 is that once their fourth went in most people in the ground just seemed to think "fuck it" and started having a good time. There's no way we'd have got anything from that match if it was a tense 1 or 2 nil at HT. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LFEE Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 trains gunna be a nightmare this year with them charging a fiver nightmare for police that we arent in the south stand anymore. be interesting to see what they do Was speaking to a Mackam at work who actually stewards all the away fans for a lot of years... Reckons the view is good in the new area though its proved a bit of a nightmare having Sunderland fans directly below the away area though they are leaving around 5 rows empty for our game... Also said interestingly that the gangways and access points are very narrow compared to the old area and not suitable... Reckons they are opening up the turnstiles 11.30am for our section to get people in earlier... Also mentioned that Liverpool fans are notoriously late for turning up...

Chicken Dancer Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 5-1 was just like a massive fuck off to that lot, after taking the piss for a year when we were down, self proclaiming themselves 'top dogs' etc. Villa 6-0 too. Not for atmosphere or that just like a big fuck off you horrible cunts after the way they went on when we went down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cp40 Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 some of the bitterness on the smb in thier thread for our match last night is ridiculous. the number of threads, easily a few every day discussing the policing, travel of toon fans to derby, and all other derby stuff leads me to believe the biggest thing that ever happens in thier lives is the visit of Newcastle to Sunderland.

Ameritoon Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 In regards to the 5-1 I remember watching it in bed, much the same as the Villa smacking earlier in the season. Both were completely surreal, couldn't even believe it. When Jonas drew the penalty all my nerves went away, I realized then how huge this was, when Shola attempted that scissor kick I had no doubts it was going in, everything was going our way. Smiled for the rest of the day, what a moment, wish I could've been there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuyP Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 The 6-0 was mental, i was heading back to Sheffield straight after the game, and in the car i was just like "wait, did that just happen? Andy Carroll hat trick?..." My brain just couldnt compute it! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 I couldn't handle the 6-0 I drove back home from a festival at about half six in the morning and had a massive come down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
