Superior Acuña Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 On staff night out, they were all quiet at first...they had been to wembo for the final. Once they had a few drinks inside them, they became full of themselves and started showing me pics from their phones. "this is what wembley looks like" they said, forgetting they didn't win. :lol: Well done for losing it. Im always quiet polite and put the banter to one side but if thats their attitude. Let the relegation begin! I just show them a picture from Lisbon. Knob'eds. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let the relegation begin! the whole trouble with them is they were so far behind is for so long, the slightest bit of upturn for them, they get way ahead of themselves, usually ( recent derbies aside) ending in hilarious calamity.

Or their own players driving around shooting at people with an air gun. Or their supporters smashing their place up after a derby defeat, admittedly, it was hard to notice. Or NHS reports stating that Sunderland has the highest percentage of obese supporters in the country. Or how they love to go to the airport with their strips on and don't seem to remove them until after they return home.

Benwell Lad Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Quite a few years ago I had a good mate, from Sunderland, berating me about how money is invested in Newcastle and not in Sunderland. He pointed out the Arena, which was just nearing completion at that time. I can remember him going on about how One North East were willing to plough money into that project even though there were other venues in Newcastle yet nothing in Sunderland. He was more than a little surprised and confused when I informed him that the Arena. Like many projects in Newcastle were funded privately. In the case of the Arena by Chas Chandler. Not One North East. That one of their Uber-fans, namely Steve Cram, chose to open a shop in Newcastle and not in Sunderland, a well know record shop that had branches throughout the North east, owned by two Sunderland supporters had branches Newcastle and Gateshead YEARS before Sunderland . That their own city council chose to destroy their town centre with a one way system. A lot of inward investment, re-building and refurbishment is done by the people of this city privately without recourse to the public purse. Newcastle and Gateshead are pulling to build a twin city and it doesn't matter what spin Sunderland people try to put on it they are falling further and further behind because they are not willing to back their own city. Sunderland council even invest heavily in Newcastle Airport ( yes that's its real name not Ponteland ). On the one hand Sunderland fans love to say they own it or condemn the fact that it is not at the top of Northumberland Street. And yes, amongst all this we have the anomaly of the Metro system which Sunderland did get for years. But then again Sunderland supporters do seem to take a great joy in smashing it up. The point being if the people of Sunderland will not invest in their own town, why expect anyone else, especially your hated neighbours to do it for you ? Pretty spot on that. The prosperity of a town cannot be shored up by public money, eventually the citizens and planners have to make it happen themselves and in that respect Newcastle and Sunderland have gone in very different directions in recent decades. There is no better illustration of the difference in the two cities than that provided by the high paid employees of Sunderland Football Club themselves. While none of them would live or spend any time voluntarily in Sunderland itself, their management and players often live in Newcastle and are regularly seen socialising in and around the city. This extends even to Sunderland born "mackem icons" who, as soon as they become successful or wealthy, flee the place to set up home in Newcastle's more affluent neighbourhoods.

There was a great prog on TV the other night, with Evan Davies who hosts The Dragons den. Talking about London being a massive of hub of investment and drawing people from all over the country towards it. He went on to talk about hubs being the future to generate growth. Newcastle and Durham were mentioned, Sunderland wasn't. Tho I'd image that any regional hub would be Newcastle, Durham, Gateshead and Sunderland acting as one. I see the government has given the go ahead for our regions councils to merge as one. maybe the begining of this regional hub. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Icke - Son of God Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 I used to work for a rather large wholesaler who had a store in one of the many grey areas in between Newcastle and Sunderland, however as it was built in the 1970s and the company policy at that time was to name shops after the nearest city so it became the "Newcastle store". I had several customers of the angry Mackem variety complain to me, a lowly member of the customer service staff, about the naming policy when "Penshaa Monument is arnly two minutes away you Geordie bastid!". One day in passing I mentioned these complaints to the store manager. His face dropped. He began to regale me with tales of all the abusive emails he received (around half a dozen every week) from angry Sunderland supporters calling him a black and white bastard, maggie scum etc. He wasn't even from Newcastle. There was also a suggestion the national head office got loads of emails too. Eventually I believe they dropped the Newcastle name to appease the mad fuckers. So aye - Mackems are small-time mentalists who send abusive emails to national chains of wholesalers because they think they're all part of some mad conspiracy to trample the good people of Red House, Hylton Castle, Pennywell, Hendon etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like they say though we've never lost a derby while I've been on. If/when it happens I'll do my best to take it on the chin. I've had enough practice.

KDT Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Their home game at West Brom has been re-arranged for the Monday before the last game of the season. The Man City away game is now a midweek game inbetween playing Everton and Chelsea. They need to pick up some points soon as they can't afford to leave it to the last week.
