Wallsendmag Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 I used to work with a lad who followed Newcastle and sunderland. Would watch us one week and them the next. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 It always used to be mainly just us laughing at how crap and small time they were, and how angry they were when it came to NUFC. These days it's all got a bit daft, like there's some weird competition going on to prove who hates the other more. Like we've fallen to their level. Thanks Alan.

Teasy Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Not much of a competition if RTG is anything to go by. Haven't been on there for a while but last time I checked it could be described more as a anti Newcastle forum than a Sunderland fan forum. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ndegwa Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Just getting a bit bored by the obsession with them, and how it's seeping into other threads on the forum. Seems to have really ramped up in the last year, maybe it's to do with the Johnson case. I'm not a Geordie so I'll never 'get it' but they're almost an irrelevance to me, especially now we're not even in the same league. Who gives a f*** what the divs on RTG think about our signings etc? Moyes is a great appointment for them and it's laughable to pretend otherwise considering lots of us would have taken him after McClaren. Fair enough. As a fellow non-Geordie, I have to say the 'obsession' is far more apparent from their side (in my opinion), there's a (perceivably) massive difference between their fans and ours in that regard. RTG is fucking mental I've browsed a fair few footy forums over the years and have yet to come across anything on that kind of delusional scale. The stories they make up (Mag at work, Mag in bar, Mag at sea, Mag in shower, Mag in mag) are absolutely ridiculous. It's borderline mental illness. Still, a few of our fans do have an unhealthy preoccupation with them, so I agree with you to an extent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not going to work every day with mackems certainly lessens the hatred like. Until derby day that is. But as far as I'm concerned Moyes is shite and will be nothing near a great appointment. No better than Sam iyam. Potentially worse, given Sam had turned them into the 17th best team in the league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallsendmag Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 When the day comes that we have a 30 page thread on here about a sunderland pre season friendly I'll admit Dave was right and we are as obsessed with them as they are with us.

shintonsghost Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 The fact is he's not from here so he wont ever get it. We will always have the obssesion with each other. Difference in forum land we keep it to one thread and it isnt massive tbh.....however their RTGroom forum every day has 20% of its posts(guessing) about is in some shape or form. The absolute trouble with Mackems is they hate us being the big fish of the region in everything , always have and always will be the turds of the North East. They have the upperhand in football but still hate the fact that we own them in life, we took the piss for 30 years so we have to take it back.the swing back to us will happen one day lads, till then let the have a chuckle cos in truth we deserve it as a club the way we went on. We'll be back Sunlun, when? Fuk knows but we will. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm from Killingworth and I don't get it when it gets to that point, so I'm going to say that that line of thinking is probably undermining and wrong.

loki679 Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Sky hype. The more you hate your rivals the truer fan you are of your club. Stupid nonsense really. I've got mates who are Sunderland fans, i've lived with mackems in the past and some of my family support them. Yeah, I want us to beat them and do better than them but i'd rather it was both clubs fighting at the top of the table for honours (with us coming out on top of course) rather than the old bald men and a comb thing. Does the North East no good at all having our two biggest clubs being two of the worst in the Premier League. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Just don't pretend you're not as obsessed as they are. Yep I can't stand them. You seem to rather like them. You certainly don't like people having a pop at them on here. It's all cool. Leeds fans often do get on well with mackems. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hithere Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Having read the thread but not said anything for a while I just thought I'd say the following. I have no desire to exchange tit for tat about the alleged location of airports and hotels and other various landmarks. I live in Pallion, it does not rival anywhere in the North East. I lived in Newcastle for three years. I'll concede your city is better but I like mine too. I think Moyes will be a good manager for us, is arguably an upgrade on Allardyce but needs time and funds to improve the squad which is paper thin at present. I predict 13th and boring for us for the coming season which suits me fine. I think you've bought well and will at the very least be there or thereabouts.
