Comfort blanket appears to now be that we haven’t won enough. The mackem paradoxs keep on coming. We have shite, lucky overperforming players that would struggle to get into their all dominating 4th place Championship team but 3rd isn’t good enough? Mental gymnastics of the highest order.

bobbydazzla Posted Thursday at 07:58 Share Posted Thursday at 07:58 (edited) I do believe Mr George Orwell eloquently summed up the Makem Paradox: To know and not to know, to be conscious of complete truthfulness while telling carefully constructed lies, to hold simultaneously two opinions which cancelled out, knowing them to be contradictory and believing in both of them, to use logic against logic, to repudiate morality while laying claim to it, to believe that Mag success was impossible and that the Massive Lads Fans are the guardian of democracy Edited Thursday at 07:58 by bobbydazzla Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why this continual assumption that the 'big 6' clubs (2 of which are completely gash) will be better next season? And if this season ranks as 'underwhelming'... not sure my heart will cope with an overwhelming one. As for those tramps, either outcome is good. Get promoted? Great - weekly humiliation awaits you. Stay down? Great - three clubs with PL parachute payments plus Birmingham City are going to make life hard for you next season. See - we can apply that 'logic' too y'know.

Can’t believe we’d have more points on the board and be higher in the league if we hadn’t lost some games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just think. If we had won four games instead of lost them, we would be within two wins of a Liverpool team that have lost two games all season, assuming they lost all of their remaining games.

Kid Icarus Posted Thursday at 09:11 Share Posted Thursday at 09:11 (edited) Said it before but the level of hatred they carry around and the daily hate they hand out to each other on there seems really unhealthy like. You can see the steam coming off certain posts and it only takes one person saying something as mild as 'It's annoying how good they are' to send its resident beetroot heeds into a state of furious finger pointing and insults over being mag apologists or being secret mags. It's not enough for them that people support Sunderland and hate Newcastle and any success we have, they have to subscribe to putting on daily performances over how illegitimate, underwhelming, and unimpressive everything Newcastle does is - while supporting a club that is well below those same standards - otherwise they're in the mag stasi. It's unhinged and the cognitive dissonance will be genuinely sending them a bit mental. It seems like a terrible way to spend your time and exactly the sort of thing we'd wish upon them. All the natural outcome of being a fanbase whose identity is largely defined by who they're not rather than who they are.

Kid Icarus Posted Thursday at 09:18 Share Posted Thursday at 09:18 Like how do you get yourself into this state of conspiratorial thinking and not do yourself in? This was after Eze missed a pen and we scored via an own goal. Presumably not giving Palace a pen in the first place doesn't factor into their thinky skillz.

I had a quick skim read of the thread last night and there were a few posters who were quite complimentary of the way we play, press and overall just admitted that we’re a pretty good side. Fair to say they immediately got shot down and were educated that us being 3rd, saving a penalty and how sides always crumble when they come to SJP is down to luck.

Jonas Posted Thursday at 13:03 Share Posted Thursday at 13:03 Don't know the context but was trouble in our match thread last night. A moderator had to delete posts between mackems arguing with each other and tell them off for trying to get two long term Sunderland fans they accused of being Mag trolls banned. Like others have pointed out it will likely only be comments akin to "hate them, but got to admit they're a good side' and 'what a goal that is'. Discombobulation in action.

GallowgatePigeon Posted Thursday at 13:13 Share Posted Thursday at 13:13 When discussing whereabouts in the PL Top 7 we truly belong, the mackems talk with some amount of authority considering that they've only finished in the top 10 of the top flight 3 times in living memory.

Optimistic Nut Posted Thursday at 14:11 Share Posted Thursday at 14:11 (edited) They're about to have their best season for 8 years, which would be our worst season in 33 years. We're on track for our best season in 22 years, which would be their best season for 75 years. Levels.

Makes you wonder why they're bothering to bribe people for Newcastle's sake as I thought they weren't interested anymore and were looking to sell us? According to RTG anyway.

t00nt00n313 Posted Thursday at 14:49 Share Posted Thursday at 14:49 (edited) Don't get why they keep going on about the saudis bank rolling our success, do they just not understand how ffp works since it was so long ago that they were in the premier League? Feels like they genuinely think it's still the early 2000's where teams like us can do a city or Chelsea. We had a net negative spend this season for a reason and it wasn't just for the lolz Edited Thursday at 14:50 by t00nt00n313 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
