Coffee_Johnny Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 It’s amusing, bewildering at times, cherry picking stuff from that forum. But all human life is in their fan base, just like any other. With perhaps a greater proportion with chips on their shoulders re their more successful nearest rivals, than most. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, the penny has dropped for literally one person on there - that nobody can be expected to stop supporting a club they've followed their whole lives over this - and the rest of them are just completely ignoring it as if this person hasn't even posted. Amazing, but not remotely surprising. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 That story is incorrect, the person working at Southampton was a massive lads fan and offered to give him a load of replica mackem tops he had in his car boot. From then on the owner of Bilbao formed a deep, almost sexual passion for sunderland and the rest is history. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fail to see how it was because of them. "Athletic began playing in an improvised white kit, but in the 1902–03 season, the club's first official strip became half-blue, half-white shirts similar to those worn by Blackburn Rovers,[38] which were donated by Juan Moser. Later, a young student from Bilbao named Juan Elorduy, who was spending Christmas 1909 in London, was charged by the club to buy 25 new shirts, but was unable to find enough. Waiting for the ship back to Bilbao and empty handed, Elorduy realised that the colours of the local team Southampton[39] matched the colours of the City of Bilbao, and bought 50 shirts to take with him. Upon arriving in Bilbao, the club's directors decided almost immediately to change the team's strip to the new colours, and since 1910, Athletic Club have played in red and white stripes.

et tu brute Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 (edited) Mad how all of the mags on here are not from Newcastle so come onto this board to try and justify why they support them and pretend they are massive jawdees a bit like Sam I’m a Geordie Fender. Are these fuckers generally so thick, that they actually think you only qualify as a Geordie if you were born within the city limits? I know the daft cunt who posted this is one of the most bitter and jeslous fuckers on there; but fuck me they nearly all love a good fairytale, when a quick google search is all that is required. Nearly as bad as the clown 'chico' (or something like that) last week, who was making up figures to try and have a go at our attendances. Totally broken to a man.

"So you're saying supporting your team on the pitch is ultimately more important than whatever goes on off it then? You confirm that with your last sentence which is fair enough. It's as I suspected really so I'm not having a pop at you but the fact that you're more than happy to stick 20 quid directly in the Saudi pot for a meaningless friendly game that doesn't involve Sunderland going for a league title speaks volumes. Sometimes I wish people would be more honest and admit that the real reason they are against their owners up the road is because they're minted. People wouldn't care less if they were skint or had came out and said they were going to sell off all their assets. In fact we'd be loving it!" https://www.readytogo.net/smb/threads/bilbao-black-cats-athletic-club-bilbao.1583245/page-3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfcastle Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 (edited) If I couldI'd upload the video of Newcastle and Bilbao fans getting on famously in 94, documented by Futbol Mundial no less, to drive them up the wall Their fans ran over to ours to applaud us at the end and months later I could see Newcastle shirts being worn at Bilbao games on DSF.

Well interestingly, a good mate I met in London the night before Brighton away was exactly like this. He was surprised I wasn’t bragging and was magnanimous in general. My mate in Boldon has been the exact opposite, constantly puts words into my mouth about the situation and despite me being on Russia on the day of the invasion made a cunty attempt to link the two things. Like that was his opener. Two bright lads as it happens. Guess which one is a Ready to Go regular Edited July 5, 2022 by Hovagod Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
