In the one I mentioned it was usually one person starting of by shouting "al give you an N". The crowd would simply shout "N.N". Would go through the whole spelling of Newcastle letter by letter doing the same. After we'd done the "E,E" we'd sing 1234, listen to the geordies roar - Newcastle!...Newcastle!. The Newcastle bit at the end was in the same style as when the mackems sing Sunderland at the end of that "Wise men say" shite.

That sounds class

Btw in terms of noise, if not songbook, I do think our away fans are one of, if not the, best still. Shit over anyone that comes to our place.

 

 


 

This was great. Shame the longer version wasn’t kept up on YouTube as this version doesn’t quite do it justice.


 

But I think this was arguably our best performance of modern times.

I was there and it was very good but I’d say West Brom away in the FA cup just before the Covid lockdown was better

Maybe controversial, but for me any Sunderland song is a loss. I don't think there's anything better, or anything that winds them up more than us not even acknowledging their existence. If we can do that for real, even better, because as Keegan used to say we should be above that.

 

Would give a pass to Any O'Brien just because it's funny (however inappropriate for a team fielding no O'Briens) but in general, absolutely agree :thup:

Aye, the Scoreboard looked canny but obviously not as good as "THE CORNER".:indi:

Aye... great times.:mick:

 

Aways preferred the Scoreboard when I started going with my school mates in the late 80s until we got season tickets in the seats in '91. Think the corner was a bit too wild for me!

Agree with that. Man Utd are decent (when they're winning), Leeds are OK (although never that loud up here) and that's about it. I was in the next block along from the Liverpool fans at SJP the other week and they were terrible considering they had the game wrapped up early in.

Made the nearly fatal mistake of standing behind a crush barrier in the “corner” as a 13 year old. The equaliser against Chelsea nearly caused me being crushed death.  Stood in front of the barriers after that!

Identical story. Used to be in the scoreboard segment but near the front, me and my mate always thought one day we'd evolve to be in the corner.

As it happened because of over-crowding we ended up in the Paddock instead and I then sat in the East Stand for years from Leicester in 91/92 (first home win, so it started as a superstition)

 

Just read about Derby fans complaining about atmopshere at their place being accused of sexism as women on their phones seemed to be a major gripe.

I hadn't even factored in phone things when suggesting this is a generational thing. Still convinced it is. Its never going to be like it was anywhere, excepting the exceptions of clubs riding their highest wave in generations like Forest.

Man City a good demonstration today of that standing is not enough (while I do really want it). Large home safe standing section next to us and was hardly any singing. 

 

Early kick off tbf. Every single atmosphere for a 12:30 kick off is absolutely shite. It's a time slot that should be binned imo, no one likes it.
