".....and then we went to Rome on wa holidays and I hit a juventus fan with a placca sword cos I thought he was a mag."

UB40 covered I Can’t Help Falling In Love With You and loads of Mackems are on the dole. So that’s another link

when I was kid me old man had a couple of routes in to newcastle, me favourite was to go down swalwell bank, over the scotswood bridge and along road past the armstrong vickers factory. I remember being in awe of the size of the place but mostly of the tanks parked outside it. can always remember too going past the robin adair pub. apparently the original one mentioned in the song was on the factory side of scotswood rd and the 'modern' one i remember was built opposite where it used to stand. never ever went in there even when i was old enough to do so, despite going past it on countless occasions. always used to think it looked like the sort of pub you'd go in if you placed no value on your life, sure they used to have a couple of rottweilers prowling about on the flat roof!

Sly and the Family Stone were class. And special mention to Frederick Forsyth for inspiring my username of about 25 years ago on RTG (DaveTheJackal).

Pretty sure George "Geordie" Ridley was a MLF marra until 1992 and Keegoon, along with Bobby Robson, Wor Jackie and Sam Fender. 👍

Also thought he was dead for a moment there! I saw them at the Mayfair in the very early 90s. My mate from school saw them recently and said they were still great live.

Two kids playing: "..... I'll be him and you can be the other one." "....and then I went over there." "....and then you go there." "....and then we both run back over there but we now have a dog." "..... And then I bump into another fan and he tells me he hates the mags anaarl." "....and then you tell him that we formed Bilbao." ".....and then he tells me everyone on his message board thinks Sunderland till I die was mint." "....and then you say how you many times Americans have told you they admire Sunderland football club." "....and then I bump into a mag and tell him how much I don't like him." ".....and then I offer him out and he gets scared and looks down at the ground and doesn't say anything." ".... And then an Everton fan joins us telling us we're great and poocastle are rubbish." ".... And all the other fans in the world tell us they think wise men say is our song and not been sung by other clubs like wolves and that." "....and then mam taks us into McDonald's in London and everyone claps at us when we walk out with our happy meal." "....and then I'm chris Rigg and you can be Lamal but I'm better." ".....and then...." Mam: "COME ON!! YOUR TEA'S READY!"

You’ll be questioning their fictitious role in the English Civil War and their part in the formation of Athletic Bilbao next.

Let’s also remember the song was written before Blaydon became part of County Durham.

Not only a song set exclusively in Tyneside, it fucking charts a journey from the centre of Newcastle out west towards Blaydon. Sunderland is in opposite direction yet it's about them?

Couple of things about these retarded morons: 1. Elvis never released a track called "Wise Men Say". If you're going to stake claim to something, at least know the title and don't just recite the first line. 2. They've no more claim of ownership to this than we do with Hey Jude ... which we stake absolutely no claim of ownership on. Absolute fucking melts.

Apart from that they claim the author of the song. Because Tyneside born, George ‘Geordie’ Ridley was from Gateshead, which was then in Durham. Which is another odd one given that (much like Blaydon itself) it’s overwhelmingly black and white. So aye, a Tyneside song set exclusively on Tyneside written by a Tynesider is, in fact, a stolen massive lads’ song. No doubt in large part thanks to the magedia and that mysterious cabal of businessmen.

Was thinking similar. Just the latest scramble for some form of identity. They should have a public vote on their official anthem. Just like they needed one for their official nickname (which I can’t recall anyone else needing to do, certainly not a ‘sleeping giant’ at least). Maybe if the rumours are true and we change our badge then they can change theirs to a similar style (again). Although should we get a shiny new state of the art 60 thousand seater stadium I’m not so sure they’ll be trying to match or beat that this time.

As if Cristiano Ronaldo understands the concept of consent.

He’ll be on some sort of watch list now.

What makes you think he's broon breed?

I remember them singing it at roker but they sang 'if you hate Newcastle/aye yi yippee' song far, far more which is pretty apt for them. Also remember them chanting 'Jackie is dead' from the main stand even though Milburn had been dead about a year at that point which was, of course, really classy by the classy fans.

anybody else watch the nations cup final the other night? been full of admiration for lots of our players over the years, but never once contemplated knocking up a little placard to hold aloft in the stands.....

Nobody wants that, Andrew.

I'd love to print a map with Collingwood street and all the other places mentioned in it apart from Blaydon onto a brick and then cave his skull in with it.

Im not having us bumping this like J69s Sutton/Shola prediction.

He will be at some point tbf to PL.

Did you hear about the guy in Chicago that told a mackem vacationer how he heard it clear as day on ESPN in the play off final? It made his hairs on the back of his neck stick up. He also said he hated the mags anarl.

The Cambridge and Oxford boat race is, I'll give you that one. As for football? The richest clubs, the ones with the richest owners usually did the best, even in the days of amateur football where a rich owner would employ a talented footballer at his mill or whatever, that's now been stopped by the clubs who've benefited from it in the past and don't want to overtaken by anyone else. The blue riband event in English football was always the cup, Liverpool didn't win their first until 1965, who would argue that Liverpool aren't one of the two biggest clubs in England right now? You have to have a chance to grow as a club and that is now being denied to other clubs who are ambitious and have the means to truly compete.
