It’s odd they lay claim to Durham Cathedral like. Well it isn’t odd because that’s the way they tiny, petty minds work I suppose. Sunderland is only nominally a city and Durham has an ancient cathedral and a world renowned university (as well as giving its name to the county the mackems seem to think they own). So, if anything Durham would lay claim to Sunderland, except no fucker in their right mind would want it. Bobby Robson spoke about the pride in the city and that’s what Newcastle fans from all over seem to have whereas take your average Sunderland fan from somewhere like Consett and the only connection they have with Sunderland is the football team because the place is such a fucking shit hole. It boils their piss because they know it’s true.
