  1. Don't know why it's come to mind but remember reading their programme v us around '89, the Roker Review, and every home match they'd have a fan profile where one of them would be picked to answer questions. One of the questions regularly asked was 'How do you celebrate a win against Newcastle?'* and I think about that every once in a blue moon. Their official match day programme, in at least in this small way, mentioned us every single home match. *The answer he gave? Well they hadn't beaten us for almost ten years at this point, but he said he'd head into Newcastle and buy the VHS tape of them beating us as there'd be no tapes left for sale in Sunderland. (He didn't say which shop in Newcastle he thought was going to sell a VHS tape of a non televised game where NUFC got beat but made up scenarios never seem to be a challenge for them I've noticed, and that includies their home programme in this case).

  3. We played more European ties under Ashley than they’ve played in their history, despite them having a billionaire who was prepared to spunk hundreds of millions on them at that time. That’s your chasm right there.

  8. What’s their obsession with referring to themselves as the best fans, and saying they’re known for it? I really don’t think they have the reputation they think they do. They do get good attendance figures for the most part, I’m not disputing that, but they very regularly abandon their side - it’s only when they decide to “show they’re better than the mags” or big pushes like Methvens whole break the attendance record for a third tier game that they get these bumper crowds. I mean even when they were turning things around to a degree in League One the minute results levelled off/a rough spell they all packed in going and abused the manager. Players and managers have consistently shown a desire to get the fuck out of the place. I mean Alex Neil walked out on them for the fucking Stoke job yet they still have this delusion they’re some massive draw . I honestly think they view themselves as the same as NUFC in terms of stature, how neutrals perceive them, etc simply because they’re close to us (in terms of distance) and see/hear about us a lot - when in reality there’s a fucking chasm between the two clubs even before the Saudi takeover.

  9. Aye but most of the sides who had already qualified fielded under strength teams in the last group match so it isn’t exactly a great comparison.

  13. When you put it into the context of a stadium full of morons booing players taking the knee I doubt the player takes it as a compliment and probably just feels like he's being dehumanised by a crowd/area with a racism problem.

  15. I think it's simple. Mitro is a great striker. But here he never entered into Rafa's plans. Rafa has always played with other types of strikers. It was useless to have a player like him in a system that didn't fit. Throughout his career, Mitro has shown that he is a player who, if you bring balls into the area, he scores goals. And honestly, I think it's a shame, because the guy was madly in love with the club. PS: I also think that he penalized him a lot when it came to having more opportunities for that Bad Boy fame that he earned here in the first weeks.

  18. He'll still be making up goals he scored. 'On my first day in hospital I saw an opportunity....I nutmegged the nurse, did a inverted backflip Rabona & volleyed a coffee cup into the medicine booth straight past a Dr...one of my best goals...yes...cameras? no...er nobody filmed it'

  20. That’s spot on like. It’s bollocks to suggest that there’s been some sort of unbroken thread from the sides who won 3 out of 5 58-70

  21. I just posed the question because commentators and pundits on the whole expect Brazil to play like 70 (or 82) seemingly. Whereas it’s not the way they normally play at World Cups

  24. I have never bought here and when I have needed something retro I have gone either to the originals of Classicfootballshirt or to the replicas of DhGate. But these are catalogs of Thai replicas and perhaps they can be good quality / price https://wavesoccer.x.yupoo.com/search/album?uid=1&q=newcastle https://wavesoccer.x.yupoo.com/search/image?uid=1&q=newcastle https://x.yupoo.com/photos/haidi0912/search/album?uid=1&q=newcastle

  26. In our circumstances Rafa made the right call. That team couldn't carry someone like Mitro.

  27. If my aunt had bollocks she'd be my uncle. Mitrovic wasn't doing anything for us at the time. It was right for him to be moved on.

  28. He looked a carthorse up here. Rafa had to get us promoted and I'd not have trusted him either; what he us doing now he wasn't capable of those years ago. Same with Toney.

  29. He scored in the Championship. It’s only at the third time of asking that he’s now scoring the PL. We got at least £22m for him which is good money for someone who was going to take four years to begin scoring PL goals.
