McFaul

Ba will be alright, but Shola, Best, Ranger and Lovenkrands are all Cardiff/Birmingham level at best. I've said for weeks we need to ship some of these cunts out and get two QUALITY strikers. You don't have to be that good to come 7th and we're a potent strikeforce away from that being a target we should aim for.

I'm abstaining, a yes vote is a vote for the mugs who think this regime are doing well for the club.

If you're a mackem under the age of 30. You've basically had one opportunity to see a Sunderland victory against Newcastle. If you weren't at the 2-1, you would've been under 8 years of age for the play off game, and only 750 of them were at the first 2-1, and 3000 at the second. Say there's 100,000 Sunderland fans under the age of 30, a reasonable figure I'd say, probably 85,000 of them have NEVER seen Sunderland beat Newcastle in the flesh. Shouldn't laugh but

See the rivalry with the mackems. I think in terms of depth of hatred it's worse now then it's ever been. I think they hate us more than we hate them, it's as much pity as dislike from our side, I don't like the cunts at all collectively they are a joke peoples. We've all heard the tales from OC's how they knew people who'd go there one week on SJP the next in the 40's and 50's, can't even comprehend that to be honest. I think if you look at 1985 when we "took" the Fulwell End, 2000 toon fans in there and not one punch thrown by a mackem, look at the footage on youtube. These days you hear of stabbings and the Shields Ferry landing incident summed up the feeling these days. We were even banned from each others grounds in 1996/97, but I think two things happened which heightened it football wise. The Gillingham game in 87 where 500 toon went in the away end to celebrate their relegation to Division 3, and also the play off defeat here, which none of us will ever forget. Politically there's always been a hatred between mackems and geordies, but the reason I'm writing this is what emphasised to me how bad it's got in the last 30 years was, someones just pointed out to me we played the mackems twice in August 1981, in FRIENDLIES. One doon there and one up here. Imagine that now, anyway I prefer the angry rivalry that exists now because they're mugs.

See there's over 5000 empties for Man Utd's first home game of the season tonight, might be their first league gate under 70,000 for a good few years. Sign of the times and it shows we're doing well to be getting 46-52,000 imo.

I think Alex mentioned, or someone did Jonny might have that the green has been proper dry lately, I've had none for about 2 month, but reading this post I think if that's the status quo, clearly Wearside doesn't have the same problem!! Fucking hell

I'll always associate this tune with beating the mackems now. The official Premier League tune it is now by the way too.

The classic one was beating Man Utd 5-0, then losing 2-0 at fucking Leicester.

Reading RTG the mackems are resigned to what I've been telling them for years. They are Sunderland and we are Newcastle, they're not supposed to win, and they rarely do. That really is the tale of the Tyne/Wear derby in the modern era.

I like the way Monkeys Fist went on Rice's profile just a few minutes after the game finished hehe

.....AND WE still fuckin won you arsehole. They've been saying for months this is the greatest squad they've had in the modern era, and now they're saying this is our worst, yet we still fucking won :icon_lol: <_< . Deservedly won. Our worst side ever (not quite mind) and we still beat them tell me what that says about this Wilkinsons/Netto/Lidl like club? Ignoring Larrson's handball incident for just a second. Which chance did they have that wasn't a routine save for Krul? I don't remember him ever being stretched, lets not forget Gyan's shot was miles off target & both of Sessengon's shots weren't any trouble at all - much like Cabaye's shot - pretty to look at & exciting but a premier league keeper - unless it's De Gea - will save them 99% of them time. If we are going to play his game Gosling should have scored, that's 0-2, Barton's was an inch offside 0-3, Barton's header should have gone in & Larrson should have been off - 0-4 but that's not the way football works is it? But I will say this - those chances were better than any that they had in the entire game. Hence why we had twice as many shots on target as them & they had five times as many shots off target then us - they were just hitting & hoping from outside the box half the time. They keep going on about their better team -but we are yet to see it & I'm sure the rest of the premier league are closer to our opinion than theirs. A good 20 minutes with no real chances doesn't win you a game. They had the one off the top of the bar which never looked like going in, but their best chance wasn't even a shot, was one in the first half where a good side would've scored from, Simpson (England's next right back in his own mind by the way) miles out of position Taylor got dragged right over to their left, and it was a lovely ball in, but not one of their strikers/midfielders made the routine run that would've seen a goal. THAT was their best chance. Arsenal prove you can have 70% of the ball, and Sunderland certainly didn't, but if you do fuck all with it what's the point. Like a pornstar with a 12 inch cock who can't get a hard on.

I went to school with him. Lived in Wallsend all his life, and lived 3 doors down from me. This photo was put up in the changing rooms at school for years. He still gets it brought up to this day, the poor cunt. quality tale. One thing that struck me about Ba when he came on on Saturday was how much he looks like Bubba off Forrest Gump. He narf does. I'd like to see Pards go back to 4 4 2 on Saturday though, and attack Fulham we can beat them, if we do it's probably our best start to a Premiership season for ten years. He never came on, on saturday, did he? Seen him ready to come on but then the ball went out for a throw and we took it quick before Webb the whistler blew for Full-time. Think Pardew just wanted Shola to get his heroes reception as he left the field. I remember him standing beside the 4th official, did he not come on? Pissed man. He still looks like Bubba though.

Over the moon with Saturdays result obviously and have been doing the old look at the next five games sketch and as I put on twitter the next five are easier on paper than the first two were. However, there's no point in getting carried away, the first half we were shite couldn't keep the ball, we still don't have much creativity, but the key stat for me is Krul's had three decent saves to make this season. We're shite but, we are very, very solid if the first two games are anything to go by. We remind me of Everton under Moyes, shite, boring, but we're going to get results, and that clown Williamson out of the equasion means we'll keep clean sheets. I'd take another scrappy 1-0 against Fulham. One thing I will say with certainty is though we'll not go down this season.

Have you ever had the abomination that is "salt and sauce"? Was in Edinburgh and got some chips. When asked if I wanted salt and sauce, I wasn't really sure what the story was but said yes. The twat put brown sauce all over the chips. Savages. That's like putting vinegar on your cornflakes. Odd people. Oh by the way when I was in that Blue Lagoon in Glasgow I saw a fried mars bar with my own eyes. They exist. Bamps. I had a deep fried mars bar in Dumfries. It was so fatty it made the brown paper it was wrapped in go see-through. Tasted like a chocolate doughnut more than anything. The chippy was connected to a sweet shop so they could do any chocolate bar you wanted I guess. Fancy a deep-fried Starbar if I'm ever passing that way again. Went to that rare thing, a decent southern chippy in Dagenham or Romford, The Golden Fish it was called. You got this pickled gherkin-like thing with it called a wally, never seen them before or since, presume its a North/south thing. There's loads of north south food things. Go in a chinkeys down London and ask them for gravy on ya chips and they look at you like you're accusing them of being a rapist.

Aye. Lost count of the amount of times I've went in there steaming after the match. The one on corner Clayton St/Pink Lane is canny too actually - once crowds have died down Proper hummin a reckon that n

To be fair THE best non toon chippy I've ever been to was about 92 the one behind the away end at Blundell Park. Fantastic.

There's a franchise of Dillon's shops, nearest one to me is Throckley and it's pish. I've heard Maguire's in Swalwell and Rowlands Gill are mint.

If in Edinburgh then I'd suggest you try L'Alba D'oro - http://www.lalbadoro.com/ or Rapido (both quite central and both places doe nice crisp chips, perfect batter and you can politely decline the lashings of salt'n'sauce that the fecking Glaswegian scum insist upon. Better still head out of town and up into Fife for the Anstruther Fish Bar - http://www.anstrutherfishbar.co.uk/. The owners of that place have also opened up a placed in Leith, which I haven't been to yet but friends have said is very nice - Tailend Fish Restaurant. Much further north, up on the Moray Firth, you'll find a wee place in Cullen called Linda's Fish & Chips where they'll take your order, fry it there and then and they also do a mean Cullen Skink as well. In Durham, I've tended to go to Mahan's in Gilesgate - never let us down yet and you get scraps if you ask for them as well. I had some chips right near Diane's pool hall in Edinburgh wasn't overly impressed but next time I'm up I'll have a look. I've had fish n chips in Glasgow, Inverness, Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Perth, Dunkeld and Eyemouth and not had a really decent one yet. I hope no one takes this for something it isn't, but foreign owned and ran chippies and nearly always absolutely shite. I don't want a chippy to sell kebabs or pizza's fish chips the odd pie and that'll dee.

I can remember going to one in Dundee and it was ridiculous the pricing was like £7 for fish and chips Best I've had here was 2 weeks ago in the moroe in town, elsewhere Scarbrough and Seaton Carew up by Hartlepool Ones in Newcastle in the suburbs are about £5.40, but where me sister lives in London in her village right, tiny portions, fish like a fuckin tadpole £9.50. Straight up.
