Papa Lazaru 0 Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 The Mackem's win lifted us to the top half of the table! 38728[/snapback] They'll be gutted now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asprilla 96 Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 HA! Top half I'm sorry, but I don't hate Sunderland. I'm sure some may think that stops me being a true fan. I dislike Boro though. Grotty place and a dull team. Also that "called off" game last year or the year before. Just out of interest, why DO you hate Sunderland. Is it just the local rivalry thing? Or just cause it's the done thing? I can understand certain rivalries that come up, but just because they're geographically close? *expects massive abuse but hopes for the best* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it makes things more interesting, especially when you play them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's a touchy subject. I hear you on the fans getting under your skin, year in year out. I just always thought it would be amusing and patronising to ignore them. Like Spurs hate Arsenal, but Arsenal hating ManU as they are true rivals. And like England hating Germany but not caring so much about Scotland.

And part of it is fun really having a hated rival, as i don't go in for any of the violence (fortunately not common) or hating people simply because they're mackems, if they're a decent person who they support doesn't matter. And you're right, the old indifference or not caring about them can wind people up well. Its like with the smoggies, no matter how much they try to make it count, the real derby match is always us versus the mackems and alot of smogs can be wound up by telling them how insignificant the are and that nobody gives a toss about playing them!

Ketsbaia 0 Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 I hate both Sunderland and Boro. I hate the Mackems because they're our local rivals and I hate 'Boro because their fans are up their own arses and they think they're our local rivals - they're a small town in Yorkshire.

Jusoda Kid 1 Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 I hate Boro as much as the mackems after the carry on with them cancelling matches but i do have sunderland in the goalbuster at work so I'm happy with todays result. Show's how shit Boro are as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sima Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 Rochemback - Shite 38721[/snapback] I concur. That ranked alongside Fumaca's performace v Palace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaser 1053 Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 i dislike Boro more than i dislike Sun'lund purely because ive been to school with Boro fans and worked with them too. Started to work with Sun'lun fans now tho so will be interesting to see whether my outlook changes. Sun'lun are at least a fairly big team whereas Boro are just playing at it.

Womblemaster 0 Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 i was in a sports bar in Budapest yesterday, hoping that the toon game may be on satellite. only other customers in there was 2 boro fans, who claimed they were checking the place out 'ahead of the game tomorw' One of them was wearing an 'azuri' (italian) footy shirt. Guess they didnt want the embarasment of having to explain where boro was...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boro and the unwashed can fight it out between themselves, regardless of where we are in the league. I don't want any part of this 'top dogs' shit.

sweetleftpeg 0 Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 Bastard Boro. A team I couldn't give two shits about but keep pushing my buttons. The only good thing is at least the mackems won't come to SJP with the winless record, because we all know what would have happened there. If a good thing is to come out of it, then at least it'll shut Bernie fucking Slaven up. NOT A FUCKING DERBY! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WubbleUC 0 Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 Newcastle v Sunderland is a Derby game. Newcastle v Middlesborough is not a Derby game. Sunderland v Middlesborough is whatever the fuck they want it to be. It doesn't concern me. For 90 minutes yesterday, I wanted the Mackems to win. It's kicked us up into the top half of the table, which will no doubt piss them off. It's got them thier win, which means they wont come to our place winless, which would have been dodgy. Ultimately, if the Mackems winning helps us out, them I'm not going to sit there and wish they were getting wellied. As for the Smogs? They're just another team that I cannot stand. They go hand in hand with Spurs, Wolves and Everton for me. Have no time for any of them. There are various reasons for most of them, but the one that stands out most is that thier fans can be total tossers when they want to be, and they've all got various massive chips on thier shoulders. tbh.

I just think they are a football irrelevance, they simply have no reason to exist. If only Gibson was our chairman, imagine what he could have achieved!

Aye, I've had this conversation many times mate. I've personally only ever met one person from the Boro' who isn't a football fan. They were indeed a breath of fresh air (!) compared to the regular football types I meet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
