Tom 13839 Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 A pair of comedy road signs mocking Newcastle United's relegation from the Premier League have been unveiled by cheeky Sunderland supporters. One sign, on the A184, has an arrow pointing towards Tyneside and reads: "Sid James' Park, the biggest stadium in the 'Fizzy Pop' league'." The other, on the road to Sunderland, says: "The Stadium of Light, the North East's only Premier League stadium." A video of the stunt was posted on the video sharing website YouTube. The signs have been fixed to empty posts which used to bear official road signs. Last month, Newcastle owner Mike Ashley put the club up for sale after saying sorry to fans for the mistakes which cost them relegation to the Coca Cola Championship. He said: "It's been catastrophic for everybody. I've lost my money and made terrible decisions." Earlier this week, Sunderland supporters made scores of bogus bids for Newcastle United when the club asked for offers via email. Newcastle fan John Monaghan, 35, of Heaton, said: "They are entitled to laugh, after all, we laughed at them when they were relegated in 2003 and then again in 2006. "But it's hard to find anything very funny at the moment if you're a Newcastle fan." http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/tyne/8095917.stm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom 13839 Posted June 11, 2009 Author Share Posted June 11, 2009 This one is quite hard for me to call, to be honest I can only think of Newcastle right now and despite our plight I'm looking forward to next season and I am up for it. They are revelling in it but I'm not fussed, a yo-yo club who has managed two years in the premier league currently, who narrowly stayed up last year should think before they speak. At the end of the day the biggest emotional feeling these people have received from football comes from our position and not theirs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitman 2188 Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 Muppets. Might be more convincing if they hadn't been such a yo yo club themselves. Still what goes around comes around and we've been laughing ourselves stupid at Sunderlol for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob W 0 Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 regretfully this is the price we pay for failure at SJP - being mocked by the stupid, retarded morons from the south they've kept their mouths shut for quite a few years but you can't chaneg them - the old cloven hoof is always there and it'll get worse.......

Was tempted to pull them down, but it would be harsh to spoil something that brings enjoyment to so many simpletons. Almost like abusing the mentally ill.

Comically, they took the piss out of "boycoutt" but are completely incapable of using an apostrophe in their sign (incidentally, made by the owner of the sign-making company - not a good advert for accuracy!)

At the end of the day the biggest emotional feeling these people have received from football comes from our position and not theirs. Cant fight our corner in that one, a yo-yo club we have been. But times have now changed, your in the championship with no owners, no manager, probably very little to spend on transfers next season and a full sqaud who are thrashing your wage bill and the majority of whom want to leave for bigger clubs. Whilsts we are in the Premiership with a New Manager looking to take us forward, A new board who will give us full backing and plenty of money for transfers and a future, that if managed correctly, looks bright.
