mackem messageboard gold

[Monkeys Fist 47037]

Literally every other team in the entire football leagues’ messageboards will be discussing their transfer business or lack of it. 
 

 

Except these fucking gonks. 
 

 

They’re fucking obsessed with how they’re seen by others, and think that  singing a 64yr old song by a lad that died having a shite will improve their image. 
 

A survey of 1000 people from all points of the globe has just come in. 
 

“ What do you think of sunderland?”

 

1- Never heard of it, is it one of those Swedish cop dramas? 78%
2- Am I getting paid for this? 15%
3- Isn’t that where their council had to ask them not to shit on their town centre streets? 5%
4- Wasn’t that the comedy show on Netflix? 1%
5- My Uncle Milton played for them in between jobs as a butcher and postman. 1%

Really, if they’re going to be known for singing an Elvis song, it should be In The Ghetto, the scruffy fucking tramps. 

 

Cher has a strong claim for 'Gypsies, tramps and thieves' iyam?

Could also use this Cockney Rejects classic in honour of the Phantom Crapper of Olde Sunderland Towne.

This shit again. 😆 

 

The Blaydon Races was set in county Durham marra, it's a MLF song.

Meanwhile wise men say, penned in Memphis, Wearside.

They could probably do with a little less conversation on the point.

Elvis starred in Blue Hawaii though, so that's close enough to blue pop for them to rightfully have a claim 

[Howmanheyman 38643]

Every MLF knows that in 1956, frustrated by the mysterious cabal of Tyneside businessmen and their machinations of keeping Wearside down to boost Tyneside, Elvis Presley performed 'don't be cruel' as a plea to the MCTB to give Sunderland a break. From then on he was given the honorary title of the 'Memphis Marra'. True story.

I've been to both roker park and their new place numerous times.

I've seen them play at our place numerous times.

I've never, not even once, heard them sing their iconic, globally recognised anthem either tunelessly or in perfect harmony.

bizarre.

Truth rarely matters in a historical MLF piece.

Did you hear about the guy in Chicago that told a mackem vacationer how he heard it clear as day on ESPN in the play off final? It made his hairs on the back of his neck stick up. He also said he hated the mags anarl.

I'd love to print a map with Collingwood street and all the other places mentioned in it apart from Blaydon onto a brick and then cave his skull in with it.

I remember them singing it at roker but they sang 'if you hate Newcastle/aye yi yippee' song far, far more which is pretty apt for them. 

 

Also remember them chanting 'Jackie is dead' from the main stand even though Milburn had been dead about a year at that point which was, of course, really classy by the classy fans.

Was thinking similar. Just the latest scramble for some form of identity. They should have a public vote on their official anthem. Just like they needed one for their official nickname (which I can’t recall anyone else needing to do, certainly not a ‘sleeping giant’ at least). Maybe if the rumours are true and we change our badge then they can change theirs to a similar style (again). Although should we get a shiny new state of the art 60 thousand seater stadium I’m not so sure they’ll be trying to match or beat that this time.

Apart from that they claim the author of the song. Because Tyneside born, George ‘Geordie’ Ridley was from Gateshead, which was then in Durham. Which is another odd one given that (much like Blaydon itself) it’s overwhelmingly black and white. So aye, a Tyneside song set exclusively on Tyneside written by a Tynesider is, in fact, a stolen massive lads’ song. No doubt in large part thanks to the magedia and that mysterious cabal of businessmen.

Couple of things about these retarded morons:

1. Elvis never released a track called "Wise Men Say". If you're going to stake claim to something, at least know the title and don't just recite the first line.

2. They've no more claim of ownership to this than we do with Hey Jude ... which we stake absolutely no claim of ownership on.

Absolute fucking melts.

Not only a song set exclusively in Tyneside, it fucking charts a journey from the centre of Newcastle out west towards Blaydon. Sunderland is in opposite direction yet it's about them?

[Kevin Carr's Gloves 4480]

Let’s also remember the song was written before Blaydon became part of County Durham.

You’ll be questioning their fictitious role in the English Civil War and their part in the formation of Athletic Bilbao next.

Two kids playing:

 

"..... I'll be him and you can be the other one."

 

"....and then I went over there."

 

"....and then you go there."

 

"....and then we both run back over there but we now have a dog."

 

"..... And then I bump into another fan and he tells me he hates the mags anaarl."

 

"....and then you tell him that we formed Bilbao."

 

".....and then he tells me everyone on his message board thinks Sunderland till I die was mint."

 

"....and then you say how you many times Americans have told you they admire Sunderland football club."

 

"....and then I bump into a mag and tell him how much I don't like him."

 

".....and then I offer him out and he gets scared and looks down at the ground and doesn't say anything."

 

".... And then an Everton fan joins us telling us we're great and poocastle are rubbish."

 

".... And all the other fans in the world tell us they think wise men say is our song and not been sung by other clubs like wolves and that."

 

"....and then mam taks us into McDonald's in London and everyone claps at us when we walk out with our happy meal."

 

"....and then I'm chris Rigg and you can be Lamal but I'm better."

 

".....and then...."

 

Mam: "COME ON!! YOUR TEA'S READY!"

Pretty sure George "Geordie" Ridley was a MLF marra until 1992 and Keegoon, along with Bobby Robson, Wor Jackie and Sam Fender. 👍

when I was kid me old man had a couple of routes in to newcastle, me favourite was to go down swalwell bank, over the scotswood bridge and along road past the armstrong vickers factory. I remember being in awe of the size of the place but mostly of the tanks parked outside it.

can always remember too going past the robin adair pub. apparently the original one mentioned in the song was on the factory side of scotswood rd and the 'modern' one i remember was built opposite where it used to stand. never ever went in there even when i was old enough to do so, despite going past it on countless occasions.

always used to think it looked like the sort of pub you'd go in if you placed no value on your life, sure they used to have a couple of rottweilers prowling about on the flat roof!
