I guess we're at the south end of the mackem boom bust cycle currently.

Unless they’re tripping over penguins and frozen Victorian explorers, they’ve still got a fair bit of southward travel to go yet.

RTG have an “Airport Mags” thread 

 

This comment got me thinking…….the barman knew he was a Mackem cos he asked for a blue pop, cheese slice & was fingering his sister whilst jangling his keys

 that is a total fucking stupid, pointless lie.

 

What a set of dickheads they are, they're like their own support group. They're all lying, they all know they're lying, but it's making them feel better about thenselves so no one's prepared to produce the pin and burst the bubble. 

 

Proper sad sacks.

It’s the absolute lack of detail which makes their stories just that little bit more unbelievable

I dunno, remember the detail that one about the crisp with lions head went into?

A quick Google lens revealed the pointless lie in milliseconds.

[Renton 25084]

Meanwhile, this lad is upset that Going Home is our theme tune, maybe someone should let Mark Knopfler know it's used?

 

 

Oh.

 

 

Also maybe someone should contact Elvis yo see if he's okay with them using "Wise men say" [sic]?

Knopfler went to school in Gosforth, which was historically in County Durham.

Prokofiev was brought up in Hetton-le-Hole

And is a self-confessed fan of the club. 

These lot truly are a parody of themselves, aren't they?

[NJS 4818]

Bobby Robson was quoted several times as being a boyhood NUFC fan even if he was part of a generation where a lot of people went to both teams matches and may have done so himself but they won't have it and just because it was Lanchester, claim he must have been one of theirs. The cunts.

Apart from the obvious pisstaking and ripping their arguments to shreds, I quite liked Republica's 'ready to go' but after Sunderland hijacked it for one of their run out songs..... I still do. The fucking mental bastards.  I'm going to write a FURIOUS letter to the group from county Durham's famous Windsor, Berkshire estate and ask them if they're happy with their association with the club?

[Renton 25084]

Aye, they should come out to local music themselves.

I suggest Nelly the Elephant by the toy dolls or John Kettley is a weatherman by tribe of toffs. 👍

He talked openly on several occasions about his Dad taking him to SJP as a kid and how he wishes he had been around when he got the manager's job. 

This obsession they have in terms of geography and who you must support as a result of it is fucking insane. 

There's a lot of suggestion that Jackie Milburn grew up supporting Sunderland. He discretely would never be drawn on it and would divert conversation around it so I've always presumed that, despite being Ashington born a bred, there was probably some truth to it - in spite of geographical location.

“What is a club in any case? Not the buildings or the directors or the people who are paid to represent it. It’s not the television contracts, get-out clauses, marketing departments or executive boxes. It’s the noise, the passion, the feeling of belonging, the pride in your city. It’s a small boy clambering up stadium steps for the very first time, gripping his father’s hand, gawping at that hallowed stretch of turf beneath and, without being able to do a thing about it, falling in love.”
 

That makes fuck all sense in the context of SAFC tbh.

My mam used to work with the bassist out of the Toy Dolls. He was in the civil service. For some reason she got me a signed photo of the band.

 

I mean this was probably 1989, 5 years after they'd had their sole UK hit and this cheeky cunt was handing out signed photos at his job in the civil service.

Supposing he was for argument’s sake. Only they would take that as a win, given he became our record goalscorer and won three fa cups

I dunno, makes perfect sense if you read what he really said.

It’s not the television contracts in the third division marra, nar get-out clauses we didn’t have for that Jack Rodwell, not the non-existent marketing departments or executive boxes, ‘cos we have none. 

 

It’s not the noise, the passyen, or the feeling of belonging, neither, none of that. The pride in your city lolz. It’s a small boy clambering up stedyium steps for the very first time, on his free school ticket, gawping at the litter on that hallowed stretch of turf beneath him and, without being able to do a thing about it, singing “falling in love” by Elvis marra and claiming it as wors”.

And of course, the genocide.”

They might be right about the Bilbao connection mind.  I can't help but see the Spanish connection in Renton's version of a mackem accent. 

 

The passyen. The stedyium.

As well as the fact that their ultimate legend (Stokoe)  was born, lived all his life and died on Tyneside having captained NUFC to cup wins.

Precisely. And they appear to have no issue with the fact there's a statue outside their ground of a bloke, born in Prudhoe who played in the last Newcastle team to win the FA Cup - because of his subsequent allegiance to them. It makes fuck all sense to their argument. 

In terms of Milburn, one of the quotes I'm inferring was taken from an interview of him on the gallowgate terrace and was something like "Round here you either born red and white, or black and white, there's nothing else to it. I was fortunate to get to play for this team and quite honestly, I wish I was just getting started."

They had that hit in 82 and had changed bass players several times by 89 also
