Sunderland, in the next 5 years, will never do to any team what we did to Aston Villa in that first half. They’re about to get a harsh lesson off West Ham 

 

Gemmillesque level of predictions!

a long long path to tread....

 

The Road goes ever on and on,
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say

It must be nearly half seven for you is it? I'm hearing Club Tropicana in the background as you head to the pool bar for some mocktails after you over did it last night.

:lol: Fucking hell. Hope it stays in place the whole match.

Up until I read this, I thought someone had put a hologram over a picture. That was a worry in itself. 

This is what I mean. How can anyone hate a club that offers these things? 

So many opportunities to realise it was a stupid idea. 1 The idea 2 The idea said out loud 3 Seeing it as an image 4 the feedback from the company making it.

re. The morlocks trying to claim The Lambton Worm as theirs :lol:

 

Seriously though, they can fuck right off. 
 

My Grandad Jimmy used to sing this to me and my brother when we were kids* 
 

He was a Washington born and bred miner, black and white through and through, and he had the most incredible Durham miners Pitmatic dialect. 
I can still hear it in his voice every time, he’d roll his R’s similarly to Northumbrian dialect, and him and the song are indivisible to me. 
 

So, aye, these fucking idiots thinking it’s theirs because they’ve hung some shitty net curtains is laughable. 
 

 


 

* he’d also tickle us while he sang it, which was one of those love/hate things. 
 

Loved the song, loved being tickled, but…

 

… he was a miner, his fingers were like rods of fucking titanium, which he’d sometimes forget, and then it knacked. 
 

 

He was some boy- 5’. 1” ( at best) wiry as fuck, and even in his dotage he was a handsome bastard. 
Looked a bit like Jim Dale from the Carry-On movies, if he’d had a kid with young Vladimir Putin :lol:

Probably closer than you’d think. 
 

Late 30s, might even be his 40th night out 

( it was taken in the Cross Keys in Washy Village, which was his local )

Sorry to bang on about my Grandad, but when my Dad was on his way out with brain cancer, one of the ways it affected him was that he lost a lot of inhibitions- one of which was that he told me about my Grandad, when he was dying, wanting to make it clear he wasn’t a coward. 
This was about him not being allowed to go to war in WW2, since he was a miner and it was as protected occupation- vital to the country’s ability to produce weapons and goods for the war effort. 
Still, it apparently played on his mind for the rest of his life. 
I don’t think he was unique in that respect, either, since so many men in the North East would’ve been in the same boat. 
He, and all his fellow miners, worked 12hr shifts underground, for 6 and a half days a week, hand hewing coal to keep the country and the war effort running, yet he felt he’d somehow been less of a man than those who actually fought. 
 

I think this explains a lot of issues that happened here and in other coal producing areas of the UK in the post-war years, and, please correct me if I’m wrong, but the miners never really got the recognition for that effort that they perhaps should have? 
 

 

Anyway, fuck these Morlock muppets, The Lambton Worm is not a sunderland song, it’s a bit of North East folk history and fuck then for trying to appropriate it.

They're obsessed with how Tyne & Wear is a mag construct and how they're still really in County Durham. Well my dimwitted friends if we go back to pre-1974 borders then the western boundary of Sunderland becomes the A19 again so you lose Penshaw monument along with the worm, Nissan and Washington.

Bang on. 
 

Their idea of “sunderland” is a totally arbitrary construct that’s younger than my foreskin. 
 

The regional and social history of this song and story is something that these fucking dipshits would struggle to conceive, if you could be arsed to try and explain it them. 
 

Just because some bearded fuck with more tattoos than brain cells decides to make a net curtain based on The Lambton Worm, doesn’t make it theirs

 

Like so much of their “history”, it’s invented bullshit. 
 

 Had anyone ever heard of the Black Cats before they decided that was their nickname? 
 

Had they fuck- made up bullshit. 
 

Have they ever actually sang the Lambton Worm at any of their games? 
 

Have they fuck ( even if they have, once, it’s hard to hear 30 people singing over the noise of crisp packets and toilet roll clattering around the empty stands). 
 

Some of their more sentient mob will inevitably point to us singing The Blaydon Races and screech,

” Whey marra, it’s abewt a ‘orse race in Blaydon- nowt to dae with the Maggy bastids. 
‘Istoricallewy, Blaydon was part of Cowenty Durham under the Vikings, so it’s ackshwelly a sunlin’ song! FTM”

 

We’ve sung this at SJP and around the grounds for almost as long as the song has existed, and started because one of the jockeys in the original races was a huge NUFC fan. 
It mentions specific places in Newcastle …

 

… the best they can muster about The Lambton Worm is that the river is the Wear, but let’s be honest, sunlin’ is neither the oldest, most well known, or most historic “city” on the Wear - Derrum would like a word. 
 

Rant over, fucking polydactyl mutants can fuck off :lol:
