The Fish 9009 Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 I prefer Newcastle as a city centre too, to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 13877 Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Easily tbh. I like Liverpool and Manchester like but I don't think Newcastle is lacking in anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 30450 Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 If you walk round Sunderland with a Toon top on you'll likely get chinned. Do the reverse and you'll get laughed at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle at the very least holds its own with some and betters most. Mind, some of Europe hammers most of the UK cities I've been to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Kelly 1117 Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 I quite liked Leeds and Manchester last time I visited both cities. Manchester was very similar to Newcastle I thought, only bigger. I'm not a fan of London, Liverpool or Birmingham like. I wouldn't even compare Sunderland to any of those cities though. It's a town, it has a town mentality that puts it alongside the likes of Middlesbrough, Blackburn or Warrington (just picking towns I've visited).

strawb 3660 Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 I’m from boro, and used to play for Sunderland as a kid. Boro is better than Sunderland even if that’s not saying much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 19837 Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 so yes, much more like a blackburn, a burnley, a doncaster or a stoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 19837 Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 some interesting comments at the bottom of this blog. he did ask for it like https://www.ilivehere.co.uk/sunderland-why-god-why.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 19837 Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Sunderland is a hole, I was born there, lived there till my early twenties, moved away and then stupidly moved back again. It is full of chavs, it's the only place I've ever been where being intelligent is seen as a bad thing. It has no culture, unless you count taking speed, drinking, fighting and shaggin as culture. The town centre is an embarrassment, populated by retarded, fat, ugly, useless, ignorant, inbred, nylon clad chava scum. one of the comments from the piece. he's wrong though. i grew up in washington and being seen as intelligent was seen as a bad thing there too.

Ayatollah Hermione 12767 Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Think I might have mentioned this before but about 6-7 years ago, my lass at the time lived in Sunderland since she was at uni there. Anyway, there was a (decent) chip shop just down the road from hers so I went there one night for our tea for a pizza for the two of us. I was walking out, pizza in hand, back along to hers and this lad stopped me and asked if I had any change. I said "nar, I've just bought this" to which he replied "Well, giz a slice of ya pizza then" I think I just laughed and kept walking and, to this day, I've never known blatant cheek like it.

Tom 13877 Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 My brother once had similar in Chester-le-street. Bloke didn't like the answer so smacked the pizza out of my brothers hand. My brother decked him but that doesn't bring the pizza back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've ever been to. There's a place called Waukegan in Illinois that might run it close. Edited October 20, 2017 by adios Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strawb 3660 Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Tbf fair to all the above abuse, boro is a shite hole as well. It’s why I left. Aye I did play for Sunderland for a couple of years as a teenager (turned up in a Newcastle top to my first training) but it was a chance at a professional club after sheff wed didn’t work out, so you can gobble my plums fish.

Only thing that could possibly be classed as half decent here now is a Wicket Gate place which is jam packed full every weekend anyway, so you'll get your proportion of knob ends in there.
