Weelllll shit, we have different opinions 'Stay grounded' is sage advice. Else the next thing you know we'll be signing up for the European Soooooper League! The local derby is an important part of a football season. In its absence something is missing. I've hated the derby ever since I was feeling rough but went to a home one (we lost, cunt Rowell 70's) and missed next home game, because of tonsillitis, where we battered Wolves iirc, and we didn't batter many back then as we were unrelentingly shit. I much prefer the ability to ridicule them 365 days a year without any risk of getting stick from them for a few days here and there.

Make no mistake, I'm looking forward to the ambitious journey PIF will take us on, but you never forget your roots. The NE derby is steeped in tradition and something that transcends football - the rivalry between the two clubs is the most visible remaining representation of the generations-long political battle between the two cities. When I look at what’s happening around the region apropos identity there’s absolutely no danger of us losing it & if anything with Wor Flags & the rise of Sam Fender it’s absolutely flourishing. Im not bothered about the derbies personally, there’s not many I’ve enjoyed down the years. Obviously now it’ll be different, we’re so far ahead of them and that’s not going to change for a very, very long time it at all. I know some decent Sunderland fans, but on a whole if they suffer collectively in this 3rd division purgatory I’ll have a little laugh at it. When they got relegated to league one I was watching soccer Saturday with a can and the guitar. I just laughed. It was hilarious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get lots of people who support a big club but have a fondness for a lower league one, so the Sunderland lads in the future who support us could be like that Edited February 10, 2022 by Alex 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meenzer 14031 Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 With few years and a fair wind, Gateshead or South Shields might become our legitimate local rivals anyway.

Tom 13836 Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Bar Loco used to be the best place to go for a pint before everyone clocked on. You could get a pint easily and leave for the match at 14:45 Not always good like, I’d be neck deep in pints. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
