* 1976/77 and of course we also 'stitched' them up on the last day of 1996/97.Any group of people is going to contain a spectrum of intelligence, personality, aggression etc. They are no different, nor are we. Not all Leeds fans are violent, racist scum and not all Norwich or Swindon fans are inbred village idiots.
This Sunderland thing is a bit weird though. I was at the game in 77/78 and all the huge fuss about it seems only to have come about in the last couple of years. Coincides with their decline I think. When they were doing well they didn’t care, now they’re looking for someone to be bitter towards. Given that it was 40 years ago most of the ones banging on about it either weren’t born or must have been infant prodigies to recall it. And they’d have done the same!
Talked to a Brizzle City fan a few weeks ago & they are detested by the Mackems too. Perhaps not as much as us but they are equally blamed for the sterile last 15 minutes of THAT game !Coventry City are the number one cause for divorce in Tyne and Wear apparently.
An idea for another reality TV show!I think fans like a common 'pantomime villain' that they can hate - think we're an obvious sideshow compared to Newcastle (for obvious reasons - they really don't like each other). I always thought it would be kind of funny if two sets of fans who detested each other were mixed up in a pub (particularly where accents weren't a giveaway) and they were all temporarily blinded for a bit - it would be really funny for them working out who was meant to hate who. A bit weird, I know, but I sometimes think things like this!
Yeah I heard his interview last night.Loooooooool
Yeah I heard his interview last night.
It was gibberish ,the pay must be well worth it.
I'm sure we had a delayed start recently at an away game? It was down to heavy traffic if I remember. Just can't place where? I remember posting at the time that we should look out for the shit from Scumderland fans!I'm absolutely devasted they are struggling. I might have to end it all.
Surely they can find some sort of link that we are infact to blame for them getting relegated this season.
Infact have we kicked off late anytime this season, can someone check this before they rant about us.
Horrible pathetic shit club always in the shadow of their more illustrious neighbour
Thinking back, wasn't it the FA Cup game at Brighton?I'm sure we had a delayed start recently at an away game? It was down to heavy traffic if I remember. Just can't place where? I remember posting at the time that we should look out for the shit from Scumderland fans!
We’ve played Sunderland a lot of times since the incident and I’ve never really detected any animosity amongst fans.
Is it just exaggerated by the forum society we now live in?

It's a fair point G, but as we know the Internet gives us all a voice, and theirs albeit mainly on their forum has been pretty vitriolic, certainly the morons celebrating the death of Jimmy Hill.We’ve played Sunderland a lot of times since the incident and I’ve never really detected any animosity amongst fans.

TBF I couldn't give a monkeys about them or this rediculous vendetta they percieve ,I've just had a bit of fun with now't better to do.
But what will rankle me about them and their team Is Nick Summrrbee and that shocking career ending tackle on Steve Froggat.
He should have taken out a civil action in the courts for that one.
And our players should keep possession of the ball and not let them have it!If we were to go up and play them next year, somebody with the knowhow should get a load of Jimmy Hill masks made up and sell them before the game, all profits to the Jimmy Hill legacy fund.
If there's a poll in the local Sunderland rag asking if they should stick with Coleman for next season we should all go on their site and vote yes!Just point out to them, that if they’d of won their last game that season, they’d of stayed up. Survival was in their own hands, and they fucked it up. But they forget that, and would rather blame us instead. Complete bunch of northern tossers.
Vote Coleman for manager of the season!
