I don't shut up, ever. I never stop talking and I'm usually talking about football. In all my days talking about football with fans of other clubs, not once have those oddities ever come up in conversation. There've been fans of clubs who hate Newcastle, those that don't care and those that have a soft spot for us. They've never pivoted the conversation to talk about Sunderland, unless it's to say how funny that Netflix show was. If real life were anything like the fantasy that these fuckers create, I'd be having my eared chewed off by a Barcelona fan saying how much he respects the job Tony Mowbray is doing, or a Wimbledon fan saying how much he prefers Sunderland fans to us, or a Man Utd fan saying that the Poznan was just a lovely bit of banter from a classy bunch of lads. It doesn't happen though, because nobody else cares about them. To the wider football world, they're just another football club. Like Coventry, or Reading. They exist, and they get bums on seats for 70 minutes or so. When away fans have to follow their team into Mordor, they either stay 15 miles away in Newcastle or get the fuck out ASAP. When they get them in the cup it'll be shrugged off as another unglamorous tie. Their football is mediocre, their managers are uninspiring, their stadium is generic, their atmosphere is flat, their city is a shithole, their people are at best insular at worst bigoted. The only thing that raises any eyebrow of recognition is because of their link to us. The only light that reaches Sunderland is what's left over from the massive spotlight that's on Newcastle, like that faint corona that remains as the sun is obscured by the moon.

fuck me, I've gone and got the email....

He's got the special "only fans" T shirt I hear

CT's a weighted member and he was unlucky, weighting obviously not a factor

And I got an e-mail from NUFC! Season ticket renewal bill! Canny.

Mackems really do think they’re Barcelona or something

They are canny sad mind, I just can’t imagine wanting to sit round and listen to people talk shite whilst NUFC chants spontaneously pop up in the background. The idea these people are more knowledgeable than the average fan is absurd & one of them is tory. No thanks. Just another way of cashing in on the fans. No better than the baldy “actor”.

If the Mackem actually did brush up against reality they'd know Partisan have a thing where they follow other teams in other countries who play in black and white and because of Red star despise all red and white teams. Reality bites.

just as an aside.... my mate (aka chauffeur) who had a fuck off massive stroke 10 years or so got one (p4) today. poor fucker spent 5 months in hospital 'locked in', been a long hard slog for him over the last six or 7 years regaining his speech, mobility etc. obviously during that time his season ticket lapsed. his 2 kids chipped in and bought him one for the beginning of the 21/22 season to celebrate him getting his driving license back, so he really hit the jackpot there! delighted for him after what he's been through.

This is looking quite the mackem trait isn't it? "Yaz are foreva tayanted now, like." [NUFC fan comes out with something reasonable and MLF can't answer back] Next day..... "Ah telt one of the fuckas yesterda like, ey just mumbled something back in embarrassment and was virtually clamped like, if he wasn't usually a deceynt enough lad for a mag ah might have took it a bit futher."

Same as this tweet, they really don’t understand when they look like absolute fucking gimps. Special note for bringing up a bloke they care so dearly about yet they don’t even know his actual name btw

Sofa so good

POST OF THE DECADE

You forgot about the burts

Aye but marra it was cold owitside and wuz had work the next day. FTM

They've managed the impossible. For Paul Ince to come out as likable.

Will they fuckers like “Since Newcastle/PIF all bets are off” will be their utterly bullshit line, immediately forgetting their implied and tacit support for “Putin’s banker” at Chelsea for 20 fucking years

Holt, Delaney and co will be up in arms and will endeavour to prevent this too 👍🏻

My work mate checked his bank for any pending payments and saw the word "Newcastle" and for one glorius millisecond sheer ecstasy..........then saw "Building Society".............BOLLOCKS

Mrs Wykiki booted him out after she caught him hate-wanking to that lass off the podcast.

Showed my mates the tattoos I got recently in Malaga, and they were surprised at the level of detail on them. I said, aye… I’ll just see myself out, thanks.

If you ever wanted to sum up everything about their fanbase it would be that Bilbao Black Cats shite

I’m not going to look for the thread that is the source of the definitely true Partizan Belgrade story, but I’d be fairly fucking confident that it’s been generated off the back of Mitrovic’s comments after their comfortable loss to Fulham, as some type of “eeeeez a weird cunt marra all Partizan fans are actually lads fans they hate the mags” even though I’m pretty certain NUFC won’t enter the thoughts of Partizan Belgrade fans unless we are directly referenced. It’s so transparent how they come up with these ludicrous fables. I was at that game fwiw, it was cold and fairly pricy iirc, plus it was a qualifying round. Who gives a fuck what the attendance was though?

XP (Excellent Post).

If, as it appears, they were keeping some back from each ballot for the next, they may as well have done all the ballots together. Then even if they wanted to make sure a certain percentage from each section would get a ticket, they surely could have gave each application a weighting. Then at least they wouldn't have had to wait as long before people found out. I know a lot of people who booked trains and hotels weeks ago and just made the decision that they would go down anyway but not everyone is in the position to do that. I realise it's not possible to get all of this done as soon as we qualified but they really needed to get things concluded quicker than they have. Hopefully this is the first of many occasions like this and the club get slicker at it going forward.

Now, if it was "hot, black, and making a mess all down her front"...

An it wayz the wedding seezan marra.

Here’s a good story for you. It also has the advantage of being true. For Sunderland’s first ever home European tie, only 21,000 turned up. I think Roker held about 40,000 at the time (possibly more). In the next round for their game v Sporting Lisbon about 31,000 turned up. Those are their only two home games in Europe to date. That’s on the back of having won the FA Cup at the end of the previous season (their sole post-war trophy to date).

Their club sent a letter of congratulation to Partizan for beating us? Either did they fuck or if they did that has to be the lowest act of any club ever - even beating looking after a nonce.

You’ve deleted your mates ticket by poking about, haven’t you

Light on details that story (beyond the details you could find on the internet in less than 5 mins)

Also like how Brown’s tweeted that thinking he’s emerged on top there.

He’s fucking spot on. Brown about as neutral as us lot on here are

Mass derlewsionnn.

There’s probably a bigger question in there, what is a contemporary football lad? I’d wager most of them are coked up dickheads tbh Hurst for all his crimes is just interminably dull both in his aesthetic & his character. The kind of bloke who’d get a hard on giving out disciplinarys to post grads trapped in call centres. I think there used to be things to talk about under the hell regime of Ashley but now we’ve won the battle, albeit falling on our sword ethically. Just enjoy the ride. We don’t have to listen to these dickheads. My only worry is how much weight their opinion carries and how many pies they’ve shoved their fat tory fingers in…

It’s the forced middle class masquerading as football lad patter from the likes of Hurst that aggravates me the most. File it under posh boy Caulkin’s forced swearing

Put the farm on it

Telling that even in Renton's wildest imaginings, we barely scrape by Man Utd.

One of my daughters said they start dropping at 10am. I was sitting this morning waiting for an email or bank notification on my phone. Sure enough the Barclays money spent motivation popped up and I got very excited until I realised it was our lass at Sainsbury’s

I got an email off their lass the other day. Wykiki's not bothered though.

Fuckin hell

@thebrokendoll Sold out, second show planned Saturday 2pm

At least we won.

I've noticed a couple of times lately when Man U have scored a goal which would gain them a point or points that would move them up the table if it stayed that way they can't wait to put the 'live' table on the screen as the game's playing, excited commentator not being shy in telling us their potentially new position in the league. I can't recall them doing that with us? They're so up Liverpool and Man U's arses it's unreal, man.

Imagine running an “agenda” account for a club that have without a shadow of doubt constantly received favor. Feeling hard done by as a Manchester United fan is like Elon Musk joining in a conversation about not having much in the bank before pay day, fucking ridiculous. Hopefully we see them pulling out the Norwich clobber and whinging again soon. When do these idiots expect the fixtures to be played? It’s like when Klopp whines on, if you’re in four competitions at this stage in the season you will be playing a lot of games and often that’s why not many teams are generally involved on this many fronts at this point. Fucking idiots.
