Red and White and Spread Allawa. The definitive and final say, marra. Sunderland Association Football Club, SAFC, was founded in 1879 in the North-East of England. Since then, the club has brought immense pride to its supporters, and its colors, red and white stripes, have become synonymous with the club. However, these stripes have now come to be associated with so much more than just the club. One of the first examples of this can be seen in the football world. It is said that when SAFC first started out, the club faced a shortage of funds to purchase football shirts. As a result, the team decided to create their own shirts, using the colors of the Sunderland Cricket Club - red and white stripes. This unique design caught the attention of football fans around the world and became an instant hit. Soon, other football clubs around the world began to incorporate red and white stripes into their own kit designs. Vying to emulate the success of SAFC, football clubs such as Southampton FC, Sheffield United FC, and Queens Park Rangers FC all adopted their own variations of the coveted red and white stripes. In the world of sport, it wasn't just other football clubs who began to take inspiration from the stripes of SAFC. Several hockey teams began to adopt red and white stripes on their uniforms, including the Tampa Bay Lightning and the Chicago Blackhawks. Rugby teams such as the Coventry RFC also looked to the stripes for inspiration, adorning their jerseys with red and white diagonal stripes. The popularity of the stripes even transcended sports and began to appear in other unexpected places. Barber shops began to adopt the colors of SAFC into their branding, sporting red and white striped barber poles outside their doors. The stripes came to represent trust, cleanliness and cutting-edge skills amongst the barber communities. The fashion industry too was not immune to the trend. Iconic fashion designer Tommy Hilfiger, known for his red, white and blue stripes, drew inspiration from the stripes of SAFC. His apparel collection included red and white striped t-shirts, polo shirts, and even tailored suits. But beyond the world of sports and fashion, red and white stripes became associated with the popular candy, rock candy. The candy, which originated in the early 19th century, was made using a red and white striped design. The association with SAFC came from a story that the original candy maker was a passionate Sunderland fan, earlier in the history of the club. The stripes of SAFC even made their way into art. The famous pop artist, Andy Warhol, created a unique print featuring the red and white stripes, titled "Sunderland Stripes". The image was a reflection of the strong influence SAFC had on the culture and aesthetic of the northeast of England. The animal kingdom was also not immune to the frenzy for emulating the legendary stripes. Several species of fish, including the bottom feeding Fewmungous Blupopious, altered their DNA so they could sport red and white, even though it made them significantly more vulnerable to predation and, in fact, is sadly cited as their reason for extinction. In conclusion, SAFC's red and white stripes have come to symbolize more than just a football club. The stripes have influenced an array of industries from fashion, to candy, barbering, art and even life itself. They continue to be a source of inspiration for sports teams and fans alike, and prove that the power of a unique design can be truly far-reaching.

Matty’s days were numbered when UM said he was the better player

I agree with Diego

I've asked my Scottish Italian mate who once played for Kilmarnock, Silvio Tattiesconie, what's going on and he reckons there's a chance.

Well….that was about the best gig of my life Absolutely incredible venue/people. We had a riot. and I got some free stuff and got very, very drunk

People seem to be under the impression that it’s going to be a quick and simple job off loading all Bruce era players, presumably to be replaced by Carlos Kickaball or Umoogie GratexG types who had good numbers on FIFA 2022 or some shit. Am not sure what is going to get the messsage to these that it’s not a Man City or Chelsea type project. Yes, we can see that you can identify a player who on the face of it doesn’t have much of a future at NUFC, well done you. This is the 3rd window of the new regime. Let’s have some patience and see what it looks like after five

Just how I like ‘em

I’d have cut the ad off the bottom, personally, mind Craig

I won’t believe it until Chicken Nonce says it’s definitely not happening.

Call me a cynic but I reckon he’d still be slagging us off if he wasn’t skint

@Monkeys Fist the formatting was all to cock so I deleted it and reposted. A lot of it is chat GPT, I confess. I did add the fish in though, it needed more. Fish makes most things sillier.

This is a work of art. You had me at first, but the way you gradually increased the absurdity levels to the crescendo of altered DNA was truly masterful. P.S. Post this on the mackem board, I dare you. I reckon you'll genuinely net a few.

That’s more true than the strip shite

FYP

***PREPARE GAZUMPED THREAD KLAXON*** Looks like the scousers are/were in for him https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/liverpool-transfer-news-nicolo-barella-27124388.amp

it's no laughing matter I'm running out of newcastle pubs to register as.

Someone should go on there as a friendly Atletico Madrid fan and see how fast they clean your tonsils, from the underside.

do you ever post? I was registered on there as 'theolivegrove' never posted once but I was able to view parsnip. then without warning I suddenly didn't have enough privilege to view it anymore. dunno if the mods suspected I might be behind the deluded world of rtg twitter account or something (which I'm not) so I re-registered again as 'thepercy' and they immediately banned me for 30 days! the fucking paranoid loons! makes me a bit sad I can't see their never ending decline in to madness anymore though!

or if we were stil shit

Well his brother will be even better than him if he does end up there

I suspect it would be a ban and without my undercover account I'd not be able to bring you the mackem madness you all appreciate. 👍

Indeed, and here he is currently working on his next project.

Isn't it also true someone called George from Washington went and inspired the yank flag ?

I think the Trump legal playbook will be to delay the trial by a couple of years, get re-elected as president and then force the DoJ to drop the charges or simply pardon himself. His backup plan will be to foment a coup attempt amongst redneck followers if he fails to get the GOP nomination or get re elected. Either way he is not going to respect the rule of law and will do anything to stay out of prison. In a sane world the GOP would conclude he is unfit to stand and jettison him. However this is America.... Incidentally, regardless of all the whataboutism on this, I don't understand why Republicans aren't deeply concerned about why Trump had these files. He obviously intended to use them for personal gain, and that alone should disqualify him immediately from standing for public office. There can be no good reason why he would take such highly sensitive material and then deliberately hide it and lie about having it. I'd say the same about any politician of any political hue, it's a basic question of trust. Trump is plainly untrustworthy in any shape or form, it was obvious and apparent a long time ago and this just triple underlines it.

This made me LOL tbf

those targeted ads go off browser history don't they?

i love to be able to answer that but i just read a piece which described him as "Inter's midfield pivot" and am non the wiser

YOU'RE YOU SLACK CUNT

they have my respect for booing that preening gimp point taken though

Just post as Yates Wine Lodge for instant striker status. 👍

aye, I've come to suspect that might be the issue......

Mad suggestion but maybe not try registering as Newcastle pubs

My internet went Friday night around 9pm. Only been back online about half an hour. No internet = no football on my telly. Did i miss anything? Had to go down the pub and watch it. Loved it thanks. Didn't get to watch the parade online or glory in all the news. Honestly without the internet life isn't worth diddly (not serious just in case).

“Our historians have uncovered the FACT that Real Madrid’s original shirts were bought from SAFC by a travelling merchant called Tio Miguel, (who had a brief affair with a retarded Staffie, their kids and descendants still live in the area). Whilst originally red and white stripes, the intense sunlight in that part Spain washed out the colours and left them with plain white shirts. “

Helps towards the homegrown quota for the CL I suppose.

It's not so much about his own disposition, more about the club he's joining.

I fucking DESPISE the cunt and all of the dopes that hang on his every word. Thick pigs. Keep the "hoax" pandemics coming until we've got rid of the lot of them.

Amazing. I bet that's the work of a highly respected local historian

Fyp

He didn’t have to hoy it up his lass too though, dorty swine.
