Thanks all.

Looks it TBF.

It was ok.

Good luck. Give me your bank details and I'll send across enough for a Yorkie bar if you pass! Mate's Mam passed away this morning, me and the missus had a little teary hug last night, I've told him to let me know when they're ok for people to come round and I'll be there as they might want a bit of family time. Feels nothing like Christmas as it is tbh.

I'm all for the stats on this one. 👍

Glad it isn't just me. Hopefully it's just acid like flashbacks from previous years.

Spending money just for social media likes? Sad.

Tales from fevered minds

Now that is sportswashing .

"Whilst it obviously is hilarious to the usual hard of thinking toon trolls that my bag split and my fix of wine broke in Aldi what they don't realise is that Mark Bainbridge the shop manager was grateful to me for highlighting his wine section by making a song and dance about my vino accident as they'd overstocked and needed to shift some so not so hilarious now is it? You're welcome.'

We all know that most myths have some inkling of truth or some origin that's been totally bent out of shape. Looks like Rents was the mythical Mag who completely dropped his arse when the MLF put him straight with some uncomfortable truths about how classy, historical and loved Sunderland are and how scummy we were, telt him good and proper but Rents couldn't look him in the eye. Gerrin! FTM.

Loads sing '....... aces'. I've heard Blackburn, Man U, West Brom, Arsenal, QPR etc all claim to sing it, (but knowing where it comes from).

It was Sunderland races or aces, they sang it at Roker v us years ago.

"Ah, hello, I was wondering if you have any seats left for your Buenos Aires flight?...... you do? Excellent! The name? Fist, Mr Monkey's Fist. Sorry? You're going to put me next to the ex-MLF Mag gloryhunter group heading out there too? Bastards."

Fucking town centre celebration washed wankers! Sunderland town centre in 73 turncoats into Newcastle civic centre in 93 then hop over to Buenos Aires in 2022.

Aye, pretty much think it's based around the last day relegation match at Maine Road where every report from the Sunderland correspondent coincided with an extra thousand Sunderland fans going in the ground. Started off around 10,000 and ended up about 16,000 in his excitement. Man City fans were convinced this one off season defining game made Sunderland the superior NE club if there was ever a ding ding between us and the blue part of Manchester. Others have sung it, only wolves comes to mind at the minute? The red flag was sung by those and others like Man U although I haven't heard the mackens sing it for decades although I obviously don't go to their games so could be wrong?

As for copying songs, they really don't want to go there. The Sunderland bootboys says it all, 100% a Newcastle United song, not anybody elses never mind theirs, the fact they must know it yet still adapt it despite loathing us and being classier shows who they really are. It would be like us singing wise men say or whatever? The going/going down was a blatant piss take at their expense so isn't copying in the sense they've done it. (I haven't even mentioned the Blaydon races copy!)

As MF says, even the normal ones go a bit swivel eyed when the subject of NUFC comes up, it's just hardwired into them.

My mam slipped on that bridge and ended up in hospital for a few weeks. I vaguely remember the station being like that especially the bridge!

Don't read the words on one of the photos.

Any guesses?

Separated at birth tbh. Run out, rustiness, cup game against PL opposition and through to the QF. That'll do.

Aye I know, just letting it out lads. Used to go around all the time as it was one of those drop in houses, even used to nip in after a few beers when I didn't have enough money to stay out so used to get a couple of bags of chips and pop in even though my mate was still out on the piss with the rest of our mates. His mam and dad are absolute diamonds, like. Used to always have a good laugh with them.

Good mate of mine's mother has days to live and I'm gutted for him but also just feel a bit sad full stop as I've known her since I was about 16 and despite never having a pot to piss in and a lot to deal with is just a lovely, lovely bubbly person. My pal let me know a few weeks ago how serious it was and I hadn't seen her for a few years so put that right and seen her twice since. His dad is also in hospital and doesn't yet know how imminent his wife's end probably is. I suppose it's coming or already came to most of us on here baring in mind our ages but the knowledge of it is more and more getting into my mind for my own folks. Was on the blower last night to him and what do you say? Like I say, gutted for them all.
