They're just not noticed. Other than STID where they were an absolute laughing stock, but they lack the self awareness to see this. Are we liked or hated? Genuinely don't know and don't care. We're definitely noticed though. Edited November 3 by Renton 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing it was at least a decade ago. I don't remember it. Maybe if I did, I'd love the MLF's too? The most pathetic part of that entire thing is "Other fans love us because..." The complete obsession with the need for external validation is beyond cringeworthy. I've not seen any 'group' do this in quite the way mackems do, both within football and outside of it. Or maybe it's just RTG, but either way it's extreme "pick me" energy, as the Zoomers would say. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Years ago when I was a filthy student I was studying Human Geography, and one module was about social deprivation. We read papers on the Brazilian favelas, South African and Jamaican shanty towns, but one particular paper u remember was on the effects of social deprivation on adolescent mental health and development. I remember it because it was done in sunderland, the authors choosing there because of the short age gap between generations giving them multiple generations of adolescents to study Anyway, I found the paper online, the funniest parts are in the conclusions, specifically on page 450 and 477, which directly answer your questions as to why they do this en masse https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32540024/ 1 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nay, nay I say, this transcends theory and we can now consider it to be a law. The law of the fans of massive lads. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can say with some confidence that "Other fans" don't have a strong opinion about Sunderland AFC or the MLFs that support it. Just like "Other fans" wouldn't have a strong opinion about Portsmouth. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJS 4377 Posted November 4 Share Posted November 4 Just taking a break and watched a Keith Downie report on SSN on them and he was really positive about them. RTG will explode with the mental gymnastics. Aparrently their main man is some cunt on loan front Bournemouth (Mepham) - hopefully they recall him in January. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renton 21576 Posted November 6 Share Posted November 6 To keep my mind off Trump, I still enjoy mackems getting upset by Newcastle. Doherty is a geordie. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 35062 Posted November 6 Share Posted November 6 He was born in Hexham iirc. Grew up all over shop as his dad was in the armed forces. NX is a bit shit like. Not that I’ve been in ages. But it’s obviously the worst venue in the country because he’ll have been to every venue in the country and not just because it’s in Newcastle. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renton 21576 Posted November 6 Share Posted November 6 Pretty bog standard medium sized venue isn't it? The Arena is shit, hope at some stage they build the new one, although that's in county Durham (Sunderland) unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renton 21576 Posted November 6 Share Posted November 6 Nothing wrong with a dump though. I remember going to the Hammersmith Apollo 15 years ago to see the Specials. The floors were so sticky my shoes kept coming off. I miss gigs full stop. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's a typical thread about how great the Empire theatre is, apparently people come from miles around to visit it and it is much better than Newcastle's Theatre Royal. (They have threads like this time to time, like they have a bigger swimming pool. Also they bring up them owning the airport thing a lot more than any NUFC fan I can tell). Why aye! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
