Monkeys Fist 42439 Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Penshaw Monument always cracks me up, it's on their fucking club badge as well as if to signify Roman history or something when in reality it was built in the mid 1800's. Aye, appropriately enough, it's a folly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howay 12496 Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 And this 'lads fan' shit. :lol: Â I just picture Bo Selectas Elton John saying the phrase every time I read the phrase on RTG. :lol: As if some bloke in Rotterdam is watching that tragic Sunderland side as well as watching Sparta.

Monkeys Fist 42439 Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Sorry to be pedantic but St. Peter's was indeed the first church in Britain to have stained glass windows. Â It wasn't, St.Paul"s in Jarrow was. Â Expert knowledge needed to settle this, I reckon-@@Renton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The earliest known reference dates from 675 AD when Benedict Biscop imported workmen from France to glaze the windows of the monastery of St Peter which he was building at Monkwearmouth.

Alex 35079 Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 As someone on here pointed out before, they're desperate to play the history card but they had to have a fucking vote not too long ago just to decide on an official nickname and they've only been at their stadium since the late 90s. Not to mentioned they the pilfered name for it. Only to come up with the cock and bull story about it being about the miners lamps etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know from where they muster the nerve to call St James' "the landfill", when their ground is roundly mocked for it's litter strewn pitch. Â Don't bother searching for pictures of "Rubbish on the pitch at Sunderland" it's just photos of our lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
