When relegation is official,when all league games have been played,reality will really kick in.They have an affinity with South Shields for some reason so I expect South Shields FC to have an increase in attendances next season.Maybe a ground swap would beneficial both clubs.

They're still trying to convince themselves that they relegated us.

We relegated them by not being in the same division and removing the entire club’s raison d’etre 

[McFaul 35]

I don't even hate them. I pity them. They could get to 60 in a row against us and I'd still look down my nose at them. My first visit to Sunderland was in 1991 and the town* hasn't changed one bit. I'd be a strange miserable cunt being brought up in that existence.  I'm one of a few born and bred in England's finest city,  who hope they survive and come back up. It would be shite if I snuff it before the next time we play these strange gene cunts again.

Haha I'd rather sniff poppers and spend my Friday evenings in the Powerhouse. 

All of my treatment and brain scans are done at the Freeman every few months for the rest of my life, but sadly every 6 months we need to go Sunderland for something else. I don't know if it's my childish stuck in my ways views which dictate how I feel when I'm there, but I come back feeling borderline depressed that this is what hell would feel like. I feel pity and sorrow for the people who live that existence every day.

I mean, we've joked about it, but they're genuinely responding to any Newcastle fan's jokes (or apparent sympathy) with "Wiz meyt be reluhgayted agin, but wiz will always be ayble to laugh at yooz. Yooz are still hurtin after the faymous 6 in a rowuh!"

 

You've been friends with them too long, you've nailed the accent.

I worked there for 4 years in my early twenties and the odd mackem  word was coming in to my vocabulary. I used to say "probleas" instead of probably like a deranged mackem. I was even pronouncing Chester Le Street like them

 

We pronounce it as Chester leee Street, those inbreds say Chestuh luhh Streyt.

You're far too nice. Doesn't really matter what their motive is, the SMB is pathetic. Their obsession with us is something to behold, in particular their obsession with Rafa Benitez which is actually a bit disturbing.

 

If we were in their situation, do you think we'd give a shiny shit about them? Yet I guarantee next year in league one, and the year after after liquidation, they'll still be equally obsessed. 

 

 You know me too well.

 

I mean I read RTG quite a bit because schadenfreude is something that gives my life meaning, but I can see that the number of 'mag' threads has fallen off a cliff. They've retreated into the 6 in a row as the final hope to ward of abject misery and humiliation. In reality they would dread playing us now, because if we played them 10 games in a row, we would win all 10. They will be keenly aware of this.

[Ayatollah Hermione 13794]

RTG is simply a small sub-section of their total lunacy though I.e. the lot that use Internet forums. Cast your eye on Facebook to see the true obsession.

The only reason I can think of to explain the amount they try to denigrate Benitez is because it's so obvious he's a better manager than we could have hoped for.

 

It is this pure and simple.  When we got relegated they all expected him to walk and the fans to turn against the club but the opposite happened.  That drove them insane, more so when we went through a period of not getting results we still stayed positive; something they thought they'ed be able to replicate this season.  It doesn't help their mood that their 'superior' supporters started drifting away towards the tail end of last season and has reduced every home game since then - even their message board seems to be quieter as they just give up, almost embarrassed to be associated to the club,  but they can't be seen blaming any fans for this since it's all Short, Bain, Moyes and the FA for stealing Allardyce. 

If you read the minutes from the latest supporters meeting the best protest they can think of is filling the stadium for the last home game, something they've failed to do since the night they played Everton when they game away thousands of free tickets but can't decided what to protest against.  All they have is their '6 in a row' which they don't get means they're actually bench marking the success of their team against something better than them; you don't recognise something you've achieved against something smaller than you.

 

Now they've moved on from 'mag at work' to inventing stories of mass 'Mag' invasions into the away ends and some of the newer 'Mag' posters seem to be second accounts just to play the stereotype they want us to be.

Well you're both wrong cos it's prounced Chesterley Street

[zerosum 234]

I was coming back from london after a meeting (with a hangover) and train emptied out a fair bit at Durham.. so I was left on my todd at a table.

 

3 thick as fuck young lads/chavs with really really broad makem accents got on and sat straight down on my table, surrounding me. Obviously heading to town on the piss.

 

It was the most difficult 20 minute journey to town I’ve ever experienced.

 

They tried to get me into their conversation but I could hardly understand what the fuck they were saying. Don’t think I’ve ever experienced the company of anyone as thick as those kids in my life.

Knew a lad from there who always referred to it as Chester. Is that usual or was he just lazy?

It’s normal. I’ve a couple of mates over that way, they refer to it just Chester.

One suggested that just like Sunderland did, Newcastle would have released merchandise celebrating the 5 in a row if it was a record breaking streak. 

It was a record breaking streak.

 

YEAH BUT YOU RELEASED STUFF FOR THE 5-1!

Yeah, “going down Chester” means going down to Chester Le Street front street/town centre. 

 

When I was on holiday as a kid and was asked where I was from, I would reply Chester Le Street and people would assume I was a bit special and was giving them the name of the street I lived in.

 I had an interview at Sunderland university for a course and i was sat with a few students waiting to be interviewed.

When I said I'd come from Chester they though I meant the one in the north west...

They do like a football hooligan thread I've noticed .Prior to the under23 game there was a thread on how many,if any,toon fans would attend.Around 300 turned up.Every one of them were going to get a good hiding,even though they predicted no away fans would turn up.They're now going to give every toon fan a kicking it they turn up for the Wolves game.27-3-1970 is rarely mentioned in rtg and the Battle of Bath Lane was a victory in the minds of every makem who wasn't there.

It's just like them to not realise why the 5-1 felt so good (aside from the obvious) i.e. they had spent the previous 18 months crowing about us being in the Championship and bragging about the best team they'd ever assembled. They will never, ever learn.
