Rayvin 5223 Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 I always think there's another really significant distinction between the way we talk about them and the way they talk about us though - mostly their threads are discussing NUFC itself, so the club, its results, etc. Their focus and obsession is Newcastle. This thread is discussing their obsession with us, not so much Sunderland itself. Most of their games don't even get a mention on here. We don't talk about their players unless they turn out to be paedos, and only talk about the club directly if its doing something hilarious. If you took out all the discussion in this thread about their obsession with us, I doubt it beats 200 pages in full, even over however many years. None of their threads are focused on what we think about them, it's all directed fully at the club itself. That is the purity of their devotion to NUFC. This thread is schadenfraude, their's is a jealous love letter. 1 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well tbf, that is quite a lot, they manage to fuck up on a weekly basis and have zero self awareness.My favourite was after taunting us with "Enjoy Burton", the very next year them getting relegated by Burton with the crucial goal goal scored by Darren Bent. Filmed for posterity by a Netflix documentary supposed to be about their promotion. I mean, you couldn't make that shit up, pure kismet.

I think ed sheeran's shit, but I'd have still been inclined to have left his name in there in preference to bob dylan, who's fucking abysmal. on a positive note though..... absolutely delighted you omitted queen altogether! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 35079 Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 (edited) Queen played SJP in the mid 80s. Wouldn’t say I was a massive fan (or MLF) but appreciate they were a class act.
