Tyneside includes Newcastle, Gateshead, Tynemouth, Wallsend, South Shields, and Jarrow. I really don't think its a big deal the the club in Newcastle upon Tyne is associated with places in Tyneside. No worse than Manchester United being associated with the City of Manchester, as a club based in Trafford.

Lots of people from across the region support NUFC it's by far the region's biggest and most supported club. You have to go as far South as Middlesbrough to find another club in the top two tiers of English football. Further north than Middlesbrough, NUFC represent the regions only top club. There are a number of lower league sides such as Gateshead, Hartlepool and Sunderland but it's reasonable to say they aren't at a higher enough level to draw in the levels of support that NUFC do.

Also people from Northumberland, Gateshead and Durham will have contributed towards the flag in very large numbers so it is only fair they are represented alongside those from Newcastle and Tyneside.

As a Gateshead lad it annoys me when people think the Angel and Sage are in Newcastle. However it is fair to say as the biggest club in The North East with fans from all over we are allowed a few monuments on our flag.

I certainly can't imagine having such a sense of entitlement over a building that I'd have an autistic meltdown over it.

Whilst you can’t judge a whole fan base on forums and twitter, I’ve always found Evertonians to be among the most obnoxious arrogant fans out there.

Cunts. The lot of them.

I always thought that Evertonians didn’t mind Rafa? Obviously he has Liverpool connection, but he did a lot for the city too and always thought that counted a lot for Everton fans (despite him being a red).

Yeah I don't think there is anything in the Rafa factor. Everton had an irrational hatred for us before Rafa was our manager.

It's pretty well known Everton fans have shadow syndrome from Liverpool being the dominant club in the area; hence their affinity with Sunderland. After browsing their forum, I'm of the belief that the lack of vitamin D has twisted them into pasty, bitter people and has led many to develop an irrational hatred for Newcastle fans too - apparently due to thinking we're too big for our boots (Koppites of the North etc). All well and good if they themselves were tempered in their expectations and demands, yet here they are, with their average pre-game prediction being about 4-0. They might be the most oblivious fans in the league at the minute.

Lovely stuff.

I'm sure Rafa as our manager hasn't improved their feelings towards us either.

looks bad for them

I agree, the vast majority of SAFC reflect our own fan base; Mostly the same backgrounds with a nice mix of locals and people from other areas/countries. Also a similar proportion of absolute whoppers, it has to be said.

No one deserves to see their club go under completely, however a stint in League 1 would be amusing for a little while at least.

Just went on RTG for the first time in ages. It's gotta be said... some of the gallows humour on there is hilarious

I love RTG. They are so belligerent. Are they like that in real life, or just online where it's nice and safe?

by **TJR** » Sun Sep 17, 2017 10:32 pm

They'll be in administration within a year. Not looking good at all for them financially.

by **Sir Bobby** » Sun Sep 17, 2017 10:23 pm

Sunderland will absolutely not be in the Prem within 5 years I don't think! They're loaded with debt and it's pretty clear Short can't be f***ed investing any more money. That wouldn't be too bad if they had valuable assets they could auction off but they've got f*** all now Defoe and Pickford have gone. The entire club is operating from top to bottom in a poisonous atmosphere. Their wages to turnover is around 75% of premiership turnover too, wouldn't surprise me if it hit 90% or more now they've got relegated. They have a big rebuild on their hands before they get promoted

With the pot being empty , there seems little chance that they can buy striker in Jan window . Downward spiral for them I predict .

Still a long way to go. Plenty of promoted sides have made superb starts in recent years before being relegated that season.

Charlton sticks out when they went up in 98. I think by October they were sitting top 6 after having drew 3-3 at Anfield. They then just lost a few games and the confidence plummeted.
"Plenty" = it once happened to Charlton 20 years ago.

Remember when Sunderland had a good start to the season? No? Me neither.
