    recently we've had the better of them.

    Head to head on paper record actually looks like this interestingly.
    Us Vs Mags
    Games won: 53
    Games drawn: 49
    Games lost: 53

    Sunderland only 3rd team to do back to back relegations from top tier to 3rd division and finish bottom on both occasions<applause>

    I am surprised haslam you usually accept the facts when they are presented, you seem to think they can be argued , I would like to hear on what grounds

    Sunderland English premier League Title Won six times, Runners up five times ( Runners up no mean achievement )

    Newcastle United Won four times Runners up once

    I would very much doubt there are more than half a dozen teams that could match that record, which is why Sunderland supporters are so bitter at the present situation but also proud to support a team with such an enviable record

    Roy Castle would be proud though ironically the other 2 teams to have that dubious record are Wolves and Fulham and look at them now,all is not lost.

    And I thought we were only the second team to finish rock bottom on both occasions, deluded I am.

    Like many others in those days, I went to both grounds and enjoyed both, George Eastham. and Ivor Allchurch were the Newcastle pairing If I remember rightly, we had Cannon Ball "Legs" Fleming and Billy Bingham, real stars. <ok>

    I also remember the time when it was all over the papers that Newcastle were signing George Herd only for to find on Monday he had signed for Sunderland, was there ever a footballer with the consistency of Charlie Hurley, we once had headlines in the Football Echo " When is Hurley going to play a bad game "the halfback line of Anderson ,Hurley and McNab, Mapson in goal,then Monty , can still see George Mulhall flying down the wing R.I.P

    Think we did the same with Eric Gates, but in defence the dirty deed was orchestrated by a Tynesider, a certain Mr. Mackemenemy. <laugh>. George Herd was a regular in my local chippy (not Alberts), he was a real gent, and a very fine play.

    Whenever I went to Newcastle it always struck me as a place, " Helping police with their enquiries "
    I once got up a petition to widen the Tyne to move us further away from them

    I've heard that you lot are also good at counting if you're allowed to take your socks and shoes off. The drawback is the smell.

    **** me, I know that I'm just a dirty skunk with no relevance, and obviously very slow, 'cos it was ages ago, but you're so bad that even Mitro scored against you (like he did against most teams, mind, so my point is just so stupid <doh>).
