The CRAAS keep banging on about 5-1 - but who finished higher in the leauge? Ah Yes!!!! And 1-9 is still a record. Pathetic CRAAS only recognise something when is suits THEM. Totally deluded, as always. Bart
It was over 100 years ago mate. Surely, SURELY you can see how because of that, we don't really care???
Newcastle fans wouldn't last season - it was all about the 5-1 after the end of the season - nothing to do with the final league placings - that didn't matter...
and yet we still won the league that year i'd even be happy for you to stuff us 10-0 this season if we won the league. bit of a hollow bragging rights really
but we both won nothing if you went on and won the league do you honestly think the 5-1 would even be mentioned......no as for the 9-1 it's like rugby and the aussies beating new zealand in a friendly before the world cup then losing in the final but still crowing about the friendly win quite sad really must have been a right ****ing downer beating your biggest rivals by a record margin but they still won the main prize
Feel sorry for them, they have to go back 100+ years to find something, good chance 5-1 will be the biggest victory between the the 2 teams in their lifetime.
nah he's an arse he hasn't even been on our board ...you can keep him mate great achievement to win 9-1 can't take that away but it's a bit naff to brag about it imo but each to their own all it does is reminds Mags we won the league that year
I remember reading an article in the Sunday Sun several years ago about this game. The editor of a Newcastle paper, I can't remember if it was the Chronicle or the Journal, would not accept that the Mags had been beaten by such a score at home by their nearest rivals he had it printed in the paper as Sunderland 9 Newcastle 1. Incidentally, one thing to note was that Newcastle also missed a penalty that day.
I would go for crab meat if I was you seeing as best part of the mags on here seem to be little more than nippers...
