    Have you ever thought about changing your name to 'bliss' to suit your character traits.

    I get a lot of what he's saying, I would never want a mackem in charge of my club, no matter how good his credentials. Obviously once he was in I would support him like any other manager. I just think he has read one too many of Cest's posts and the moronic Geordie quotes that are so consistent with the ones Cest comes out with have become etched into his brain.

    You sir are the fool wanting a geordie in charge and then defending the obese idiot as he lost 5-1 to Newcastle. I just don't get the newcastle loving sunderland supporters. Cheik has told the truth and stated he would not be happy with a mackem in charge of the mags. How many more mickey taking geordies are you prepared to put up with. Maybe we should appoint the incompetent Alan Shearer as manager and say 'oh it's not so bad hes wearing a newcastle shirt on the sideline?

    You still doesn't get the fact that there is a critical difference between Geordie and Mag, in that a significant percentage of Geordies are probably more loyal to SAFC than you will ever be..

    Just look at the way Bruce went on after gyan fluked that goal at your place. Can't tell me he didn't care about the job in hand. Regardless of the team he supports, those were his players out there, playing for him. He worked with them day in day out. That builds bonds. I don't buy into all this losing deliberately stuff. If anything I'd say it was his obsession of trying to put one over on us that led to his down fall in the derbies.

    I don't get it you are right. Why would a geordie want to support Sunderland and why would a mackem want to support Newcastle. Take pride in where you are from not where you are not from. Maybe that's just old fashioned or outdated or something but thats what i think.

    Disco, you like to disagree with me period and kiss Syds arse daily. You're opinion on most things is dismissed by me with consummate ease as its pathetically sheep like all the time.

    All hail the mighty Syd for if hath spoken and let no man discuss.

    You know you've such an inflated opinion of yourself on this board I don't know why its not just called Syd Says 606? You'd love that.

    Perhaps you could enlighten up all again today with the weather in Coxhoe or how many times you dog has wagged his tail today or something else as equally riveting.

    Embarrassing? You got the Gold.

    If you want to embrace your inner child, can you do it in private. This would be welcome by all, I'm sure...

    You just don't get it do you?

    There is a huge difference between someone born a geordie but who supports Sunderland and a geordie who is a b&w supporter playing for Sunderland.

    The former is every bit as welcome and respected at the SOL as someone born in Hendon whilst the latter has repeatedly mugged us over, time after time, after time.

    Mag loving and supporting players, managers whatever have stabbed us in the back when push comes to shove. How else do you explain Lawrie Mac? Came to us as the top manager in the country. Relegated us to the 3rd division. Clark was welcomed with open arms by up all. Ripped the piss by wearing a SMB t-shirt. Chopra scores for fun in big games but gets a chance against his heroes and can't score for the enemy in a derby? Bruces teams did well before and after Derby games but totally ****ed up in the derbies and led to our post war record defeat and lost at home last season again. Mon, with the exact same team, later went to the sports direct and barring a 94th min equalizer, would have beaten the craas?

    All just coincidence? Like **** it is. Black and white loving geordies will always **** us over. Period.

    No I don't get it, you're right. Why would a geordie support Sunderland or a mackem support Newcastle. Can you tell me any reason?

    I may share some thoughts kidda but have to differ totally with your premise that a Geordie cant be a Sunderland fan? Why not?

    There are people in Durham and surrounding areas that follow the filth as well. I used to sit next to some great lads at Roker who were from Whitley Bay and they were every inch fanatical Sunderland fans as any I've ever met.

    Just as it is with the colour of a mans skin it doesn't define him as a person (its whats in his heart) then a mans birthplace doesn't define him but its whats in his heart that matters.

    A lad born in Wallsend who wants to be a Sunderland fan is as welcome here for me as anyone and a lad born in Hendon that follows the mags isn't.

    My points are that if you have black & white blood you cant play for or manage Sunderland (or vice versa) without that coming back to haunt you and effect the outcome at some point. No matter how professional you are, that link and heart tug cannot be broken.

    It was in McMenemy, Chopra, Clarke and Bruce and it eventually came into play to our detriment with them all.

    Not really sure. Although Durham and Newcastle both received royal patronage whereas Sunderland didn't. So maybe people from Durham city should support Newcastle as they are firmly in the royalist camp.

    I agree with this. In Bruce's case I think that it was the pressure/chip on shoulder thing that did him - I'm sure he didn't do it deliberately.

    In Clarke's case, he was an idiot.

    In Bob Stokoe's case, he managed it fine. And before that gets dismissed it's worth remembering that he was the last manager who won us a decent trophy.
