They have a bigger stadium than you, they have more fans than you, they've won more trophies than you, their owner is richer than yours and they don't have a Fascist Wackadoodle as a manager. You can't get much more "in the shadow" than that.
Mackem in peace. Not sure whether we're in for Hudd any more. I do know Paolo likes him but we seem to be angling for players on loan at the moment making me think we're nearly spent up for the window. Think he'd be a very good signing for you lot if you can keep him fit. His passing is immense and he has a sledgehammer of a shot on him. If he was a bit more physical (bizarre that he isn't considering his size) and mobile I'd be kicking myself if you got him over us. As it is I still think he'd be a good addition to our squad but would begrudge you guys for signing him. All the best for the season ahead.
Thanks. Nice to see another sensible Mackem again. I'm surprised Di Canio never went in for him earlier if he wanted him so badly. That's why I think we will get him and Livermore. (bar another Charlie Austin situation) We are looking into getting Livermore as part of the £5.25m deal (on a loan though), and I think he will be vital to the team also.
No - he really ain't a geordie. Please be correct about this - he's a dribbling wannabe geordie ****. Believe me I know - I've lived in south tyneside for 15 years, and if there was ever a place with an inferiority complex amongst it's 15-25 male, unemployed demographic it is Sunderland.
We're not all knobheads mate! I think we went in for him as part of a deal for Danny Rose but it looks like we're not getting Danny back so our interest cooled in Hudd as well. Paolo's been vocal in saying he still wants a creative midfielder but I don't see it being Hudd. If we are in fact in for him I still think he'll go to you lot as you lot are showing you want him more! It'll be a very good double deal. Livermore looked good last year. Together they'll add a bit of experience, energy and technique in the midfield. How's Meyler doing for you lot? I really hope he has a good year. He was really unlucky with injuries at us.
Meyler has been one of our best players since he came, though he does seem to go down easily... He certainly improved our midfield last season. He linked up very well with Elmo on the right side of our midfield/attack, and scored a few chances as well. One of a few players who, if we hadn't brought in, would likely mean we would still be in the Championship.
You too mate...could be a struggle for both our teams.....enjoy your manic manager....and I hope Altidore comes good. Nice to see your signature...Charlie Hurley was a brilliant player....could do with a few more like him in this day & age.
They have a bigger stadium than Liverpool so does that make newcastle bigger than Liverpool? does it **** & Newcastle has more fans LOL don't think so because our all time biggest crowd is bigger than Newcastle all time biggest crowd STAT FACT. We won more league than newcastle & out of sunderland & newcastle we was the last team to win a trophy. plus I don't care if newcastle owner is richer because our owner spends more money. Never in newcastle shadow END OF.
LOL Don't talk ****ing stupid. South Shields & North Shields are wannabe geordie's. you do realise newcastle & South & North Shields has more unemployment than sunderland.
leafy Wetwang does it for me mate.Don't put the area down so much, there are plenty of areas round here that rival leafy ****ing Cheshire, plus not been the target of the ****ing criminal fraternatey.
Sounds like we need to act quick before Sunderland try to get him. http://www.thisishullandeastriding.co.uk/story-19655187-detail/story.html?#axzz2brtzivGp
