Ok, but I think it was disrespectful to use that word. A few drunken idiots, some marches and the odd stabbing does not qualify as the "troubles" and all the connotations that word entails.
I was born in Sunderland, and pretty much all of my English family support Sunderland. I actually hated football until the 2006 World Cup ( Being half-Italian, the best game for me wasn't the final, it was the semi-final, Italy vs. Germany, 0-0 on the edge of the seat the whole game, and then scoring 2 goals in the 2 minutes of extra time!), after that I was hooked, and started supporting Sunderland fully. My first match was in 2008, we lost away to Portsmouth and it was a **** game, but I still loved every second of it. There's no way back now!
(By Newcastle United he is talking about a deadly, degenerate disease experienced by those from Newcastle, sad days it is)
In retrospect, you wish you'd supported Leeds and it would still have been a local team being Yorkshire's number one.
sunderland what is there in sunderland? a glass centre and cases of joseph fritzl like behaviour every day born in newcastle, son of newcastle fans, raised in newcastle, proud to be a geordie.

Sunderland has a theatre, a river, an Olympic swimming pool, and the best looking stadium in the country (imo). Yes, Newcastle may be a larger city and attract more people, but Sunderland is home, I am and always will be proud to call myself a mackem.
I thought Sunderland and Newcastle were basically the same thing. Is there a big difference? Which ones have the slag women?
