We're known globally, hence why we are one of the top 20, I believe, richest clubs in the world. There's big potential there, we will realise it one day wen the fatman and co leave. Colback is a below par player. But to get him on a free was a great deal. I still wouldn't have touched him with a bargepole mind, being a turncoat and all I call BS.
Why not, is it the normal Geordie trait of selective memory or just eradicating history when it doesnât fit an argument?
A great deal? The salary he's on means you'll pay approx 36 times his value in it's term Aye, cracking deal mate.
Is any mackem actually stupid enough to think any black and white believes that Shearer is responsible for us being relegated ffs? This thread is going to go tits up. I have a few good acquaintances who are red and white. On the other hand, I'm staunchly black and white. I despise your football club, your plastic city and the vast majority of your fans. Your town centre is a ****hole, your town on the whole is a dump. You have nothing to offer, and no identity of your own. Sunderland is a second class "city". Always in the shadow of Newcastle, and the thing that hurts you the most is, that you know it.
Really? But what for?? It's not as if you've won owt for 45 years... Horse punching, riots, pitch invasions...?
No black and white is fussed about Colback, only you lot. Fringe England player for Nowt, I'd take every day.
I don't get it. No we just respect our club legends, rather than treating them so badly that they get to the point of hating all the fans that used to adore them a la "Sir" Niall Quinn Bog standard premier league wage now is 20-25k. I'd say Colback's worth about 20k a week. We're probably paying him 30, unless you have some inside knowledge on the contract? Considering we paid nothing for him it's a good deal. But as a blind-sighted R&W scumbag you will probably point him out as a player worth about a tenner not that he's left you, and dug the knife in on the way out. Plus, I don't even care about the money, it was worth mllions just to see HOW bitter we managed to make SAFC. No club has ever got under their rivals skin as much as we did there, and that can't even be argued. FFS, the Twitter post with pictures of him mocking us was bad enough, but then you go and release a club statement crying about it, have some self respect
Bollocks, mate. Until you win something you're not actually casting a shadow As for the city stuff, well Newcastle's OK, but if you really think it's some gleaming metropolis, think again. Both Newcastle and Sunderland are pretty crappy if the truth be told...
We've won nowt for years and are still one of the top 6 English brands worldwide and top 20 richest clubs worldwide. Suck on that.
I don't disagree on the city side as I've said many times, Newcastle is an amazing city. Some lovely buildings on the walk back to central station after a 3-0 win or 2.
Behave SOMB It's just footy banter, in fact, looks like you're the one taking it beyond footy and lowering tone. Lighten up man. Didn't think you'd be the first to hit meltdown fella.
Shields always has a place in my heart, been going there since I was a baby. It's beautiful until you get about 5 yards back from the sea front Yeah but at least the derbies aren't our cup final like they are for you mack...oh wait
Try 60 years Sid, unless you count the "by invitation, if you hold a trade fair" Inter City Fairs Cup, which has changed through the mists of time from a joke tournament to an important achievement
