Premier league top scorer (only one that counts, seeing as European football is beyond both): Newcastle's Alan Shearer Biggest premier league derby win (you know, a match that we've actually watched, rather than read about in 1906): Newcastle Last trophy won (if you're going to be obtuse with lower division stuff): Newcastle Last of the two teams to win in European competition: Newcastle Last team to challenge for the premier league title: Newcastle Last team to play in European competition: Newcastle Highest attendance in premier league era: Newcastle Last side to lose 8-0: Sunderland Difference between the two, is that bar your recent deserved success in derby matches, we trounce you in modern history in pretty much every aspect. We're the much bigger club now. You have your claims to historical significance, but little of significance you'd not find in a decaying book at the back of a library.
Do you know, I worry myself silly in case the council or whoever decides they want the ground on which the ground stands, back. I wonder if it will ever happen?
We've picked up more fans than you? Are you sure? Your crowds at Roker were probably below 20k average, then around 97 I think, I haven't checked, the went up to around 45k. yet we're the Johnny come latelys? I doubt it.
Missing the point a tad, old bea.n Not least because the final capacity of Roker was 22k (we averaged c.20-21k if memory serves).
I wouldn't worry too much Somb, it will never happen, it's just an interesting fact, that will prevent you from ever been considered a big club

The point is you can make points from both clubs all night long to suit our own ends. Does it actually make any difference - most are so long ago, its nothing exactly anything to brag about, is it? FFS Queen Victoria was on the throne when, SAFC won three of their titles in the 19th Century. Fair do's SAFC have the biggest Derby Win, but NUFC won the League that Season so who had the last laugh - debatable. The only game that matters is the next.
anar man, it just mindless banter which is all tongue in cheek. It's five weeks till the derby we can hardly talk team selection. Lighten up fella.
