Best Mackem memories

Despite the fabulous 5-1 thrashing this year- Kevin Nolan's hat-trick etc, and the 4-1 away mauling we gave them, the Pedro hat-trick in 3-1 win, Emre's and Liam O'Brien's free-kicks the best memory comes from 1969 for me.
A schoolmate who's dad supported the Mackems took his son and I to Joker Park to watch the last game of the season.
I was 10 at the time. My schoolmate begged me all day to go with them.
They played Liverpool and in the 86th minute Chris Lawler scored the only goal of the game and sent the Mackems down to the old second division.
I think they missed out on staying up by 1 point.
There was a deadly silence in the car going home......priceless

Being in the roker paddock with another 500 Newcastle fans when Gillinham beat the SMB's

halfway down The Greatest Game in History – Sunday May 17th 1987

 

Yep, I was there. The only time the police divided the arrestees into three: Sunderland, Gillingham and Newcastle. Strange atmosphere though. The Mackems seemed to accept before the start they were going down.

 

My best memory came as a child when i was on holiday for the derby and i was in a bar and everyone apart from me were mackems and we won was epic

 

When they managed to break their own record of lowest points gained in the Premiership

 

When we beat them 4-1; we were so close to being the ones who put them down. If they were a little less ****, we would have

 

When we won 1-0 at the Stadium of Light and Dabizas scored the goal, as it was my first derby victory and the first time I'd seen us play there.

 

It has just got to be the 5-1 this season. They were so confident before the game

 

I don't blame you for making yourselves look a little bit silly and a little bit obsessed and if I may also say a little bit Jealous by having a go at the current top team in the NE. Afterall there ain't much else to talk about on this board eh ....check out our board full of excitment following another 2 superb signings for the lads today....has the transfer window shut yet?....EEE well lmao

 

This just defines hilarity, how can you be the top team if you were beaten 5-1 and had to get a last minute equaliser against us, tbh boro are better than you infact gateshead are better than you

 

When they went down under monkeys heed/howard wilkinson on 19 points and where supposedly in administration (Sorry for the spelling), was only a kid at the time, but it was sheer quality for thaking the micky out of them, even better one was when they went down and broke they own record in doing so, absloutly priceless!

 

Watching the Mackem's leaving when we were 3 up and going back to their yellow buses. Priceless.

 

Top team in the NE

 

^^^ obsession^^^^


here's a tip for you instead of coming on the toon board and looking like an obsessed bitter monkey why not start a thread on the unwashed board called ' best mags memories' and slag us off till your hearts content

 

Undoubtedly the 5-1, they were so arrogant and confident before the game and I just couldnt stop laughing as the 5th goal went in...

Almost topped by their spectacular revenge mission this month, they looked like they couldnt give a **** about the biggest game of the year

 

I like decent craic

no you don't go back and look at your first post,you came on here trying to be a smart arse and like your miserable life failed.
nice to know i boil your piss though
