    Sunderland clearly have proper Sunderland people looking after the media stuff ...

    ... Newcastle seem to have Uni-Graduates from Arizona deciding what 'the guys' would like <doh>

    I can see why it's confusing, I was knackered and forgot to mention this monstrosity

    Wor Flags dug up the mags old mascot 'Monty the Magpie' and gave him a revamp that looks more like a fetish woody woodpecker.

    That was in the back of my mind when I looked for a cringe meme. In my knackered state, the penguin reminded me of this ****ing flag, but somehow I forgot to mention any of this in my post.

    Not only the name but they pinched the nickname off a more established, older and more successful team. We all know who

    There’s only ever gonna be one Monty synonymous with North East football.

    It’s like us calling Samson ‘Shearer’ or ‘Boring baldy ****’, we just wouldn’t do it.

    That as we don’t have morons in public facing roles.

    The Fleet Street pub in Newcastle seem determined to show just how obsessed with Sunderland they are.
    There’s nothing like a bit of witty banter …

    … and this is nothing like witty banter.

    They’ve tried though, bless them, makes me regret leaving that brutal review after my last visit.

    I wonder if any other 'tearful Mackems' spare a moment to post a review <whistle>

    Not obsessed no no no not at all :)

    Quite clever marketing though because it hasn’t cost them very much so far.

    Young lad came to do our PAT testing and fire extinguisher servicing yesterday. A passionate mag - already has his travel plans etc for Leverkuesen) Had a pleasant and sensible discussion about the season starts of Safc and Nufc. He spoke kindly of our good start .
    ……. actually , should this be on the “ Unusual things you’ve seen today” thread. ?

    The message on the electronic scoreboard from NUFC to the fans says Haway the lads.
    When did they adopt Howay to differentiate themselves from our Haway. ?


    Ps shameful scenes of the pitch invasion and the trouble afterwards didn’t realise they smashed up the haymarkwt as I lived away from the region at that time.
