Sunderland only 3rd team to do back to back relegations from top tier to 3rd division and finish bottom on both occasions<applause>
 
Overall records you guys are ahead and that can't be argued (well it can, but it shouldn't). Not sure I'd say "a long way" but that's semantics. More pertinently is that I'm mid-30's and missed either of our clubs winning anything by a decade. Whilst I've no doubt we are currently in a better position to win something next year than you guys (I'm talking like the League Cup here) the odds are still very much stacked against us and no sane person would be betting on it. We are currently comparatively top dogs, in a long list of also-rans and whilst the two clubs may jostle for position with each other over the course of my life I simply don't think either of us are winning anything other than a fluke cup-run one year. Pathetic really.

I am surprised haslam you usually accept the facts when they are presented, you seem to think they can be argued , I would like to hear on what grounds

Sunderland English premier League Title Won six times, Runners up five times ( Runners up no mean achievement )

Newcastle United Won four times Runners up once

I would very much doubt there are more than half a dozen teams that could match that record, which is why Sunderland supporters are so bitter at the present situation but also proud to support a team with such an enviable record
 
And I had already had eight years of torment

Like many others in those days, I went to both grounds and enjoyed both, George Eastham. and Ivor Allchurch were the Newcastle pairing If I remember rightly, we had Cannon Ball "Legs" Fleming and Billy Bingham, real stars. <ok>

I also remember the time when it was all over the papers that Newcastle were signing George Herd only for to find on Monday he had signed for Sunderland, was there ever a footballer with the consistency of Charlie Hurley, we once had headlines in the Football Echo " When is Hurley going to play a bad game "the halfback line of Anderson ,Hurley and McNab, Mapson in goal,then Monty , can still see George Mulhall flying down the wing R.I.P

Think we did the same with Eric Gates, but in defence the dirty deed was orchestrated by a Tynesider, a certain Mr. Mackemenemy. <laugh>. George Herd was a regular in my local chippy (not Alberts), he was a real gent, and a very fine play.
 
**** me, I know that I'm just a dirty skunk with no relevance, and obviously very slow, 'cos it was ages ago, but you're so bad that even Mitro scored against you (like he did against most teams, mind, so my point is just so stupid <doh>).

That's the first thing that you have ever said that I agree with
