    Well lads, after Syd's plea to bring a bit of banter back between both teams (alliteration beeyotch!) I stuck this on the Sunderland boards as a genuine question...Obviously it's addressed to them but you get the drift: Would any of you swap it?

    I was sat thinking about what the main differences are between our 2 very similar clubs...The main one is probably the varying forms of success:

    You famously won the FA Cup in 1973, whilst we haven't won it since '55 and haven't won anything of note since '69...We on the other hand, were regularly qualifying for Europe (Champions League and Uefa Cup) pretty consistently for over a decade throughout the 90's and 2000's.

    So my question is this;

    Would you trade the bragging rights of winning the last major trophy between us, the glory of beating the mighty Leeds, of capturing the heart of the nation, for our seasons in Europe, for 15,000 in Milan, for hatricks against Barca, for the excitement of consistent Wedneday/Thusday football?

    And let's keep the wumming to a semi-intelligent level eh lads!
