    .. You can't blame the mags for obsessing about Sunderland ..

    .. I mean, when you have won nowt for 57 years and not likely to win out in the future, you have to do something to keep convincing yourselves that you are a big club ..

    So let's compare since 1960 then.

    Newcastle United.
    Inter City Fairs Cup 1969
    Anglo-Italian Cup 1973
    FA Cup runners up 1974
    Texaco Cup 1974
    Texaco Cup 1975
    League Cup Runners up 1975
    Fizzy Champ 1993
    Prem 3rd 1994
    Prem Runners up 1996
    Prem Runners up 1997
    Prem 3rd 2003
    UEFA InterToto Cup 2006
    Fizzy Champs 2010
    Fizzy Champs 2017

    Blunderland's record same period

    2nd div runners up 1964
    2nd div won 1976
    FA Cup won 1973
    2nd div runners up 1980
    League Cup runners up 1985
    3RD DIV CHAMPIONS 1988 ******* BRILLIANT THAT ONE
    2nd div won 1990
    FA cup runners up 1992
    1st Div won 1996
    1st div won 1999
    Fizzy champions 2005
    Fizzy champions 2007
    League Cup runners up 2014

    Neither superlative compared to the big boys but Andy. Are you for real or is it that you just can't read.

    Mmmm.... I think obsession would be a thread on your neighbours manager totalling almost 300 pages ohhh wait a minute thats on RTG isnt it or maybe a thread on your neighbours match when they are in a higher league! As for 57 years I think your maths is poor as we won the Fairs Cup in 1969, 47 years ago and the FA Cup was 1955, 62 years ago. I don't want to get into the Fairs Cup issue, as I know Sland fans think it was a nothing cup but I refer you to Barcelona's honours below (one of the top 3 clubs in the world) and they have their 3 Fairs Cups alongside Champions League, Cup Winners Cups and LA Liga's. Arsenal are the same with their honours list.

    I don't know about obsession, but I, for one, am thoroughly enjoying the way the tables have turned in the past 12 months.

    I'm also enjoying seeing just how easy the championship is.

    A big club shows its size by how much loyalty is shown by the MANY, even in times of strife.
    I'd say we are a big club.
    Sunderland should also be a big club and once was. It appears that their fans prefer the minnow tag as it stands.
    There's still a bit of hope for Sunderland to get back among the big clubs, but it has to be much sooner rather than later or all is lost.

    I'm not even saying that as a dig or a joke. I'm being serious.

    In that case they are not a big club as the MANY f*ck off every time they are relegated ( the SOS is less than half full )
