.. 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 ..

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.

.. The Fair's cup is hardily an achievement ffs .. Sunderland have more 1st, 2nd & 3rd Top Flight finishes. There was no Euro competitions back then. You are still living off the back of the Keegan era and your 15 minutes of fame. I remember when you were averaging about 16,000. You're not even in the top three United's ..

.. You've won nowt for 56 years man .. Yeh! ****ing massive club like! ..

Yes one you have over us is that you were once 3RD DIVISION CHAMPIONS. WHOOPEE

And although you have also won the DURHAM SENIOR CUP a few times you have also been runners up on three occasions.
